Can you modify the text in the prompt whenever sharing/collaborating with external users?
On the prompt page just below the continue button, can you change this "Not a part of Universal Service Administrative Company?" to “No, I am not part of Universal Services Administrative Company". Can you make it a hyperlink to enable external users to see and click on it ? The status quo now is creating a lot of confusion when collaborating with external users.

Automate email address for box folders
Our system automatically creates a box folders for each opportunity. In order to create an email for the folder we have to manually go into setting and create the email.
Can we have an option in the admin console to automate this?

Request for Supporting HTML tags for File Request.
Currently, there is no way to add HTML tags(i.e line break) into the title and instructions for “Customer’s Option” in the File Request
due to the explicitly prevented for security concerns. Since we cannot use line break for instructions, it is hard to read if the customer enter long sentence for the instructions.9 votes -

box drive metadata
With some of the new updates coming to Metadata, I'd like to request that Box Drive be able to support updates to Metadata on a folder/file.
As a start, a context menu option that would take a user directly to the metadata page.11 votesThanks for the feedback! This isn’t currently planned, but please keep the use cases coming to help us prioritize it.

Your browser based video player is slow and doesn't always load files.
video player is slow and at least 60% of the time I have to download a video because your website won't finish loading. It regularly gets hung up on the last 10% and will just sit there. This issue is destroying my productivity, and I am forced to download the files to my computer just so I can view them. My computer doesn't have infinite space, that's why we pay for your service.

box for outlook
Box for Outlook needs to support moving multiple emails to a box folder. Right now, I can only file an email to box one at a time, and the button is greyed out when I have more than one selected. Also ability to show some box folders in Outlook and drag and drop to those folders.

Removed Collaborator Report That Show Affected Folder Path, Folder Owner, & Link To Affected Folder
Recently, my company ran into an integration bug between Okta and Box, which result in a mass deprovisioning of users account. We were able to reprovision user account fairly quick but there as a mass folder permission lost.
If the user permission was granted via a group, all permission was successfully restored. However, if the permission was granted individually, that permission was lost. Ticket was open with Box support to request for assistance with folder permission restore but they could not help.
So the next best thing was try to run "User Activity" report on "Removed Collaborator" on the service account that was use for Okta and Box, to see which user account and folder was affected. Sadly the report only show just the affected folder name and the affected user. This is an problem, since we ran into the following issues:
- There are multiple folders with the same name. Without the folder path or folder owner, it hard to confirm which folder was the right one.
- If the service account does not have permission to the folder, we can't search for the folder.
- We have no way of knowing if the folder was internal or external.
- We have no folder owner name, so we can't reach out to the folder owner to request for assistance with re-granting the permission.
So our second attempt to reach out to Box support was to request for a report that can provide us with the affected folder path and folder owner, but we were told there is not a way to pull that information.
This really ***** us over, as we have no mean to actively assist user with getting their permission restore. What we need in this case is a undo button to restore all the permission in the past 24 hours. But that asking for too much, so I just like to get a updated report for Removed Collaborator that show the following information:
-Date & Time
-Affected User Name
-Affected User Email
-Affected Folder Name
-Affected Folder Path
-If the affected folder is internal or external to the company
-Details (Permission that was removed)
-Affected Folder Owner
-Affected Folder Owner Email
-Link To The Affected Folder (so I don't have to spend day searching for it)I am sure my company is not the first or the last to run into 3rd part integration issue that could result in mass folder permission lost. Any new method for mass permission restore or new report that can assist in restoring user permission would be greatly appreciated.

File Type request: .log files (text)
A lot of applications output their logs with the extension .log. These are just text files (.txt) with a .log extension. Unfortunately, files with .log extensions can't load in preview. Please allow .log files to load in preview (for desktop and mobile interfaces).

Move "Upload" button away from "New" button
Placement of "Upload" Button next to "New" Button is confusing and causing mis-clicks. Request to move it so that it is not immediately next to "New".
I usually drag and drop for uploads, so not sure the Upload button has much value where it is. Whereas I am regularly using "New" to create folders, bookmarks, files, etc.

Box needs a widget that is not iFrame based so that it complies with eBay's listing policy.
Box needs a widget that is not iFrame based so that it complies with eBay's listing policy.
1 voteIf you would like to develop a web application that uses Box UI components visit https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/
Note that this will not comply with the eBay listing policy either which is quite strict on use of external sources. You’ll simply have to rely on links or some of the ebay specific providers that have developed solutions for this.
