Ability to type Shared Link URL directly in iOS or iOS EMM App.
When user has URL for shared link, they need to type it in email or browser, even Box App is there. Thus, would request to have ability in iOS (or Mobile) Apps to allow URLs to be typed directly in Box App.

Navigation bar at the bottom of iPad App is annoying.
I have accidentally tapped "All Files" icon when we wanted to see "Favorites."
The ask is for the ability to configure navigation bar to be hidden (hide by default).

m.box.com should use the same timestamp as the webapp.
Currently, m.box.com uses content_updated and webapp uses updated as the timestamp in list view. To avoid confusion, customer want us to use the same timestamp.

Add ability to specify Home Page, just like WebApp.
Users want to have ability to specify the default page iOS App would show when App is launched.
Ideally, it would be ideal, if there's an option to choose whether to act the same way as user configures on WebApp. (i.e. if Favorites is chosen in WebApp, it'll show Favorites on iOS App too.)1 voteThis is a very interesting idea, however we have no current plans to allow users to specify the home screen on the mobile apps.

See a file's full folder path when it appears in the search results
Currently if you search for a folder in the app, it only shows its immediate parent folder in the results. It should show the full file path.
4 votesOn mobile, the real estate is much smaller than web. Our goal is simplicity, and this doesn’t align with that. Most of our cases are trying to find the most important tasks/updates or recent files

Allow XML on mobile to open in the Settings app
When a .mobileconfig file is opened from a shared link on mobile and the Box app is NOT installed, the file opens on m.box.com and can be downloaded from Safari. When the app is installed, the file's raw text is displayed. There's no way to download the profile when sent as a shared link, and the app is installed

Ability to preview a locked file (locked by an outside program, i.e. Excel) in the iOS app
Currently, opening a locked file in the webapp will give you the option to download, at which point Excel asks for a password.
The iOS app does not show an error message that the file is locked by another program, and users cannot open or preview the file.

App launcher should use web URL, open in Box App, and encourage user to download Box App if not present.
I can create a link that will open the box app by using what is known as an applink. This technique is sometimes called Deep Linking.
'boxapp://' opens box on iOS or Android.
BUT traditionally this has left developers needing to try to catch and handle what happens when the Box app isn't already installed (which is also people's very first experience of the launcher app). This typically involves time-outs and other such messiness. By default if the app is not present, no helpful message is given. I note at present your html representation of content shows the 'get box…
2 votesThank you for your thorough description!
We support deep linking and universal links on iOS. All regular Box links should with the Box app today as long as their app invokes universal links the right way (ex: redirects ignore universal links).

Time/date watermark on the actual photo would help for verification of pictures when they are actually taken in case someone modifies the file.
