Recent Files Menu Options
I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?
Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

Drag and drop operations between browsers
Microsoft Edge allows you to split the browser screen.
I have separate Box folders on both split screens.
It would be convenient to be able to copy and move files and folders from one screen to another by dragging and dropping them.1 vote -
Ability to be unlocked only with the permission of the person who set the lock
With the current file locking feature, even if a file is locked, it can be unlocked by another user.
In this case, the file that was originally supposed to be updated cannot be updated and is saved as another file.
The result is a lot of conflict files and a lot of work to merge all the information.[The features we want]
When editing a file, the file is completely locked.
If other users want to edit this file, they will ask the user who locked it to unlock it.
It will only be unlocked if the user who put…5 votes -
Invitation of collaborators by list
Currently, Box has a small screen for inviting collaborators, and invitations must be made on a per-privilege basis. So there are some mistakes of invitations by users.
This could be a compliance issue with business partners. So we need new interface that allow users to check the invitation list and register in a batch input.4 votes -

Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling
When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.
I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

I want to bookmark a "file://" location
Box can create bookmarks to web-based content. Some users still have local, server-based files, box should allow creation of bookmarks to travel to these places.
As an example, I can paste "file://server/folder/folder/folder" into a browser address bar and get to a server folder structure.
Since I can do that, I can also bookmark it in the browser... If I can bookmark it with the browser, Box should also be able to use that address to create a bookmark in a folder.
thanks!

I would like to see a button implemented to go back to the original screen from the folder settings and collaborator screen.
When I go to the screen to check folder settings or collaborator in WebUI, there is no button to go back to the original screen
The folder settings screen can be returned to by pressing the cancel button or by using the browser functions, but the collaborator screen can only be returned to by using the browser functions.
I think this is a bad user experience because some users do not know how to go back to the previous screen.
It would be easier to understand if a back button is implemented, so please implement it!1 vote -

Revert to former UX for selecting files/folders (no more check boxes)
In order to select multiple files or folders in the Box Web App you now have to use the checkboxes which are only visible when you hover over the file/folder all the way to the right.
Previously, you could select multiple files and folders by clicking on the file or folder icon on the far left, and didn’t have to bother with checkboxes. The suggestion is to revert to the former UX for selecting files/folders

Accurate File Count - Script Automation or Access
As I've discussed with the BOX support team, BOX web interface does not display an accurate count of files. We upload thousands of files per day and when the count of files displayed by BOX is not accurate, we assume there was a network glitch and attempt to re-upload the thousands of files which results in unnecessary network bandwidth and computational resources.
The BOX support team has access to a script they run to fix errors in the file count. Until the file count is accurately displayed in the web interface, it would be nice if BOX would automatically run…

Show timestamp in "update" column in Box Web/Box for Teams
Dear Box team, it would be very helpful shwoing the timestamp of the last change of a file/folder is shown in Box Web and Box Teams Plugin instead of showing the date only (or a text).

Selective Bulk Trash Restoration
Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.
The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.
Example:

Maintain folder structure when exporting legal hold content
The legal hold export is very difficult to use because only files are downloaded and the folder structure is lost.
Therefore, we would like to be able to download the files while maintaining the folder structure.リーガルホールドのエクスポートはファイルしかダウンロードされずフォルダ構成が分からなくなり非常に使い辛いです。

Save Sorting Preferences
When using Box in-browser, create a setting to change the default sorting preference. For example, so you can make the default sorting for all folders Name, Ascending. This is not currently an option and means every time you open a folder you need to manually resort it, as the default sorting is always set to Updated, Ascending.
30 votesThank you for the feedback. Do you have a file and folder naming convention you follow that will make the sort by name to be more useful than sort by updated date?

Shortcut to open file directly without preview
We would like to have the option to open a file directly without opening the preview first (or right click --> open with).
Maybe this can be done via a shortcut or a default setting in the user preferences?
