Disable notification triggered by integration or specific collaborator
We are using Druva to back-up the data. But Druva downloads all the data and triggers large amounts of email notifications. We want the ability to disable the notifications for actions triggered by the integration

Add ability for users to open a folder in Box Drive from the Web App
Add some kind of "open in Box Drive" option for a folder. Clicking this would cause Box Drive to open the appropriate folder locally.
14 votesThis seems like it would be better solved with a search improvement to Box Drive. If not, let us know in the comments.

Folder level comments and tasks
Being able to comment or assign a task on an entire folder would be easier than @mentioning a user on one file and referencing 3 or 4 other ones. It would be helpful to assign a task to someone on an entire folder (and not leave that sort of information in the folder description).
67 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap. We will be exploring improvements and enhancements to Tasks in the next 1-2 years and will take this into consideration when we do.

Add "expand all" flag for annotations
Currently, all point/comment annotations are collapsed by default.
If a user leaves many annotations on a multi page document, this can lead to some point annotations being missed.
There should be an expand all option to mitigate this.

Ability to set folder notifications for external and internal collaborators within a folder.
Companies with many external collaborators have to walk each user through changing their folder notification settings so the external collaborator will be notified whenever a document is uploaded to a folder. This is extremely manual for us and their external collaborators. It would be easier if folder owners could set folder notifications for everyone within the folder so external collaborators receive the sames notifications as internal collaborators.

View all shared links for a user
Similar to the ability to view favorites and trash on the left-hand side, a view to see current shared links with columns for date shared, date expiring, and who can view it (anyone, company, collaborators)

Restrict content creation at the user or group level
Request: Root content creation to be set at user or group level instead of the tenant so that the majority wouldn't have to sacrifice a open folder structure for a small subset of users with constraints. Ultimately looking for a hybrid solution.

Attach files from Box mobile app and not Files app.
Since the introduction of the Files app, it is impossible to access Box from an email except through the Files app.
If you are telling me that, post-Files, it will be impossible to attach a document from Box to an existing email chain, so be it. But that is an impediment to using Box as our mobile document management system.
2 votesThank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

Users want to customize their "home" Box page to limit # of folders in view
Users would ideally like to be able to create folders within their own home screen to sort & categorize folders they've been granted access to.
These folders would be for personal organizational purposes, but would not actually impact the folder structure overall. This group felt that the Favorites feature was not sufficient on its own.

Add redlining capability
Option to redline contracts in the task flow
2 votesThis would require a change on the Web App and Files structure. This can be achieved today through Word redlines.

Disable Folder Rename capability
I would like to have a Folder properties setting to disable Folder Rename (even for Editors).
I was testing setting up departmental folders to replicate our group file server. I want all members of the department to be able to add/remove/delete files in their folder. I was able to do that by assigning them the editor role, but that allows them to change the root level folder name. Is there a way to prevent that?
For instance, I create folders for accounting, finance, etc. I want those folders to keep the names I set and I do not want the…
19 votesInteresting suggestion, but we’re not able to prioritize this given competing priorities.

User Activity report: Add number of folders user has been invited into and number of folders user has invited others into".
This requires a lot of Excel merging today and not easy to get to this information.

External link white-labeling
Due to the sensitivity of our work (along with many other firms) we cannot externally share sensitive documents from our Box instance that includes our brand assets (logo).
To address this issue, we generally open free accounts, where they can share private files that do not include their logo.
Please allow for the customization of these links.

List and Grid support in the Content Explorer JavaScript Libraries
The java script libraries for content explorer do not appear to have an option to include toggle list/grid views which is available in the Box Drive experience.
4 votesGreat feedback – something we’ve discussed in the past and definitely want to do. Just not prioritized / planned on the roadmap currently.
