Ability to save file without putting filename extension in the filename field
In the save-as window, there is "Save as type" pull-down menu on "Save to Box" window, where you can select xlsx, csv, etc (for excel). However, Box for Office sometimes returns error if you don't input extension on the filename field. Shouldn't Box for Office be able to determine file format from the pull down menu?
