  9. Improve Box Drive memory usage

    Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

  10. The ability to check the characters when setting/typing the password for shared link and account

    When we're entering passwords of shared links and accounts, we want to check it by seeing the actual characters.

    For example, this request has been achieved on the following page:

    https://account.box.com/signup/n/personal

    Is it possible for you to implement the same button in the account ligin page and the shared link setting window?

  12. Allow users to select a folder when creating a new note in the notes console

    When creating a new note from the notes app, you should allow users to select which folder the note lives in. It currently defaults to the root of the user's drive. Or improve upon the move note feature.

  13. Provide BIM management in Box to access Construction market

    As we are partnering with Autocad to integrate Box in there tools, it would be great to support BIM file formats, which are starting to get more and more common in construction and building management industries.

    This could help Box Sales team to address new markets through Autocad RevIt integration for example.
    https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/File_formats_for_BIM
    https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/bim

    What is BIM?
    BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

    I think it can be relevant especially with our focus…

  14. Windows App Custom Disctionary for Spell Check

    Using the Box Notes Windows desktop app is awesome. A huge pain point is the spell-check feature because it lacks a custom dictionary feature. In many cases, my notes are riddled with little red spelling error-underlines because the application doesn't allow me to accept and remember frequently used words. Examples include names, places, people, companies, products, etc. The list could go on but I fell I've effectively communicated my concern.

  15. ELIMINATE the display message " We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported" " as it terrifies our customers

    Display message "We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported" scares our customers on the download shared link page. They think it is an ERROR and will not download the .ISO or other file that cannot be PREVIEWED. Make the message SPECIFIC to PREVIEW:
    "Preview not available for this file type, click Download to continue"
    or just
    "Preview not available for this file type"

    Saying it is UNSUPPORTED means too many bad things. If this is not fixed, we will leave BOX. Seriously.

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  16. "Automate Restoration of Collaboration Permissions for Deleted Users in Box"

    Customer would like the ability to restore or have Box re-set collaboration permissions when a deleted user is restored. For example, if a customer accidentally deletes a user and needs them restored, they can do so through User Services, but they have to manually re-add the folder collbaorations/access. They would like Box to have a way can automate the addition of these folders for them via the Admin console or on the Box side.

  17. Detailed content access reporting by location, client, user, etc.

    We'd like to see a report in the Admin Console that shows where content is being accessed from and by whom, specifically for mobile (iOS or Android, etc.); but other information like Box Drive or Web App would also be helpful.

  18. Report on installed Box Drive versions by user

    Need a report admins can run that will show all users who have ever used Drive and what the last version of Drive they last used was. Ideally there is a Device ID or Device Name as well.

    Use Case - Often admins do not have a device management system which would be used to run this report. Without that system in place OR without all devices being managed under it, admins have no visibility into what software is installed on their unmanaged users machines. Box won't be able to tell them all users who have it installed (if it…

  20. Combine Feed with Notifications and Recents to make one seamless experience

    If you could combine feed with notifications + recents into one screen. Our users find that they’re often switching back in forth between the screens; if you could have a screen with three columns including all of these items and have a way to sort them, scroll them – that would be one experience and save time flipping between pages.
