Hi, are you interested in knowing about spelling/grammar/usage errors in Box online training, not incl British vs American English?
Grammar and spelling police here. Just wondering if you'd like errors pointed out so you can correct them. Allowing grammar and spelling errors in training materials, especially those offered online, makes Box seem unprofessional and shady -- like a phishing email or letter from an online lottery telling me I've won money. I've found five errors on just the first page of the Get the apps you need lesson, and they're not British v. American English differences.
Happy to send screenshots.1 vote -
File Request User Configuration - error messaging
When configuring File Request for "enable for select users", users remain in the list even if they have been deleted from Box. If you try to add a new user to the list, you will receive an error message. The reason for the error is because a deleted user is still in the list, however the error is a standard message and does not explicitly say this. So customers do not know why they are getting an error. There should be clearer messaging in the error so customers know what they need to do.

Box Drive compatibility with MacOS Big Sur
It appears Box Drive uses a legacy extension no longer supported with the latest MacOS release, Big Sur.
In addition, the new M1 based machines have been widely applauded for their performance and battery life. I assume this will translate to increased sales.
So when you do make Box apps Big Sur compatible, I would recommend building a universal app supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon.

open location
When I copy or move an item, usually I just want to go to the location where the file has now been copied or moved to. Currently, the only option is to show file or close. If I show file, I have to wait for it to load before I can click the cross and then be in the location I want to be in. If the file is large, sometimes I have to wait for ages.
I envisage something in Box like when you right click something on your desktop and it says "Open file location"

Preview Fortran file extensions such as .f
Would like to preview Fortran file extensions such as .f even if they were simply treated in the same manner as a .txt extension.

Receive Email Notification if Report Times Out
Currently, reports initiated in Box can timeout or 10 million records or exceeds 12 hours to generate. The user does not receive any notification should this happen to know that report will not be received.
Enhancement request would be for the user to receive email notification that report timed out.

Relay Workflow to follow messages/ notifications to activities
It would be super helpful if you could use Box Relay to let a notification follow an activity. I know that you can generate tasks, but in that case I just want to let a certain group of users know that there is new content in a folder. A notification would be the best way to do this.

open synched folder from web
When I work in windows folder/file browser on my PC, I can easily right-click a folder and select to "view on box.com". I would like to be able to go the other way.
* Couldn't there be a function when right-clicking a folder on box.com, that takes me to the synched folder on the PC I work from?
* Or at least "copy link on the PC I work from", so I could paste it into the windows folder/file browser on my PC?

more than one collection expanded at a time
Would love to leave more than one collection expanded at a time
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Allowing more than one collection expanded in the left sidebar might result in negative performance impact, so we have decided to limit it to one collection at a time. As we continue to make improvements to our systems, we will keep this request in mind.

upload speed limit
There should be a possibility to limit the upload speed in order to still being able to work during the upload of larger files. Currently there is no possibility to limit the upload speed which leads to Box using all my upload bandwidth.

Invite users to file request
We would like to inform our users that we have created a file request area for them. As soon as we create a file request we would like to be able to send a number of users a notification that they should upload their files there.
Currently we have to manually copy the URL into an email to inform people, which breaks the flow. We would like the same functionality we see when creating shared links.

Dropdown list is overlapped
When there is not enough space for dropdown list to show on direction of bottom, currently it shows on top, but top is not a appropriate choice because maybe there is less space on top of the menu button.

Ability to restict folder view to only show folders the user owns
Allow ability to restrict folder view to ONLY those folders which the user owns. Either a separate view or something like a checkbox to enable/disable the restriction.
For example, a user is leaving the company and wants to transfer ownership of their folders to another user. There is no easy way to see what folders you own. With hundreds of folders it could take a long time to find the ones you know to transfer them.

Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task
When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.
The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.
Our use case is this:
Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
Finance Director and CFO approve the task.

create folder while making workflow
Allow users when they are building a relay workflow to have the ability to search through a folder structure and create a new folder when they are building a new flow.
This would eliminate the issue of users having to have a predefined folder structure before making the workflow and make it significantly easier to use.
