Increase the 10,000 Limit for Groups
Currently if you create more than 10,000 groups, the groups at the bottom of the list alphabetically cannot be searched for when creating a collaboration.
38 votesThis is definitely something that we want to do. However, it is a long term project that will take us more than a year. Marking as ‘not planned’ for now but will update the status once we have more details.

@'ing box groups in comments
Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.38 votesThank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

Report on installed Box Drive versions by user
Need a report admins can run that will show all users who have ever used Drive and what the last version of Drive they last used was. Ideally there is a Device ID or Device Name as well.
Use Case - Often admins do not have a device management system which would be used to run this report. Without that system in place OR without all devices being managed under it, admins have no visibility into what software is installed on their unmanaged users machines. Box won't be able to tell them all users who have it installed (if it…

Office Online Only Setting
A setting that folder owners could implement that makes it so the document can only be opened/edited with Office Online.
38 votesShield's download and print restrictions can prevent non owner/co-owner collaborators from downloading sensitive content based on classification and still allow them to open/edit the file with Office Online.

【New UI】 Ability to limit authorization settings by co-administrators.
After the change to the new UI, co-administrators are no longer able to grant or revoke co-administrator privileges to other users for security reasons.
Some users have voiced a lack of convenience because they are no longer able to do things that were previously possible with co-administrator authority.
We would like to see a restriction feature added to allow operation only by some co-administrators.新UIに変更後、セキュリティ強化の観点から共同管理者では他ユーザーに対し共同管理者権限の付与や剥奪の操作が行えなくなっています。
これまで共同管理者権限で実施出来ていたことが出来なくなっているため利便性が欠けている声が上がっている。
一部の共同管理者のみ操作を可能にする制限機能を追加してほしいです。37 votes -

Add configuration option to hide the right-hand sidebar automatically
When a file is opened, the right-hand sidebar is open by default. My preference is to have it closed, so I must close it each time. Please add a configuration option that would allow for users to set that sidebar closed at startup by default.

"inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage
FEATURE IDEA:
Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.BENEFITS & BACKGROUND
During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).
Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or…
37 votesBox storage platform already has optimizations in place to intelligently detect active (most recently and frequently used) data, and migrate it to cost-effective tiers. Great suggestion though!

Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To
As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).
37 votesFolder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.

Custom Branding and Customized Email Notifications

- any logo
- the signature

We do not have near-term plans to add this capability right now. You might be able to get a similar effect by using Device Trust on those endpoints and requiring a specific certificate on a device, which is limited to just those groups of users.

Canvas feature improvements
After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:
- Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
- Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
- Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
- Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
- Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…

Shield Dashboard to search files
I would like to have a feature in Shield Dashboard to search files to malware deep scan result. This is because the admin receive feedback about a specific file from end users and so the admin would like to check that file easily from the dashboard.
36 votesThis is under consideration as we develop additional filtering controls for the Shield Dashboard.
