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…

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.

Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.
However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.
I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.

Mobile Preview log
Currently, mobile app's Preview action of some type of documents is logged as "download." It doesn't show actual actions, so it should be logged as "Preview."
2 votesOn Mobile, we use the download API call within the content SDK to grab the file for Preview purposes, which is why it is recorded as a download.

Request to Add Overwrite/Version Functionality to File Copy Operations via API
Currently the only way to add a version to a file is to download it and upload the new version with the If-Match header.
We are archiving files when a new file version is uploaded to a "main" folder, and to do that we have to download the existing version to our server and then generate a separate request to upload the file.
Ideally, we would be able to combine the requests into one - a COPY (https://box-content.readme.io/reference#copy-a-file) that can overwrite an existing file in the destination folder if the appropriate etag is supplied during the copy request.
5 votesThis is not something we will build due to other roadmap commitments.
Alternatively, you could always upload latest version to “backup folder,” delete file from “current version” folder, then copy “backup folder” version to “current version” folder.
This will get you 100% version history in backup folder and avoid the need to download & upload the file a second time.

SSO auto-provisioning via mobile
We're running into an issue with their largely mobile workforce around SSO auto-provisioning via mobile. There is a pretty significant population of users who have attempted to log in for the first time via the Box for EMM app without having previously created a managed user account through the web app.

Auto Provisioning for Japanese name (lastname->firstname)
When Auto Provisioning option is enabled, the user's name is set "firstname lastname", but we hope to have "lastname firstname".
Currently, Japanese users set firstname information to "lastname" and lastname information to "firstname" in SAML Response.
Firstname and Lastname should be separated like in Salesforce.
1 voteThanks for filling this. Because there is a workaround (though not ideal) to this issue, we are not likely to prioritize this request.

We had a similar “Like” feature for files and it was confusing and not helpful for our users.
We would need to understand why a user would need this and how it would benefit the work they are trying to get done.

Rolling content from deprovisioned users
There needs to be an option to specify a particular user for all deleted users' content to be rolled in to. This could be capped so that LFO doesn't happen, or maybe by number of users in the enterprise.
The other option is for "Inactive" users' content to still be accessible, and the seat no longer counting in the enterprise.
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the performance and user interface to manage users in the Users & Groups tab before we add enhancements to the de-provisioning process.

Upload notifications should notify user of uploads even if their account is the one uploading to a folder
User has set their folder settings to allow notification emails for a certain folder. She only gets email notifications when other people upload to that folder and not when she does. She would like to be able to receive notification emails when she uploads to the folder.
1 voteThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.
