Auto Expiration of Collaborations
For automatic expirations of external collaborators:
Add criteria to automatically remove an external collaborator after they have not accessed content for X amount of time instead of a fixed day amount. This way, after an external collaborator has not previewed a piece of content in X amount of days, they will be removed. Makes it less manual to extend external collaborators if the system is removing them for us because they are not accessing a folder.

explorer copy direct link
Explorer/Finder Context Menu "Share direct link".
Currently the context menu for files in Box Drive only handles copying to the clipboard the Shared Link. We want to restrict the use of Shared Links as much as possible and would prefer if Explorer/Finder would copy the direct link, which is the one that opens when we click "View on Box.com".

A method of Direct message or chat to a user.
Besides notifications, we would like to have a way to DM or chat a user about changes to content.
Comments are limited in characters and will also appear to others. This is why we would like a way to message a user directly within Box.

Fix the Preview of Excel file versions
Currently, previewing older versions of Excel files does not work. No matter what version is selected, the current version of the file is displayed. The causes users to think that versioning is not happening OR that they have lost all prior versions. When users download a previous version of the file, it has the correct content for that version.

Notify me when a file is unlocked by another collaborator
When a file is locked for editing by another user, on a case-by-case basis, I would like to be notified via email when that file is unlocked.
Either:
- a file-setting that always notifies me after a user unlocks a specific file or
- a one-off subscription to a file when it is locked that I can set that notifies me via email when that file is unlocked. After this one-off notice occurs, the subscription would be deleted.

Treat .todo files as plain text
There is a plugin for Sublime Text that lets you create .todo files for task lists. These are just plain text files so it would be great if they could be previewed and treated as plain text. I'm mainly interested in being able to use the versioning to see the history of these files.

Email notifications for uploads to a folder are very delayed
We would like to request the email service that is responsible for sending upload notifications to be in real time so we do not waste time having to double check with collaborators if they have uploaded something yet.

Improve performance when performing content search queries in admin console
We have 30+TB of data in our enterprise and currently, performance of search queries when searching for content in the admin console is painfully slow. Confirmed with Box Support that the issue is NOT on our end and leads me to think that there is certainly room for improvement when searching content at scale.

Add the feature for documents to upload as a new version when they are dragged directly over an existing document in box!!!!
To avoid having to save new version of documents, you should allow users to drag documents (from an email for example) onto another document in box. This would then prompt you to, "upload new version" or "upload separate document". This would save users the pain of having to download new versions to their computers before selecting the "upload new version" feature.

Alert when Password Reset is coming due
We have our users set to reset every 90 days. We find this consitently sneaks up on our users and they end up with expired passwords and then have to reach out to our IT department for assistance. This is mainly an issue with our Drive or Mobile app only users. Your website handles it well if they use the website they will be prompted. If they are on the Mobile app it stays logged in and breaks. (Shows folders and can be navigated but unable to see files) I would greatly appreciate it if we at least had to…

Metadata table(row: files, column: metadata keys)
We are looking for a table type of view of files(row) and metadata keys(column), that allows us to be able to configure their own views of data in Box.
It allows us to...
- configure the view with applying metadata templates(can select the keys to show)
- filter and sort the view
- update metadata directly from this view
- export the view of data to a csv fileThis sort of solution helps users to reduce the time spent for searching the content and updating the metadata values(and it would be competitive with SharePoint library view).
90 votesA box-native metadata table is not currently on the roadmap, but we have launched our metadata query toolkit alongside a content-explorer element that can emulate the same experience.

We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses
We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses
(For example, register the IP address list of our proxy server )We believe it is the best to be able to specify a list of accessible IP address range on the apps in the application registration screen

Map Trash on Box.com to Box Drive App
This is very useful to users who deleted a file accidentally on Box Drive App to recover it without opening Box.com.
I once deleted one file through Box Drive, and it prompted that it would be deleted permanently and Stop me from undoing. I did not realize that it still can be retrieved from Box.com. If we have a Trash folder on Box Drive App that maps to the Trash on Box.com. That would be fantastic.

Ability to accept invitation request to “Join Enterprise” via Mobile app
We would like a way to see and accept invitation request for “Join Enterprise,” not only in Web browsers but also in Mobile [Box for iOS/Android] too.
At the moment, users are unable to confirm and click “Accept” for the invitation request, when they log-in via [Box for iOS/Android].
When there are many users who uses iPads only, it would take so much time and effort for them to access to Box via Web browser everytime, only to accept the invitation.11 votes -

"Copy Local Link" in the right click menu.
There is a "Copy Shared Link" in the right click menu that creates a link to the file or folder on the Box web. I would like a similar function that creates a link to the local file system, replacing the first part of the path with "%USERNAME%" or "%USERPROFILE%". With this function it would be possible to send links to files in the local file system.1 vote
