Ability to attach a metadata template to a note template
We would like a way of creating a note template bound to a metadata template. I’ve followed the instructions to create the template and to attach metadata. However, when creating a note using that custom template, there are no metadata attached by default. I want to avoid having to add the metadata template each time after creating a note.

Need a better way to track locations of Box Notes
Bread crumbs are very useful on BOX documents and folders to explore relevant related documents, but they don’t exist on the page of Box Notes. You see them in the index on the left, but that doesn’t correspond to the Box Note you happen to be on. I have to hunt & search if I want to see other docs in the same folder. It would be great if this functionality could be added into Box Notes.

Fix the copy/paste feature so that random spaces are not removed from the pasted content
When copying from one Box Note to another (and probably from other rich text sources also), numerous spaces are removed from the pasted text. Often times, spaces are removed immediately following hyperlinks, but also from between random words throughout the text, requiring a complete, time-consuming review and cleanup of the new content.

Windows App Custom Disctionary for Spell Check
Using the Box Notes Windows desktop app is awesome. A huge pain point is the spell-check feature because it lacks a custom dictionary feature. In many cases, my notes are riddled with little red spelling error-underlines because the application doesn't allow me to accept and remember frequently used words. Examples include names, places, people, companies, products, etc. The list could go on but I fell I've effectively communicated my concern.

Add justify alignment option to Box Notes
It is possible to align content to the left, right and centre but there is no ability to justify content which is very common for many types of documents.

Customize location of new Box Note upon creation
Users shall be able to create a new box note while navigating through folders and have this note save back to the current location within their account.
User shall be able to create a new note from a template, and have it save back to the folder they are navigating in.
Currently, when notes are created via web app, they are saved back to a "My Box Notes" folder. This is not always useful, especially when using templates. Templates are likely to be reused by users and saved in multiple folders, not in a single Box Notes folder.

Ability to add attachments to Box Notes
As a collaborative editing tool, attaching related materials would be useful in many situations (today, we upload the attachments & link to them, but this presents access limitations & additional steps.)
This is essentially already allowed with the upload ability of image types, but given file level collaboration, having attachments would solve numerous issues our teams are starting to encounter.
3 votesThis is not a current focus area for the Box Notes roadmap. We are happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Notes Desktop App - Add App to Mac & Windows App Stores
We push users toward downloading software from the Mac and Windows App Stores, especially the Mac App Store as that is Apple's officially 'approved' method for downloading software to a computer.
3 votesThanks for the feedback! App store versions of our desktop app are not currently planned on our roadmap. We’ll continue to monitor and may revisit in a future planning cycle based on customer feedback.

Collapsible folder tree/structure for Box Notes for Desktop
As mentioned in other feedback, right now only having "Recent", "Favorites", and "Inbox" as filters makes organizing and looking through notes difficult.
It would be interesting to either 1) integrate the user's folder tree in the Box Notes view or 2) have subfolders within "My Box Notes" show up as the structure.
May be related to PF-02982.

display gif in box notes
Right now a GIF file cannot be pasted directly into a Box Note as a picture. I can paste a link to it, but not the actual picture itself.

Preventing images pasted in Box Notes from becoming individual files
When I paste an image into Box Notes, the image is created as a separate file from the Note and the public range is controlled by a shared link.
If I want to set a publication range other than the default setting, I have to change the publication range on a file-by-file basis.
Therefore, we request the improvement of the functionality by either of the following.
-Store image data in Box Notes as in Box Canvas, so that files are not separated.
-The ability to collectively control the disclosure range of shared links for files stored in folders.■In Japanese：…

Heading 1/2/3 Keyboard Commands for Box Notes for Feature Parity in Google Docs
As a new boxer, I have found it odd to not have certain keyboard commands in Box Notes that I am accustomed to in other similar apps (specifically Google Docs). The one that I would prioritize would be to quickly change heading styles. In Google Docs it is (on a Mac) Command+Option+1/2/3/(0 for "Body") while text is highlighted or at the beginning of a new line.
Hopefully this can be quickly implemented as it would be a welcome addition to heavy users of Box Notes.
