Visual Indicator on Folders with External Collaborators
Currently, when a folder has external collaborators in it, we show a small globe icon for that collaborator in the Collaborators list (sidebar + full collabs page), but no other visual indicator at the folder level.
Often, users want to quickly know "is this folder shared with anyone external/outside my company?" without having to manually comb through the full list of collaborators.
REQUEST: Add a visual indicator (either folder color, icon, 'tag'/label, etc.) at the folder level (visible from within the folder and possibly from the files list as a badge) to indicate when a folder has external collaborators in…

Auto-Hide Password Field on Login Page ('Smart SSO')
The Box standard (non-custom branded) login page (account.box.com) does not automatically remove the password field if the email entered is in an EID with SSO Required.
This means that users are often presented a password field that they don't even need to fill in, and they often have never even created a Box password, so they end up putting their SSO password into the field, then just have to enter it again when redirected to their SSO / IdP login page.

'Not available' error message when accessing a link needs to be more specific.
Please fix the ambiguous 'Not available' and 'Unable to Download File on Box EMM' error messages when users attempt to click on links sent to them that they don't have access to.
Instead of users being sent shared links, they are being sent URL's for files/folders that only the sender has access to (as designed). They are asking for the error message to be more specific, and to say something like the following:
"The requested page does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it, or this is not a Box Shared Link. Please check the URL…2 votes -

Email Notifications: Customize Subject Line (Shared Link & Collaboration Invitation Emails)
"Users find the "Item shared with you" and "invited to a folder" subject lines too generic and can be ignored".
7 votesThanks for the suggestion! We recently updated the subject line of our primary sharing-related email notifications to make them easier to read and more action-oriented. We hope you enjoy!

Embed - Custom Branding Should Be Respected
Currently, an EID's custom branding settings (colors, logos, help URLs, etc.) are not respected/funneled through to the Embed UI. Essentially, the Embed UI is a totally separate UI currently and customers would prefer that it's just a smaller (responsive) window into the full webapp, respecting all custom branding, etc.
Customers would like Embed to...
1. Respect custom branding coloring
2. Respect the 'help' link that's set in the custom branding tab of the admin console5 votes -

Disabling the "Get Box Sync" setting in end users' Account Settings Menu
When a user signs into their Box account, they have the option to view their account settings toolbar. One of the settings is Get Box Sync, which directs users to the Box website with the Sync installer.
However, for large organizations, end users do not have administrative privileges to install such a tool. In these situations, customers use a deployment tool to assist in pushing (or making available) the tool to end users. By using these tools, end users do not require admin privileges to install the tool.
Having this option in the UI is confusing to end users and…
4 votesIt is possible for the admin to disable the “get sync” message in web app (because we copied that functionality to allow admins to disable “get Mobile” as well). If the admin disables this, then it should meet the request above. We don’t have any plans to allow users themselves to suppress this message from user account settings.
