  3. Search, File type dropdown UX

    Under search, file type selection, the dropdown does not go away once I select/click a file or folder type. I feel like I have to click away from that dropdown to add any additional filters like that I want to search within the current folder. However, as soon as I click away from the dropdown, the search executes and shows results, without allowing for me to be able to specify that I only wanted to search within the current folder.

  5. Support the SheetView when using Excel Online by Box Edit

    When filtering an excel file on Box by Excel Online, the filter does reflect to the other users. We would like an option to have the independent filter between users. For Microsoft environment, the Sheet View is now generally available so we want the same functionality on Box as well.

  6. Remove folder from desktop

    I would like to be able to not have the Box folder sitting on my desktop and only sit in the Finder's sidebar, along with GSuite, or Creative Cloud for example.

    The reason for this is: 1 it adds clutter to the desktop. 2 on Macs, having folders and files, especially big files there, actually will slow down the performance of the computer. Not many people realize this. The items on the desktop are constantly being pinged by the computer using resources.

  8. "Smart Access: Download restriction" for G-Suite

    We want "Smart Access: Download restriction" to control the download/printing capability of G-Suite apps. We want the integration just like office online which restrict download/print on office online apps.

    For security perspective, we want to minimize the risk of data breach, so we are planning to store the confidential files on box and restrict the content to be downloaded to the devices. However currently if user opened the files on G-Suite, the files can be downloaded or printed.

  9. Create collections based on metadata.

    Add the ability for users to be able to create collections based on metadata. This should speed up the process of adding files to collections and staying organized. It would be additionally helpful to be able to use multiple tags within a collect. For instance, If I wanted to add all contracts that are from 2012 then I might use two tags: "Contracts" and "2012".

  10. Add header and title to Box Note table feature

    The customer would like to be able to fix certain parts of Box Notes to be visible at all times.
    e.g header(row, column etc) of tables ,the title of section

    As you fill in Box Notes, the page scrolls down naturally and then parts of Box Notes above become invisible whether they are a "header" or a "title" of table.
    The customer wants these to be visible at all times even if you scroll down.

    An example would be like the "subject" part at the top of an email in Outlook, which is something that is always visible regardless of…

  11. Email notification for new reports available in My Box Reports Folder

    Please add a new feature to enable email notifications when Box reports I request becomes available in My Box Reports folder.

  12. "Feature Request: Create Bookmarks for Box Files Accessible by Others"

    Ability to create a Bookmark file linking to file stored in Box quickly:
    We'd like to get a feature like creating a shortcut on Windows,
    1. There is an option to create a bookmark on each file
    2. People can select folder where created bookmark file is located into
    Unfortunately, collection cannot help us out since collection can only be seen by yourself and others cannot see someone's collection.

  16. Admin account to not consume a license

    At present, an admin user consumes a paid-for subscription which is a waste of a subscription/money.

    As an admin, I just perform admin tasks and don't actually use the service to share files.

    Would it be possible to have an admin account which can only perform admin duties to ensure paid-for subscriptions are used by actual users?

  17. Collaborator Clean Up

    Collaborator Clean Up - In Account Settings / Collaborators, we want to add the ability to click on any collaborator and see what files and folders they have access to. When looking at the list, have a button available to remove them from specific folders as needed. This will be especially helpful when performing a CBN, Audit or Digital Clean up.

  19. Get details on shared link without owner

    Airbnb and other companies when going through a large
    deprovision of accounts run into issues where someone shares a link of the file after the owner is
    no longer there and the collaboration is removed. But with just the file link, there is no way for the admin to get anymore details on the file.

    The feature request is the ability to get more details on a file through the link.

  20. Open file from UI Elements without approval

    Ability to open a file from UI Elements Open With with Box Edit without being prompted to Approve/Deny to proceed.

    Currently, every time a file is opened from UI Elements, Box Edit displays the prompt and asks the user to Approve/Deny before the user can start locally opening and editing the file. This adds friction to user experience, and we want the option to not display this prompt and auto-approve the file open from UI Elements
