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.
8 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.

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.

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.

Adding an "Are you sure?" message when scrolling to a new page in Mark Up mode on a Mobile Device
When enabling Mark-Ups/Comments on a Mobile Device:
Whilst annotating on Page #1, the Web App let's you scroll to Page #2 and beyond BUT doesn't give you a warning that your annotations and comments on the previous pages will be deleted (unless you have clicked Save/Post). A message to make users aware of this, before scrolling to the next page, would be extremely helpful OR allowing for multipage mark-ups7 votes -
Password Protect Folders and Files
I'd love the option to Password-protect folders and files as this is something that Dropbox currently does.
When you password-protect files through Dropbox, you guarantee that only the people you want to access your files can get to them.
Before anyone can view or download a document, they need to enter the password you set to protect the document.

Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling
When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.
I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

Option to enforce Box account login on public shared link
Provide an option to require a user to login to a Box account in order to access a public shared link. This becomes useful when you want to record a specific access audit trail but do not have a specific person in mind and therefore cannot invite them as a collaborator

Enhancement to the UI when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want to improve the behavior when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want you to display up to the latest ○ items instead of displaying the contents at all.
If it is difficult to realize this request, please display the screen of the reason why it is not displayed and the workaround screen instead of the error screen of "The specified page does not exist" to reduce the business impact.If it disappears suddenly, you will not be able to restore or confirm…

Inactive Status - Should have visual indicator that shows the account is inactive when user is still a collaborator on folder/file
When I change a user to inactive in the admin console, The user is still a collaborator on a folder or file. There is no way for the active folder collaborators to know if people are active or inactive. The inactive user should either appear greyed out in the list of users or have an red x or something to indicate this user is no longer active. You would become aware if you try to send a comment or at mention to the inactive user it will not pop up but that still doesnt emphasis that person is no longer…

Ability to print PDF documents without downloading
In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).
As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.
The current user path for printing a PDF is:
1. Open a PDF in box webapp
2. download it to…7 votes -
Ability to restore/delete files only by Box tenant administrators
【Background】
Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the company's policy will be changed.
The policy will be to erase unnecessary data after a specific period of time.
This policy change will also cover data residing in personal Bin.Currently, as a specification of Box, if an item in the Bin is maliciously "deleted from the Bin" or if data is automatically deleted from the Bin after a certain period of time, it will be unrecoverable after 14 days.
We would like to set up a specification like "Archive function of the Bin" so that we can…7 votes -
Easier way to create a bookmark in Box from shared link generation
Bookmark takes too many steps even when saving a Box's shared link. It should be easier to create a bookmark of a shared Link from adoption perspective.
As-Is: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Copy the link 3. Move to folder where I want to save a bookmark 4. Create Bookmark and paste&name the link
To-Be: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Prepare a prompt (probably in the shared Link generation popup) and select "Create Bookmark" and user can select folder they would like to save the link in within the same prompt 3. Save the bookmark (without actually moving…

Mentions
Specify multiple people at once when commenting on a comment.
You can use @mentions to notify users of files in Box, but I think it is extremely inefficient to have to enter the user name from @ every time.
However, we think it is extremely inefficient to have to type the username from @ every time.
For example, it would be very convenient to be able to specify @mentions with a single click or by copying and pasting.(和訳)
Box上のファイルに対し、@メンションでユーザーに通知することが出来ますが、毎回@からユーザー名を一から入力する必要がするのは極端に作業効率が悪いと捉えています。例えばメールの返信の様な形でワンクリックで指定出来たり、
コピー&ペーストで指定できるなど、簡単に@メンションが付けられると非常に便利だと思います。7 votes -
Bring back pagination
Please bring back pagination! I work with thousands of files and continuous scrolling makes it much harder to search for the last file I was working on. Pagination allows me to view a certain number of files on a page which helps so much when working with thousands of files of data.

File Request Email Validation
Provide the ability to have the email address provided in a File Request form to be validated either generically to make sure the email is a real address or to require them to authenticate themselves. This is critical for organizations that have strict security and compliance requirements and can't accept the risk of someone getting a hold of the File Request link and uploading malicious content or inundate their folders with nonsense files.
7 votesI suggest customers look into Shield, a newer Box offering that provides malware detection. If turned on, it scans all content uploaded to Box including the ones from file requests (as well as any file when it's active - e.g., on preview, share, edit, copy, etc. events)

Open Shared Link Admin
On the "My Account" in the Web App, I would like to see a list of all open shared links created and owned by my account in Box. I'd like to be able to delete the shared link or change its settings, from Everyone with the Link to Company & Collaborator for example. This feature will enable users to have greater insight into what they have shared and what risk this may represent to their organisations.

File Request Link versioning
The new File Request feature is pretty awesome. Only thing is, when you upload a file with the same name, instead of creating it as a version in that folder, it uploads a new copy of that document with a long string of numbers at the end of it. Any word on if this will change in the future to support versioning?
7 votesThis is not planned as there are use cases where two different files with the same name being submitted.

Hide folders from Collaborators
Hello, would love to be able to hide folders (I am currently the owner) from collaborators that way as the owner I can monitor what is seen by collaborators as a whole without them seeing things change on their end.
