Add shortcuts in editing notes
There is many shortcuts missing that could be very useful for users:
- text justify (left, right, center)
- creating new rows in tables (when creating a table on the go, adding new rows with mouse is very annoying)
- merging table cellsThe ones in tables are especially annoying in my opinion. Without shortcuts using tables is not very useful

Provide an exportable report for Shield Admin for each Anomalous Download alert
Every time an anomalous download alert is received, IT would ideally want to share a readily available report (XLSX / CSV) with the affected user's manager as they would know far more about the content and whether this is abnormal behavior. As it stands today, if the alert is not big then a manual list of folders / files is provided, or we have to run a User Activity Report (which can take some time) and then filter and cut down accordingly.

Additional versioning features
Additional features regarding the version history:
- The ability to manually update the version number of a document on initial upload. This would allow existing version numbers to match version numbers tracked in Box.
- The ability to add the version number tracked in Box to the file name when downloading documents. This would eliminate the need to manually update the version number in file names, which could be prone to error.

Invite all users who have sent an email to the email address associated with the folder
currently, Co-admins are manually inviting users to folders.
Inviting is generated for the number of projects, it takes man-hours each time, so we want to make it easy to invite.For example, we would like to have a mechanism that can invite all users who have sent an email to the email address associated with the folder.
[How to use]
Generate an email address associated with the folder
(It is assumed to be something like an email address for uploading emails)
Give this email address to the user we want to invite
Each user will send an email to this…1 vote -
Make editing password protected shared links clearer
When a shared link to document or folder is already password protected, and a user wishes to change the password, the password screen should be clearer as to how this is accomplished - possibly by an additional Change button or Confirm Changes
Currently this is unclear

Ability of business to enable/disable password protection of documents/folders function
The functionality allowing users to password protect documents and folders, should be manageable at the top level, as this function may cause problems with managing content if over used by users.
A simple enable/disable toggle for each group of users (Previewer, Editor etc) - so that users may/may not have the ability to password protect documents/folders depending on their permissions in particular locations
Admin Console - reporting locations and details of password protected documents and folders

Confirmation of document file protection password on setup
When setting up a password to protect a document or folder, the window to enter password on, should have a second box to re-enter the password, to avoid setting passwords incorrectly

Lifting or pulling up the limitation of 100
Currently, when the box admin wants to enable Box features like Sign, Canvas etc., to partical users and groups, the #s of users and groups are limited to 100.
Could you consider lifting or pulling up the limitation ?
I know that making groups is a solution when the box admin want to add more than 100 employees. It is bit taking time to makie groups, and want to make it more easier.
I would like to know why 100 is set as a limitation.1 vote -
I want to display 'File Description' in the filtering options on the file list.
I would like to display the 'Description' field configured through file requests in parallel with 'Size' or 'Last Modified' on the file list screen. Having to hover over the 'i' icon every time is inconvenient.
ファイルリクエストで設定した「説明」の項目を、ファイル一覧画面で「サイズ」や「更新日」と並列に表示させたいです。いちいち「i」のアイコンにマウスオーバーするのは面倒です。

Upload, copy and paste .DES files.
I can't paste in my Box Drive folder .des files that come from a software I use. I can upload them manually to the cloud in the web app, but those files won't sync either. This never happened with other cloud service software and I can't work without those files and the program won't run.
Please accept .des files so I can use Box for my work.2 votes -
Rename "Content Accessed" event and improve documentation
The "Content Accessed" event in the Admin Report is a bit confusing as documented and labeled today. We had an incident where a folder was available to staff inappropriately and used the Admin Report to investigate those who accessed it. It was reasonable for us to believe that users who had a "Content Accessed" event meant that they had accessed the content in some meaningful way. Instead, it simply means that they viewed the metadata of the file in some way in the portal. That's useful information, but the label should probably be clearer about that -- perhaps "Viewed Metadata"…

Separate download and print restrictions
We would like to use download and print restrictions in Access Policy separately.
Flexible configurations are required, when we handling sensitive files in Box.ex. We don't want to allow them to edit, but I do want to allow them to print.

Only Administrator should assign licenses
Can you escalate this issue to your development team? I believe this should be an enhancement request. The system should have a way to block licenses to be added to the account and only administrators should have the power to create new users. We use other products here, none of them give the users the power to grab a license on their own.
I agree the currently design enhances security by only allowing managed users on the account, this is perfect, but at the same time is causes issues with customers that have a limited number of licenses and have…

Update User Details Password Field
In the Admin Console, under User Details --> Password. " No password created" will show for every user if SSO is enabled for the enterprise. The logic should check the user setting instead of the enterprise setting, to reflect accounts that may not be a part of an organization's external directory.

Ability to filter on App Center
The App Center really needs a filter for OS platform. I'm looking for a media player for Windows that can connect to Box, and almost everything I try is for iPhone, but there is no way to limit the search results to just Windows.

Force removal of local copy of item which has been sync'ed
One of our common workflows on Dropbox was
- Move large file to the (Dropbox, now Box) folder
- Wait for (Dropbox, now Box) to upload that content to the cloud storage
- Right-click on the file and select an option to force it to "Online Only" mode, which would remove the local copy, freeing up the disk space
It seems that there is no way to do that last bit with Box Drive, and there absolutely should be. For many folks, the premise of cloud storage is "get this off my local disk", and waiting until some random cache times out days…

Metadata Instance Update - Remove when no value should not fail
When Updating a metadata instance to remove a value from a specific instance, currently today the API fails if the field has no value.
I would like to propose that if the field had a value it is removed, and if it doesn't - then just ignore the operation. Similar to what add does if the field already has a value, it just silently replaces it.
As an option, in case others are relying on the failure, maybe add a new operation "forceRemove" so that if there is no value, the code will just ignore it and continue with the…
