Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)
Use Case:
- There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
- This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
- Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folderCurrently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:
Option 1:
Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
Export the report
Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column

"Move Owned Items" API call fails for users with a large amount of content.
We aim to fully automate the deprovisioning of users using Box Platform. This normally involves transferring content the user owned to their manager or another service account. For users who own large amounts of content this is challenging (even via the UI), and not possible at all using API.

Visual Versions: Preview prior versions directly in the web app
Concurrent editing feature in Office Online can result in 200+ versions of a document within a matter of hours.
There is no easy way to identify which version we want to roll back to without downloading previous versions.
We would like a preview of earlier versions to be available in the web app - does not need to be a full html5 but maybe an instant preview?

Currently if you download a folder, the report will only show the user downloading a folder, not the individual files iwthin the folder. The client would like to know exactly what was downloaded as the content of a folder can change in it lifetime

Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions
In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.
Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
--"John D" will populate correctly
--"jdoe" will populate correctly
--"Doe" will NOT populate correctlyREQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).
22 votesThank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

Show Exact Timestamp for Comments (Instead of 'X Months Ago')
Make new Web App comment timestamps exact, just like they were in Legacy.
11 votesWe’ve updated the timestamps shown in the Activity sidebar of Amsterdam for Comments and Tasks such that they now show a more logical mix of exact and relative dates. Additionally, you can always hover over a timestamp to see a tooltip with the full day/date/time for any entry.

User Trash -- Ability to search within Trash from the Web for end users
Since Box has a public-facing Search API that allows searching within the Trash, the Web App should also make use of this functionality and allow users to search in Trash from the Web. API documentation here: https://docs.box.com/reference#searching-for-content

Security Report: Log when apps are disabled/enabled in the Admin Console
Currently, when admins/co-admins mark apps as 'available' or 'disabled' in the Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Apps page, no reporting event is triggered, meaning companies have no way to self-identify who enabled/disabled which applications/endpoints, and this is a major security concern for some customers.
REQUEST: Add entries to the Security Report in the admin console whenever:
1. A published app's status is changed between Available, Disabled, and Added by Default (via the Enterprise Settings -> Apps page)
2. An API key is added/removed from the Unpublished Applications Whitelist field on Enterprise Settings -> Apps14 votesWe are happy to announce that we have addressed this request. Details are available in the announcement.

Initiate retention time period on content Based on Metadata / Attributes Upon Upload (Migration) to Box
For example, when content is uploaded to Box, applying a 7 year retention policy to content, but basing it off the last modified or created date. In this scenario, the 7 year policy would apply to the content, but it would not live for 7 years in Box - it would like for 7 years from the last modified/created date.

Allow preview of either the latest 99 comments on a file or all comments
If a file has more than 100 comments on it, there are 2 issues at play:
1) the mobile app only displays 100 of the 100+ comments
2) of the 100 comments the mobile app does display, it shows the oldest 100 commentsIdeally the mobile app could display all existing comments (aka more than 100 comments). If this is not possible or too intensive a project, instead of displaying the oldest 100 comments it should instead at least display the latest/most recent 100 comments
