This is a relatively expensive request for a modest payoff. We will be prioritizing other features on our roadmap.

Add ability to dismiss problem items if the user does not want to address the issue
For example, a Box item's name has characters that Windows does not support.
The user wishes to keep the name as is and doesn't need to see the item locally.
With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

We will need additional use case data to understand the problem addressed by this feature.

This is an interesting request! However, we have not prioritized it in the short term.
With additional customer feedback, we may reconsider in the future.

Add a flag to enable/disable end-user collaboration emails
Currently, collaboration emails are only sent to the service account. Admins should be able to enable/disable whether their end users also receive collaboration emails when added to a Box for Salesforce integration folder, as workflows may depend on being notified that this folder exists/has been shared with an end user.

Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.
We would like to be able to custom color code their folders.
22 votesWe will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps: Split this setting and have one titled [Web Browsing]
After testing the Device Trust setting Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps for the purpose of Box Notes and Box for Office, I have noticed that when we enable this, it closes the door on Box web browser usage from any non-company machine (since it doesn't meet the Device Trust setting.) Currently we find it very useful and it is required for us to be able to use Box from non-company machines via web browsers.
It would be excellent if Box Support could separate Device Trust in more depth, specifically this setting Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps

Version-Specific Shared Link Option
Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To
As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).
30 votesFolder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.
-
Permanent Folder Tree View in Webapp (Similar to Windows Explorer/Finder)
Currently we have a 'jump to folder' option that provides a modal for navigating by using a folder tree view. Many customers would like this same tree view of their content as a permanent sidebar in the webapp for faster/easier 1) navigation and 2) context for where they're at in any given folder tree.

If a user invites a collaborator, that they receive an error message if that email does not exist.
Right now, if a user invites someone using an email that does not exist, it just remains in pending.

Folder Settings: Add 'automatically remove invited collaborators' at the folder level (user defined)
Currently, "Automatically remove invited collaborators" can be set up only in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings, but some customers are requesting to set up in Folder Settings (meaning at the folder level) because it enables more granular security settings.
7 votesThe usability complexity of this feature would not be worth the small benefit it would provide to a small minority of users.I would suggest instead instead using the existing workaround of Shared Link Expiration.

Adobe Sign in Integration should be Opt in, not opt out
We have 150,000 accounts in our instance, of which only a handful might have Adobe Sign licenses. I need to turn it off for everyone and allow those with the licenses to turn it on.
1 voteFor this feature to be considered, please talk to your Adobe account team
-
Ability to lock files from within application once they're open
Our users would like the ability to lock a file once they have already opened a file in Box Edit/Box Drive/Box for Office.
They would like the ability to do this within the document without having to navigate back to the webapp or sync to lock the file.
9 votesBox for Office automatically locks a file when it’s being worked on. We don’t currently have plans to do this or Box Edit.
-
Adding Deleted to the "Updates" feature
We want to know when people in our company are deleting files and folders, and potentially have the ability to preview those deleted files.
3 votesThis is not currently planned. One workaround is setting up notifications to let the user know when files are being deleted.
