Attach files from Box mobile app and not Files app.
Since the introduction of the Files app, it is impossible to access Box from an email except through the Files app.
If you are telling me that, post-Files, it will be impossible to attach a document from Box to an existing email chain, so be it. But that is an impediment to using Box as our mobile document management system.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

Ability to control what file information is visible when viewing file list
Some users have mentioned that it is more important to them to see the entire file name rather than have it truncated and see the timestamp and other details. The ability to choose what is visible on this page might be one way to resolve this.
2 votesThis is an intentional design decision. We will re-evaluate with additional user feedback.

Convert Email Attachment to Box Link when forwarding email
When a file (not in Box) is received by email, the user would like to forward it along as a Box link, rather than a file itself.
It is cumbersome to download the attachment, then upload it to Box, generate a link, and forward the email with the newly generated link.
Ideally, I would like a button in the email app (Outlook or Gmail) that allows me to forward email and convert attachment(s) to shared links.
3 votesThank you for the suggestion! We will monitor this request for additional demand. For now, it is not planned.

User management settings in mobile app
We would like user management access within the mobile iOS app. We would like to be able to reset a password on the fly as well as deactivate someone quickly if we are not near our computer.
1 voteThank you for the suggest! This is not an area in which we will invest.
App usage would be sporadic and would not drive engagement as much as dedicating our resources towards our existing apps.

Force the Box iOS / Box Android / Box EMM applications to re-authenticate more often than every 60 days.
Ideally, we would like for the timeframe to be user definable.
This is an important security requirement for us as we move into supporting non-GFE devices, so please do let us know if you need additional information.
1 voteThe mobile app is built on top of our APIs and therefore adheres to the standard token durations. Applications that are managed through an EMM provider already provide an advanced level of security that reduces overall risk.
As a workaround, through your EMM provider, you could revoke the Box application and force users to reinstall on whatever basis you deem appropriate.
Some providers may also allow you to revoke the managed app config which will force Box for EMM to log the user out.
At some point, however, you would have to push the managed app config back down to the device.
