Disable drag/drop function for subfolders when navigating to save a file
When navigating to the relevant subfolder to save a file, it is too easy to accidentally drag/drop a subfolder into a parallel one, on route.
Causing headaches with missing folders and upsetting the folder structure.
If the folder moving function could be frozen while saving files, this would be more secure.8 votes -
"Request for Mandatory Password Protection on Shared Links to Enhance Security in Movie Script Sharing"
Customer would like to be able to force people to set passwords on shared links. The customer said this would be a great feature at the global or folder level. His company often shares movie scripts during the production process via shared links and he considers it a security risk that he can't force password protection

Subdomain of shared folder should match folder owner
There is a difference in the URL that is actually displayed to collaborators.
The custom sub domain of the tenant to which user A belongs is “aaa.app.box.com“.
The custom subdomain of the tenant to which user B belongs is “bbb.app.box.com“.User B was invited as a collaborator to a folder owned by user A.
The URL of the file placed in that folder is
User A will see “aaa.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.
User B will see “bbb.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.Can the URL be changed so that the sub domain matches the owner of the folder? When collaborators go to a folder owned by another enterprise,…

Add URLs and email addresses to collaborator invites
We would like the ability to have a URL link and email addresses within the body of Collaboration Invites.
Now URLs are no longer allowed, and our use case was to provide clients we’re sharing data with a link to other pages for context, and an email address for contact, like “alias@domain.com” within the email.
As a work around, we're forced to generate our own emails manually using shared links, which is more cumbersome, prone to user error and potentially less secure.

Collapse sidebar on right hand side (Activity / Details / Metadata) by default
Give users ability to decide at either account or folder settings level whether content opens up in full screen (i.e. marketing video etc) with the side bar on right hand side collapsed by default.
They can then click if they want to open the sidebar to check on Activity / Details / Metadata

Notify Co-Owners of Auto-Expired Collaborators in Subfolders
Let's say there is A parent folder. B folder is underneath of A folder. User A is co-owner for A folder. User B is invited from B folder as editor. Collaboration auto expiration is enabled. Currently, User A will not be notified when User B is auto-expired from B folder because User A is not directly invited to B folder. User A should be notified.

save audit of messages sent to new collaborators
save audit of messages sent to new collaborators. I use the same template all the time, so would be easy to grab a saved template that i could add to your program

Trash file from its preview
The trash command is missing from within the "..." button of the document view.
The workaround requires a lot of extra steps: navigate to the parent folder, select the file, trash the file.
Moreover it is not consistant with what is possible with folders: you can trash a folder from its own view.53 votes -
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
