Slow when folder with many files/folders is being displayed in iOS App.

Annotate PDFs within Box iOS app

Ability to change resolution of video upon upload
We record long videos (1 hr+) of processes. We'd like to lower resolution of videos so they take up less space.
1 voteHello,
thank you for sharing this idea with us. This suggestion is an existing feature, to change video size please navigate to 'Settings' -> 'Continuous Capture' -> 'Video Quality' and choose desired option. Hope this is helpful.
Thank you for helping make Box better!
Cheers,
Klaudyna

Supporting MAM Policies via InTune
With Intune MAM-WE turned on and enabled, Box is treated as a personal location thus content opened from Box > Word can then be saved to other personal accounts on the device. Under that scenario a save-as operation from Word to say a personal Box account creates an exfiltration path that may not logged from our side other than the initial interaction.
9 votesWe currently support Intune MAM policies in Box for EMM. Box for EMM requires an MDM to deploy it. For this reason, I’ll say we already support Intune MAM policies.

Capture in the native Box App
We would like to put together a mobile adoption plan but think it would easier for users to adopt mobile if Capture was not a secondary app, rather in the native app.
7 votesUsers of the main Box apps on iOS and Android can now capture photos/videos, scan documents, and record audio directly from the main application.

This will be part of 4.2.4. However this support will only be when viewing from mobile. A separate enhancement should be filled for preview.As a workaround, users can disable the file format from their devices.

Allow preview of either the latest 99 comments on a file or all comments
If a file has more than 100 comments on it, there are 2 issues at play:
1) the mobile app only displays 100 of the 100+ comments
2) of the 100 comments the mobile app does display, it shows the oldest 100 commentsIdeally the mobile app could display all existing comments (aka more than 100 comments). If this is not possible or too intensive a project, instead of displaying the oldest 100 comments it should instead at least display the latest/most recent 100 comments

Request for Box to allow use of Safari View Controller
In iOS 9, Apple released the SafariServices framework with the new "Safari View Controller". This is a way for iOS apps to embed a full-fledged browser, instead of web views.
Benefits of using Safari View Controller:
- Supports certificate based-app natively (system component with access to certs outside the app sandbox).
- Supports secure connections (trusted host verification, etc) natively.
- Supports all web technology on SSO pages natively (full web browser).1 vote -

Add File/Folder Descriptions to the Mobile UI
Right now, descriptions added to Files or Folders (via the webapp, for example) are not exposed in the Box mobile apps.
This request is to show Descriptions in the mobile (iOS) app just as they are shown in the Web App for cross-platform consistency.

As of Sept 2016, descriptions added to Files or Folders (via the webapp, for example) are not exposed in the Box mobile apps.
This request is to show Descriptions in the mobile (Android) app just like we show them in the webapp for cross-platform consistency.

Android: Support Certificate Checks in the Login Flow
We would like to enforce certificate checks during the login flow, especially since we have 'managed devices only' policies in place for accessing Box on mobile and web.
We enable certificate checks at the IdP level so that during the SSO flow a certificate check is performed.
Currently, the Box for EMM (Android) app does NOT support device certificate checks during the login flow.
REQUEST: Implement Chrome Custom Tabs (or other technical components) to allow the Box for EMM (Android) app to perform a device certificate check during the login flow.

Box for EMM email signature includes link to regular box application download page
Box for EMM application includes an email signature "Sent from the Box app. Install the app here." The linked signature hyperlinks to https://www.box.com/box-for-devices/ which does not include access to the EMM application.
Interestingly, links generated from the regular mobile app (non emm) do not include the same signature. The user experience is inconsistent when receiving links from the EMM app and the regular mobile app.
1 voteThis is a bug which we’re fixing in the next EMM release.
