"Save files to device" settings to separate for Box Capture
Currently, "Save files to device" settings on Enterprise settings affect both Box Mobile App and Box Capture. However, we want to do the settings separately.
1 voteThis is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

Better rendering of Excel files in EMM
Word and PowerPoint are basically rendered as PDFs or PostScript files (rather than using iOS built-in quick rendering engine, which does not display formatting and charts well).
Excel files are still rendered using the iOS engine, which often leaves out crucial charts and doesn't reproduce frozen panes, which are needed to show large Excel files in a more manageable format.

EMM Multi-Window Support for iPad
I need to be able to open multiple documents and easily switch between them with tabs (like iOS Safari perhaps) and I often need to display two documents side by side or have two views of the same document.
1 voteDuring our investigation we determined that this flow was not a highly desired capability for how users currently want to work in Box. It would also require a shift in how our application was build.

A Way to See Containing Folder From Search Results
We are searching for a file and there is no easy way to see the folders in which the resulting files are contained.
5 votesWe are not currently planning to implement this feature within search. Containing folder information will continue to be available through file previews and in the browse view.

Grey out "Require passcode" option when Enterprise requires a passcode.
It may make for a better UX if, when the Enterprise requires a passcode for the mobile app, the option was greyed out and unable to be toggled.
As it stands, when you turn it off, it prompts you to create a passcode and then turns back on.
0 votesThank you for the feedback! This change is a low priority when compared to some of our other asks.

Device pinning should count number of device by IMEI: International Mobile Equipment Identity.
Currently Box count number of device by Device ID provided by Apple. Device ID is unique. If user re-installed App, Box count is up even in spite of same device.
0 votesApple does not currently give access to IMEI within code (they used to). Currently we get a vendor ID as specified by Apple, which may or may not change (depending on iOS version).

Admin Control for "Upload Size" in Box Capture App
Our company uses Box Capture to record movies of accident scenes or maintenance areas. The upload size can only be set on per device basis. Our admins want to be able to force a consistent setting for all of our users in order to optimize the replay of movies in the field (i.e.. If some users are uploading movies at the largest size setting, these can take a long time to start playing when other users try to stream these files on other devices.)
Waiting a long time for large files to play can be very time consuming, especially if…

We have an IdP security policy in place where e only allow connections from Specific user-agent headers. Box Capture does not have a unique specific user-agent header

Account-switching in Box for EMM or Android for Work
The ability to enable or disable account switching in Box for EMM of Android for Work

Integrate iOS 9 PDF Markup feature with Box iOS app and/or Capture app
There is an iOS 9 feature, Markup, which is currently not available from within Box app. This iOS 9 feature would allow any user to open a PDF from the Box app and provide the ability to annotate, markup, and sign.
2 votesWe will consider supporting Box annotations as those will remain with the document across all Box services.

Prevent personal email clients from being opened in Box for EMM via 'Email Link' option
The 'Email Link' functionality in Box for EMM, used when emailing a shared link, directly prompts the user for email clients recognized on the device (e.g. default email client and Gmail). We would like to be able to restrict Box for EMM from presenting the option of the personal email client.
Or, as a fallback, restrict the 'Email Link' option entirely, as it serves as a security loophole for our team.
0 votesThere is no method for the Box mobile app to distinguish between a personal and business email address.
Even if we were able to remove the email functionality, which many customers use, end users would still be able to copy the shared link and paste it within their desired email client.
The shared link itself should be where proper security is enforced. These restrictions can be managed through the Admin Console.

Enable pinch-in/pinch-out on mobile browser previews
We share files as open-links to our users and external collaborators who do not have a Box account. They view documents on mobile.
0 votesThis is an important feature, but is not on the 2019 roadmap.

Allow third party mobile apps to "Use EMM" for login instead of direct Box API
Instead of having users log into Box from other third party apps, have them use the auth from Box EMM. This allows Box to whitelist EMM for logins. Box should know for all integrations that the login from the 3rd party app is from a trusted device (since EMM is on it)
1 voteWe’ve explored this idea, but it does not appear technically feasible at this time. We are happy to revisit with additional demand.

Mobile Preview log
Currently, mobile app's Preview action of some type of documents is logged as "download." It doesn't show actual actions, so it should be logged as "Preview."
2 votesOn Mobile, we use the download API call within the content SDK to grab the file for Preview purposes, which is why it is recorded as a download.
