Move "Upload" button away from "New" button
Placement of "Upload" Button next to "New" Button is confusing and causing mis-clicks. Request to move it so that it is not immediately next to "New".
I usually drag and drop for uploads, so not sure the Upload button has much value where it is. Whereas I am regularly using "New" to create folders, bookmarks, files, etc.

Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph)
Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph). This will enable the user to find documents must more quickly than just using AND, OR, and NOT.

Require Passwords at Admin Level
As a security feature, it would be helpful to require passwords for all shared links. Right now they are only required at the User level and it is optional. It would be very helpful as a security feature to allow admins to mandate a password for all shared links.

Box needs a widget that is not iFrame based so that it complies with eBay's listing policy.
Box needs a widget that is not iFrame based so that it complies with eBay's listing policy.
1 voteIf you would like to develop a web application that uses Box UI components visit https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/
Note that this will not comply with the eBay listing policy either which is quite strict on use of external sources. You’ll simply have to rely on links or some of the ebay specific providers that have developed solutions for this.

multiple users in one document
Create a notification that pops up inside the document when two users have the same document open and when one user makes changes. This feature is in Drop Box and helps cut down on multiple versions of the same document being saved.

Thanks for your great suggestion! We know this capability would be hugely valuable. This is not something we’re currently working on, but we’re always considering feedback from customers like you in how we work with Microsoft to enhance secure productivity and collaboration.

Box for Outlook (OWA)
Box for Outlook integration needs to support moving multiple emails to a box folder, currertly only one email can be filed at a time. Also you only have the option of saving the email message as an .eml which is frustrating as these file dont preview within Box Web. Are you able to have an option for .msg.
Another great use would be able to move the email to Box rather than a save, which ultimately a copy.
Also ability to show some box folders in Outlook and drag and drop to those folders would be a great feature.2 votes -
Identify locally any failed uploads
Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the offending…

Box file URL available when viewing through Salesforce
It would be great if we could grab the original Box URL for a file or folder from the integration within Salesforce. Since we share many documents internally, it is so much easier and faster to grab the direct link from Box, which creates several separate steps (and defeats the purpose of keeping our users in Salesforce). Being able to pull the Box URL directly from Salesforce would create additional efficiencies.

Provide link to Box root or parent folder from within Notes view
While one can navigate to the parent folder when in preview/edit mode on a Box Note by clicking the ellipsis, it's not obvious to those that don’t know about it and can’t find it.
This lack of navigation is likely because of the reliance on using tabs to differentiate notes from the rest of Box. However, this has its shortcomings, as it relies on opening up notes from within Box. I have some bookmarks that go directly to a Box note, so I could never before find a way to get out of the notes view when opening notes this…

New App Management UI needs improvements
The New App management UI was released the week of Feb 3 2020. We would like to see a few enhancements:
1) Provide a way copy or export the whitelist of client IDs for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
2) List the App ID or App Name along with the Client IDs that are whitelisted for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
3) Provide better explanation for each section…12 votes -
Create a Task to provide a notification
Create a Task to provide a notification to a user. For example if a document has been moved, this Task would create a notification to Bob that the file has been moved. He shouldn't have to do anything with this or approve or complete it, just be notified.
25 votesThank you for the feedback. We do not currently have plans to add a “no action required” task type to our Tasks feature. That said, please continue to add use cases here, as we may consider in a future planning cycle.

Need error log print or output option
My Box context menu says "Error updating 28 items." I look at the errors, figure out the problem, and want to send the file list to the person who is causing the problem. Oh wait, there's no way to do that. I can't capture the text displayed, I can't forward it, I can't do anything.
Please add a "print log" function or permit the user to somehow get info out of the display window. I need to send the details to another person.
Thank you.

Create Relay Tasks based on dates defined in metadata
We would like to create tasks based on dates that have been assigned to the document through metadata. For example a task would be created on September 20 if that date was specified in metadata. We have several scenarios where documents "expire" and we need to renew them. These dates are variable based on when the original document is loaded into Box.

We do not have this feature planned in short team and have this feature in the backlog for next year. We will consider this again next year and reach out for input and feedback.
Thanks,

macOS SDK support
It would be great to see full macOS support in the Box SDK.
I realize that the name of the Apple-flavored SDK is "box-ios-sdk", but "osx" is listed as one of the supported platforms. It compiles and links just fine, but the code path bails on OAuth sign in support.
It looks like most of the SDK would work fine for API calls post authentication, so I think it's mainly a matter of wiring up browser-based sign-in like Dropbox does for their SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox. This seems to be confirmed by a response from @sujaygarlanka in a submitted GitHub issue: …

more keystrokes = worse user experience
In the last month, when I create a new folder I've noticed I now have to tab into the field to name the folder. It didn't used to work this way. Previously, upon creating a new folder, the cursor would automatically be waiting for me to type in the folder name. This isn't the first time that Box has updated a feature to require more keystrokes. The same thing happened with the Share>Create Link feature sometime within the last year. It takes one or two more keystrokes to create an open sharable link now.
So this request is specific in…

limit deletions
My staff need the ability to upload & download various files, but I don't want them (or me!) to have the ability to delete large swathes of my database. I can't find a way to limit this, in Box

Make contents of Apple iWork files fully searchable
Currently Apple iWork files (.key, .numbers, .pages) are not searchable on Box, even though uploading, previewing and editing them on Box is possible. As our company mainly works with these Mac files, this is a big limitation for us. It would be great if all iWork formats can be search using the full text searched functions in Box.
As a Box user, I want to be able to do a full text search on Apple iWork files, so that I can find them based on their contents when I do not remember their file names.

Password Forgot Link should not be on the initial Login Screen of the Mobile app.
I believe the forgot password link on the initial Box Login Screen should be removed from the app. The scenario requires you to enter in your Username First (Email). At that point Box knows if the person is SSO or not. If the person is SSO it should bring them to their IDP. If it not it should provide a password dialog box and the option to reset the password.
An option to reset the password should not be present before you enter in your username(Email).
