Use file size limits of Box Enterprise account when free users edit/upload to enterprise folders
Ability for free/lite users who are external collaborators in a folder to edit/upload content into a managed folder, even if the file size is above the free/lite limit. For example: Company A has an enterprise Box license and Company B does not, but uses free/lite accounts to collaborate in folders with Company A. When Company B needs to collaborate/edit large files in Company A’s folder, they can only do so if the size of the file is below the free/lite account limit. For large files, they have to download the file, edit it on their desktop, then email back to…

List of folders with overridden email notifications
Many users choose to override the default email notifications for certain box folders but then forget which folders they chose the override setting. It would be nice under the Notifications section to list which folders the user has chosen to override email notification settings.

Full path to the file in notification e-mails
I'd like to ask for adding full path to the file (especialy first level) in notification e-mails to use Outlook rules. Starting this year everybody is a member of many BOX groups - less or more important. It would be very usefull to split the notifications into folders.

This content will be available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
You have chosen to move the selected item to the folder 'folder-name'. This folder has collaborators outside of your company and has a public shared link enabled. Do you want to continue?

Make API rate limits more sophisticated, especially for large enterprises
When working with a Box Enterprise that has tens of thousands of users, scripts designed to do things like user information syncing, group syncing, or user provisioning/deprovisioning often run into real issues with the Box API rate limits.
Some calls (e.g. downloading or uploading a file) are clearly significantly more resource-intensive than others (e.g. getting a user’s aliases). The method Google has implemented for the Gmail API (see https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/quota) seems like a really great way to balance the need to protect the back-end systems against the need for increased performance for less-intensive calls. It would be nice if Box…

Set cookie to remember which Box enterprise the user last signed in as
The Box web app should set a cookie in the user's browser to remember the Box account they last signed in as, and take them directly to the SSO (or Box login) page for that enterprise, without the three intermediate steps where the user has to click "Not a part of External Org?", then enter their email address, then click Next, and only then get to their SSO screen.
This is an issue that often comes up when collaborating across enterprises.

Display email address of sender for files uploaded through email to folder
When using email to folder in Box, the "user" shows whatever name another company set up for that external email address. An example is service@ringcentral.com - the uploader shows as "Fax in Rehabco 2" which means nothing to us - it is apparently something set up by another Box company. It should display the actual email address instead.

Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.
Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator…

Admin reports should differentiate between MFO and Downloads
MFO actions are logged in User Activity Reports as Downloads. However, since MFO is completely a local setting, there currently isn't any logging within the Admin Console that will distinguish between regular downloads and MFO downloads.
We want a way for admin to know if there is MFOed items on user’s machine.

Allow admins to block external users from using MFO in Drive
Create an option to allow enterprise admin to block Box Drive for external users, on per user basis.
We have this feature in Box Sync (for managed users only) and need this feature to be extended to external users for Box Drive, due to security reason: Compared to downloading from Box Webapp , it is very easy for external users to get a lot of our contents with MFO. It is out of our control and we cannot guarantee as well if external user’s machines are secure enough (HDD encryption, antivirus software etc.).”5 votes -
Notify user when moving a folder breaks collaborator permissions
When moving a folder that has inherited permissions from a higher folder, the webapp should recognize that it will lose those collaborations. It would also be great if it then asked the user if it is ok, if they would like to cancel the move, or if they would like to invite the collaborators on the folder in its new location.

See and share full path from Box Drive
A function that enables to share Box Drive location/path between users.
When using Box Drive on a daily bases, it is inconvenient that the user needs to open the link on the browser once to identify the specific location/folder path.
It would improve to shorten the work flow if the users can see the full path from Box Drive so that they don’t have to go through the process to open box.com.
23 votesThanks for the suggestion! It’s not currently on the roadmap at this time.

Add a Folder Viewer role
Along with the current 7 access levels, adding the “folder viewer”level which the user can see ancestral folders(with no access to those folders).
If a collaborator is invited from 2 different sub-folders with the same name, the folder name on the invitee’s first level shows the same. This can confuse users and might cause uploading/editing contents at the wrong destination.
Once this access level is deployed, the collaborator can clarify the root folder without having to confirm its contents.
Viewing folder paths can be done with canviewpath in the API but we want this to be possible in…

Apply a custom support email address (i.e. support@mycompany.com)
Apply custom email address (i.e. distribution list), rather than defaulting to the Box Admin's personal email address in error messages. This is most prevalent in our organization when users attempt to use apps that are disabled by our policy.
The resulting error message is
"This application cannot be used because it is not allowed by your Box Administrator."
"If you have any questions, please contact your administrator at John.Smith@mycompany.com"
For large organizations, with global offices, and as an enterprise-class application, Box should provide the ability to have a distribution list email address rather than an individual (ex. support@mycompany.com)

folder notification
Notifications about folder activity for emails who are not collaborators in the folder.
Use case: Our end users are not allowed to access cloud data sites on our corporate network per compliance regulations thus them not being added as a collaborators. I sync the folders down to our file servers and share them creating a two-way data sync between our end users and their clients who use the website. I’ve just been asked to supply alerts when a client performs activities in shared folders but can’t do so directly because I can’t add specific email addresses to the alerts.
