Add ethical walls to collaboration
We'd like to set up controls to prevent certain groups (like Investment Banking) from collaborating with users in a different group (Research).
8 votesThis is currently not planned. We are looking into restrictions that admins could set at this level, but there is nothing planned on the roadmap for this as of now.

Improve instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in file list
Improve the keyboard shortcut instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in the file list [e.g., under https://app.box.com/folder/]. From these instructions: https://community.box.com/t5/Migrating-and-Previewing-Content/Using-Keyboard-Shortcuts-for-Box/ta-p/25945
it is not clear and nonobvious that one has to navigate with the up and down arrows to land on the next file that you want to select, then you can press shift-x (which is a command that I've NEVER seen in a user interface).
Please improve your keyboard shortcuts article to be more explicit.1 vote -

Prevent moving sub-folders
Create a folder permission setting where collaborators can edit a file but not move the sub-folder where the file resides.
Another way of saying this:
Would like a folder setting which does not allow sub-folders to be moved but allows editing of files.8 votes -
Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks
In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

Add an admin console control to be able to turn on or off auto-accepting collaboration invitations
Currently the ability to turn on or off Auto-Accepting Collaboration Invitations is only available from the user's settings (User Settings > Account Settings > Sharing). This would enable organizations to turn off auto-accept invitations on an instance-wide level.

Identify version limit limitations
As limits on versions exists - and the most important for us is having access to the earlier versions - we would like a warning to happen when an earlier version is about to become unavailable - least then we know that we need to make some copies or alterations to how our drive is updating our files.

Open Box Notes API for logging
The idea here is to use a box note as a log which could be updated both by humans and an automated api.
My use case for the api would basically be "append a line" to the box note.

Provide a single API method to upload a file and apply metadata as an atomic operation
Unified Upload API (File and Metadata) - Having a single API call to upload a file (or file(s)) with associated metadata would provide large improvements in error avoidance and development logic. Currently, this process must be completed with multiple API calls, which leaves space for errors and sullies the user experience.

Music Playlists (Audio, MP3)
I'd like to see the ability to create multiple named playlists for the Box iOS mobile app. Currently I can only favorite songs which places them into one large playlist. I'd like to be able to create multiple playlists for different genres of music or for the activity I'm engaged in.

Allow login from email addresses associated with partnered org to be authenticated by box, rather than exclusively by org
Email address I wanted to use for Box login led me to default authentication screen for partnered organization. And yet I could not log in to Box through my authenticated credentials to that org because I wasn't a current member of that institution but a retired one (I do have a valid authenticated login with that organization, as well as valid email address that survived my service at the org, but since I am retired I am not granted organization-sponsored Box access).
And yet I had a need to be a collaborator on box with a current member of that…

Align box note shared link experience with file/folder experience
With Box note there is nor "copy" button, neither "email" button. This is not consistant with shared link for file or folder and requires extract actions

Ability to set default application for Box Edit opening .md file
Sometimes Box Edit opening files in the program not set as default on MacOS
If a user installs Xcode on Mac OS, the user cannot open .md files with default application which set on Mac OS. The user would like to open .md file with Atom.app but it opened with Xcode.
User can do nothing to change the application. it is the OS that it's selecting XCode when it's installed.4 votes -
Indicate whether a user is a managed user or app user in Admin event stream
Adding a parameter in the Admin event stream which indicates whether the user that took an action was a managed user or app user would make it more efficient for administrators or analytics tools to separate activity by the different user types. In an active enterprise the volume of events may be very great, and having this additional level of specificity would simplify reporting.

When will Versioning be available in the Box Content Explorer ?
We are using the Box UI Elements, Content Explorer javascript library. It seems Versioning of uploaded documents is not yet supported. I discussed this with the Box team via Git Hub, issue #199, and they suggested that I request for this feature at this site.
When will this feature be available ?
