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.

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.

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.

Provide separate Mobile security settings in Admin console (or API) for EMM and Public apps.
The ability to provide both EMM and public app but with different security configuration for each. Public is read only and EMM would allow editing. Right now, they either provide editing capabilities via EMM and lock out a majority of users or provide Preview only capabilities with no editing to all users.

Box Capture App needs a back button
Better navigation through the Box Capture app would be great. Since there is no BACK button, there is no way to easily navigate through the application which is a great. Having this option would make it easy to toggle back and forth between sub-folders and help speed up uploading information to their corresponding folders - Henry

When selecting a folder to move/copy items to in the Box for EMM/Box app, please make it possible to select from collections as well.
When moving/copying data in Box using iPhone, we need to point to a specific folder from the top hierarchy, which is time-consuming.
When selecting a folder to move/copy these data to, please make it so that the selection can start from the hierarchy where the data is.
Also, when selecting a folder to move/copy to, please make it possible to select from collections as well.
(We use the Box for EMM/Box application).iPhoneからBox内にあるデータを移動/コピーする場合において、トップの階層から指定のフォルダを指示する必要があり手間がかかります。
これらのデータの移動/コピー先を選択する際は、データのある階層から選択がスタートできるように設定して欲しい。
また、移動/コピー先のフォルダを選択する際に、コレクションからも選択できるようにしてください。
(Box for EMM/Boxアプリを利用しています。)2 votesCollections are a link to a file, rather than the location where the file is saved. In order to accomplish the above ask, please select the file in question and “add” it to the desired collection.

Currently not able to name a document or file prior to upload using document scanning & only renaming after it has been uploaded. Development requested to be able to name the file upon scan.

Box Capture File Name
I want the file names of Box Capture pictures to be "date and time" instead of "date and sequential numbers", just like when shooting with the Box app.
Example:
Box Capture: "2021-01-11_001.jpg"
Box (Take Photo or Video): "Image 2021-01-11 14.00.00.jpg"Currently, the file names conflict and the files become messed up order, especially when several people share a folder and take pictures.
I would appreciate if you could improve it.
Thanks.2 votes -

Better detailed logging for iOS app that's available to customers for troubleshooting.
Would like an advanced logging that can be initiated on the iOS Box for EMM app to help capture why uploads fail. It is surprising that there is no “verbose” logging available for the iOS app.

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).

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.
