Create collections based on metadata.
Add the ability for users to be able to create collections based on metadata. This should speed up the process of adding files to collections and staying organized. It would be additionally helpful to be able to use multiple tags within a collect. For instance, If I wanted to add all contracts that are from 2012 then I might use two tags: "Contracts" and "2012".

Data report (export) from Lite or Individual accounts
Provide users who have an individual (Lite) account with the ability to export a report on data stored and data collaboration - as per a business account.
This would be beneficial for data auditing.1 vote -
Attribute dropdown list for performing Metadata searches in Box
We need a way to search for assets with metadata WITHOUT having to manually enter in the values into the Advanced Search tool.
Without this important feature, users are forced to have to know beforehand or remember the values associated with each metadata atttribute.
If someone had no idea which values to input into the search tool to search for assets, then how would they perform a search?2 votes -
We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.
We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.
By setting the metadata that means the confidential level to the folder and assigning the metadata in cascade, we can track the subsequent access status of the objects placed under the target folder.
By tracking the activity of files with specific metadata (such as sensitivity level), we can detect data usage and security issues.
By using such a method, we can detect security problems that could not be detected in the past, such as image data that is difficult to detect with DLP.10 votes -
We would like the ability to put a specific Matadata as our home page.
We would like the ability to select certain Matadata as our home page. This would allow for us to really customize our home page to our specific needs and the ability to adjust it easily, vs using the favorites.

Universally apply multiple templates to a file
Universal metadata fields:
Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
A metadata template can be applied, but within…7 votes -

Allow External Collaborators to Search Shared Content for Metadata
If an enterprise shares a folder to outside collaborators, and the content of this folder includes thousands of documents with assigned metadata templates, the external collaborator does not have the ability to filter search that shared content based on the metadata applied.

Provide enterprise configuration of folder metadata cascade
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would allow viewing/editing/adding folder level metadata without also enabling the ability to cascade metadata.
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would limit the ability to initiate cascading metadata to owners and co-owners.

Metadata table(row: files, column: metadata keys)
We are looking for a table type of view of files(row) and metadata keys(column), that allows us to be able to configure their own views of data in Box.
It allows us to...
- configure the view with applying metadata templates(can select the keys to show)
- filter and sort the view
- update metadata directly from this view
- export the view of data to a csv fileThis sort of solution helps users to reduce the time spent for searching the content and updating the metadata values(and it would be competitive with SharePoint library view).

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.

Update folder metadata
I am not able to get complete documentation on Updating folder metadata action for the Box API. Based on the examples I see online, there seems to be body parameter information missing from the box.dev site, and the documentation on the developer.box.com API Reference site is mostly blank.

Improve consistency of UX between Folder & File metadata in web app
Right now (July 2019) in the FLMD public beta, the UX for Folder level metadata is very inconsistent (and arguably more cumbersome) than File level metadata.
For Folder level metadata, the metadata modal only displays after clicking "Edit", which is unintuitive since most users will just be viewing and not editing the Folder metadata.

Don't have incidence on rights in a tree when rights are updated in sub-folders
When You put rights on a root folder, if You need to change the rights for an user in sub-folder, the impact is on the whole tree and this is not really cool... The best way is to keep the rights functionality but to forget the incidence when You change rights on sub-folders.
It's very important !2 votes -

Enhance Metadata dropdown widget
With the version of BOX - if you add a metadata dropdown - the user interface is fairly limited. For example if the dropdown has more than about 25 items - you not only cannot see additional items; you cannot even search for them.
Ideally where would be a scrollbar on the dropdown or the ability to search for options contained within the dropdown.
