Collections Page as My Homepage
So as designed, I think "My Collections page" is underutilized. Sure here is the only place you can edit/delete your collections and their titles...but this would be a wonderful place to drive users too as their homepage. Obviously, you all thought of that as well since it can be selected as "My Homepage" but right now I think a lot of folks won't want to because there isn't enough useful information on the basic page.
Please allow the user to better configure this page or at least have the collections unfurled/unnested. So that each time they go to this page…

collections folder is cumbersome and awkward, very hard to use
My favorites randomly auto populate in the left margin when I open box. My work efficiency is greatly affected by having to click on the collections folder and wait for a new screen then dig through the page to find the bookmark favorite that I want. The "old way" of displaying my favorites had no issues and the order in which my favorites were organized worked well for me. Please find a way to revert back to my favorites always being displayed in the left margin.

collections
Business Goal:
A Collection provides the users the ability to view files from different locations across BOX in a single view, it would be great to provide them the ability to manage the files there as well,Currently they can right-click and download the files, but no more than that.
Giving them the ability to manage them, i.e. move, copy and share the entire collection would be a massive positive change within the BOX platform extending the functionality to better manage the content.

Unable to download files from "Collections."
I would LOVE to be able to download the files from a "Collection." It's kinda weird that as powerful as Box is, this seemingly simple task is not available. I spent two days (off and on) assembling a "Collection" only to find that I need to go back and download each file (MS Word doc) individually. Food for thought. Thanks much.

Sort files/folders/etc by exclusively names
Right now can only sort files and folders by name separately ie. 04 folder, 05 folder, 01 file, 02 file, 08 link, 09 link etc. Would like them all in a row as they are steps to complete/fill out:
01 file
02 folder
03 link
04 file
etc...1 vote -
Make initial sorting of folders into Collections easier
I have a lot of Box folders shared with me that I cannot organize into broader folders. To help with the initial process of using Collections to organize all of these folders, it would be great if there was a way to view all folders while on the Collections page and they could disappear as you “collect” them so you easily know when you’ve put them all in their various Collections (similar to filing things on File Explorer).

Disabling Collections
Currently under Enterprise settings we only have the capability to disable "Collections Promotion" where users receive informational prompts about the feature, but we are in need of disabling the Collections feature for specific users or even the enterprise as a whole.

A left pane, My collection should be more controllable
A left pane, My collection should be more controllable.
It is happy if a left pane menu will be able to fold and unfold .
And more, if a left pane menu will able to change the order of "My collection" items.The left pane is not neccerry all to be anytime.
it's more useful if it extractable.Thank you,

Have a personalized name for a shared file or folder
It would be great if we could apply a tag, or rename a file or folder to something private to the user rather than what the original owner named the file.
Today we can move those items into Collections to manage them with our own naming, but that doesn't resolve the issue of individual files or folders with ambiguous names.For example: I need to track certain files that a bunch of different teams are working on as part of "Company Project 1". I don't need to see everything the teams are doing, so they don't grant me access to…

Better workflows for organizing content
A colleague of mine works in an a department we'll call "DepartmentX" in a larger organization. Within other departments in the org they create a "DepartmentX" folder and share that to my colleage's box account.
My colleague now has several "DepartmentX" folders and cannot at a glance see where they are from.
In the initial view in Box and even on BoxDrive the "root" is polluted with other people's stuff and it is not possible to organize that into sub folders that are meaningful.
If a user tries to drag a shared-folder into a folder they created Box attempts to…

collections available in modal windows
Everywhere that uses a modal window should surface collections. For example in Teams adding a file to a chat to share, modal window appears. Show collections.
Another example - When creating a workflow and then using the file picker modal window appears. Show collections.
Collections should be everywhere, it is a killer feature that would get more use if you could rely on every interaction with box showing collections. (otherwise it makes using box more difficult remembering where content is)

Search Box Collections
We think it would be great to be able to create a Collection of specific folders. Then utilize a Collection only Search. It would be great to even include it as a Metadata option. Allowing users to search across collections via a Collection Specific Metadata Template.

Collections items are not allowed to be dragged and dropped onto Trush.
Users can drag and drop folders and files registered in "My Collections" and "Favorites" to "Trush".
In this case, the folders and files will be moved to Trush.
On the other hand, the user recognizes that this operation unregisters "My Collections" and "Favorites".
This difference in perception caused operational problems.
A user has moved a folder containing tens of thousands of files from "My Collection" to Trush, which has stopped the business of that person.
My request is:
Folders and files displayed in "My Collections" and "Favorites" are prohibited from being moved to Trush by drag and drop.1 vote -
Save a Search Query as a Collection
When you search, have an option to save the search query as a Collection that then gets dynamically updated.
Good use case: search query for "Folders Created Today" and save that as a Collection (or some other entity in Box).
Other platforms do this with search already and users enjoy it!

Add folder shared with all people in my company to favorites and collection
Hi Box Team,
When I share a folder with all people in my company, then my colleagues can access the folder with the link but they cannot add the folder to their favorites or collections. It would be great if folders shared with people in my company can be added to collections or favorites by my colleagues.
Regards Nils

more than one collection expanded at a time
Would love to leave more than one collection expanded at a time
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Allowing more than one collection expanded in the left sidebar might result in negative performance impact, so we have decided to limit it to one collection at a time. As we continue to make improvements to our systems, we will keep this request in mind.

We used to be able to swipe through photo's in "favourites" in iOS (iPhone) but this feature has now gone. Can it be brought back?

The ability to name the title of a collection
I have a number of folders that were invited by external users (grey folders) and those folders are typically named such as "shared folder" and it is often difficult to identify which organization I am invited by. So I would like to organize those folders by naming when collection.
1 voteIf the request is to rename folder names on folders that are owned by an external party, we are currently unable to support this.

Enable Collections for users in bulk via Admin Console
We have a list of 100 people to enable Collections for, and we are not able to copy/paste email addresses or names in the admin console. The only way we can get it to work is to type out one name at a time. Do we really have to enter each of the 100 names? We need to enable this today.
It'd be helpful to either allow copy and paste of multiple email addresses at once, or to allow some sort of csv upload method.
1 voteThanks for the feedback. This component was originally planned for customers to enable new features for a small group of users before rolling out to the all users. We will keep this in mind for the future, but unfortunately, we are unable to prioritize this against other priorities.
