Box Notes section on mobile app
Similar to the web version of Box, it would be great to have a button that takes you to all Box Notes. Having this consistency between the web app and the mobile app would help improve the user experience.

File Type request: .log files (text)
A lot of applications output their logs with the extension .log. These are just text files (.txt) with a .log extension. Unfortunately, files with .log extensions can't load in preview. Please allow .log files to load in preview (for desktop and mobile interfaces).
28 votesThanks for the suggestion of this addition. We are not currently planning to add this functionality, but will keep the post updated for future.

Fix iOS Microsoft Office Security - No Pin Required
If you have Box Mobile App installed and a Pin is enforced, your data is protected by pin every time you launch the app. If you install iOS Excel or Word and then sign into the application/authorize, anytime you launch word or Excel you are not prompted to sign in again and there is no passcode enforced on either of those apps. They have full access to all documents in your Box account. Box Device Trust and EMM will not enforce or protect this either and is easily bypassed since this is an Application Integration, you don't even need Box…
4 votesBox cannot enforce pin codes on third-party apps.

Make files preview in mobile without user registration like Dropbox
Make files preview on mobile Box, without user registration. Currently, customers need to download the box app just to view any file I send as shared link. This is not an issue with Dropbox. With the majority of people using their mobile phones this would be a good idea, do you agree?

Add notifications to Box for EMM
In the Box Web browser, I can confirm that the new mention is on the left side menu "notifications" with red ● when new notifications appear. We'd like to have those notifications within Box for EMM too.

Limit large files to desktop viewing only
Really large files should not be shown on mobile device and so we'd like to inhibit people from being able to see it.
Large files 100+ Gig, ‘rushes’ from ad shoots moved in disk, genomics files at academia,… must solve user experience issue with mobile/web – we want to be able to classify that content as desktop only.
5 votesThis is not on the roadmap for 2019, but is a great suggestion that we may look into in the future.

Deep Link Box Capture
I want to deep link the Capture app from anther app or from HTML. This could be used in a flow for field workers.
1 voteCapture workflow features are important — we will look at how we can do this in the future, but specifically deep linking Box Capture is not part of the 2019 roadmap.

Customize mobile usage by group
Actually it is just possible to customize usage of mobile devices for the complete enterprise. But different group may have different needs (e.g. Sales may use mobile applications, while R&D may not use any mobile device at all).

iOS App: When "folder" is marked as offline, files in that folder doesn't get updated / downloaded automatically.
In order to update the file(s), user needs to either:
1) display the offline folder in Offline tab and manually tap "Update" link.
2) Preview the file
3) Close iOS App and relaunch

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.
