Add Support for Surrogate Pair Characters (e.g. Emojis, Supplementary Kanji)
Currently, Box has limitations in handling surrogate pair characters (such as certain emojis or supplementary Kanji) in file names and metadata.
Other major services like Microsoft 365 already support these characters, and we would like to request similar support in Box.
Enabling surrogate character support would significantly improve internationalization and user experience for customers working with multilingual or symbol-rich content.17 votes -

This suggestion is not under consideration for the current roadmap.

Including the original path to a file that was deleted.
It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

Allow for creation of custom permission levels (roles).
We want to share files to an external collaborator, but want to restrict the download and allow editing.
Request: Add new custom roles and assign them preview, link, edit, and they would have to use our Office 365 to modify within Box?

zip file decompression function
Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.14 votes -
Allow co-owners (not just owners) to extend auto-expiration date for external collaborators.
The primary reason why we have not enabled the auto-expiration for Collaborators is because only folder Owners will receive notifications of expiring collaborators and links, and only Owners will have the ability to extend the expiration date. In our instance, the Primary BoxAdmin account owns all content (and users are not allowed to create root-level folders, they're only co-owners).
If this ability were extended to Co-Owners, then this enterprise setting would be feasible for us. It has to be up to the co-owners to receive the notifications and determine whether or not to extend the sharing (since they have the…

Folder transfer takes too long - user loses access
Currently when content is transferred from one owner to another owner, collaborators lose access to the transferred content until the move is complete. Depending on the size of the move it can be an extended period until collaborators can access the content
13 votesWe are actively evaluating the feasibility of this.

Option to Show Full Folder Hierarchy when Added Only to Subfolder
Right now, when collaborators are added to a folder, they are not able to see the folder hierarchy that is above the level at which they were added. This is great in many situations.
However, there are various scenarios where customers would like users to have the 'full view' of the folder hierarchy above.

Add Relay Trigger action for Folder Metadata
Currently you can trigger on the metadata values for a file. Can we add the same trigger for a metadata change on a folder?
Situation: Parent folder metadata change should cause an action that affects all children. i.e. move the folder and all children to another location.

Email Upload Limit
The current upload limit for the email listener in Box is 50MB. There should be options to increase.

Shared Links - Allow Linking to Specific Page of Document
Example: SlideShare allows you to create a shared link that opens the slides up directly into a specific slide. In this case, slide 10: http://www.slideshare.net/kaz.goto/ss-65352833/10
Box Use Case: I want to give you a link to a multi-slide/document file, but I want you to start on page 5 first.

Request to add Chunk Downloads, download resume feature
When a large file fails to download, users will have to start the download from the beginning all over again. We would like a retry/resume feature.
10 votesGood morning, Box supports 'HTTP Range Headers' for downloads that allow Browsers or any compatible client to request ranges of the data instead of the full file at once. This allows browsers to pause and resume downloads from Box. More details about HTTP Range Headers here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/R.

Add "additional_details" to events endpoint for MOVE, COPY, RENAME events
Presently, security & events reports run from the admin console include "change details" for these events - essentially, what the prior state was before the event occurred. The events endpoint does not include these details.
Request to add this to the additional_details of an event as it's reported through the admin events stream for the MOVE, COPY, and RENAME events.
If RENAME, show previous name of the folder
If MOVE/COPY, show previous parent of the folder10 votes -
Custom Subdomain on Upload API Endpoint
When a Box instance is setup to use a custom subdomain, the upload API endpoint should use the subdomain. For example, acme.upload.app.box.com instead of upload.app.box.com. This will make it easy to setup corporate firewall rules that prevent users from uploading content into personal Box accounts

The ability to perform advanced searches despite having KeySafe enabled.
They are open to, similar to the KeySafe concept, having a way to plug Box search into their own index.

separate owned file/folders view from all files/folders view
We need the ability when viewing a users list of files and folders to show only content owned by user. Right now files that have any collaboration at all do not show differently if owned by user or not. Ideally, we could toggle a view filter to show only files/folders owned by user if needed.

preview print
Allow the permission to just "view" & "print" files.
(However, you manage to do this)...Maybe it's as simple as having a tick button for a Previewer to also allow printing
...Currently, a Previewer can view and not print,
...a Previewer/Uploader can currently Preview and Upload (Print is meant to work here but is currently not an option despite permission tables saying it should)
...a Viewer can currently Preview, Print and Download.

Enable version history disabling at the folder level
Our business requires the ability to disable version history for some clients who require that no past versions of files exist. We need the ability to disable versioning for part of the business, while retaining it for other parts. We can't be alone in this...
