Metadata field for a user name - ability to @mention or tie a metadata field to a specific user
Similar to comments or tasks, it would be helpful to be able to autofill and insert a user's name in a metadata field.
There are a lot of use cases here, e.g. establishing the content owner since oftentimes that is different from the folder owner and not easily discernible or searchable.
Current workaround would be to use the text metadata field, which leaves room for user error, typos, or using different variations on people's names. A dropdown list helps with that but isn't a feasible option if you're choosing from a large set of users.

Enablement Governance APIs for free developer accounts
Currently, governance APIs are not enabled in the free developer accounts. This removes the ability to perform local unit testing and developers must perform unit testing in another environment. Since accounts are developer sandboxes, there is less risk in testing with pseudo-permanent APIs such as Retention Policies.

Box Platform Performance in EMEA suffering
We'remer using Box to replace existing ECM system. Transaction, after code optimisation takes 11 seconds when using caches and 20+ when no caches are used. Due to the time taken to perform transaction that future use cases are under threat and the performance volumes required cannot be met with current performance metrics.

If virus is detected at the time of download, Virus Scan Alert on virus-found should be sent to the downloading user.
If customer opt-in for Virus Scan, Box currently checks for a virus at the time of file download too. And Box sends an e-mail to Admin and file owner when virus is found.
It should be a basic Box feature to alert and/or prevent a user from downloading a malicious file. Box should also quarantine or prevent a user from opening the file.

Create Legal Holds with the same name as Deleted Legal Holds.
As a Governance client, I would like to create legal hold policies that have the same name as a previously deleted policy. Currently, this is not possible and will bring up a duplicate error. This is important as we are about to add new policies with the same names for consistency reasons.

There are many ways in which to authenticate to Box through Mobile, Sync, Drive, Web etc. Is it possible to have a single unified check wherein we could then open any end-point for Box to authenticate?
