Remove Recent button from Web portal
Let's say I watched private photos uploaded to Box.com. Next time I want to show someone some public photos using web version of Box.com under my account. I log in and - voila! - my private photos are visible under "Recent" now! No good. I suggest to optionally hide "Recent" from Home portal.

Ability to type metadata date in addition to using the date picker on metadata templates
Selecting dates far in the future or past is tedious. Selecting the year 1920, for example, requires clicking into the year dropdown menu in 10 year increments (9 clicks!). It would be a lot easier to type in the date desired.

Fix the display of "More Options" menus from file lists
Clicking the "..." (More Options) menu popup from a file list often results in a truncated menu being displayed, rendering several options unreachable. I should not have to load a preview of a file in order to upload a new version. This is a UI defect.

Improve preview window navigation
When checking previews in the Web app the Previous button continuously moves if you go between files that have single or multiple pages. With multiple-page files, a thumbnail pane appears which pushes the Previous arrow around making it a nuisance to preview files smoothly.
Please put the thumbnail pane inside the preview area so the Previous button doesn't jump around. Also, it would be really nice to move between files with the left and right keys on the keyboard, wouldn't it?
Thank you.6 votes -
Allow deleted Collection items to be restored or undo option
Today if you click the dropdown for a collection, it is easy to unintentionally click the delete button for a collection item based on the above collection still loading. If an item is unintentionally deleted from a collection, the end user should have the ability to restore the deleted item so it is not permanently lost.

Box Drive compatibility with MacOS Big Sur
It appears Box Drive uses a legacy extension no longer supported with the latest MacOS release, Big Sur.
In addition, the new M1 based machines have been widely applauded for their performance and battery life. I assume this will translate to increased sales.
So when you do make Box apps Big Sur compatible, I would recommend building a universal app supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon.

Invite users to file request
We would like to inform our users that we have created a file request area for them. As soon as we create a file request we would like to be able to send a number of users a notification that they should upload their files there.
Currently we have to manually copy the URL into an email to inform people, which breaks the flow. We would like the same functionality we see when creating shared links.

Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.
I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

Avoid syncing certain file types.
Hello.
I am a 3D modeler and I use Box assiduously.
My working folder is directly Box's sync directory. The program that I use saves a backup version of the model, time to time and sometimes this files are huge.
I ran into the problem that these backups are synchronized, generating traffic and taking up space.
It would be a great help if it could be included in future versions, to be able to ignore certain files based on their extension.
Thank you.

cascading auto-start workflows
cascading auto-start workflows. We have a specific use case defined that would greatly benefit from this capability - shield classification being applied automatically alerts the uploader of the file that the content needs to be moved. This would be a big win for USAA

Adding tags individually can be time-consuming, so I would like to see the ability to add tags in batches.

Auto-syncing folders to desktop
If a folder is shared with a person within an organization, there should be a feature that automatically syncs that folder to your desktop. Every quarter, my company creates a new folder for that quarters materials. And every quarter, we have to log into the browser and sync that new folder to our desktop. Its a simple task, but I spend a significant amount of time walking our employees through how to do it, and explaining why they cant see our new materials when they become available. It also doesn't help that the browser view presents differently in different browsers.…

Add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
When we preview the file, on the right side of the screen, in the Activity column, we will see "Add Task".
However, there are times when we don't want our users to use the task feature.
Please add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
For example, it would be nice if we could disable the task function in the folder settings.ファイルをプレビューした際、画面右側、アクティビティのカラムに「タスクの追加」とあります。
しかし、タスク機能をユーザーに利用させたくないことがあります。
「タスクの追加」を表示しないようにする設定を追加してください。
たとえば、フォルダの設定でタスク機能を無効にするなどできると嬉しいです。6 votes -
Service Accounts should be rate limited differently than user accounts
Currently, when you use a service account to access Box API's, in order to get access to content you need to use the As-User header "impersonate" users in order to access the files that are owned by then.
So if you are doing something like using a service account to crawl through all the files in a folder in box, you would need to use the As-User header in order to impersonate a user who owns/has access to each file while doing it.
But there is a huge problem here is that the rate limiting is done using the As-User…

From Box Drive experience side, Showing who is locking.
From Box Drive experience side, Showing who is locking.
Not from web app side. Would like to show the username who has locked the file on Box Drive icon. ex. a mouse over and comes up the username who locked that file.6 votes -
Allow Excel to open "Export Users" report (csv) without worrying about garbled characters
Admin Console > Users&Groups > Managed Users > Export Users
Please change "Export Users" report to the format of the UTF8 csv file with BOM
The format of the "Export Users" report has been changed to csv.
Therefore, when you import it into Excel as it is, the characters will be garbled.The workaround now:
We change it to csv file with UTF8 BOM in a text editor now before importing it into Excel.However, this workaround would required few extra steps before importing it into Excel.

Sidebar is too dark
Font needs to be legible in sidebar of Favorites. Currently the font is white when viewing list of all files, but font turns black when viewing a specific folder. It's too hard to read black words upon blue background. Please revise, thanks.

When we open a PDF with the Box app (Box for EMM) on iPad, the Activity column appears on the right side of the screen.
When we open a PDF with the Box app (Box for EMM) on iPad, the Activity column appears on the right side of the screen.
It takes a lot of work to maximize this PDF, as you have to make one click each time.
We would like to prevent Activity from being displayed by default when previewing a PDF.If we use our iPad vertically, Activity will not be displayed, but it is assumed that we will use it horizontally.

We want a function to divide files created with Box Notes by category (tag).
[Background]
Box Notes is harder to use than OneNote.
The reason is that it is difficult to find files from INBOX because files cannot be divided by categories (tags, folders, etc.).6 votes
