Run a report which shows the users last log in date.
Currently, admins can run user statistics report but this does not show an exact date. Admins can run a user activity report, but this will return repeated users log in rather than last login.

Increase number of files shown in "Recents" section when opening files via Box for Office
When opening a files from Word/Excel/PowerPoint via the Box for Office extension, only the last 3 previously accessed files are listed.
We would like to increase the number of files shown in "Recents" section to improve accessibility to frequently used files.

App launcher should use web URL, open in Box App, and encourage user to download Box App if not present.
I can create a link that will open the box app by using what is known as an applink. This technique is sometimes called Deep Linking.
'boxapp://' opens box on iOS or Android.
BUT traditionally this has left developers needing to try to catch and handle what happens when the Box app isn't already installed (which is also people's very first experience of the launcher app). This typically involves time-outs and other such messiness. By default if the app is not present, no helpful message is given. I note at present your html representation of content shows the 'get box…
2 votesThank you for your thorough description!
We support deep linking and universal links on iOS. All regular Box links should with the Box app today as long as their app invokes universal links the right way (ex: redirects ignore universal links).

Break waterfall permissions
Allow for restricted permissions within a shared folder (so permissions are not inherited from the parent folder)
429 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap.

Control when/how Box Drive updates are deployed
End users don't have local admin rights, so IT has to frequently add the new installers to JAMF and SCCM policies

Tighter integration with Box Notes and Outlook
Box Notes should better integrate with Outlook similar to how OneNote does. From an Outlook event on your calendar, users can easily create a OneNote meeting note file, as well as assign tasks and include emails/contacts on the OneNote file as well.

Add a safe guard/warning for items deleted in local Box Sync folder noting they will also be removed from the Web App
Currently dragging items out or deleting them from the Box Sync folder removes them in the cloud. To my knowledge, there is a warning window when deleting collaborated content, but none for personal content. Please add this.

Create templates for the "Personal Message" when inviting collaborators
This will help us standardize how we contact external vendors.

Add ability for users to open a folder in Box Drive from the Web App
Add some kind of "open in Box Drive" option for a folder. Clicking this would cause Box Drive to open the appropriate folder locally.
16 votesThis seems like it would be better solved with a search improvement to Box Drive. If not, let us know in the comments.

Ability to set folder notifications for external and internal collaborators within a folder.
Companies with many external collaborators have to walk each user through changing their folder notification settings so the external collaborator will be notified whenever a document is uploaded to a folder. This is extremely manual for us and their external collaborators. It would be easier if folder owners could set folder notifications for everyone within the folder so external collaborators receive the sames notifications as internal collaborators.

Manage external collaborators en masse.
Some Ricardo users have over 50 external collaborators on a single folder. They cannot find any facility to download a list of current collaborators or a way to change the permissions of multiple users en masse.
