Links that open excel spreadsheets to a particular cell and/or worksheet
A few of the users here at Quay Australia have asked me about how to send out links to spreadsheets saved to Box that will open the workbook in question to a particular worksheet and cell, like the capability in One Drive detailed here: https://superuser.com/questions/804139/can-i-modify-excel-online-share-urls-to-open-to-a-specific-worksheet. I've tried this method with a Box link and it just opens the file where the last editor left off. If you could develop this capability, many of my end-users at Quay Australia would be very thankful.

Add avility to highlight differences between any 2 versions of BoxNotes.
At this time, highlight is available but it is just once and never appear again.
This idea makes it possible to view differences between the current version and the version one generation ago by showing hilights permanentily . Sure, any 2 versions of BoxNotes are better.

Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention
For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:
1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane.…

Show full path for Box updates emails - new items were added to
Please show the full folder path for the Box Updates emails that alert users that "new items were added to."
There is no possible business case for showing only the tail end of the path/filename.
Users might have multiple parent folders with identical subfolder structures, in which case showing only the tail end of the path doesn't allow the user to know which parent folder the update applies to.3 votes -
Email notifications for uploads to a folder are very delayed
We would like to request the email service that is responsible for sending upload notifications to be in real time so we do not waste time having to double check with collaborators if they have uploaded something yet.

Visual rep of all folder paths
Reports: Provide a visual map of entire enterprise folder trees. An "org chart" of folders.
When I run a report to provide managers of their data and where it's stored, it's a 10000+ line Excel file that share a path for lines and lines. Can this data be translated into a visual chart? Would be much cleaner. Thanks.

It is really frustrating when sharing a file & writing an explanation that is deemed "too long" - so your system just deletes it & there's n
sharing with email limit: word limit too low & without warning message is lost

Add "synchronize" or "versions" to the BoxCLI "folders:upload" functions
I am looking for a way to "synchronize" a folder and all of it's contents with the BoxCLI.
So, lets say i run this command:"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID%"
How can i upload the folder, and only "Update" what has changed?
It would be nice to have something for "Folders" like you have for "Files"
"box files:versions:upload FILEID PATH"
maybe - "box folders:versions:upload FOLDERID PATH"
which would update all of the contents of the folder, version stuff that exist, add items that don't.
I know i can "box:folders:delete"... then "box:folders:upload" again.. but seems a waist of bandwidth and time..

Add "Box DICOM Import" functions to the BoxCLI
One thing that would be handy is to be able to upload a folder (of dicom files) and process the contents with the "Box DICOM Import" functionality using the BoxCLI.
Maybe something like: (add a flag to current box:folders:upload command)
"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID% --dicom-import"
That would be Nice!

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

sort colaborators list attached to a folder by their last name
As a teacher I add students to my folder as collaborators. If I want to make sure they are all in, I read my enrolment which is in sensible alphabetical order and have to check each name presence in "share list" in Box which is unsorted. This algorithm is O(n^2). If Box "shared list was sorted" it would be O(2*n). For 20 students that is difference between 400 and 40 compares. --thank you [add new category-- Usability]

box sync
The company I work for would love to keep the box sync app running for our computers as it is a real convince to only sync the files the designers are working on at the moment and allows us to control what to work on and not have to search through the whole box drive to find the one file every time to work on.

Version control - multiple uploads of the same file
Person A uploads file 1 then person B uploads a new version file 2 as a separate file instead of using the upload new version feature. Same thing for person C and D with files 3 and 4 with 4 being the latest. Any editor should be able to select these multiple files and merge them into one where the files are autosorted according to date. So one file with file 1 as the file name but the contents show file 4 as the latest and if you check version history, you'll see files 1, 2, & 3.
Thank you…

Folder Integrations not available on All Files unless user is owner
We have an App Integration for Folders; Quick Scan. If a user has access to upload to a folder they can use Quick Scan from the Folder's More Actions, Integrations menu to scan a document directly into the folder.
It appears, if a user is the Owner of the folder, the Integration to Quick Scan appears when accessing the Folder's More Options from the All Files area. But, if the user is not the Owner, no Folder Integrations appear. The Folder Integrations always appear if the folder More Options is accessed from a sub-folder, i.e. not the All Files area.
