Insert/sync metadata from Office DIP (Document Information Profile) to Box
Microsoft Office products have a Document Information Profile (aka the DIP) which allows users to add custom metadata to a file under the "info" section when a file is opened or being edited. WE would like Box to be able to identify this information and insert it into the metadata fields in Box.
0 votesInteresting proposal! We will reconsider this with additional customer demand.

Require Editing ONLY via Office Online for Certain Files (disable Box Edit at the file level)
Use Case: I have a spreadsheet that I know will be highly collaborative; as such, I want to prevent people from being able to use Box Edit with the file and I want to require that they edit it using Office Online due to enhanced co-authoring, etc.
Basically, this would be a 'only allow edits using Office Online'-type setting at the file level.

Prezi - Add Prezi Box Integration to 'Choose Box Files' Directly within Prezi UI
Prezi has done Box case studies and other promotional material (https://prezi.com/ahplrp8j0yka/how-prezi-changed-the-way-box-does-training/)
It would be great to get a native Box integration in the Prezi UI (similar to the InVision integration - http://blog.invisionapp.com/box-partnership-enterprise-product-design/)

More sophisticated Box-Verse integration
The Box-Verse integration as it stands today is simply file picker. Would be nice to see this parallel the capabilities in the Box for Office integration into Outlook.

Ability to Upload an Email in PDF format to Box
Box for Office: Add capability to upload PDF of a selected email to Box as a PDF (with options to also PDFs attachments appended to the email PDF).
Rationale: It is against policy to store MSG files, however, archiving of email content is a high volume activity for many teams. Our company uses an Outlook enabled NuancePDF add-in, but the process of exporting a PDF, then uploading to Box is tedious
5 votesCurrently we’re not looking to store email backups in Box. However, we are investigating the idea of attaching emails to specific documents that would give more context to the document/file.

Mobile - Enable Seamless App-to-App Login Flow for 'Add a Place -> Box' within Office Mobile Apps
Currently, when users have the Box/Box for EMM app and are logged in, when they go to the Office apps (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) and click Add a Place -> Box, they have to ALSO manually log in there.
This could be improved through an 'app-to-app'-style login handoff.
Ideal UX:
1. User is logged into Box / Box for EMM app
2. User either taps 'Open in Excel/PowerPoint/Word' from the Box app OR taps Add a Place -> Box within Office app
3. The Box and Office apps 'talk' to each other and perform a login handoff (like Capture does…0 votesPlease raise this request with MSFT

Enhanced data loss prevention for MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) mobile apps that integrate with Box.
Currently, users who connected their corporate Box account to a MS Office mobile app, can duplicate files to another storage location. It would be ideal if Admins had the ability to prevent users from duplicating a file originally stored on Box, and preventing them from using the Duplicate feature to copy the file to another storage location like Dropbox/OneDrive.
3 votesPlease raise with MSFT AE as this is an integration owned and maintained by MSFT
