Add a "request to share with me" button to Box folders
Lets say that a folder has Mary as the owner and Bob as the co-owner permissions wise. I would like a button that any other Box user can click on (for example a 'request permission' button) which when clicked, Mary and Bob will receive an email informing them that a user has requested viewer/editor rights for the folder (the user can select what permissions they are asking for). Mary or Bob can easily click an approve or a decline button from the email to grant or deny the access.

Move the "Upload, Folder, Word Document, Excel File" option in a folder
Any time I open a folder, my subfolders / files populate below, but after .5-1 second, four of the most annoying boxes in the world pop up above that list called "Upload, Folder, Word Document, and Excel File." This causes all of the subfolders / files to be shifted down so that even when I try to quickly click on one, it will go to the wrong folder because everything has just shifted down. While I often use these options, trying to get from folder to folder is made so much slower and it's insanely aggravating to have to wait…

Automatic Image folder in chronological order
As an administrator would be great to have all image files collected automatically in a single location where it would be shared easily with the team regardless of where the individual filed it. Need a global visual in chronological order.
Include select items or all feature.

Ability to add a group of users to feed

Exception to password expiration rule
There is a need to allow for specific user accounts to have a longer password expiration policy applied to them. However, Box's policy is EID-wide, which means that there has to be workarounds to deal with specific use-cases in which the user accounts require longer password expiration.
It would be great if there could be an exception added to the user account like what Box does with device pinning. This would be an easy solution to the problem, the admin could go into the users' settings, provide their password expiration time frame as the exception.

Enable auto complete for internal users when collaborating
When going to share a file or folder with an internal user, unless you have collaborated in the past, auto complete does not come up. In fact when you put in the internal email address, it shows a globe as if the user is external. A way to use a directory sync would be helpful, but since not all users have Box in our domain, showing just those with accounts suffices and would actually be the most helpful.

UI improvements - Download Button
received multiple feedback from users, where their client missing out the button on how to download, ended up they trying to sign up, which not ideal in term of fast pace workflow
should be making the Download button bigger and colored, so more stands out,
currently the button a bit hard to notice, but instead the Log In and Sign up superseded the overall view1 vote -
Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files
Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.
Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file to…

When an email address is marked as undeliverable, show that status in the console
When your system marks an email address as undeliverable, there's currently no way to see that in the admin console. The Resend Invite button is available but the invite will never be sent because you're suppressing the address.
In an ideal world, we'd be able to see that and toggle the status, but even if we could just see the status it would save time.

Export all data belonging to a Custodian on Legal Hold
There is currently no way through Box to export all of a user's data for offline preservation and legal review. This workflow is necessary for the EDRM model, as the files may still be altered while under Legal Hold.

Box for Outlook (app) - Insert link at character
The Box for Outlook app (deployed through Microsoft 365 admin centre - not as part of Box for Office), inserts links as an image and file name at the bottom of the email that is being created.
This is an awful user experience for recipients. It would be better to insert links in the same way as the Box for Office Outlook add-in works. This allows putting a link at the character point.

Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously
Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously.
Even when the link is configured to "people with the link can edit," external collaborators are still required to log into both Box and Google Workspace in order to edit Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides via the Box integration, which is way too much friction and strongly discourages use.
I strongly recommend that we offer optionality. While highly security conscious departments (e.g. IT, InfoSec, HR, legal, finance) might require an audit history with details about who edited content, which requires people to login; conversely,…

More customization of Box for Teams V2 Usage
We were wondering if we could partially turn on Box for Teams V2. Specifically, we want to turn off the option to create the "Box Files" tab but leave on the options to share Box content directly in groups chats or channel posts. The fact that it's set up as an all-or-nothing feature for now is holding us back from using it at all.

Box Shutdowns down early during shutdown, so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted
This problem plagues me onace a week or so. When Windows 10 is shutting down, Box Drive shutdowns down early before Windows asks to save opened changed docs - so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted. I end up having to save locally, reboot, then put the file into Box, then shutdown a second time. Painful, especially at the end of the day.
Proposal - work with Microsoft on a way to delay the Box shutdown point - until after the cancel shutdown message occurs...1 vote -

Box Shield - Internal users on lists
Would like the ability to add internal users in addition to external collaborators to Shield lists. Right now we can only apply the Shield access controls to external collaborators outside our EID. We would like the lists to be able to b applied to our internal users as well to create policies around specific users and groups. Would provide much needed guardrails for the business groups inside our instance
