  1. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  2. Change the file lock icon back to red

    After the Shield File and Folder Badges update, the file lock icon changed from red to grey.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/9790388093075-File-and-Folder-Badges

    It is harder to see now so it would be great if you can change it back to red.

  3. Disable new drag and drop clouds security feature

    The new drag and drop cloud game to view a file is horrible. The reason we went with BOX was to present our materials professionally with a visually attractive preview. We can't send files with a drag and drop security game to our clients. Please provide an option to disable that.

  4. Allow me to set default sorting to alphabetical anywhere

    Please, pretty please — allow me to set default sort of folder contents to alphabetical within a folder, for any folder. Should be an option under Settings for the folder.

    I have folders numbered for steps in a publication process, and I have to click "Name" every single *#$% time I display the folder list because it defaults to most recent. I may need to access any step in the process at any point in time; recent is USELESS to me. This is sooooo cognitively draining because I am touching dozens to 100s of files a day.

    Note: this is…

  5. Pre-Selecting item on new list view & grid view

    Previousely list view was shown information in the right pane by ジュst only selecting an item with the cursor like a Stepping stone.
    You can't do that with the new UI.
    Check >shown > Uncheck >move next item> Check next >shown>Uncheck....and more...
    it's not speedy action.
    We know that pre-selected items by cusor↓↑key, move to checkbox using tab key then enter key, then check each item.

    But need keyboard shortcuts easier.

    Like a round robbin.

  6. The ability to have an option to change the font color

    On the new UI, the font color versus the brand custom color makes it difficult to read. Would like to have an option to select the font color by customer

  7. New Color Scheme

    The new left pane color scheme makes the menu items more difficult to read. In the prod environment the Favorites icons are easily recognized by their color, but in the beta UI they all seem to blend together.

  8. Decrease the line space between each files on the New UI

    Hi team ,

    I received a feedback from a client that the new UI made the line spacing bigger and would like to make the line space to decrease to before so that they can see more files in one screen.

    Can you please consider this or be able to have option to change the line space?

    Thank you in advance for the consideration

    Thanks for the feedback. We have made this change in order to make it easier for users to read and scan their file lists. While other users have made similar comments when they first saw the change, many of them have also told us they adapted to the change and prefer the new design.

  9. Fix the display of "More Options" menus from file lists

    Clicking the "..." (More Options) menu popup from a file list often results in a truncated menu being displayed, rendering several options unreachable. I should not have to load a preview of a file in order to upload a new version. This is a UI defect.

  10. Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience

    Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience.

    Today I can open an individual file in a new browser tab by pressing [Command + Click], but it is not intuitive.

  12. Box uses low contrast fonts which make reading messages difficult

    Emails from Box render with a grey font against a grey background in Outlook. Emails are unreadable.

    Fonts on the website are low contrast making it hard to read.

  13. Allow deleted Collection items to be restored or undo option

    Today if you click the dropdown for a collection, it is easy to unintentionally click the delete button for a collection item based on the above collection still loading. If an item is unintentionally deleted from a collection, the end user should have the ability to restore the deleted item so it is not permanently lost.

  15. Move "Trash" UI button away from "Upload New Version"/"Download"

    When a file is selected (but not being previewed), the updated placement and design of UI buttons make it easy to accidentally select "Trash" when I mean to select "Upload New Version" or "Download." Please move the "Trash" button to a location that would require more determined thought to select it. Alternately, "Trash" could be spelled out or an otherwise more unique UI button.

    Thanks for the feedback. Currently, we have a tooltip that shows “Trash” when hovering over the icon. We will keep monitoring to see if other users share the same confusion.

  17. Enable ability to auto-organize folders (e.g. by Name, Size, Date Updated), rather than manually doing so, similar to my desktop experience

    Enable ability to auto-organize folders (e.g. by Name, Size, Date Updated), rather than manually doing so, similar to my desktop experience.

    Today, if I create a new folder, it does not automatically fall into the organization structure that I've applied to my folders (e.g. alphabetically). I'd like this to be done automatically.

  19. List the all collaborators without page transition

    While we run multiple projects at the same time, we frequently check the list of collaborators for each Box-folders.
    I think it would be more practical, if we can see the whole collaborators without any page transition.

  20. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.
