We want to use the Box embed widget to display PDFs for the public on our website. But the widget is too cluttered for public consumption.
The embed widget would be much more useful if it wasn't cluttered up with things like who uploaded the file, the file size, a login window (which is super confusing for a public website) and so on.
There needs to be a plain vanilla embed widget or better yet, the ability to turn on and off the extra clutter.

Get documents into and out of Box Notes from other formats
My organization likes Box Notes for their online-collaboration support. But when we have existing documents, we can't get them into a Box Note. And if we want to get them out, we can't do that either.
Add import and export support to Box Notes. I'd be delighted with Markdown, but my organization can work with just about any open format. Or publish your own proprietary format. XML or JSON, we don't care! Just make it possible to get documents into and out of Box Notes.

Provide a glossary?
Seat, user, internal user, external user, collaborator, link sharer, editor, viewer, “inviting collaborators,” “sharing links,” and more - that's a LOT of jargon. How about providing a glossary of your terms for the uninitiated?

Separate color or icon for user-owned folder
When browsing user content in the admin console, I often need to determine which folders are owned by the user whose content I'm viewing. If there were a separate color or icon for folders that the current user owns, I wouldn't have to open every collaborated folder to check ownership.
This could also help users delineate which folders they own and which are owned by others. It would be a big help with communicating best practices around folder ownership.

Advance warning before password expiry
Please add advance warning before password expiry.
As of today, when password expires box disconnects you with no prior warning. Unsaved work may be lost, it may be an inconvenient time to reset password etc.
It would be helpful if Box sends an advanced notice, allowing the user to reset password several days prior to final expiry .

O365 Collaboration Speed Improvement
Whatever API is being used with your Microsoft partner is causing a diminished experience when collaborating with more than 10-12 users in an Excel spreadsheet compared to Google Sheets. I understand that these platforms are fundamentally different and handle collaboration with their own set of customized tools, but the experience in collaboration for Excel for numerous users should be as smooth as working on SharePoint or OneDrive. We don't allow Google in our workflow, collaboration in Excel is laggy, slow and terrible.

Fix what you broke!
Recent updates to your service has broken every link and my customers can not access these files until I modify each and every link from the old method to the new method. This is the second time you have done this in the past five years. Seems like a simple fix by your developers to create a batch file to fix all existing links automatically.
This is an example of what needs to be modified for each file I have stored on Box and wish to share with customers...and like I said, I have been down this road with Box…

Box Drive: Display pop up warning when copy / move large number of items
Just like below warning pop-up displayed in WebApp, Box Drive shall pop up a warning to let the user know when large number of files / folders are going to be copied / moved. (also to prevent accidental copies / moves)
Copy Items
(!) This operation is not immediate and may take some time.
You are about to copy 9000 items to the folder 'Project Folder 01'. Due to the large number of items, this operation may take up to several hours to complete. During this operation, content within this folder may not be available for access. Do you want…
32 votesDrive should surface a pop-up when operations involving >8k items are initiated, in alignment with the current threshold on Box.com
If there are other considerations that should be taken into account to improve this feature (e.g. configurable thresholds), please add a comment. Status will remain as on roadmap for the time being.

Mac quick look
Box Drive needs the ability to show thumbnails in Finder on Mac and I need to be able to quick look the files even that have not been previously opened. If this isn't coming, I will be switching back to box sync.

Box Updates Daily Report
The idea is, instead of getting a flood of emails or notifications throughout the day to rather get a summary of everything that was changed in the day or "A Daily Report." This could also be a weekly report for users who do not want updates throughout the week flooding the email.
This makes it so all the notifications can still be received by each individual without causing issues of too many emails.

Direct Link to Open File in Office Online
Currently, you can create a shared link to an Office file that will cause it to open in Box. You must then click the option to open it in Office Online.
It would be nice to have a link option that takes you directly to the page to edit the file in Office Online, while still having the file living in Box. Much like a direct download link, but instead, a direct edit link for the integration.

split screen 'saving' note is in a terrible spot
So . . . I often use a split screen on my Mac with a text on the left and Box Notes on the right. When I take notes in Box Notes, the cursor eventually descends to the bottom right of the
split-screen window as I type. No problem there. BUT . . . then the 'saving . . . ' oval message pops up from the Box Notes program and obscures the words I'm actually typing. Then the oval messages 'saved' in the same spot. I have to hit return several times to move the text up so that…1 vote -
Select from favourites when copying or moving
I move and copy files to and from favourite folders a lot. Each time I do, I have to navigate through the hierarchy to find the right folder. It would be good if you could select from your favourites when moving or copying (as well as allowing full navigation). This would be especially useful to those of us who work on our own instance of Box, but also with collaborators.

Shield Alert - mark as resolved
On the dashboard for Shield, you see a list of alerts generated through threat detection policies. We'd like to see the functionality where end users could mark an alert as seen and/or resolved so everyone who monitors the Shield alerts would know whether it's been resolved or open. This is similar to a ticketing system, but a simple notes body on the alert where someone could put an explanation of their response to the alert would greatly enhance visibility and drive better usability. Thanks!

Relay: Folder picker, select folder in search
When choosing a folder when building a relay, there is a search box at the top. Often you will know the name of the folder you want to select, however, from the search results you can't put the dot in the folder name.
Instead you have to search for the folder that contains the folder you want, then find the destination folder by scrolling down the list so that you can put a dot in the select box.The ask is to make searching and then selecting the folder one smooth operation
