Box Notes section on mobile app
Similar to the web version of Box, it would be great to have a button that takes you to all Box Notes. Having this consistency between the web app and the mobile app would help improve the user experience.

Office Online Only Setting
A setting that folder owners could implement that makes it so the document can only be opened/edited with Office Online.
38 votesShield's download and print restrictions can prevent non owner/co-owner collaborators from downloading sensitive content based on classification and still allow them to open/edit the file with Office Online.

Freedom to move folders
Content sprawl is our #1 challenge. Please let us organize our folders. We don't want to interfere with the permissions, but I want to have an "Active Projects" folder and a "Project Archive" folder where I can drag and drop those relevant folders in.
107 votesMoving shared folders is not on the near-term roadmap. We understand the massive importance and we hope that a new product development to be released in 2020 will help address content sprawl.

.ics (Outlook invite) Preview
Can we please previous .ics (Outlook calendar invite) files in some way through Box? We have had so many use cases where we keep a .ics file on Box and share out a link to it so employees can download it any add it to their calendar.
Unfortunately, currently, when they open that shared link it says "error" and our employees think it doesn't work and it's not there. I know we are familiar with Box and know to just download it because it is there, but less confident users see this as a huge barrier.

Short cut link for the file in Box Drive should be available
Windows shortcut link for the file in Box Drive is broken if the BoxDrive cache is deleted. If the shortcut exists, the file in Box Drive should be opened as far as it exists.

Download all versions of a single file at once
If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.
For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

Ensure language change in Box.com also displays in applications, especially in dialog boxes, warnings and in the Box group on the Ribbon.
When I change the display language in Box.com to French, for example, the dialog boxes for Box in the apps (e.g., Word, Outlook etc.) are still in English. Any info or error messages in English, not in French. A good example is the attachment message that pops up asking if you want to save the attachment to Box and attach the file. Also the Box group in the ribbon is still in English, and the tool tips there are also in English.

Russia
Provide customers who do business in Russia with a Zone in Russia for Multi-Zone Support.
2 votesThere is no existing cloud infrastructure we can utilize for a Zone in Russia, and there are security challenges beyond that to operations there

Multiple Pages for Filtered Notifications
In the Web App under Notifications the filtered views (anything other than All Messages) is limited to 50 items, and you do not have the option to go to the next page.
For example our HR department set Tasks for each employee to review their Job Description. They were hoping to be able to do away with using a spreadsheet to track emails by seeing who was left under their Sent Tasks. But they are still using the spreadsheet and manual reminders since they weren't able to access more than 50 assigned tasks to send reminder emails.

Android File Association Fix
On Android, other apps prompt you to "open with" when opening a file there is no association for (ps1, vbs, lang of your choice). However Box makes no such prompt. Please update Box Android to offer an "open with" dialog like other apps have.

Allow user to search or filter within Feed for users, etc
Be able to filter for a specific user or content in Feed. If I'm in Feed and know a co-worker updated a file in the last day or so I want to be able to specify that user (or maybe other search criteria) and just filter on that user. Or, when a user feed is there, be able to click on that user to see all her activity (right now it pulls up a profile).

File Type request: .log files (text)
A lot of applications output their logs with the extension .log. These are just text files (.txt) with a .log extension. Unfortunately, files with .log extensions can't load in preview. Please allow .log files to load in preview (for desktop and mobile interfaces).
28 votesThanks for the suggestion of this addition. We are not currently planning to add this functionality, but will keep the post updated for future.

Ability to remove read-only shared Box Notes
When someone send you a box note link, it's automatically and permanently synced to your account's box notes as read only. Currently, there is no way to remove them, unsync, them, or hide them. This causes synced box notes to be polluted with non-editable documents which serve no purpose other than to add to clutter.

Allow for video to be inserted into Box Notes.
I would appreciate the ability to embed videos onto Notes pages for easy viewing – on the page – by page visitors. Even video uploads aren't allowed.

sort
We can sort the items in a folder by size but the column of size does not show the size if the items are subfolders; instead it shows the number of files. Suggest to make it consistent or add a new column (switchable between showing "Size" or "Number of items").

viewer uploader edit file name
Would like to explore a custom permission level - between Viewer-Uploader and Editor, which would have all of the Viewer-Uploader rights, as well as the ability to "Edit File Name".
The use case for this is the following - some users upload documents to a folder, but then need to be able to rename the documents. Renaming the documents before upload isn't an option due to specific workflow constraints. Giving Editor permission is not an option as there's been negative experiences with users accidentally moving or deleting customer folders.
Thanks

Custom notifications using Box API
Using Box API there is no way to create custom user notifications. It might be helpful to send some information to the customer that some documents have been moved, imported, etc. A user can monitor the folder but this would be a valuable extension for the API for platform developers.
12 votesThanks, this is a great suggestion but not one that is currently on our roadmap. In the mean time, you can consider using Webhooks to get relevant events and make use of a simple transactional email/sms API such as those provided by Twilio/Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send notifications based on those events.

Create Custom URL for shared links in Box Drive
Right now a link can not be customized as the customer is used to when using the WebApp. Only “Copy Link” is available.
