Previews may load more slowly the first time if the file has not been converted yet. Some file types may not be pre-converted. Subsequent viewings should be faster for these files.
Preview loading performance is something we’re always focused on improving, but there are no specific efforts on the roadmap for this right now.

Remove "Mail All collaborators" button for folders with high numbers of collabs
This mail all functionality often fails (and produces strange behaviour such as repeatedly emailing people) when there is a high number of collaborators in the folder
0 votesThere are customer use cases for this button. Therefore, we will keep it. Thank you for the feedback!

Remove 'Get our app to view this on mobile' Text/Link in Emails for EMM-Enabled EIDs OR Allow Link Customization
For customers that use Box for EMM (and have disabled the standard Box apps), the 'get our app to view this on mobile' link/text in the standard Box email notifications (like for @mentions, uploads, etc.) is confusing because users in that EID won't actually be able to log into the standard Box app that it links to.
REQUEST:
1. Either provide the option to remove this text from emails
OR
2. Allow customization of this text to change the link that it points to (so a customer can link to their software/app catalog where users download the Box for EMM…8 votesHey there! Thanks for submitting this feedback, but due to competing priorities, we cannot put this ask on our roadmap at this time.

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
18 votesInteresting suggestion, but we won’t be focusing on this ask for the time being due to competing priorities.

Remove restrict files sharing within Folder Settings
We would like to remove a folder setting option that restricts sharing for files only or folders only
0 votesThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

Make "More Actions" tool usable with multi-select
Currently the More Actions button is not available for "more actions." If a person multi-selects files then chooses "more actions" the action is only applied to the object last selected. To improve ease-of-use, consider making "more actions" apply to multiple files if multi-select is used before an app under "more actions" is launched.
1 voteInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Update Error Message When a User Accesses a Box URL for Content They're Not a Collaborator On
When the recipient clicks on this link (the raw URL not Shared Link) and they're not a collaborator in the same folder, they receive a vague error that doesn't let them know what they did wrong that states "You cannot perform this action"

Use Box with Adobe Acrobat CE Professional and it's "Shared Review" concept
it can be used when all reviewers have a shared UNC (windows network path) to the same file. We would like to use it with third parties + Box
0 votesWe have no plans to support this specific request in the near-term. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Only allow owners & co-owners to share links outside of the collaborator permissions they themselves control
There is currently no ability to allow owners/co-owners of a folder to send open links, when the global enterprise settings are set to restrict sharing: 'People in this Folder'

Enable Web App to display the SHA-1 checksum for an object
We work with multiple large files and would like to be able to view the SHA-1 checksum that is stored in Box from the Web App in order to validate file transfer integrity as necessary.
6 votesThis is a very acute use case that isn’t in line with what we’re currently investing in for Web App. We will re-evaluate with additional customer demand.

Create new folder from Move/Copy Dialogue box
We regularly need to move and copy content to different locations in Box. It would be very helpful to have a "New Folder" option within the move/copy dialogue Box. This would help mirror desktop functionality (and sync, which currently supports this feature).
6 votesThis is a very narrow use case, so it’s not a priority for our roadmap right now.

Error message shown for failed uploads could be more descriptive or specific.
"There was a problem downloading the items. Please try again" is the provided error message for a downloading error.
We would like this message to be more descriptive and potentially include information around which specific files have and haven't been successful so that users able to continue the download as required.
3 votesThanks for the feedback. We understand the use case and potential value in this type of update. While its not on the roadmap at this time, we’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.
It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.
Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.
23 votesThanks for the suggestion. Please continue to post use cases and feedback, to help us prioritize for a future release.

Ability to see additional info from a shared link (file/folder owner, parent folder/location, etc.)
Oftentimes, users get access to a link that is shared with them via email, chat, etc.
If the owner or the file is deleted, moved, or transferred, there isn't an easy way to identify where the file lives and who owns it either from an end user or admin perspective.
Currently, we have to reach out to Box Support to look up the file ID or shared link to get this information.

Allow Folder Description to be created in same step as creating new folder name
When user clicks 'New Folder' they should be able to edit both the Folder name and the folder description in one step from the pop-up window.
0 votesWe removed this functionality because it had low usage and caused confusion for many users. Thank you for your feedback.

Adjust the Get Info button to pull from the properties of a Box Link vs from the HTML Header tag information
This would be much more user friendly (and expected) for the proper data to populate when clicking Get Info if the hyperlink is a shared link.
We are mostly requesting that the folder name as a bookmark populates.
