Separate Move / Copy buttons
Please consider improving this within Amsterdam
There are a number of use cases that can be supported by separating the Move / Copy button into unique buttons:
1) Folder or file templates: Users with Viewer access (can download) should be able to COPY a file or folder elsewhere. Currently this is not supported -- the user must download, which loses BoxNotes and Bookmarks.
2) Separating "records" from reference material -- If Retention is set on a file, the user may want to copy a version elsewhere that is not subject to Retention
19 votesInteresting suggestion, but we won’t be focusing on this ask for the time being due to competing priorities.

Would like to be able to download multiple files without it creating a zip file
Would also like to be able to choose where the file downloads to instead of the downloads folder and then having to move the file.
2 votesThank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Grid View - Ability to Show/Hide Item Names
By default, Grid View in the New UI shows information below the item preview (such as name, etc.).
REQUEST: Introduce a 'show/hide' option that would allow the user to switch between only showing the thumbnails vs. showing the thumbnails with the additional information (like name, etc.) to provide an enhanced grid view experience when in a folder with many image/video files.

Downloading Empty Folders
We noticed and it's confirmed with Box Support that the Box service treats "empty folders" inconsistently depending on which Box mechanism is used.
Empty folders are not created if we download folders via the Web interface. Empty folders are created via Box Sync. We are finding that this inconsistent behavior is creating confusion for our users and a mistrust in the Box service. Can you rectify the inconsistent behaviour?
15 votesThank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

Invite Collaborators Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Automatically Remove Collaborator on X Date' Field
Right now, auto-expiration for collaborators is only provided as an option from within the Admin Console.
REQUEST: Add a 'automatically remove this/these collaborator(s) on X date' checkbox to the Invite Collabs Pop-Up, with the default being to have it unchecked, of course.
We have API endpoints already to add an expiration to an individual collaboration (https://docs.box.com/v2.0/reference#edit-a-collaboration), meaning admins can do this on our own via API. We would like the same type of option/functionality natively in the webapp UI as well.
3 votesThank you for the detailed explanation! This is not planned for the short-term roadmap. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

This is a non-trivial change to our architecture and user-experience. We will consider this as we review our organizational structure for content within Box.

Clarify in collaborators list which users are active and inactive
Our admin accidentally transferred data from an account to a deactivated account causing collaborators to temporarily lose access.
She pointed out that she could not tell from the list of collaborators which users were deactivated that have something like that would have prevented her from making that mistake.
7 votesThank you for the request! If we hear this from additional users, we will consider this again.

Thank you for the suggestion. While we do understand this feature would be valuable, it is not currently prioritized for this year. We will update this thread if we decide to revisit this request in the future.

Separate shared links for internal and external users.
We want to be able to share links internally and externally. External shared links should only be available for 10 days while internal shared links should not expire.
14 votesInteresting suggestion! However, this is not planned at this time due to competing priorities.

This is a very niche use case that could help customers, but also negatively impact other customers.
I would like to better understand the root problem before adding complexity to the product.

Add Ability to Download And/or Copy from Trash Page
Users are interested in having a functionality added to the Trash where they would be able to either download content directly from the Trash or copy the items they would like to be restored to a new location in their Box account.
This would be most beneficial in the use case when an admin is reviewing a user's profile that is going to be deleted. They would like to be able to review the items in the user's Trash and identify which items may need to be restored and to what location.
4 votesThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Support for Macro-enabled Files
Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.
Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

Ability to change default collaborator level globally
Customer is requesting the ability to change the default collaborator level upon adding a new collaborator. The default level is now Editor, but the customer wants to set the default to Viewer Uploader or something else to protect against provisioning too much access to users.
Additionally, the customer wants to collaborate with many customers (external users) and would like to provision appropriate access to those users (preferably not Editor).

Thanks for the suggestion! We don’t currently plan to increase this limit given the potential performance impact this would have on page load times. We are, however, looking into alternate solutions for pagination.
