see folder in file properties
When I send a colleague an email from Box (by @Name in a comment), the email contains a link to the file, but no info on the location of the file within our folders. If I'm asking that person to change the file's tags, they have to hunt for where the file is located. If they could see the location from the file properties, they could get right to it.

Archive folders
Ability to manually or automatically archive folders that have not been modified for a while. The Archived files are searchable, but don't appear in normal file system (similar to how Gmail's archived emails don't show up in Inbox, but can be searched)

Support Drag & Drop from Box Web App to Outlook
Please enable the ability to drag and drop files FROM Box Web App TO Outlook email client (including the option to insert them as links OR to add them as normal attachments). Currently there is no native Drag and Drop functionality available between the Box Web App and Outlook. Therefore, the process to add file attachments/links to emails via the Web App or Outlook Plug-In is actually currently LESS efficient with BOX than without it. Since BOX Drive is not available for virtual clients (such as Terminal Server or Citrix), their only option is to use the Web App or Outlook Plug-In, but neither of those options is as seamless or efficient as Drag & Drop. In addition, the ability to choose whether or not to drag them in as links OR attachments is also important, since there are many workflows and outside companies who's automated email processing systems and workflows do not support embedded links, so the ability to send normal attachments to those companies using box is also important.

Google
Integrate Box as an additional "drive" in Google Drive. This would allow people to easily share documents from within Google Drive using Box. All of my templates are in Drive, I do real-time collaboration in Google Drive, none of which is currently doable in Box.

Improvements to Collaborations Report
The current report misses of two vital items of data when managing External Collaborators. Namely the data last logged in and the date the account expires.
This extra data would allow administrators to see who is using their Box account and who is due to expire in the forthcoming period.
Please vote for my idea.

Ability to block users from downloading files on computer so as to protect proprietary information.
We want users to be able to ONLY download files on box app on ipad (which has ability to not share). but doing so- currently it provides a download option on box.com also which a user can go to any external computer and log in and download files which is a violation for using proprietary files. So Admin an option to restrict user access to download files only on box app.

Please create navigation to split "shared with me" files and folders from my own files and folders, similar to OneDrive.
Please, please, create a separate view on the web to just showcase files and folders that are shared with me; rather than files/folders that are of my ownership. Similar to what other file storage providers offer, like OneDrive.
18 votesThank you for the feedback here -we are considering various ways to split shared/owned content & are considering this for the future roadmap, but don’t currently have a timeline for this.

High quality watermarked PDF downloads.
I'm not sure where this should go, but the current feature that allows downloads to be watermarked is great, except the quality of the downloaded document is not great. It is very difficult to read because the resolution changes when the watermark is applied. In fact, it's so bad in our case that the service is not usable and we have to find a different service to watermark PDFs for our downloaders. It would be great if you could find a way to improve the quality of the PDF when a watermark is applied. Thank you.

Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream
Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

Drive is unstable and crashes quite easily when many items are copied. We hope Drive be robust and stable enough for batch/powershell scripted copy/move/etc.

Support Emojis in file names
Box currently does not support Emojis in filenames, which means it won't sync if I drag and drop a file from my desktop into Box Drive. It would be great if Box would support the same characters in file names as current OSes

Ability to sort box applications by approval status
There are currently 147 pages of applications available for approval but no easy way to see which apps are approved/disabled other than scrolling through each page. Please add the ability to filter based on approval status of the apps.

Ability to sync individual files,
The ability to sync an individual file would be very useful. I often just need a few files if i'm on a flight for example and don't need the whole folder. Copying into a new folder just to sync an individual file is not a great solution.
