Route files to a specific user via the embed widget
We would like to be able to pick what user content goes to with one widget.
2 votesI think this would be better addressed with platform elements. This way, you can build out the exact functionality you seek.

FTPS access for collaborators to a subfolder rather than through root level credentials
Use Case: Research studies using radiology images that come in large image sets from tools like MRI scanners which can have hundreds to thousands of images which make it impossible or impractical to use the web interface.
However, they are still external collaborators who should have the ability to send files.

Users with View Uploader permissions should have the ability to edit folders they create
In this case, the viewer uploader is the owner of the sub folder they have created, but they cannot do anything to it once it is created.
Can it be filed to be reviewed or modified? If a person can create a folder, surely they can rename it, move files into it. If Box does not want the viewer uploader to be able to rename a folder or move items into it, do not allow viewer uploader the ability to create a sub folder.
2 votesAgreed that it is somewhat strange a viewer uploader can create a subfolder. I believe this was put in place, because creating a folder is somewhat like taking the upload action.
Sometimes, when many files are uploaded, it is cleaner to upload them all in one place, and so that is why the Viewer Uploader is granted this permission.
One particular odd consequence, is this person can now create a folder but not rename it (let’s say they made a typo).
This is not oft-requested and impacts a small minority of users. We can look at fixing this in the future with additional customer demand.

Audio watermarking
Either by a fingerprint, something one can't hear, but can be decoded. Or by inserting some spoken words (custom mp3) every 20-30 seconds.

Allow for one-off permissions changes to individuals in a group.
When inviting a group to a folder, we would like to have the ability to give a different permission to just a specific member within the group. Currently if a group is invited to a folder, all members will get the same permissions. Te only workaround is invite the indiv user separately. However, this is not an officially supported functionality of Box.

Decouple the requirement for a SINGLE UNIQUE email address as a primary dependency for accessing the Box service.
Practical example: Slack allows the same email to appear in their system multiples times, accessing separate Enterprise/Team sites. See login here, which prompts for the unique URL for login.

Add native file support for .sas file type
please add support for .sas file types. SAS files cannot be previewed, cannot be content searched, and they do not show in the Search results at all due to being an unsupported file type. We have thousands of .sas files stored in Box; being able to locate them via the Box Search tool would remove a pain point for many of our staff.

InTune MAM integration with Box issue
When Mobile Application Management is enabled for Intune, if the default email address does not match the Intune email, then authentication fails, breaking authentication for all users.
It seems a failover to the secondary email (which matches Intune) should be a given, and in my experience in product support should be quite easy to implement.
Please add failover to the secondary email ID in authentication for MAM/Intune.1 vote -
Minimal Downscoped Access Token: Profile Only
Could you add the minimum required permission to the downscope feature that allows access to the user's own profile only?
https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/
ex) profile_readonlyIf third-party services can use a token with the least privilege to verify the user's login and EID,
it will help in building a more secure service.1 vote -

API) Add 'enterprise.id' to the collaboration user object.
When retrieving the list of collaborators, we want to know whether each collaborator is an internal or external user, like in Box Web.
The collaborators object does not include information to determine whether a collaborator is internal or external user. As a result, we have to call the Users endpoint, which increases processing time.
API Call:
GET https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/:collaboration_idWe would appreciate it if the EID could be included in the collaboration response to improve efficiency.

alert to administrators and users who move files before 1TB/month/person.
If we move 1TB/person/month to Box or out of Box, we will not be able to use all of Box without issuing any alerts in advance, but we would like you to send an alert to administrators and users in advance so that we can prevent them from exceeding it.

File Open Integrations
When opening a file using Excel Online, it opens in a new tab in the browser. This new tab has no Forward or Back sites available which allows for easy navigation of the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.
However, when you do the same thing for a Google Sheet, it opens in the same tab as the Box folders. That means the site has Back options. This makes it incredibly difficult to navigate the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.
Can we have some consistency with the file integrations?

Add additional_info data to all events to include service_id
Currently, many events do not include the additionalinfo fields, in particular the serviceid field. This makes it difficult for organizations with many applications to track which of these applications are making the calls.
Here are the events missing this information:
- RENAME
- UPLOAD
- ITEM_CREATE
- ITEM_UPLOAD
- ITEM_MOVE
- ITEM_TRASH
- ITEM_RENAME
- COLLABORATION_ACCEPT
- COLLABORATION_EXPIRATION
- COLLABORATION_INVITE
- COLLABORATION_REMOVE
- METADATAINSTANCECREATE
- METADATAINSTANCEUPDATE

Enable File Upload Notifications Programmatically
Ability to turn on File Upload Notifications when programmatically creating a File Request. https://developer.box.com/reference/resources/file-request/

FTP - Root Level Access
When connecting to Box via FTP you are logged into a session that is specific to your user account even if you are the Box administrator. In standard FTP server administration practice you can set which directory a user is dumped into upon login. There should be an administrator level setting that can be enabled to choose at which level the Admin account gets logged into, in this case the FTP root.
Currently when logging into Box FTP via Admin account you are defaulted to \FTP.box.com\Users\Admin and do not have permissions to jump up a directory to \FTP.box.com\Users
You should…

Add a new security level of "Restrict"
I understand the current security levels may once have reflected some technical details e.g. the permissions that might be assigned in a particular file system. However, this could be enhanced by a new security level ("Forbidden", "Excluded", "Restrict" or whatever makes sense) that is applied by exception.
A simple example:
Folder "News" has All Company as viewers.
Group "Contractors" are invited as "Restrict" access.
Whenever any user seeks access e.g. viewing the contents of the folder that contains folder "News", they will of course inherit the permissions from the parent, but before being allowed to see "News" Box first checks…
