Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.
We would like to be able to custom color code their folders.
20 votesWe will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

Personal folders created by a service account appear yellow instead of blue
When content creation is restricted and personal folders are created on a users behalf, it would make more sense for the end user to see those folders as yellow instead of blue to indicate that they aren't shared

Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)
Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.
No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)
8 votesWe don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

Adding cc of invitation sender to Folder Invitation Emails
Request: Add the folder invitation sender as a cc to all folder invitation emails
Rationale: Primary need to ensure recipient is aware of the sending email which generally denotes the company. Right now, it only has the sender's first and last name which is highly arbitrary in many scenarios in inviting external users.
0 votesGood suggestion! This doesn’t rank high enough on our list of priorities for Web App, but we will re-evaluate with additional demand.

Auto-redirect to Box account after logging in once and typing in Box.com in the address bar
One of our users does not like the fact that Box auto re-directs to his Box account after logging in to his browser once, then opening up a new tab and typing in Box.com.
Example:
- Login to Corporate account
- Open new tab/window and type http://www.box.com and hit enter
- Page loads to corporate Box account and does not allow me to go to box.com public website
It could be addressed by an intermediary page that offers both options, or it could be addressed by identifying that the user is logged in, still navigating to the path requested (e.g. Box.com) and then…
1 voteThis is a rare use case where a logged in Box user wants to see the public website.
Given the relatively minor affected population, we will not introduce friction for our product to solve for this use case.

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.

Collaborators Page (Item-Level) -- Add Ability to Sort by Column Headers / Filter by External Collab
The Collaborators page (at the file/folder level) currently does not allow any sorting capabilities. Add a simple ability to click the column headers to change the sort order to things like "added most recently at top" or "reverse alphabetical order by name".
Additionally, adding an "external?' filter to only show external collaborators in the folder would be awesome.
58 votesDue to other higher priority items, we are not planning on this at this time.

Invite Collabs Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Send notification?' Checkbox
Currently in Box, when a user uses the Invite Collaborators pop-up to invite someone to a folder, an invitation email is always generated for the recipient. This is good in some scenarios, but creates a lot of email noise in many other situations where the inviter really doesn't want the recipient to receive an email notification.
Google Drive provides a 'Notify user?' checkbox on their 'invite' pop-up that allows you to 'silently' add the recipient to a folder without sending them an email notification.
Request: Add 'notify users?' checkbox to the invite collabs pop-up
0 votesThis is not currently planned for development. We will consider this with additional customer demand.

There are several workarounds to achieve this in the current product, so we will not prioritize this feature in our roadmap.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately, at this moment we don’t have the technical bandwidth to support Arabic and other right-to-left languages.

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.
