  1. Direct "Save As" when saving from Box Edit to a navigable area on local machine.

    Currently if you hit Save As on the default Box Edit location, it will save the version of the file to the cache and this causes version/maintenance issues with a document.

  3. I have to download and "repair" Box Tools AT LEAST once a week because Box will randomly stop opening documents.

    And if I try to open it online, the formatting is absolutely fcked to the point I can't effectively edit the document because I can't even tell what it's doing. This is enormously annoying and seriously affects my efficiency. I am wasting so much time just trying to get Box to do the bare goddmn minimum.

  6. .docx images are messed up in Box when edited using word online

    Whenever I upload a .docx file, I try to edit it. I click the "open" dropdown. I open the .docx file in Word Online. When I add images to Word Online, my document looks fine. However, when I save and come back to Box, my document has images all over the place, in crazy places. I don't think that Box picks up the image formats from Word. Also, every time I make a change in Word it changes the version in Box. I got 22 new versions in just a few minutes, which is not what I wanted.

  7. Allow the expiration date of signature requests to be extended.

    Allow the expiration date of signature requests to be extended! (Or at least make it VERY clear that imposing an expiration date will nullify the entire document if not all are completed before it expires.)

  8. box tools excel display defaults

    Every time I open a new tab in an excel spreadsheet I am looking at nothing. It shows me the cells below and right of anything useful. So every time I open a tab I have to scroll up and left to find the spreadsheet I need to work with. This should be the simplest of things and shouldn't be a problem. Please help...

  9. Audio/Video Playlists

    Add Audio/Video Playlists so that clients can more quickly review a folder or "album" of media content without having to click on a single file at a time while it loads in a new window in order to hear or watch it. Then having to arrow back to the original list to repeat the process for the full album. It would work much like you see an iTunes or Spotify album. You can click a "play" icon for one track and it plays while still seeing the other available tracks. Click the play button again to stop playback and chose…

  11. I want BoxEdit/BoxDrive to support the Save As feature

    When a user opens a file from the web interface in a desktop app such as Excel, makes edits, selects Save As, and renames the file, the new file does not get saved. Countless hours' worth of work have been lost because of this significant problem. If a user does all the same steps with the exception of opening a file from File Explorer (BoxDrive) instead of from the web interface, the new file is saved. We need the same functionality in the web interface!

  12. Automatic validation of Box Folder and File access

    At IBM we have various tools that have automated validations, where people who have access to the tool are notified to ensure that they have a continued business need to access the tool. At times the manager is also copied on the email.
    I would like to see Box for IBM implement something for us to manage Box Folders and Files which people have access to IBM Confidential Information be more protected on a regular basis.
    Thank you!

  13. How can I set an opening date and time for files?

    I need to open files progressively for a class. There is an expiration setting but not an opening setting. It would be ideal to have both an opening and expiration date/time setting.

  15. I would like to use the orange/yellow comment box as a frame without the comment box showing up

    When presenting a PDF in front of a client. The pen is messy. The highlighted (comment box) works really well. How can I eliminate the comment section?

  16. Future tasking

    Sometimes I drop a file on box and needed a reminder in the future to look at the file again. I wish that box had a function where I could task myself to look at a file or take an action on a file in the future.

  17. I want to create custom report for approval pending and files which was rejected on particular folders

    We are working on multiple approvals on files, so want to track how many files waiting for approval or rejection and how many files got approval by whom and when it will help us to manage the monthly report.

  18. Default email notification for a folder

    Set a default notification setting for a folder (i.e. Every collaborator gets a notification email when a new file is uploaded), until the individual wants to change that and override it. This would be helpful in the case where we want to utilize Box to share files with external clients and avoid sending a separate email to them to let them know that we've uploaded a new file. It would be a hassle (and maybe not likely to happen) to rely on external clients to change their own personal notification settings.

  19. Box Cataloging Spreadsheet

    I would like a live spreadsheet that shows an outline of our folders and files, who updated them, and when - and that we could add columns to that we manually update. This could be within box or another app.

  20. Box Tools(or other app) Reports

    Ability for Box Admins to run reports to see users who have Box Tools(or other Box Apps) installed. It would make it easier and more efficient for us to contact users who need to update to the latest version if we knew who had which apps and what version.
