Make the "More Options" menu more visible in the Preview mode.
We would like to see something similar to the menu you see (tags, email, download, move/copy, etc.) when you highlight a file name in a folder list, but perhaps smaller icons/buttons.
1 voteWe’re making the ‘more options’ menu much more visible as part of some usability enhancements to the web app that are rolling out currently.

Send notifications to multiple emails
We have a separate instance for managed external users. Because they have to create a dummy email for these externals, the email is not one that is able to receive notifications. They would like the ability to tack on working emails (without the unique email constraint) so that these users can still receive email notifications.
9 votesThis feature, called the Alternate Notification Email, was delivered as an opt-in experience in the Admin Console on Sept 25, 2019. We also support developer APIs for admins who need to configure emails programatically.

Embed Allowing Search Capability within folder
Box embed should allow search within folders when using public/open shared links to the folder. This would be helpful and would allow users who are not logged in to search content shared.
28 votesWith the recent update to the Embed Widget, users can now search inside folders.

Allow concurrent workflow steps
Currently, if a step in a user's workflow needs to get a response from multiple parties concurrently, this is not possible. For example, sending out marketing materials to multiple agencies at the same time and waiting for a response from all. At the moment, we would have to make this sequential whereby the second agency would receive a task only when the first agency has completed one.

Enhance description of "Shared Contacts" setting for User Permissions
Area of product: Admin Console > choose admin/co-admin user > Edit user details > Edit User Access Permissions > Shared Contacts > description bubble
Currently this describes "Allow this user to see all managed users. If enabled, this user will be able to access other managed users in their contacts when inviting collaborators. External users will not show up in their contacts unless they are already collaborating with each other."
However, if this is unchecked it also prohibits Admins/Co-Admins from searching for managed users in Reporting and other areas of the Admin Console. Which is not mentioned or hinted at…

Set content uploader as the workflow owner for auto-start templates
For workflows that are set to auto-start upon content upload, you currently have to set a specific user as the workflow owner in the template. It would be helpful to have the content uploader become the workflow owner in some scenarios.
For example, employee onboarding - I want the workflow owner to be the hiring manager that uploads their new hire's checklist, rather than a set person in HR.

Slow when folder with many files/folders is being displayed in iOS App.
As it would take long time for the folder with many files/folders to get displayed, the ask is to improve performance to show folder content faster.

Add a personal message box when inviting a collaborator to a FILE
Currently this process is completed via the Box Web interface. When we grant access to a folder, we are given a personal message text box that allows the user to leave a comment, or instruction for the audience the user is sending the collaboration to. Currently, when sending an invite to collaborate on a FILE, the user must send a separate email, giving direction to the employee receiving the collaboration invite to a file. Having this enhancement added would remove one step of inviting a collaborator to a file.

Make Classification One- Step/Right click for end users
Governance + Webapp
We would like to have a simpler way of adding classifications. Currently, users have to click into the document, then click details, then add classification tag on the bottom. We would like to have a simpler way such as adding Box Governance options to the "More Options" drop down menu
