Subject Access Request reporting
UK users need to be able to provide Subject Access Reporting (by law). Everyone is entitled to a copy of their data held in the system.
Box needs to be able to report on that. Search (content and/or metadata) will provide the results, but we need a list of this content in a report as well as the ability to download all this content in a zip file.
See specific GDPR requirements here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organizations/guide-to-data-protection/principle-6-rights/subject-access-request/

Reduce amount of steps needed to create bookmarks in Box.
Can be simplified with a simple context menu (e.g. right-click > create bookmark) and then either copy the bookmark or choose a destination.

Document stamp / seal of approval

Mask or hide email addresses
There is a need to hide or mask email addresses for instance we have service accounts by business unit that 'own' all of the content and also high-level executives that cannot be spammed by external collaborators.

Pre-populate Box signin userid (email) field
Actually for all Box applications requiring sign-in from a computer.
Allow the sign-in procedure to remember previously supplied email addresses (in a configuration file or in the Windows registry) or allow customization for users to provide a list of addresses. Then provide selection from a drop-down list at sign-in time.
This is typical of browser access to the Box web page. It would greatly ease access to Box for Box Drive users that do not stay connected. Absence of this feature has us looking for alternatives to Box Drive for our desktop file sharing needs.

"Virtual Documents" / Groupings of documents that together form one master document
Box should have the ability to get documents together in a collection. This collection should then be versionable, regardless of the versions of the documents.
Thinks a personal dossier. Some documents might update a couple of time, before I declare the whole dossier as a new version.
Tools like documentum have a concept of virtual documents. My opinion to those implementation is that they are really bad from a user perspective. Therefore we should do it better.

Improve viewer-uploader copy experience
Copy is only possible for viewer-uploader through shortcut. It should be available through button/command too, it would be consistent with other role and it would improve user productivity

Strip down and rebuild.
I've been a user for years. It used to be easy and reliable. It is now a nonintuitive stupid mess. And it doesn't even work properly. I just tried to download a bunch of files, twice, and both times the zipped folder could not be opened.

Save draft email and addresses for Send Shared Link until sent
I have a request to fix what I consider a flaw in the Box.com environment. When I share a file or folder, I sometimes decide to add restrictions after I have already put in all the email addresses and typed up a message. However, if I go to the restrictions page and then come back to the message page, ALL of my email addresses and the message I typed are GONE! In other words, I have to start all over again. Can this be changed so that you can toggle back and forth between the message page and the restrictions…

Update shared link expiration workflow is confusing
The workflow to update the shared link expiration date on the mobile app is confusing and not intuitive.
Here’s what I would have expected to happen:
- I get email in my inbox warning me that a file or folder that I own or collaborate on is expiring soon
- I click the link contained in the email
- I see a screen that gives me an option to extend the date or not
- I make an update or leave it as-is and confirm
- Done
Instead here’s what actually happens
- I get email in my inbox warning me that a file or folder…

Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions
We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.
But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

Add menu option to "send to mail recipient"
This would be the same option that is available today with normal file shares in the MS Windows environment.

Improve online Permissions integrations with Box Drive to local Applications (Excel)
If a user is a "View only" collaborator in a folder on Box and they attempt to open a file with a program like Excel through Box Drive, they will receive an error message from Box Drive about not having permissions to save changes. This happens even if no changes are made, and the user is left with 'unsynced' files they must reconcile.
In a similar experience on a "real NTFS" volume, Excel would display "Read-Only" beside the title of the file. No errors would be displayed unless the user attempted to actually save to the directory.
Excel is not…

Add ability to share content with a distribution list
There is no ability to “share with anyone who has the link” like in Google Drive or similar tools, but should be configurable by an administrator for specific folders.
