Keep Cost Center Field populated when user invited as a Managed user
If creating an account and you have to send the user an Invite to come over as a managed user, the Cost Center field (If filled out) will not stay after the user accepts the invite. Forcing you to have to go back and re-add info you may have already included.
I would request that if the Cost Center field is populated on a user creation, that it remain after an invited user accepts their invite to stop double work.

Ability to move deleted trash items to org wide "Vault"
User some times delete trashed items by accident (instead of restoring them), asking Box Admins to raise support ticket to retrieve from the backup.
Also, some organizations have legal requirements or policies to retain files & folders indefinitely, yet want to hide from users when user have decided to deleted completely from their Trash.
This shall hide permanently deleted trashed items from the users, but allowing Box Admins to see/retain them and quickly restore accidentally deleted trashed items.
1 voteThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Box drive to support SAML-based authentication
We use Okta as a primary authentication method for Cloud-based applications like Box.

Upload Completion Notification
I love how I am notified when a set of files are uploaded into a specific folder but I am having one very key issue. I will receive the notification upon upload, but many times because it is 10+ large images, the images are not done uploading. I will review the folder but be unaware that the Upload is not complete. I may see 5 images with 5 still uploading.
Is there a way Box could show us of upload progress? OR possibly send a second notification when the upload is complete?

Notification for Incompatible Characters in file and folder names
We've run into issues with end users not being able to access content from Box Drive because the file or folder is created with a character that it is incompatible with Microsoft's file explorer.
Could you add in a pop-up visual in the web view that points out when you're using a character that will not be accessible from Box Drive?

Add parameter to Activity report to search box for more than 1 year
Currently if you want to look at 5 years of data, you would have to set-up and run the activity report 5 times. Instead of running the report for each time frames, set the date range for the specified time then have the report engine look at the parameter to execute the 5 reports in the time-frame corresponding to each year and label files to indicate time-frames. This way BOX controls resources and the admin would not have to do this a multitude of time to get the report data.

SSO Required - API authorize endpoint behavior not consistent with Core Box
USAF is developing a custom iOS app on Box requiring USAF internal users to authenticate into the app via SSO. With "SSO Required" turned ON, the app redirects users to the Box login page and not the SSO login page on invoking the Box authorize API endpoint. This seems not to be consistent with the Core Box "SSO Required" flow
More details including user flow illustration in the ticket.

Box Drive updates should preserve Mac Finder Favorites
I use Favorites in Finder on my Mac to mark folders that I need to access frequently. But, when Box Drive runs and update, my Favorites are all removed. I then need to take time to reestablish all of my favorites. Box Drive should preserve the links in Favorites. This is especially true since Box Drive does not show the favorites marked it the Box webapp.

Level Up the Salesforce Integration & Increase Doc Visibility/Accessibility
Our company uses the Salesforce-Box integration. We are made up of a set of advisor teams who should only be able to see their clients' files. This works in Salesforce, where all client documents are visible. However, our users were used to accessing client files in the "File Explorer" on their desktop (Finder in Mac), under the Salesforce folder in Box on the desktop. Client folders only show up here if the user has clicked through the client's folders/docs in Salesforce. It would be great if our teams could see all their client folders in the File Explorer without having…

Add 'Only I Sign' Adobe Sign Feature
Add the 'Only I Sign' feature in Adobe Sign, where only they sign a document. Currently this only works if they download it from Box and then re-upload it into Adobe's workflow, but they want to keep all of their users working in Box only. They also have lots of documents that only need the signature of one person.

Display the error message immediately when admin console reports(Folders & Files) failed to export.
When admin console reports failed to export due to limitations(10 million item limitation etc), users can't immediately notice the failure.
We'd like to display the error message immediately, when it failed.4 votes -
Open files from favorites
I'd like to be able to open a file directly from the favorites. That way, I avoid a preview (and its access stats by the way). If the file is not locked then it is opened in my local app. That would be really helpful.

True Client IP vs Accelerator IP in Audit Logs
To improve download speeds, Box automatically leverages "accelerator" hosts on various cloud/hosting providers around the world. When this happens, the "client IP address" recorded in the audit logs is the accelerator IP address, and not the true endpoint IP address. This results in false positives in "impossible travel" analytics, and could result in false negatives. We request that the audit logs be enhanced to capture the true client IP and accelerator IP (where applicable) as separate fields in the logs.

Self CC
When emailing a BOX item to another user, many of our users like to also add themselves in the recipient list. Used to be that your own, personal email would populate within the drop-down, predictive list, and now it no longer seems to. More a quality of life change, but we've heard many times that users would like to see their own email populate in this list, again.

Link to searchable files on a website.
Want a public facing search function that can be deployed on websites with Box as the back end.
Use Case: I have several hundred newsletters in an archive in PDF format. I want a public facing link or window that the public can see without having to login into Box.
The Box embed widget gives me a window BUT is not a good user experience. They don't need to be dragging one cloud onto another or logging into box.
Box is great for storing and updating these files--but not for a public facing display.1 vote -

Ungroup "Tags"
We still need to be able to see all the tags on a file or folder rather having to click on a grouping link once there are more than a few tags.

Add more plan options for individuals. 100GB is not enough to store hardly any of my data.

Pre-defined reporting
Request for Box to create pre-defined reports. Currently, we have to input criteria everytime, reallocate the parameters and reset it up again. Goal is to have admin be able to pre-populate a report thats saved and say run it every Sunday night. Any thought to utilizing Relay to run Manual Start, predefined reports?
