Sharing folders takes too many clicks
It takes too many steps to share. When box first came it was awesome- 1 click to create a folder and 1(2?) clicks to share. Now it is 5 (five!!!!) steps to be able to put the folder link into "pasting" into email position. Why are you yet another company who along with increased success make it worse for its users? And contacting you regarding this issue is such a hassle- there is no direct "contact" information to voice this issue. That communicates that you really show no interest in us users.

Ability to download comments and print comments
Would like the ability to download and/or print comments associated with a file. Perhaps via additional selections to "Download Comments" and "Print w/Comments".
I understand downloading comments may need to be a separate file as the content could be in various application types and comments are not created in that document type. Printed files convert to PDF so it would be great if the comments could be converted to PDF and added directly to the printed file.
Downloading and printing comments has been a request on the Box Community site from multiple people who have also listed some of their…

Add Make Available Offline control to Explorer/Finder toolbar
We are pushing our users to start using Drive instead of Sync. Our helpdesk team brought up that they are concerned that the current UI for MFOing content (right click file, click “Make Available Offline”) is not intuitive for end users. They are requesting a button for “MFO“ to be surfaced on the top toolbar of the Windows Explorer window when an item is selected, so that the option is visible without having to right click the item.

Show all groups in Content Manager
We'd like to target all groups in content manager in the admin console. Search results currently shows 1st 10,000 groups, but does not show groups created after the 10,000th group. We would like all of our groups to be shown in the content manager.

Notify users of product updates in-app
Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.7 votes -

Restrict Classification edits to Governance menu
A admin can access the Classification template in the Metadata page and delete values of classification. That makes errors. Classification should be only accessible via the Governance menu and not via the Metadata menu.
3 votesThank you for the feedback. This specific use-case isn’t planned at the moment.

Allow collaboration with secondary email addresses/alias
Our users have email addresses ending with <company name>.bw and the UPN is ending with <company name>.com.
Box treats <company name>.com and <company name>.bw as different IDs and Box only logs through SSO, so account is validated through UPN only which is <company name>.com.
When users login with <company name>.com they are able to login to box but they are unable to see the files which have been shared with <company name>.bw id.
When any file/folder is shared with <company name>.com id users do not receive any email because the primary SMTP has been setup with <company name>.bw.2 votes -
Report on files containing PII
We would like the ability to run a report which will identify files with PII in our environment, such as social security numbers or credit card numbers. Currently, notification is provided upon upload of the content, and only if the customer has governance and the appropriate content security classifications

Allow SVG logos in Enterprise Branding
Box uses an SVG to keep their logo crips on high DPI displays. I want to be able to upload an SVG in Enterprise Settings > Branding to get our logo crisp as well. PNG files aren't cutting it on high resolution displays on any basic Mac these days.

Expose Metadata (EXIF, Codec, Duration, DPI, Resolution, Rating, etc.) with a "Properties" or "Get Info" like appraoch
Both Windows and macOS can easily expose more info - this includes the rich metadata in any kind of file.
It'd be nice to have an "All Properties" or "More Info" type of file that displays a files full metadata.
This data is already baked into the file and only needs to be exposed or indexed for display/searching.
Examples:
EXIF (camera, model, photographer, exposure settings, etc.), IPTC (keywords, location, description), Movie FPS, Movie Duration, Movie Codec, Movie Audio Channel Count, Image Resolution, Image DPI, Office Document Author, etc.Workflow:

Add refresh button to Box Drive
Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.

Move uploaded files (via an Automation) to different folders based on the file type.
Use case: Users could bulk upload a range of file types (docx, image pdf, audio etc) into a single folder that redirects each file based on the file type to different folders for different skills processing.
Example: a word doc and an audio file could be uploaded to the same folder the word doc gets auto moved to a folder that triggers a skill to extract concepts however the audio file is moved to a folder that triggers a speech to text skill (the text could then be auto moved to the same folder as the word doc for concept…2 votes
