Using number formatting breaks if you don't want an inserted space or image to be numbered
When I try to format a document using numbering, the sequence breaks if you don't continue the format. In Word, you can restart at 1 or continue numbering if you have a new section of numbers. This forces us to use bullets instead. Sometimes, we'd actually like to use the option of numbering when we are numbering steps.

Add more details in device trust logs
If device trust is checking for a setting (for example OS version), then the logs should show the actual version detected. This should be for every setting Box enables you to validate. It should also have more detail about the login attempt (hostname (not just IP address), OS, Box Drive vs Box web vs etc).
Further there should be a new event in the logs, DEVICETRUSTCHECKPASSED, with similar details so that we know the check happened and what values Box found when authorizing the device. Only having DEVICETRUSTCHECKFAILED provides no audit trail for showing the when the device trust check is being enforced.

If Box can have a feature for contents from Box be easily migrate to our Company's Share Point site as archival items, that will be helpful.
The documents and photos for our existing stores are no longer needed to be shared with any outside vendors. We would like to migrate and archive those information within our company's share point site. Currently Box doesn't have that a feature for a easy migration. Instead, items will need to be downloaded as a zip file first. It takes time and the process is tedious. If Box can have a migrate feature that can allow the Admin to move Box content back to our desire Share Point site, that will be very helpful.. don't you all think?

Add an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.
Could you please consider adding an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.
We found Box for EMM does not include any identifier like "Box for EMM" in its User-Agent when doing authentication with MAM checked-in. We just only allow access that "Box for EMM" includes in User-Agent. Therefore, ADFS cannot determine whether an application is Box for EMM or not and the user is unable to access from Box for EMM.

Force Box Drive to sync status with Box every time file is touched .
for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)
User B edits the file and tries to save but Drive will show that it wasn’t able to save back the change to box and creates a problematic file.
User B closes the file, and then reopens the file. The change User B made still shows up.
Onedrive checks for the latest status every time it opens a file or when you try to save a file it will sync status with what is in the cloud.for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)

New UI Beta Feedback
In the new UI beta, the Dev Console and Admin Console have been pushed too far to the bottom of the page. Whenever you hover over a link in Chrome, the URL preview covers up the Admin Console link. Suggestion would be to move both up to be a section beneath the collections.

Need to update Salesforce Community Lightning Component Package to include sharing, collaboration, etc
Customers are exploring Salesforce Communities for many use cases because of the no code/low code community builder capabilities which enables speed to market and ease of administration. When looking into the AppExchange options specifically for Communities for secure file sharing, onboarding, collaboration, etc that could easily be plugged in, the Box Communities Lightning Component Pack is quickly ruled it out because of the lack of capabilities and the fact that it hasn't been updated since 2016. Most Salesforce customers are either already using Communities or are exploring Communities as a fast, no code/low code option to connect with customers, partners, and employees. To go along with this, they are looking for easy plug and play options from the AppExchange to extend the capabilities of Salesforce Communities to meet certain needs/use cases. In the area of file sharing and collaboration, Box would stand out as a secure and easy solution if the community lightning components were more updated and on par with where Box is at today with capabilities.

Increase file size limit for Excel Online
The Box for Excel Online integration limits the size of an Excel document that can be edited to 5 MB. This is on the small side. Can this size limit be increased?

Set file to read only for users without editing permissions
Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.
Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

Improve exported report by showing both moves into and moves out of the folder.
If you run a User Activity report for a single folder using the 'Moved' filter and click 'Run,' the in-browser run of the results will show moves both into and out of the folder you selected.
If you build a User Activity report with the same parameters and click 'Export,' the generated spreadsheet of results will only show moves into the folder.
The report would give more thorough information if the exported report showed both moves into and moves out of the folder.

Relay: Folder picker, select folder in search
When choosing a folder when building a relay, there is a search box at the top. Often you will know the name of the folder you want to select, however, from the search results you can't put the dot in the folder name.
Instead you have to search for the folder that contains the folder you want, then find the destination folder by scrolling down the list so that you can put a dot in the select box.The ask is to make searching and then selecting the folder one smooth operation

Auto Expiration of Collaborations
For automatic expirations of external collaborators:
Add criteria to automatically remove an external collaborator after they have not accessed content for X amount of time instead of a fixed day amount. This way, after an external collaborator has not previewed a piece of content in X amount of days, they will be removed. Makes it less manual to extend external collaborators if the system is removing them for us because they are not accessing a folder.

Ability to run relay workflows as a group
Relay workflows and approval tasks are started and sent as the user that created the relay. Ideally you want to get the box approval task that is sent to the users to approve to look like it is coming from the team that is requesting the approval.
Example: Invoice approval
When an invoice approval relay starts, pick dept. from metadata and start an approval process to the appropriate user as defined in the workflow. The user gets an email that says 'boxadmin' (in out case the user that created the relay) has sent you an approval task.It would be better to have a senario whereby you could select the 'from' of the approval task creation to be from one of the security 'Groups' in Box. Therefore you could then get an email to say.

Ability to sync specific folder manually on Marking for Offline only if needed.
Ability to sync specific folder manually for Marking for Offline only if needed.
And, Drive should be added new icons for this.
When PC comes online, if the latest version is available, something icons on folders indicates you can get a new update on the folder.
it would be very helpful to notice them need to update on the folder.
This feature would help to reduce network usage between PC and Box.3 votes -
Attribute dropdown list for performing Metadata searches in Box
We need a way to search for assets with metadata WITHOUT having to manually enter in the values into the Advanced Search tool.
Without this important feature, users are forced to have to know beforehand or remember the values associated with each metadata atttribute.
If someone had no idea which values to input into the search tool to search for assets, then how would they perform a search?2 votes
