Inherit classifications when copying file from one folder to another
In Box Shield Smart Access, if moved from Folder A, which is assigned the [In-House] classification, to Folder B, which is assigned the [Public] classification, Folder A's classification will be inherited.
However, the classification of [In-house] in folder A is not inherited when the copy operation is performed, the [Public] classification assigned to folder B is assigned.
Since the classification is not inherited by the copy operation, this function can be useful to prevent information leakage by implementing this function.3 votes -
Allow multiple OAuth Reply URLs
Currently, an application can only be defined with a single OAuth Reply URL. This is very restrictive for applications where multiple authentication endpoints are required.
The workaround is to define multiple applications, but this doesn't scale well.
In my experience, all other OAuth providers I've used allow for many URLs to be defined within a single application.
1 voteWe already support multiple Redirect URI in OAuth setup. You can learn more here.

Instructions for installing cli on Linux
Why don't you at least include some guidance on https://developer.box.com/docs/box-cli regarding where to start if you are using Linux? I have been unable to effectively use my box account since the webdav support ended, and every so often take another stab at it. It would be nice if this page at least pointed to the best resources for installing on Linux, rather than just giving a link to the download pages.
47 votesEven though this is an old request, we want to make sure you have been informed about the Linux CLI instructions update.
The CLI installation for Linux is available at CLI quick start guide

File Request - Display Icon on Folders with File Request Enabled
On the website, much like the icons on/next to folders for Shared Links, Descriptions, or Sync To Desktop, it would be nice to have an icon for folders that have the File Request feature enabled on them. It would greatly assist with being able to easily identify folders that have the feature enabled at first glance. Thank you.
32 votesThe File Request Enabled indicator is available under Shared Link on the right-hand side.

Insert a photo in Box Note within Box Mobile
I would like to be able to (easily) insert a PHOTO into Box Notes from the MOBILE platform.
I know we can do this in the browser (https://community.box.com/t5/Creating-and-Editing-Box-Notes/Inserting-Images-in-Box-Notes/ta-p/46192) but it is more likely that I would take a photo of an object and have a discussion with my team about it within Box. If I am exclusively using Box mobile while at remote sites, it keeps me from easaily communicating with the team real time if I can't uplaod photos. (We currently use texting to resolve this, but then the conversation is not recorded within the project)4 votes -

Ability to create "search folders" or "saved searches"
Instead of doing a new search each time, it would be great to be able to save a search and run it at any time with one click. That search could appear in your All Files view as a Search Folder (e.g., named "New PDFs re XYZ") and when you click the folder it runs the search; or as a saved search accessible on the left menu.
8 votesHi, it is currently possible to save a search by using the URL. See https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696314-Search-for-Files-Folders-and-Content for instructions on how to save a search and bookmark it.

Create the file request link for each doctor's portal page in Japan
Create the file request link for each doctor's portal page In Japan, the power balance of doctors and pharms are quite unique, and doctors are considered very high class and it is very hard for pharm to ask the doctor to create the box account. So pharm generally creates portal sites for doctors and they wants to create the links and embed to the pages. Create the file request link for each events Pharm host some conferences and they need to gather the documents and videos from doctor and other organization(like university and etc...). And also they are going to…

Ability to draw on images in Box note or on .jpg, .png .gif files on mobile platform
Hello, it would be great if there was a feature that I could draw on a photo directly (especially on the mobile platform), and ALSO to be able to draw on a photo INSIDE Box Notes.
I can open a photo from Box on the desktop and it opens the photo in Paint and I can draw on it and save it back to Box, but I cannot do this on the mobile platform Box Edit Can't be used on mobile platforms :''( . I currently have to take a screenshot of the photo I want to edit, draw on…
2 votesThe ability to draw on images is available through our new Annotations feature. Simply open the image file in preview mode, tap on the new option for annotations (see attached image) and you can start drawing.
This functionality is not yet supported inside of Box Notes, but we will consider adding this in the future!

Boolean search term support for web and Drive
Would love to have boolean search support for both the web and Drive. If anything, an functional wildcard would be extremely useful.

Relay: Copy or move the contents of a folder rather than the folder itself
Currently Relay can copy a file or a folder, but not all the contents of a folder to a location. This would be really useful for content propagation, where the use case would be that every time a folder is created copy the content of a template to it.
8 votesThis is possible today with the “copy folder” outcome.

name folder based on data created
When a new folder is created through Relay, have various options to name the file beyond a default name field, such as data created as an insert field variable.

My application does not require download permission
We would like you to provide a way in the developer console to remove the download permission from our application.
We are worried about leaking access tokens.
Our application needs Box administrator privileges. Then change the folder name or delete the collaborator.
However, it does not access the content of files in box.2 votesAfter obtaining a token, you can downscope it to obtain one with a more limited set of scopes. While your parent token will still have the full scope, you can generate and use the lower-privileged tokens in your application logic. Refer to this page for details https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/access-tokens/downscope/
