Report on Sync Errors
Our admin would like to report on sync errors, e.g. user receiving error, date of error, type of machine - Windows vs. Mac, OS X 10.11.4 vs 10.11.6, etc.).
This will allow us to troubleshoot and hone in on issues that may be specific to certain environments, monitor trends in issues, recommend best practices

Support for Differential or Bit-level Sync
We would like support for Sync to recognize differential changes made to a document and only sync the changes, instead of the entire document, especially for large documents.
1 voteThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Usage stats per region of the world (Global stats)
We have global offices / teams dispersed globally. Admin teams currently have no way to monitor Box usage broken down by these teams (workaround suggestion is to create groups by office, but lots of admin overhead).
Suggestion is to use localization settings, IP address, or Box regional setting and categorize by country or region (Europe, APAC, LATAM, NATAM, etc.) to allow admins to report on usage stats by global region. (heat map of the world, etc.) Current reports with an additional column/filter.

EMM Multi-Window Support for iPad
I need to be able to open multiple documents and easily switch between them with tabs (like iOS Safari perhaps) and I often need to display two documents side by side or have two views of the same document.
1 voteDuring our investigation we determined that this flow was not a highly desired capability for how users currently want to work in Box. It would also require a shift in how our application was build.

Customize shared link expiration for collaborators
When folder owners choose to extend collaborator expirations clicking on the Clock icon, it will only extend the preset period.

Ability to adjust the search string, while maintaining the current set of filtering criteria.
As users are searching and adjusting advanced search filters many of times they realize they need to adjust the original search request, and this can be quite cumbersome when they have to repeat the advanced search filter settings.

Preview: Support for Microsoft PowerPoint in-slide animations
We would like to deliver presentation collateral that has animated PowerPoint content. Ideal scenario is to have the sales team be able to present content directly from Box (via tablet) without the need of a third party solution. Introducing additional solutions opens up more risk in terms of sensitive content leakage.

Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview
When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.
In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.
This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.

Pre-Render Previews After File Upload
Currently, Box will only go through the 'generating preview' process when the first user goes to Preview a file.
Request: pre-render files once uploaded such that users (even the first to preview a file) don't have to see the 'generating preview...' progress bar anymore.
1 votePre-conversion (converting the file when it’s uploaded) will only benefit a small amount of users. We will revisit this if user behavior changes.

Direct Integration with the Microsoft Project Desktop & Online Apps
Users using these applications would like to leverage a native Box integration (similar to what already exists in Word/Excel/PowerPoint via Box for Office and the native Box for Office Online integrations).

Ability to create a custom group name that will be displayed on the collaborator list without affecting the SSO integration
Currently, groups only have names unlike user accounts that have names and aliases. However, since we have SSO groups enabled, we have found that is impossible to rename groups without causing issues.
Because of SSO groups, we had to have a specific naming convention for our groups so we can know which groups to send to Box. All our group names begin with COMPANYBOXPD and then the corresponding team name. Since these groups are shown as collaborators, it will be nice to be able to edit the group to display a user friendly group rather than the technical…
1 voteThank you for the submission! This is a reasonable request. However, we will need to hear from additional customers before prioritizing this request.

Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality
Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:
templateKey = template
filters = {"value": 2}Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.
a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.
b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

The ability to customise width of columns
Without this ability, some file names aren't displayed fully in the Content Manager.

Device Limiting
We would like users to limit the number of devices a user can have connected to their Box account at a single time; but would like users to be able to manage those devices themselves, so that when a user gets a new phone they can "remove" their old device from their account settings and log into the new phone without having to contact an administrator.
4 votesThank you for this request!
We will review this with additional demand.
