Box Drive and Microsoft Apps like Photos to be able to "save as" back to Box drive.
Users get a low memory error when attempting to "Save As" back to Box Drive. This is a Box Support known issue. Currently users are saving to the desktop and then moving back into Box Drive.

Be able to sort tag search results by name, not just "relevance" and "updated"
When you search for a tag, your only options to sort the results are by "relevance" and "updated". It would be VERY helpful to be able to sort by name on a tag search.

Box should send a notification when the comment of a task is modified
When a task is assigned, the assignee receives an email notification that a task has been assigned to them to complete. If the task assigner modifies the comment or text for the task, before the task is complete, the assignee is not notified. Many organization who must comply with 17a-4 FINRA compliance will need to capture these communications in Box. If a notification is not sent due to a modified task, the organization may be at risk of being out of compliance. A second notification should be sent for modified tasks.
As a side note, notifications are sent for modified comments (when the user is subscribed to receive comment notifications).

See all current Box downloads in Admin Console
I'd like to see a page in the Admin Console that shows all of the Box download files, like for Box Drive and Box Edit, with their current version numbers.
Please start including the version number in the download files so you can know what version you are downloaded without having to install first.

Default shared link order to ascending order by "Name "
When sharing a link to a folder or file, the default order of the files (or folders) that you are viewing is by updated date. It would make more sense for it to automatically be in alphabetical order when the recipient clicks on the link to open the Box.

Ability to review all external users permission levels
We would like the ability to review all external users permission levels. I was thinking of an interactive way to filter and search. For example: On the Users and Groups section open the list of External Users. It would be nice to see their assigned permissions here. Then be able to filter to show those who have editor rights, or search those who have email domain = sample.com. Then you could interactively edit.

"You removed all applications from your Login Activity List" Email and no Box Documentation
After changing passwords users receive an email stating that "You removed all applications from your Login Activity List, The following [yyy] applications were removed from your Login Activity List:"
It would be very helpful if Box had a KB or documentation that we could share with Users around this email. The email is confusing to users and we receive many service desk requests asking for clarification from this email. Box, can you please create a KB please.

File Request Link versioning
The new File Request feature is pretty awesome. Only thing is, when you upload a file with the same name, instead of creating it as a version in that folder, it uploads a new copy of that document with a long string of numbers at the end of it. Any word on if this will change in the future to support versioning?
7 votesThis is not planned as there are use cases where two different files with the same name being submitted.

Add avility to highlight differences between any 2 versions of BoxNotes.
At this time, highlight is available but it is just once and never appear again.
This idea makes it possible to view differences between the current version and the version one generation ago by showing hilights permanentily . Sure, any 2 versions of BoxNotes are better.

Show list of co-admins
In the admin console > users & groups, it would be helpful if more than three co-admins were listed in the panel on the right side. Currently, even though I have more than 3 co-admins for my Box instance, only three of them show up in the list of Co-admins on the right side.

Limit the number of Box files/folders that can be Marked for Offline use
We would like to limit the Box files/folders that we can Mark for Offline use, like what we currently have when modifying Box drive’s cache limit.

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

Add options to control cache size on Box Drive for mac/windows
In particular, there should be a setting to specify the maximum cache size, or an option to have it be up to a certain percentage of free disk space (eg 30% by default, similar to the iPhone app). There should also be a screen that shows how much disk space the cache is currently using and a button to clear the cache with one click.

scan .bak files
For heaven's sake allow box to scan .bak files - it's practically the only reason I'm using box! What's the point of a cloud back up system that won't back up backup files!!

Group creation next or finished button
When creating groups, I need to click back on groups to create a new group. When just starting with Box I had to create over 50 new groups and it would have made the job easier having a pop-up or a button asking if I want to create an additional group, or am I finished.
