Ability to export list of sub-folders when users select a parent folder.
Customer collaborate with external venders to share files and folders. In order to manage which folders and files received from external venders, the customer has to keep track records by using other system. Currently, users enter which date they received from which venders by manually. It is very helpful to export list of sub-folders in csv format to import this file to another system.

Don't ignore dotfiles. Allow users to specify names or patterns to ignore.
Many files that start with a period are not meant to be ignored (.gitignore, .emacs, .Rhistory, .RData). Box should ignore only filesystem-specific files such as .DS_Store, and sync everything else. Better yet, allow users to specify the filenames or patterns that should be ignored.

In China we have to use (redacted) as box.com is blocked, and after few weeks not logining (Box Alternate domain)
One of our vendor can’t login box with his own company email account. And then can’t share file with him to update.
I found he can’t see the “i’m not a robot” after login (Box Alternate domain) to fill in password as he doesn’t have VPN enabled
after i use his account to login and validated this, he can then login normally.
Looks if you don’t use box for few weeks, it will ask you to validate via this google authentication way which he can’t see it without VPN.
How to fix this for china users if they can't use VPN?

Shield reports suspicious IP location when opening files through O365. Adds lots of unnecesary noise
In Shield, when a user previews/opens a file to Office Online it tracks as a suspicious IP location. It would be great if it could be separated and designated a lower priority than a genuine account compromise. Just a suggestion to clean up the Shield alert queue

Popups
When someone who is not logged in and doesn't have an account uses a public link to a folder in order to download a file, they get a popup that says "Your download is in progress," but at the bottom it says "In the meantime, log in to Box to save files you view in your Recents and upload, share and comment on the content you care about most."
That text is very misleading and is confusing people when they're just trying to download files. Can I disable that popup? If not, I strongly urge you to revise the way that looks. People are interpreting it as a requirement that they sign in or sign up in order to download files. Very misleading!

Remove 100 "to_user_ids" limit of WebhookV1.
With webhook V1, we have the upper bound of 100 users in "touserids" field for each notification, so when a webhook has too many recipients (that is, more than 100 users are to be set in "touserids" field), we send multiple webhook notification for a single event so "touserids" is kept within 100 users for each notification.
For e.g. if an upload event was to trigger notification to 1000 recipients, we send 10 webhook notifications to the notification url with 100 users embedded in "touserids" field of each notification.
This causes duplicate notifications be sent to notification url although we only want to receive a single notification for a single event. We want this 100 users limit expanded so we can avoid this.

Popup
After I edit a file, a green notification popup is displayed telling me I just edited the file. This popup follows me around and prohibits me from clicking links (edit file e.g.) until I close it. While somewhat minor, it is rather annoying to have to close each popup notification, when moving about and editing multiple files. Thanks.

As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console
I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.
I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.
I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.
My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

Password Protected Folders
Would love to be able to password protect certain folders within an unprotected folder. Since permissions "waterfall", I am unable to have a private folder within a public one. After reading the forums, this would be a very useful and widely used feature for businesses who want to limit access to folders to certain groups.

Subtitle Format Expansion (SSA)
Right now the only supported subtitle formats are SRT (subrip), WebVTT, mov_text, and ccaption.
We have a large number of videos that utilize a widely utilized standard called Substation Alpha (SSA).
Please update the product for support of the SSA format.

Allow Box to work with iOS Files app without having to disable sitewide security passcodes
When using the Files App on iOS, you cannot connect to Box (as a location) if your enterprise settings require a passcode to use the Box app. Surely there must be some way to achieve this functionality without having to turn off passcode security for the whole firm.

File Shortcuts
I want to be able to have file shortcuts. They are just pointers to a file that can be placed in other folders throughout the file system. This makes it seem like there are copies of the file in multiple folders and all of the copies get updated whenever one gets updated because its actually one file with a bunch of references pointing to it.
31 votesWe understand the convenience that implementing this feature would bring, but recommend using the existing Bookmarks feature as a more efficient and simplified means for achieving the desired behavior.

I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder
I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.
When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Invited users only"Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Company users", "Invited users only"
3."Invited users only"If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you can use the setting of 2.
Please consider it because a lot of people will be saved.
