  1. Content Manager should be content-based instead of user-based

    Request from healthcare customer: Instead of Content Manager being organized by user, then showing their folder structures and content within that user, Content Manager should be a direct reflection of the organization's folder structure in a tree view that allows the admin to have an understanding of what is in their tenant, root level folders, and then if you click on an individual folder, you can see the corresponding users and content within.

  2. Restrict more special characters used in naming all uploads

    to have an account or folder level setting/configuration that will allow account admins to enforce MS windows file/folder naming restrictions for all uploads (This includes restriction that following characters aren't allowed: " \ / : | < > * ?. )

    We have a production issue where a partner is dropping folders in Box that do not meet Windows naming convention (they're using *) and that is causing a failure with download from Box.

  3. Shared links auto-expiration exception for specific folders

    Currently, the auto-expiration policy for shared links applies to all folders and files. For shared links on folders, it would be great if we could prevent specific folders from expiring (similar to custom notifications settings on specific folders).
    We have a couple of folders that are synced and shared using public links and shouldn't expire.

  4. Recover Data

    When recovering data. It would be good to be able to go into deleted folders to see what is there rather than restoring the whole folder

  6. different versioning rules according to location

    It would be very helpful to have different versioning rules according to locations. For instance, in a specific folder you could have 10 versions of a file and in other folders 50.

  9. Template library for enterprise

    We’d love to be able to have a template folder structure that our enterprise can use to create the same folder structure over and over again. We use the same folder structure across the enterprise often. If we could create a template library that out users could access to create new Box folders with the same structure that would be super helpful.

    Thanks!

  10. Hello Box, Box, by removing the Grid View for us desktop users you are making life hellish for those who need to send video files and image

    Hello Box,

    Box, by removing the Grid View for us desktop users you are making life hellish for those who need to send video files and images to clients for selection/use at their end. 90% of value in the Box platform has been diminished by this one change.

    Instead of us/our clients being able to scan hundreds of images/video clips and then be able to click in to specific files for a closer look, people have to go through one by one to see what images/video clips look like. This update is like going back to the stone ages for…

  11. Detect empty folders

    Is there a way to detect empty folders in Box (so we can delete them if needed, to simplify a folder tree) ?
    Maybe a tool on a computer can work (like Remove Empty Directories) but it would be great if it was detected by Box itself.

  13. Rewind a folder

    Dropbox had an incredibly useful feature called "rewind", where you could rewind the entire contents of a particular folder back to a certain point in time. This has saved our company on numerous occasions. Box should look into adding this feature since there isn't a way to preview different versions of a folder (only a file). Could save customers from huge headaches of losing files within a folder.

  14. Ability to moderate/pre-validate comments

    Some files in Box have a very wide diffusion (All the company so about 1,5/2K people).

    We would like to moderate the comments.
    The function we want is a folder parameter stating that all comments on any file in this folder would be validated by the owner ou co-owner of the folder.

  15. Previous versions on Folders as opposed to just files

    We would like to be able to see Previous versions on Folder level items as opposed to just individual files. This would help if a folder was overwritten.

  19. Make item selection of Content Explorer more kindly

    Currently item selection of Content Explorer is difficult little, because only character area can be clicked.
    I hope thumbnail area also can be clicked, so that item selection of Content Explorer can be more kindly.

  20. Last modified date affected by added metadata

    Good afternoon,

    When the metadata for a box file record is updated from the UI or from the api, the last modified date and last modified by is not updated. So, it is clear that nowadays only the content itself matters when updating such metadata but if a document altogether with its metadata is considered a unity, it would be good that the modification date would be also changed by a metadata change.

    Please, could you consider to have this implemented?

    Thanks
