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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Bring back the comments icon
I get so many notifications it's hard to manage notifications. Can you bring back the comment icon on a file that someone has added their notes to? Unless I click on the file to open it up, I can't tell someone has left a comment or change. Thanks!

Move / Copy status
it would better if there is also a window that shows the status of moves or copies in box, similar to uploads.

Admin, content owner, and/or content co-owners can lock folders in the native UI so that they can't be moved.
Make Owner/Co-Owner folder lock available in native web interface. It's really bad if a folder that shouldn't be moved gets moved by an Editor. Right now, this is only available via API https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/

Show size of all files in a folder
When downloading, it would be useful to compare the total size of what has been downloaded to the total size of what is being downloaded. Files have sizes listed, not sure about folders, but a total of whatever is on the page, or what is selected would be useful.

Make anonymous editing from "Someone" easier to investigate through the native Box interface, rather than requiring Event Log API or Reports
Make anonymous editing from "Someone" easier to investigate through the native Box interface, rather than requiring Event Log or User Activity Report (e.g. did this come from Shared Link with "People with Link" permission, a File Request, email upload, etc.)
E.g. "Folder Details" --> "Modified" section says "Modified by xxxxx through Microsoft Office Online integration" or "Downloaded by Someone/Anonymous through Shared Link" or "Uploaded by Someone/Anonymous through File Request"

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…

Ability to change file/folder name rich text
It would be lovely if a user could change the font/color/bold/underline on file and folder names.
We have a scenario where we are going to "archive" certain shared folders and lump them under a single folder but it would be nice if we could change the color of the text of the folder name to say red and maybe make it bold. It would stand out in the list of all folders in the root.1 vote -
Column with type of update and badge if unseen by me
I would like to see a column or some other means to see the type of update made to the file vs current view just showing the time and account that updated. Example: comment added, new version uploaded, edited, etc.
It would be even more valuable to understand if I have seen the update, similar to "updated" icon on recents view page.
Currently I have to reconcile by the updated time if the update is new to me which often typically requires going in to preview area to track changes manually, which can be difficult and tedious and sometimes impossible…

Display password for a shared link
When you set a password for a shared link, you cannot verify what you've entered.
It would be great to be able to see the password entered, or at least have a second box to reenter the password (to be sure it's correct).2 votes -
Need to add the "Add or Create Folder" button/option just like on the old UI
A HUGE part of our co-admins job is to add folders to managed users accounts. Taking away this functionality is a major oversight and needs to be added to the new UI.

Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions
Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions.
When I change subfolder permissions to give someone higher permissions (e.g. Editor to Co-Owner), it changes the parent folder permissions too.
This makes sense that you wouldn't be able to give someone lower permissions in the subfolder than the parent folder, but makes no sense the other way around.

Speed up and eliminate latency on Access Stats report CSV download
Speed up and eliminate latency on Access Stats report CSV download. Very slow, even for extremely small amounts of data.
