Make files preview in mobile without user registration like Dropbox
Make files preview on mobile Box, without user registration. Currently, customers need to download the box app just to view any file I send as shared link. This is not an issue with Dropbox. With the majority of people using their mobile phones this would be a good idea, do you agree?

Versioning on Box Drive
In the Box Web App, you can view different versions of a single file, see what changes were made and if needed, revert back to previous version of a file. We'd like for this feature to be available on Box Drive as well.

This feature is not planned for the first half of this year as we improve usability of the existing Managed Users page. We will revisit this feature request in the second half of the year and as more customers demand this type of report.

Document placeholder artefact
Expected document is a recurrent requirement for many scenarios (board management, underwriting, bid management...). We could add this new artefact, it could have a description, be linked to assignees and have an expected date with automated reminder.

Updated "Modified By" when restoring version of a file
The “Modified By” field doesn’t update when an old version is promoted – but the “Modified Date” field does. If one field updates, both should. If we are using the file’s metadata for one field, we should use this for both.

Different Custom Terms of Service for Specific External Collaborators
Looking for a way to use different custom terms of service for different external domains since currently you can only use one set of terms for all external users
4 votesThere is a significant amount of admin UI complexity that this feature would introduce. At this time, we don’t plan to add this.

Allow users to know whether a file has been updated via Box Drive.
Add notifications on file updates within Box Drive. If a file is currently updated, we need to view notifications in the web browser as Box Drive does not show this.

Wait until Save Changes before enabling email uploads
When ticking ‘box’ to create email for folder upload (https://community.box.com/t5/Upload-and-Download-Files-and/Upload-to-Box-Through-Email/ta-p/50552), do not update change automatically, wait until you hit the “Save Changes” button. We have had users tick this box unintentionally and mess up a complicated workflow.

See file size of previous versions
Want to be able to see the previous version file sizes without having to download the previous files.
1 voteInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Notification about Update of File
If you share a link to a file or folder, is there a way for recipients on that file to be notified that the file has been updated or in the case of a folder that another file has been added?
For example, when they receive the link, could there be a message that says, if you'd like to get updated about this file/folder enter your e-mail. Then Box has a way of sending them the updates.
32 votesI would like to better understand the use case / core problem this feature would address. Please share additional details in the comments below.

Right-click on a file to open in a new tab.
We need an easy way to open multiple tabs for a file. Our writers want to be able to right-click a file name in Box and choose to open in a new tab or window.

'Hide Collaborators' allows users to see who updated a file/folder if the updating user is an owner
On the 'Hide Collaborators' option, the text note says "If enabled, only the folder owner and co-owners will be able to view collaborators and their activity in the folder. This also removes the ability for non-owners to invite collaborators".
In reality, a user is able to see the name of a user who has last updated a file/folder but only if that user who last updated is the owner. I feel like the above definition isn't clear enough and makes it seem as though only owners/co-owners can see collaborators.

Retain Mark for Offline setting when logging out and re-signing into Box
Currently if a user marks content for offline access in any of the mobile devices once the user logs out the content is removed from offline. The next time they sign in to the Box app, content needs to be marked for offline again. The request is to remember content has been marked for offline access on the mobile device so the next time they log in it makes the experience more seamless
6 votesAt this point in time we are not planning to add this functionality.

Allow use of punctuation symbols in file and folder names
Our users cannot use punctuation symbols when naming folders/files and it’s causing their end users problems. Sometimes using more than one space between words is causing them problems.
They use Box exclusively through the webapp, so it doesn’t seem that this is a desktop related issue or that it’s a Sync related issue. I have heard of some limitations with Windows via the desktop when it comes to folder/file names syncing over.
