Doc feedback
The layout and the padding feels weird. This applies to both the navbar as well as the content.

Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.
Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

account switching
Users with multiple Box accounts (e.g., personal, work, etc.) should be able to sign onto all their accounts and be able to quickly switch between the accounts. This could be similar to account switching for Google services, Dropbox, etc. Currently it is very cumbersome to do this. Box has already implemented similar functionality as part of the Box Android app.

List View of Marked For Offline Files
It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

Be able to sort tag search results by name, not just "relevance" and "updated"
When you search for a tag, your only options to sort the results are by "relevance" and "updated". It would be VERY helpful to be able to sort by name on a tag search.

Allow user configurable files and folder list length in list view
As we move file shares into Box, we are getting more and more users who want to see/configure a longer list(or possibly scrollable list) in the files/folder list view. Essentially, they don't want to have to click every 20 files or so to browser their way through a list of 1000 files in a folder -- they just want to see what's there.

Search Existing Templates when creating a new Box Note from a Template
As a Box user, when I am creating a new Box Note from a template, I want to be able to search existing templates (by template name), so that I can easily re-use existing templates created by others in my organization instead of scrolling through the template list.

Open a file in web apps immediately when clicking on link in Box web file browser
Currently, clicking on a link opens a new tab in the web browser with a preview of the file and the option to open the file in a web app. There should be a preference to open the file directly in a web app or to generate the preview screen. The preview screen would be useful if the text of the displayed document could be copied without line breaks at the end of each displayed line. I often open many documents per session to copy snippets, but have to take the extra step of opening the doc in a web…

The view of files and folders in the Web UI should load dynamically, not be paginated.
Currently, the default experience in the web UI is to paginate the view of files and folders, showing just 20 at a time. That's a pretty antiquated way of displaying a long list--most modern websites, including Box's competitors, just dynamically load more items as you scroll to the bottom of the page. I just finished helping one of our users who was very confused by this: he didn't notice the pagination buttons, and didn't understand where his file had disappeared to.

Box drive won't show files that don't sync
We have many department users uploading files to Box via Box drive but sometimes Box drive won't upload all the files due to a certain discrepancy. There is no error on Box drive and the only way to find this is to check for the number files on Box web as compared to the number of files on Box drive for the particular folder. This is very concerning and Box drive should either show the list of files not uploaded to Box or shouldn't allow users to upload files using Box drive. I hope there will be a fix released…

Can we shut off GSuite document edit options
We want to make sure our users are not able to see options for GSuite within our enterprise. We only want Microsoft application options to appear in the drop down for editing documents. We don't want users using Gsuite so having the option isn't a good user experience for us. The less options we have in the drop down the better. It should be a on/off option at the enterprise level for enabling GSuite apps or connectors to GSuite.

Sharing information with people outside my organization.
when a URL is shared to someone they will then have the ability to download. locking a file feature is available, unfortunately, it needs to be performed one by one. the ability to lock entire folders all at once would be very helpful.

Add list of Groups user is currently a member of to the Managed User Screen
In the "Edit User Access permissions" section of the Managed User page, there is a list of all the groups and a column to indicate if the user is a member. Admin must scroll through all the groups (1000's) to find which groups the user is in.
Would like to see a separate section that just lists the groups the user is currently a member of.

Sync multiple accounts to Box Drive
Allow multiple accounts to sync with Box Drive.
Many of us have multiple corporate/personal accounts that require local drive sync'd access.55 votesWe’re not planning a ‘fast switch’ option to allow a user to easily switch between 2 different Box accounts on Box Drive while maintaining all cached data. The only option we have now is that users can ‘logout’ of their current account and sign into another account, but the caveat is that this will delete all their local cached data/MFO settings from Box Drive

@'ing box groups in comments
Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.38 votesThank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

Show message trail for shared files
It would be nice to have a record of the messages I've sent when sharing a file.

Indicate when a file has been shared by me
Indicate when a file has been shared by me. This used to be a feature (an icon would appear next to the file) that I relied on because I don't always remember if I've shared the file or not. Now I may send a certain file more than once to a particular person not remembering that I already sent it.

Support multiple accounts in Windows file explorer.
As a technology consultant I have multiple business Box accounts. I need to be able to easily access all my Box folders from the Windows desktop not just one at a time. OneDrive and DropBox both offer multiple account support in Windows Explorer. Lack of this support is the main reason I am not recommending Box for many of my corporate customers due to this inconvenience

Add description option to 'All files' level to give information/instruction to users
Requesting a description section to allow for information that would always show at the top of the 'All files' view. Potential uses:
- Basic info for new users, pinned to screen they see after login
- Guidance and company updates that could be changed as required
- (Where folder/upload is restricted at 'All files' level) Instruction for users about where to create content1 vote -
Identify version limit limitations
As limits on versions exists - and the most important for us is having access to the earlier versions - we would like a warning to happen when an earlier version is about to become unavailable - least then we know that we need to make some copies or alterations to how our drive is updating our files.
