Single File Collaboration - Preview Permission
The current implementation of Single File Collaboration is lacking the Preview permission.
As organizations transition to the single file model, the functionality should align to the folder permission model as closely as possible to maintain ease of use and consistency within the application.
The current behavior is to set the permission to Editor and require the user to navigate to multiple windows to downgrade rights to Viewer. The Viewer role still allows content to be downloaded to a local machine.
We request Preview rights so that functionality like Watermarking can still be leveraged and to minimize data spillage.

Confirm click-and-drag Move for folders
The user would like a confirmation that they really want to move an item to another location before it does it.

User-Level 'History/Activity Manager' - View Prior Actions with Option to Undo
Users often perform a variety of actions in their account - renaming files, moving files, copying files, etc.
There's always a success/failure banner (with an 'undo' button) for these larger actions (like move/copy), but that banner is dismissed pretty quickly
There are scenarios, however, where a user performs an action (especially a somewhat destructive action - like accidentally moving a bunch of files) and they need to undo it AFTER the 'undo?' banner disappears.
REQUEST: Add an 'Activity Manager' or 'History Manager' at the account level that allows a user to view their actions and undo applicable ones. For example,…
6 votesThank you for this request! I can appreciate this use case. This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Allow Customization for 'Email to Upload' Email Address
Perhaps if the email address was tied to the actual instance like:
TEST_As.gbtuzmz6o0d088go@company.box.com
Then the Box server would have the ability to segregate all the addresses and we would not have issue of competition for addresses between companies that use Box. Thus be able to allow custom email addresses PER company. (i.e. allow us to modify address).
6 votesThis is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships
Allow for a Point in Time recovery.
We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.
6 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Allow change page size, change orientation, more fonts or font colors in Box Note
Adding more option to customize Box Note (font, format, orientation etc.) for better UX
6 votesWe intend Box Notes to be for casual documents. Meeting notes, project plans, etc.
It’s not intended for flyers, fancy collateral, perfectly formatted PDFs. For those, we still recommend a program like Microsoft Word.
We do not plan to add these types of things to Box Notes.

Groups visibility for end users
Allow users to see which groups they are a part of and who is in them. Potential workaround provided here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-How-To-Forum/Box-Groups-Visibility-for-Users/m-p/26075/highlight/true#M2052
If some businesses want this restricted, this could be an Enterprise checkbox feature?

Ability to use "Apply to all folders" when adjusting column width in file explorer
Thousands of subfolders with large structure; adjusting column width of each folder is not efficient

Disable preview mode when opening Office 365 files
Preview mode is an extra step that is confusing our technically challenged and upper management. Believe it or not, they come across this roadblock (as it is perceived) and get turned off by Box, thereby defaulting back to opening locally.

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

Enable SSO through OAuth2 and not only SAML 2.0
We use an in-house IdP. This IdP leverages OAuth2 OpenID. It does not use SAML 2.0
Therefore we need Box to have the capability to enable SSO through OAuth2 and not only SAML 2.0

Support for Macro-enabled Files
Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.
Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

We understand this use case, however it is not a current priority for the team. We will let you know if anything changes.

Support for .bak files through Box Drive.
Currently .bak files in Box are not exposed in the Box folder in Explorer, and putting a .bak file in your Box folder will result in a "problem file"

Thanks for the suggestion! We currently do not have plans to integrate tasks with calendar applications. Please continue to submit your use cases here, as we may revisit in a future planning cycle based on customer demand.
