Add configuration to specify a folders data center
Add the ability to allow files to be stored across multiple data centers. We have multiple offices around the world being able to locate the files closer to where they are needed will address our performance & availability concerns.
This should be configurable by folder and inherited to the sub folders.

Support Microsoft linking
Formulas referencing external source files are used in Excel models and when linking Excel to PowerPoint. The ability to change data in a source file and have the updated data flow through to any/all linked files stored in different locations does not work.
The ”updating links” function does not work as the formulas are not referencing the source file in Box Cloud, but instead are mapped to a temp copy on the local machine

Only allow submission of an invite form if the custom text length is acceptable
Regarding the new 254 character limit on custom messages in collaborator invites:
If there is an invalid email address in the top field, it is highlighted with a red message and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.
If there is an invalid message length in the bottom field, then it should be highlighted in red and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.
Or, just prevent that field from containing more than 254 characters. Some sites include a "remaining characters" counter next to the window to make this limitation clear.

adding code to end of URL so content displays expanded automatically when a folder link is shared.
Can you add some sort of feature so that we can control how content in folders display when we share folder links? Right now, content automatically displays in a list view and then you can zoom in to show a larger/expanded view of content.
Can you make it so that we can add code to the end of the url link that will make the content display in the expanded view automatically? Or is there another way to change the preferences so that when we share folder links it automatically displays the content expanded?
Thanks!

Make it easier to create a free account for external collaboration
free users account creation is difficult so this lead to lower the usage of external collaboration. Hence, the users are using more shadow IT

Upload more than photos in Box Mobile for iPhone
We need an option to upload directly from Files app/Microsoft products via the Box Mobile App. Currently you can only upload boxnotes and photos directly from the Box Mobile app and to upload anything else you must go to a particular app and upload it from there.
On Android you can do this, why not iPhone?

Make MFO content searchable locally via spotlight/finder. With Box Sync locally downloaded content can be searched and accessed via Automator workflows. MFO in Box Drive should mirror Box Sync to truly be considered "Made Available Offline".

Allow option to restrict offline data by file type
Allow us the option to prevent some files from downloading when a folder is made available offline based on file type.
For instance, when traveling I may need access to PDFs for a job, but not need access or have space to sync a 2.5GB video file.
Please allow us to restrict what files are synced by file type.

Add granularity to shared link controls
Based on organizational requirements and the variance, there should be additional controls such as limiting the capability to create shared links (open Links) to Admins or designated personnel as an option. This would allow for greater granularity as some divisions within an organization may have a need to share publicly, while also securing sensitive information
23 votesFor now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.
Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.

Sort underscores consistently
We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

Support Drag & Drop from Box Web App to Outlook
Please enable the ability to drag and drop files FROM Box Web App TO Outlook email client (including the option to insert them as links OR to add them as normal attachments). Currently there is no native Drag and Drop functionality available between the Box Web App and Outlook. Therefore, the process to add file attachments/links to emails via the Web App or Outlook Plug-In is actually currently LESS efficient with BOX than without it. Since BOX Drive is not available for virtual clients (such as Terminal Server or Citrix), their only option is to use the Web App or…

Alert admin when users is reaching their allocated storage cap
When allocating a maximum storage amount to a given user it would be very useful to as an admin receive an email notification when the user is approaching their limit so that the admin can proactively increase the limit to decrease any disruption to their workflows.
