This is not something we plan to expose to Admins. We will continue to optimize search for end-users without the intervention from the admin team.

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Users with View Uploader permissions should have the ability to edit folders they create
In this case, the viewer uploader is the owner of the sub folder they have created, but they cannot do anything to it once it is created.
Can it be filed to be reviewed or modified? If a person can create a folder, surely they can rename it, move files into it. If Box does not want the viewer uploader to be able to rename a folder or move items into it, do not allow viewer uploader the ability to create a sub folder.
2 votesAgreed that it is somewhat strange a viewer uploader can create a subfolder. I believe this was put in place, because creating a folder is somewhat like taking the upload action.
Sometimes, when many files are uploaded, it is cleaner to upload them all in one place, and so that is why the Viewer Uploader is granted this permission.
One particular odd consequence, is this person can now create a folder but not rename it (let’s say they made a typo).
This is not oft-requested and impacts a small minority of users. We can look at fixing this in the future with additional customer demand.

Global setting to control "Items per page on All Files" for managed users
Want ability to update default items on All Files page to 100 for all managed users, and not make users do this individually.
0 votesThis is not a setting we are likely to build. We hope the relatively new Files app enables users to more easily find this setting in their end user experience to change it themselves.

Report on Sync Errors
Our admin would like to report on sync errors, e.g. user receiving error, date of error, type of machine - Windows vs. Mac, OS X 10.11.4 vs 10.11.6, etc.).
This will allow us to troubleshoot and hone in on issues that may be specific to certain environments, monitor trends in issues, recommend best practices
1 voteThis is not planned for development. We will let you know if anything changes.

Support for Differential or Bit-level Sync
We would like support for Sync to recognize differential changes made to a document and only sync the changes, instead of the entire document, especially for large documents.

Good feedback, although, due to other priorities we will likely not be getting to this anytime soon.

Make plugin available to SF Communities Licenses (not just standard licenses)
The current version requires a standard SF license, which means that, for the Grants Management System that we are developing, we will not be able to have grantees place documents in Box folders. We will have to either manually move them from SF or write some kind of custom automation.

Add a way to find out whether a collaboration is external or internal for the GET collaboration endpoint.
When running a collaboration report as an admin you are able to find out Collaborator Type. The GET collaboration endpoint should be able to do the same.

Usage stats per region of the world (Global stats)
We have global offices / teams dispersed globally. Admin teams currently have no way to monitor Box usage broken down by these teams (workaround suggestion is to create groups by office, but lots of admin overhead).
Suggestion is to use localization settings, IP address, or Box regional setting and categorize by country or region (Europe, APAC, LATAM, NATAM, etc.) to allow admins to report on usage stats by global region. (heat map of the world, etc.) Current reports with an additional column/filter.

Ability to report on amount of content stored over time (more than week view) & ideally ability to break down by region (global).
We would like to see the evolution of their Box account, how much content we continue to add over time from when we initially deployed, and to break this down by our global teams.

Upload policies catching too many false positives
137 files flagged so far today for Social Security Violation. Here is the warning information: File attached.
I am getting so many false positives that I would need a team to look at every single file that gets flagged. The scanning engine is terrible. Please escalate to your internal dev group so it can get fixed.
2 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Better rendering of Excel files in EMM
Word and PowerPoint are basically rendered as PDFs or PostScript files (rather than using iOS built-in quick rendering engine, which does not display formatting and charts well).
Excel files are still rendered using the iOS engine, which often leaves out crucial charts and doesn't reproduce frozen panes, which are needed to show large Excel files in a more manageable format.

Redirect to customer subdomain when using 'View on Box' feature
If a user doesn't have an active Web App session, and they click 'View on Box' from Office, they are brought to the generic login page.
We would like Box for Office to check the user's subdomain and redirect them accordingly.

We would like to see additional detail and use cases before considering this for implementation.

EMM Multi-Window Support for iPad
I need to be able to open multiple documents and easily switch between them with tabs (like iOS Safari perhaps) and I often need to display two documents side by side or have two views of the same document.
1 voteDuring our investigation we determined that this flow was not a highly desired capability for how users currently want to work in Box. It would also require a shift in how our application was build.

More information regarding policy violation in notification email
We would like to see more information (or have a link to more information within console) for violated policies

Live Video Streaming
Ability to live stream video content via Box.

Add ability distinguish between the three different types of Box Edit installations from program name
Some deployment tools (Dell Kace) only track the program name and publisher.
Companies using these tools are unable to determine what version of Box Edit (per-user, single-user machine-wide, or multi-user machine-wide) is installed which makes it difficult to remediate the situation.

Bulk Edit - Add Ability to Change Primary Email Addresses
Bulk Edit currently allows admins to change various settings for users, but it does not allow the admin to 'bulk edit' the primary email addresses for their users. This functionality would be handy in various scenarios, including when a company goes through an email domain change.
Right now, customers must come to Box (Customer Success) to have us run scripts in Internal Admin to do bulk email changes as we do not have this feature natively in Bulk Edit within the Admin Console.
