Jira Integration - 'Attach from Box'
Work with Jira to provide a Box integration allowing Box files to be easily 'attached' to Jira issues. Currently, users can choose from content locally stored on their computer when attaching files to issues, but this request is for:
- An integration that would allow the user to 'attach from Box'
- Once a Box file is 'attached' to an issue, Jira would then keep that content in sync between Box and Jira (just like Slack does)
5 votesThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Setting in the Admin Console so that an Admin can only change settings while in a defined IP range.
5 votesThis is not planned at this time.

Device Limiting
We would like users to limit the number of devices a user can have connected to their Box account at a single time; but would like users to be able to manage those devices themselves, so that when a user gets a new phone they can "remove" their old device from their account settings and log into the new phone without having to contact an administrator.
5 votesThank you for this request!
We will review this with additional demand.

Allow Search API call to search using wildcards
if I wanted to get the item ids of all files within a users account, I would have to run the Get Folder Items for all subfolders. If there’s a large folder tree, it would either take to long to iterate through all subfolders or I would run into an API rate limitation. It would be easiest if the Search API call can allow searching using wildcards so it would just take one API call to get a list of all item ids.

Ability to clear out queued 'Silent Mode' messages that go out to customers
If silent mode is enabled and kept on for implementation period, and then turned off, it would send all those queued messages. We would like to clear out this queue in advance.

A Way to See Containing Folder From Search Results
We are searching for a file and there is no easy way to see the folders in which the resulting files are contained.
5 votesWe are not currently planning to implement this feature within search. Containing folder information will continue to be available through file previews and in the browse view.

New Groups UI: Make Shared Folders Page Sortable
Currently the Edit Shared Folders page lists the folders in random order. Admins want the ability to sort by the main columns for groups that have high folder counts.
5 votesWe have made the text for long folder names wrap in the Edit Shared Folders view, so cut off folder names with a company or department prefix should no longer be a problem.
However, we have not made the folders name column on the page sortable and don’t currently have plans to make this sortable.

Add Option to Hide Login Button
The Embed always shows a 'login' button for Folder Embeds if the current user has not yet logged in. This creates an odd experience when the Embed is open (doesn't require authentication) as it appears, to the user, like logging in is needed, even though it's not.
The ideal solution would be to show an option to hide/show the 'log in' button when generating the embed widget.

Add folder upload support to UI Elements
Currently, Content Uploader UI Element only supports uploading files. We want the ability to expand that functionality to folders.
5 votesGreat suggestion! We’ll look into it.

Trashed items: include details about the deleter
When a user makes a GET call for all trashed items, the response does not include details (name/user ID) of the user who trashed each item. This is inconsistent with the Web App view of a user's trash. The Web App view includes the name of the item deleter.

Currently you are not able to export external users as a list. You can only validate if a certain user is external or not.

Ability to preview previously cached files by using spacebar in mac finder
When navigating through files in Mac Finder, if you select a file and hit spacebar it will pop open a preview.
Since Box Sync supports this one would think if a file has been previously opened and cached locally by Box Drive, it would also be supported but it doesn't

Ability to cancel upload and download errors and clean up list when there are errors
When there are errors uploading or downloading files, I would like the ability to cancel the upload or download and clean up the error list. The only option now is currently to retry the update.

This introduces more fragmentation of data.

Request to add an Address book feature when adding or @mentioning users.
Currently, there are only 5 suggestions displayed when adding, @mentioning users.
There are more than 5 users with the same name and it is hard to filter out the exact user.
We would like an address book feature so we can filter out the users to invite. Address book should include user name, Organization name, groups, etc.
5 votesThis is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers.
We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Ability for Partial Searches
If the filename is Security Committee, searching ?Commit will find the file but searching omit will not.
Maybe the keywordless search option that is coming up will solve this? Not sure. Thanks!
5 votesThanks for your suggestion! We will not be adding this functionality in the foreseeable future.

Canvas LMS integration
Useful for universities.
5 votesThis is not planned from the Box side. If Canvas wants to build the integration, that would be the best path.

Request to Add Overwrite/Version Functionality to File Copy Operations via API
Currently the only way to add a version to a file is to download it and upload the new version with the If-Match header.
We are archiving files when a new file version is uploaded to a "main" folder, and to do that we have to download the existing version to our server and then generate a separate request to upload the file.
Ideally, we would be able to combine the requests into one - a COPY (https://box-content.readme.io/reference#copy-a-file) that can overwrite an existing file in the destination folder if the appropriate etag is supplied during the copy request.
5 votesThis is not something we will build due to other roadmap commitments.
Alternatively, you could always upload latest version to “backup folder,” delete file from “current version” folder, then copy “backup folder” version to “current version” folder.
This will get you 100% version history in backup folder and avoid the need to download & upload the file a second time.

Autocomplete & search for Tags should not be case sensitive
Right now, Tags are case sensitive. Meaning if you have a tag like "Olive", and you start typing a search for "o", the "Olive" tag won't show up.
