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.

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.
2 votesThank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

If an end user must reset their password (either mandated by admin or enterprise settings), we would like that notification to appear when the user tries to log in on the mobile app
We would also like a notification when the password is going to expire (i.e., your password will expire in 7 days)
2 votesWe will re-evaluate this request based on additional customer 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.

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.

File Versions on Mobile
Client would like to have ability for document versions to be available on Mobile. Specifically, able to review whether a document has more than one version and be able to preview older versions.
2 votesWe will not support this feature because this seems to be an edge case. Most of our customers on mobile are always trying to pull up the most up to date documentation. We can see this causing confusion for our end user when they have to manage versioning on mobile.

Users should be able to set up 2FA on their phones
We invite external users who only have phones. However, we are set up for 2FA. That means these users need to find a computer to login via the webapp to set up 2FA before we can begin collaborating. This is an issue. The mobile interface should allow 2FA to be set up.

Ability to restrict access to specific folders from mobile devices
We need to be able to restrict our users from viewing secure content on their phones. But not all of our content is secure. We would like to provide the convenience to our users of accessing their files via box, but restrict specific, secure, project related files from mobile access.
