Unify nomenclature for permission levels between mobile and web clients
We've noticed that the same feature is called differently in Desktop-browser, iOS app and Android app
Specifically the link type 'Invited people only' is called 'People in this folder' in iOS (which I actually like better) and 'People in this file and folder' in Android
Can you pass this feedback onto the product team? I don't think it makes sense to be inconsistent between the platforms

Universally apply multiple templates to a file
Universal metadata fields:
Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
A metadata template can be applied, but within…7 votes -
Allow bulk actions to be interrupted (such as copy/move/restore/delete)
When users copy / move / restore / delete a large number of items, we want them to be able to cancel if they notice a mistake along the way.
Currently, when processing a large number of items in Box, we need to wait until the process is completed even if we notice a mistake.
When processing large numbers of items, processing may require several days.
During that time, folders and files are locked.
Please make it possible to interrupt the process on the way.69 votesDue to higher priority initiatives, this has been deprioritized.

Box Tools - Excel as default application for CSV and XLS
We would like Box Edit to have Excel as the default application for all excel files, including CSV.
Right now we run into an issue with CSV files where it is necessary to perform an operation to copy and then paste to Excel from Notepad. (Since opening CSV files might cause garble due to a character code (UTF-8), we are opening Notepad first and then open Excel files)
Another workaround would be editing the registry which is risky and inconvenient - which is why we would like Edit to automatically open CSV with Excel as the default60 votesWe don’t plan to implement this exception in Box Tools. However, we’re working on a related solution: the ability to open files in Finder/Explorer via Box Drive, where you can then choose to open them with a different app. Stay tuned for updates.

Get a list of all collaborators for a box folder
I want to get a CSV file with all collaborators for a box folder. The fields should be the same as on the Collaborators page. This needs to be available for end users - not just for box administrators. I need this so I can copy the internet IDs from one folder and add them as collaborators on a different folder. Doing this single name at a time is not practical.

I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails.
I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails. I used to receive emails but I don't anymore. Why did that change??

For files, folders and users name, we need to use U+10000 - U+10FFFF in Unicode characters.
Today, we can only use BMP in Unicode characters on Box.
However, Windows OS supports many Unicode characters(eg, emoji), besides BMP, so this can be a problem in data migration from a file servers to Box.
Also, in CJK, Unicode characters other than BMP are used in personal name, so we consider this to be a big issue.
We hope to have many Unicode characters available everywhere on Box.

Option to only have selected users have access to BOX mobile.
We currently store extremely sensitive information within our BOX system and due to the sensitive information we have disabled the option for BOX to be on any other devices other than desktops, for all users. Is it possible to create an option that would override this option to allow only selected users to have mobile access?

Allow users to REPLY TO folder invitations
When I invite a user to a folder, they receive an email.
Today the email subject is:
My Name has invited you to work together in "Folder Name"
The From in the email is:
My email address on behalf of My name noreply@box.comIt would be extremely helpful for users to be able to reply directly to the invitation back to me. Instead, the users get an NDR.
We work with several other providers, and their notifications have the reply to: set as the user sending it.

Provide folder navigation path while previewing file in web app
In the Web App, while viewing folder contents a usable full path navigation function is provided at the top of the page. However, if selecting a file all that is available at the top is a link to the folder the file resides in. It would be helpful and consistent to provide the same folder navigation option.
