Show Folder Size in 'Size' Column (In Addition to Item Count)
The webapp currently has a 'Size' column that shows item count for Folders, and item size for Files.
REQUEST: For consistency, show both Item Count AND Size for Folders (not just Item Count).

User-Level Option to Default to 'In This Folder' Search
Currently, 'in this folder' searching is an opt-in for each search that a user performs. Some users, however, would like webapp search to mirror the experience we already provide on mobile, aka always defaulting to doing an 'in this folder' search.
REQUEST: Add a user-level setting (within a user's Account Settings) that allows them to opt-in to always defaulting to 'in this folder' searching (meaning the 'in this folder' checkbox in the quicksearch filter will always be checked unless the user manually unchecks it for a specific search).
72 votesDue to other higher priorities, we are not considering this item at this time.

Collaborators Page (Item-Level) - Add Multi-Select for Changing Permissions/Removing Collaborators
Add multi-select to the Item Collaborators page (the Collaborators page at the folder level) to allow for changing permissions, including removing, for multiple collaborators at once.
5 votesThank you for the suggestion! We do not plan to incorporate this change in our roadmap. We will let you know if anything changes.

Always Show Show/Hide Option for Hiding Left Sidebar
The left sidebar in the new Web App auto-hides at smaller window size (due to responsive design), but some users would like the show/hide option for the left sidebar to always be shown (like the button already is for the right sidebar) to allow for increased space for the file list columns (Name, Modified, Size).
REQUEST: Always display the show/hide button for the left sidebar, regardless of the window size.
11 votesWe’re aware that the lack of space to show file and folder names is an issue. We’re working on addressing this in different ways.

Option to restrict folder owner from inviting other users as co-owners
We only want certain Project owners to be able to change folder properties.
0 votesThis is narrowly valuable, and would be confusing to introduce more customization to permission levels. Therefore, this is not planned.
-
Version-Specific Shared Link Option
Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

TAGS: User wants to be able to see a tag in their list of "my tags" if they've only applied the tag to content owned by other people.
If a user applies a tag to a document owned by someone else, the tag will not show up in their list of "my tags." The workaround is to keep a dummy document they own to which they apply all tags their using on other people's content.
7 votesThanks for the suggestion! We don’t currently have this update planned for the Tags feature in Box as we look at other ways to help users organize and structure their content.

While we don’t have any current plans to support this feature, I would recommend the following workaround to use the ‘Description’ field that appears at the top of a folder. You can even add hyperlinks into the description! More information is available here: https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Migrating-and/Adding-Descriptions-to-Folders-and-Files/ta-p/58565

Replace Java Uploads with native folder upload methods
Firefox will be removing NPAPI support by the end of 2016
https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/Java uploads have always been a terrible experience to set up. Java itself contains bugs that prevent our applet from launching correctly.
v1.7.1x
Customers with strict security policies always bump in to SSL issues which are difficult to resolve due to their policy. (java itself has a security store)8 votesThere is no native folder upload method available with Firefox.

Add Mac package support to Box files accessed via the iOS Document Picker
On iOS, we're using UIDocumentPickerViewController along with the UIDocumentPickerModeOpen to save and later edit files 'in place.'
Unfortunately box.com converts document bundles to zip files without further notice on the file extension. This breaks any attempt to open and edit files 'in place' on iOS and on OS X.

Search for multiple files at one time.
Searching for 800 unique files that are in various folders in box.
I am trying to narrow them down and move them to a single folder for organization purposes.
I am currently only able to search for one file at a time but would like to have a way to import a list of names and search that way or at the very least a comma separated search function.
0 votesThank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Localization optional for login and SSO "Continue" page
We are in Denmark, but our official company language is English and we would like to enforce that settings.
0 votesHi there,
thanks for bringing this up!Box login page respects one’s browser preferred language so changing your browser preferred language to English should solve the problem.
As for the SSO “Continue” page, I would recommend you contact your SSO provider and check if there’s a way to always show it in English.
Thank you!

Make folder/file description visible again under the File/Folder name vs new details pane
Description of file/folder has been moved to the details pane on the right side. My customer is seeing this as a regression and not as user friendly as before and would like to see description to come back under folder/file name (like in old UI) as opposed to the Details pane in New UI
17 votesThanks for the suggestion, however, at this time, we do not plan to revert the changes to the description pane.

Disable ability to use a secondary password
We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.
Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

Allow Customization for 'Email to Upload' Email Address
Perhaps if the email address was tied to the actual instance like:
TEST_As.gbtuzmz6o0d088go@company.box.com
Then the Box server would have the ability to segregate all the addresses and we would not have issue of competition for addresses between companies that use Box. Thus be able to allow custom email addresses PER company. (i.e. allow us to modify address).
5 votesThis is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

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.

Send Shared Link via Default Email Desktop Application
In shared link pop-up window, include an option to send the link via the default desktop email client instead of through Box. This would open up a new email in their email client with the shared link in the body of the email.
This experience would be similar to the experience of when you click an email address on a website and the default email app on your computer is opened.
0 votesThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.
