Create Insights-only co-admin permission
Create the ability to give a user a view of the Insights dashboard without having to give them full reporting permissions. Reporting gives specific data on individual users. This requires greater vetting, particularly if your Box instance contains sensitive data. If an executive wants to get stats from time to time, we should be able to provide the view to Insights without giving them that deeper reports view which may require special data clearances.

Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"
To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.
25 votesThank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

New field that indicates whether that specific folder has any collaborations of its own, i.e. not inherited from a parent
We have a big problem on our hands when it comes to obtaining all of the collaborations a user created inviting others to their content. There simply is no quick way of doing this, especially on users having massive folders. We discovered that the GET action on the /Folders endpoint has an available request field called “hascollaborations” which indicates whether the folder has any collaborations. I really hoped we could leverage this to cut down on the unnecessary calls to the /Folders/{folderId}/collaborations endpoint if the folder being iterated over had no collaborations, but unfortunately it returns “true” even if…

Moveable Uploading window
When editing a file on your desktop, and then save it back to Box, an uploading window shows in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It can block other windows, would be great if we could move it around.

Allow access to embedded file using LEX app (iOS)
Customer is embedding a url to their iframe. Luckily, they could access the embedded file using their android phones from their LEX application. However, iOS users are not able to access the embedded file using their LEX app. But they can access the URL from their browser

Would like a feature that boilerplate to the message box of Send Shared Link
For example, the customer usually uses shared link with Send Shared Link.
However, the customer sometimes faces insufficient information.
So, he thinks he can prevent it if this feature is implemented.1 vote -

Need a better way to track locations of Box Notes
Bread crumbs are very useful on BOX documents and folders to explore relevant related documents, but they don’t exist on the page of Box Notes. You see them in the index on the left, but that doesn’t correspond to the Box Note you happen to be on. I have to hunt & search if I want to see other docs in the same folder. It would be great if this functionality could be added into Box Notes.

If I include a URL in the optional sharing message, my message is lost.
It would be better for Box to display a warning in-line that URLs are not allowed than to have the message just be lost. Even better would be to allow URLs in messages.

iOS SDK
'Mark for offline' capability in SDK. Either read-only or edit-sync is a critical requirement for field worker use cases.
With current SDK developers need to build this which is expensive and risky.

Support the use of Advanced Search with Metadata by External Users
Since the ability to search for documents was sold to us as a feature and now we discover that it is actually NOT a feature that can be used by external users, I believe we will start the search for a new product to replace Box.

Be able to move files on Box online and have it update in Box Drive without having to log out.
When moving large folders via Box online, the folder dissapears within Box Drive. According to Box, this is intended behavior, and requires the user to log out of the software and log back in, which resets what is synced. Box Drive should be able to update folder changes without having to sign out of the account.

Auto Delegation of task
Allow user to set OOO (Out of office) and pick someone to auto delegate the task during his/her absence. This should delegate only tasks assigned directly to the user or if every member of a group is assigned a task. If the task is assigned to a group and marked as "Only 1 member from group to finish", then auto delegation should not happen.

"File Request Link" report similar to the "Shared Link" report
Would like Org level report on what folders have "File Request Links" very similar to the "Shared Link" report. We need to report on what folders are shared publicly.

Better Group Management and Deletion
When managing groups, I would expect to be able to sort by the Members, Folders and Created columns.
I would like to be able to delete more than one group at a time.
When deleting a group from page 3, it returns you to page 1 instead of the page you were on. This is extremely frustrating when you have dozens of groups to remove which are lower in the alphabet. It would be better if you could multiple select groups and delete them. It looks like you can multiple select today but the only options are to Add Folders…
