Add column for Modified date, and allow sorting on it.
It would be really handy to be able to add a column for and sort based on "Modified date" field. Currently the "Updated" column is not useful if you are doing content migrations from outside sources. While the files maintain the "modified date", they get an "Updated date" of the day it was migrated.
We are considering migrating our existing LAN contents to Box. Our users frequently need to sort on last modified date. We are uploading all data to Box and retaining the original date stamps where possible. Sorting is key.

Upload embedded metadata for search
We would like to have the ability to have metadata search work for files that are uploaded to Box, if the metadata was already embedded on the file before the upload

I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails.
I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails. I used to receive emails but I don't anymore. Why did that change??

Enable passphrases instead of only complex passwords
We enabled the Box strong password policy for 3rd parties; however, it does not permit passphrases. In the CASB pilot, when I accepted an invite to collaborate on my personal Box account, Diageo Box required me to change my 15 character passphrase to a complex password. That will be a problem for any 3rd parties using passphrases. Therefore we should turn that policy OFF.
1 voteIf we understand that users may prefer passphrases instead of password this is not something that we plan to deliver in the near future.

Ability to automatically set auto-deletion of subfolders under a given folder.
Currently, we can manually set auto-deletion of a folder via folder settings. We want auto-deletion be set automatically for all newly created folders and files that are under a given folder (in a similar way as how folder-based retention policy auto-delete file versions under the folder.). Unlike retention policy which only admins can configure via admin console, we want this feature to be configurable by end users.

Add notes at timestamps of audio and video
Enable users to add timestamp notes (annotations, comments) on files with audio or video. For example: the ability to add a note at a certain point in time in the video, especially for feedback purposes.

I like automation; I would like to be able to pull data from different Google Sheets that are all located in my Box.
In Google Drive, all the documents can be referenced to each other. For instance, I can pull data from one Google Sheet to another separate Google Sheet (using the IMPORTRANGE function). This function no longer works as it now says "spreadsheet cannot be found."

Request Compliance Reports from Admin Console
It would be great if customers could request SOC reports (and possibly other Compliance reports) directly from the Admin Console. This way requests go to the right people right away, expediting the report return rate!
33 votesAs we work to build out a more robust compliance framework, this is absolutely something we’ll be considering. However, it is not on the near-term roadmap.

Metadata search activity report and tagging notifications
Is there a way to report out on metadata search activities? We'd like to get analytics on our team activities with metadata searches and the frequencies. We'd also like to set-up email notifications notifying admin users when a file has been tagged.

Better visibility for file metadata
We would like for metadata to be more visible next to the file on the preview screen instead of having to go to the metadata section and clicking on view.
If metadata could be more easily accessible on the file, as well as when you copy/move the file within Box, it would be helpful if it went with the file too.

Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)
We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.

Auto Delegation of task
Allow user to set OOO (Out of office) and pick someone to auto delegate the task during his/her absence. This should delegate only tasks assigned directly to the user or if every member of a group is assigned a task. If the task is assigned to a group and marked as "Only 1 member from group to finish", then auto delegation should not happen.

Manage default Box Drive install folder in Admin Console
To configure the Box Drive folder location, registry keys need to be pushed to all workstations. The customer would like it if there was a setting in the Box Admin Console where you could set the new folder paths for Windows and Mac, and then when a user logs into Box Drive, it would automatically update the registry. This would save admins from having to worry about new users or anyone they might miss with a manual push.

Report on installed Box Drive versions by user
Need a report admins can run that will show all users who have ever used Drive and what the last version of Drive they last used was. Ideally there is a Device ID or Device Name as well.
Use Case - Often admins do not have a device management system which would be used to run this report. Without that system in place OR without all devices being managed under it, admins have no visibility into what software is installed on their unmanaged users machines. Box won't be able to tell them all users who have it installed (if it…

Ability to have guest accounts
We'd like to have guest Box account for external vendors. Vendors are not allowed to create free Box accounts by their policy. In order to collaborate with external vendors, we'd like to have guest Box account for our vendors.

remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and sending specific instructions on folder use
remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and we need to sending specific instructions on folder use and access. this is best when included with the link to the folder as sent by box. ALSO there is nowhere on the site or in the share section that even states there is now a character limit, instead it's just kicking back the invite and preventing it from being sent.
