It would be beneficial to expose this information via API when interacting with file versions to enable this for App Users via a portal

Updated "Modified By" when restoring version of a file
The “Modified By” field doesn’t update when an old version is promoted – but the “Modified Date” field does. If one field updates, both should. If we are using the file’s metadata for one field, we should use this for both.

Add a threaded ‘Reply’ button to comments and @mentions
When you are @mentioned, replying to the sender with @mention requires many clicks. It would be simpler to be able to reply to the sender in one click (i.e. add a comment with sender already @mentioned)

Document placeholder artefact
Expected document is a recurrent requirement for many scenarios (board management, underwriting, bid management...). We could add this new artefact, it could have a description, be linked to assignees and have an expected date with automated reminder.

Allow Search API call to search using wildcards
if I wanted to get the item ids of all files within a users account, I would have to run the Get Folder Items for all subfolders. If there’s a large folder tree, it would either take to long to iterate through all subfolders or I would run into an API rate limitation. It would be easiest if the Search API call can allow searching using wildcards so it would just take one API call to get a list of all item ids.

Add admin setting to change default view for user folders to descending.
Create a setting in the admin console to automatically be able to enable descending order filter for all named files for the whole enterprise. This way each user doesn’t have to do this individually.

Disable preview mode when opening Office 365 files
Preview mode is an extra step that is confusing our technically challenged and upper management. Believe it or not, they come across this roadblock (as it is perceived) and get turned off by Box, thereby defaulting back to opening locally.

Make it easier for Viewer-Uploader role to copy files
File copy is not easy to access to viewer-uploader users (only doable via shortcut). This doesn’t help to implement a scenario where users need to create documents from templates they are not granted to modify.

"Virtual Documents" / Groupings of documents that together form one master document
Box should have the ability to get documents together in a collection. This collection should then be versionable, regardless of the versions of the documents.
Thinks a personal dossier. Some documents might update a couple of time, before I declare the whole dossier as a new version.
Tools like documentum have a concept of virtual documents. My opinion to those implementation is that they are really bad from a user perspective. Therefore we should do it better.

Improve viewer-uploader copy experience
Copy is only possible for viewer-uploader through shortcut. It should be available through button/command too, it would be consistent with other role and it would improve user productivity

Granular caching ability for Box Drive
Right now, Box Drive pre-caches any content within a folder as it’s accessed. This can create an issue if there is a large file (~1 GB Executable) in the folder on Box which causes the native file explorer to hang.
We would like granular caching ability for Box Drive to set a file size so that not everything needs to be pre-cached.
5 votesAs some commenters noted, files are not cached automatically when users access a folder. Rather, the metadata on the files within a folder get cached. Files themselves will only be cached/downloaded if a user double-clicks on them.
