My biggest challenge is version control of files that are shared in multiple box folders.
Ideally updating master file would then update all the different box files it is housed in that may have a variety of users. I spend more time on version controls and finding the latest one than anything.

Ability to rename the parent directory in Box Drive
I would like to know if it is possible to rename the parent directory in Box Drive. Right now ti seems that nothing I do, even in the registry, will stop the folder being named “Box”.
Please let me know if there is any way I can rename this folder to anything other than “Box”.

Fix Favorites sort order between side bar and main view for Japanese file names
Currently the Favorite sort order is not the same between sidebar and favorite view.
It appears that on Favorite view, items are sorted in order of UTF-8 code point (when you sort by name) whereas in sidebar, items are sorted in a similar way as Window explorer.

Have a different section/page for Shared links setting on account settings page
Right now, shared links setting is on "Sharing" tab. This has create a confusion for customer in the following scenario:
Customer recently switched from company only to open link on admin console settings. They expected that this will change the settings of all managed users, but some users still defaulted to company only link. This was because those users updated email settings before (which happens to be in the same "Sharing" tab) while the "company only" was selected in the Shared Links setting and saved as their individual setting.

Possible to unlock by just id of the lock object
Locks may have been destroyed by others.
In the current, just before releasing the lock, the owner of the lock needs to confirm that the owner is himself, so it is useless.
If we can release this from the object returned at locked, we can write logic more smartly.1 vote -

Content Manager - allow all folder transfer for all folders owned by one person to another
Using the superadmin box account, I can transfer ownership by folder. This is nice when I want to transfer 1-2 folders, but when a person leaves the university and that person owns 17 different folders in Box, changing ownership is a very manual task. Keep the change ownership model (under Content Manager), but also have an option that allows me to transfer all folders owned by one person to another - be it 2 folders or 20 or 200. Please.

Hide admins/co-admins and owners/co-owners from collaborators
We would like a way to hide owners/co-owners, or potentially admins/co-admins, from the default view of collaborators on the right side preview panel.
We have a closed folder structure where admins & co-admins own content. Due to this. anytime a user is pre-viewing content in the webapp, the quick list of collaborators on the right hand panel shows the admins and doesn’t show other editors in the folder. This makes it difficult for them to quickly assess who is part of the folder without clicking into the collaborator view, since it always shows the admins/co-admins (owners/co-owners) by default. They lose…

Improve management of pending invitations via API
As we continue to build and customize the collaboration mechanism we found it difficult to manage pending invitations. When calling your API api.box.com/2.0/folders<folder_id>/collaborations it returns approved collaborators in the “accessibleby” object but when it return PENDING collaborators the “accessibleby” object is null, but there’s status “pending” on this collaborator. We would imagine it would capture the email address of that pending collaborator. Seeing this is capable in your public domain to show the pending collaborator with an email address would be very useful to create modules to manage pending collaborators (e.g. resending the invitation, update the email address,…

Shared Link Default Setting
I propose that the default Shared Link setting be the strictest available setting "People in this Folder" rather than "People with the Link". In my opinion, the default setting should be the more confidential / private one and force the user to opt to share the link with outside parties. In my experience, many users have not understood to update that setting.

Choosing access permission of a user by the network (IP)
We want Box service to be able to control the access permission to the file within the same user by the access source (network, device, etc.).
Example:
-When accessed from an internal network, access permission is "Editor", and when accessed from an external network, this user becomes "Previewer".
-Although "Editor" can be performed from a corporate PC, only "Preview" can be performed from a private PC.3 votes -
Provide granular error messages when creating a Chinese external account
Below is one of the error messages we get, and as you can see there are very vague messages. We have to spend time checking a few things before actually finding the reason for the errors. This takes up time which can be better spent on other issues.
Error: External email address <email> belongs to a company which already has Box. You may begin collaborating with the external user.
