Clarify in collaborators list which users are active and inactive
Our admin accidentally transferred data from an account to a deactivated account causing collaborators to temporarily lose access.
She pointed out that she could not tell from the list of collaborators which users were deactivated that have something like that would have prevented her from making that mistake.

We would like to be able to use JavaScript to access existing Box folders/files in the Salesforce & Box integration vs using APEX.

We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

Ability to export reports in CSV format
CSV is more useful than Excel when they export logs because some our internal system can import only CSV format (not Excel). It's more convenient to give an option to choose CSV or Excel as export type.
4 votesBecause the admin can save the Excel file as a CSV and we do not want to overpopulate the user interface with too many choices, it is unlikely that we will address this request.

Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files
When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.
5 votesThis should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

Enhanced Locking User Experience / Show 'Would you like to lock?' Pop-Up After Clicking 'Open'
When I go to open a file from the webapp, I want Box to help me be a good collaborator, meaning prompt me with "would you like to lock this file while editing?" before the file actually opens (via Box Edit).
This isn't a request for a different lock/unlock flow with Box Edit -- it's a request for an enhanced experience between when a user clicks the 'open' button in the web app and when Box Edit actually kicks in.
ISSUE: Box's lock/unlock UX is very 'soft' right now, compared to SharePoint's and a traditional Windows file server. As such,…
5 votesLocking file has its own drawbacks about causing files to be inaccessible. We encourage users to use Office Online as a solution to avoid conflicts.

Outlook: Add Ability to Save the Email Itself (the .msg file or a PDF of it), Not Just the Attachment
There are use cases (given Box's retention capabilities) for users to save Outlook emails themselves (.msg files) to Box using Box for Office. The Box for Office integration currently only allows the user to 'Save Attachments to Box', which doesn't save the actual email itself.
SPECIFIC REQUEST: Adjust the 'Save Attachments to Box' button/feature to include an option to save the email itself (as a PDF or the .msg file) to Box along with the attachment.

Automated Email Notifications Based on Metadata Values
Provide the ability to set automated email notifications based on values entered into folder/file metadata.
For example, 'send a reminder email to X people X days prior to the date entered in the 'lease expiration' metadata field on a file.
14 votesDue to competing priorities, we have not planned to work on this feature on our immediate timeline.

Add setting in "Group settings" that would allow users to remove themselves from a group
Users could be presented with the option to remove themselves from a group when they try to remove themselves from a folder that they inherit through a group. This should only be available if the group settings allow this behaviour.
It would be beneficial to have a warning message which shares what other folders will have access revoked.
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We will revisit this feature request as we see more demand from customers.
