Ability to add attachments to Box Notes
As a collaborative editing tool, attaching related materials would be useful in many situations (today, we upload the attachments & link to them, but this presents access limitations & additional steps.)
This is essentially already allowed with the upload ability of image types, but given file level collaboration, having attachments would solve numerous issues our teams are starting to encounter.
3 votesThis is not a current focus area for the Box Notes roadmap. We are happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files
When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.
5 votesThis should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

This is available to set up in a custom environment. However, we do not plan to create an in-product solution to address this need.

Virus Scan Alert on virus-found should send to co-admin as well
Since the Box administrator account is not tied to any IT member, it is very impractical for us to review the emails this account receives.
Thus, we would like to request such emails to be sent to co-admins as well.
0 votesAs an alternative to the email sent to the admin, virus scan alerts are logged in the Box Events API.
FILE_MARKED_MALICIOUS event that indicates a virus is found on a file in Box.

Request to add Chunk Downloads, download resume feature
When a large file fails to download, users will have to start the download from the beginning all over again. We would like a retry/resume feature.
10 votesGood morning, Box supports 'HTTP Range Headers' for downloads that allow Browsers or any compatible client to request ranges of the data instead of the full file at once. This allows browsers to pause and resume downloads from Box. More details about HTTP Range Headers here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/R.

Support Kerberos Authentication for Macs (Box for Desktop)
We require authentication for all traffic on our corporate networks/proxies.
We leverage Kerberos and request full support of the Kerberos protocol for all calls made by Box for Desktop.
Context: Currently, Box Sync supports Kerberos for the login flow (due to the Sync login page being an embedded WebKit browser which DOES support Kerberos), but Box Sync doesn't actually support Kerberos for its own network requests (that happen after the login flow).

Hiding list/view of Collaborators without removing ability for users to add new collaborators.
This is more of a cosmetic request to hide all collaborators (view of owners and co-owners is fine) but still provide ability for collaborators to invite new ones.
0 votesThis is the first request we have heard for something like this and the use case isn’t totally clear to us.
It seems to be pretty narrow with low impact so we will not prioritize it on our roadmap, but we will keep an eye out to see if this begins trending.

This is a very niche use case that could help customers, but also negatively impact other customers.
I would like to better understand the root problem before adding complexity to the product.

Ability to add a comment to a user.
If we mark an account as Inactive, we'd like to be able to add a comment to the user for tracking purposes e.g., "Disabled by Jane D. per contract non-renewal."
0 votesThere is nothing planned in this area for now. Have you considered using the Tracking Codes feature?

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

This is a resource-intensive request. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Reports: Add Matter Name to Title of Report Export (Excel File)
Example name of the current report:
"legalholdsrunon7-28-16__2-24-23-PM"?That doesn't tell me which matter it's related to.
A unique identifier - likely the name - for the matter/hold should also be added to the file name.

Enlarge checkboxes on mobile clients.
On mobile it is easier to tap the text of the item instead of the check box, causing the keyboard to pop up, etc.
0 votesThank you for the feedback. This is not currently a priority on the roadmap, but we will monitor and revisit based on user feedback.

Additional MFA for Admin Console
When logged in as a user, we would like to be prompted for MFA for Admin Console access in case the admin's Box credentials are compromised

Control External Collaboration at User Level (not folder level)
Currently, users can have a restriction placed on them that folders owned by that user cannot be collaborated outside of the organization. However, if that user is invited into a folder that allows for external collaboration, that user can invite external collaborators.
We want flexibility to control this at a user by user basis. For example, User A should not be able to invite external collaborators, regardless of folder that they're invited into. However, User B should have the ability to do so (but only within folders that User B owns or within another folder that is set to allow…
4 votesThank you for this request! I’d like to see additional customers with use cases for user-level collaboration restrictions.
Collaboration is a setting that is tied to content rather than users, and I’m not sure that we have evidence yet to make changes to that model.

Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.
However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.
I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.

Ability to lock sections of a Box Note
Currently, if a user has edit permissions on a Box Note, they can edit any part of it. We would like the ability to "lock" certain blocks of text and table headers in a note so that other users do not modify or delete these accidentally.
8 votesWe’ll keep this in mind! However, this is not currently planned.
