Enable version history disabling at the folder level
Our business requires the ability to disable version history for some clients who require that no past versions of files exist. We need the ability to disable versioning for part of the business, while retaining it for other parts. We can't be alone in this...

Updated field in List view should be the same as the updated field in metadata.
When data is migrated by migration tools, the updated field in metadata is set as the last modified date of local file.
But the updated field in list view is shown the date of update to Box.It makes a customer in confuse. So, the updated field in list view must be the same as the updated field in metadata.

I'd like to be able to share a link that defaults to open the file in the native app on macOS.
I'm not sure if this is more related to Box Drive or Box Tools, but it seems like it should be possible to open files in their native app rather than in the browser, or even just to open them in the Finder rather than on the web.
Some of the reasons:
1. Lots of people need to know where a file is within the larger heirarchy or get a file path, and it's significantly easier to do that in finder.
2. Lots of people just don't like having to click the extra few times.
3. It's frustrating to be…1 vote -
Add a loading animation when opening non-MFO‘d, non-cached files to show that it’s downloading
This will offer a better user experience than double clicking a file and nothing happening for 30 seconds to a minute before the file opens.

Make Shared link pages/views customizable
We would love to be able to adjust the view of certain links that are being shared out to users who don't have a Box account. Make the banner customizable so we can direct them more appropriately, and allow the buttons to be altered such that the login and sign up buttons may be hidden, and only the download button remaining in view.

Visible folder tree (selected folders) and Request access to folders
We face challenges with permission management and ensuring relevant access to folders for staff outside of their Division/Department/Countries. One great solution would be to have the possibility to display part of a folder tree, and to be able to request access to some folders within that folder tree. In this way, a funding person from an affiliate HQ could request access to the EA or PA country’s funding folder to the country funding focal point. This could technically be managed with a very complex use of Box Groups, but it would be an extremely useful alternative solution.

Please create navigation to split "shared with me" files and folders from my own files and folders, similar to OneDrive.
Please, please, create a separate view on the web to just showcase files and folders that are shared with me; rather than files/folders that are of my ownership. Similar to what other file storage providers offer, like OneDrive.
19 votesThank you for the feedback here -we are considering various ways to split shared/owned content & are considering this for the future roadmap, but don’t currently have a timeline for this.

Support articles
Wow, 'Support' is not even an option on the dropdown menu above. Maybe that is the root of the problem.
Here are FIVE Suggestions:
1.
Add 'Support' as an option on the menu above.
2.
Folders that I can see via a web browser were not appearing on my desktop. I tried to find a support article. Found this one:Box Sync Troubleshooting Basics
https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync-Troubleshooting/Box-Sync-Troubleshooting-Basics/ta-p/82
It does not address what I eventually figured out to be the problem: For each folder, I have to manually click the button with three little dots, then select from the menu the three little…

Consolidate User and Event Log Files
I am currently downloading Box event log files for my company and am seeing instances where the User Event log and the Admin Event log have holes in their data.
For instance, User Event Log is giving us fields such as item path (path_collection) and file/folder description, but it is not including field data such as IP address.
Conversely, Admin Event Log is giving us IP address, but not item path or file/folder description.We are trying to prevent duplication of data on our end, so we would like to be able to use one log or the other; however,…

better video preview engine. better video details.
Does the video preview engine handle x264 or x265 content? The whole industry is moving to x265 so ya better consider that. Does it handle .mkv files? Most of our videos dont preview properly. It shows a still frame but clicking the play icon comes up with an error message.
You may notice in windows when you click on a video it tells you about the video in detail like 1920x1080, video tracks x264 hi10 L5.0 audio tracks FLAC 51 (Jpn) (Eng) Subtitle tracks PGS Eng SRT Eng.
would be nice if the details of the file showed this info…

wrap long file names in the main UI. restore old namewrap UI feature.
I've noticed where other folks have suggested similar ideas and been told to use the BOX UI to create their own version. Not sure what the big deal is. we dont have programmers on staff but if you enlarge the font for a disabled person even short file names become too large to fit on the UI. I think even if long filenames is LOW probability, it occurs enuf to consider offering it. Practically every filename we have is too long so it drives us nuts. Video filenames are the worst because of a zillion versions. Can you imagine a…

Integrate Tasks with personnel systems like Active Directory, Workday
We want to be able to create rules so that tasks can be assigned to specific individuals based on their reporting relationship. This would allow for a task to be assigned to the appropriate manager when any employee submits certain kinds of requests, perhaps with a file upload. The best way to do this would be with some kind of integration to the HR system of record.
