Move Custom Footer + Custom Support Info Back to Footer, Not '?' Icon
In the Legacy UI, the Custom Footer and Custom Support Contact Info (as configured in Enterprise Settings -> Custom Setup) both appeared (logically) in the actual footer of the webapp.
In the new UI, these items were moved into the '?' that's actually in the header.
REQUEST: Move these items back to the footer - or at least the Custom Footer fields - likely in the bottom left of the webapp when the left sidebar is expanded.

Managed user differentiator other than domain
Different attribute outside of domain to determine if truly a managed user. We have different orgs that share email domains but are truly are different orgs with different budgets and approvals. Our org does not want to pay for other users that are not within our organization.
4 votesThis is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive
Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive
The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.
REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.

Error message when trying to preview a password protected file is not clear.
When trying to preview a password protected file in Box, our users receive the message: "We are sorry, the server encountered an error while processing your documents, "which dos not really explain the nature of the problem (i.e., no explanation as to why it cannot be opened).
When trying to open with Excel Online, the error message is for them slightly better as it mentions that the file is encrypted and that they should follow-up with the author), yet does not explain how to open (with Box Edit via local app, or to download and later upload).

Role based permissions or more granular permissions on groups
Ideal is a role based permission where you can select individual folders, people, and files that users have access to as well as admin permissions.
Other option is to add more granular permissions for groups.

Re-Add Owner / Co-Owner Labels to the File List in Amsterdam
The Legacy UI had Owner and Co-Owner 'labels' that were shown in the file list next to the folder name. This made it easy for end users and admins (using Instant Log-In from the Admin Console) to see - at a glance without having to select individual folders - which folders a given end user either owned or was co-owner of.
These labels were removed from the new UI, making it much harder to identify owned folders (as both owned and not-owned collaborated folders are blue).
REQUEST: Re-add the 'Owner' and 'Co-Owner' labels to the file list in the new…
0 votesInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Add functionality for ad-hoc sync
Some files are hanging during the sync process. This is usually solved when we log out and back into the sync application, but this is not ideal.
We want to know if there is a way to add a button or option in the Sync app to restart syncing/scanning while logged into the application.

File downloads should be counted in reporting/access stats when the enclosing folder is downloaded as a whole
Consider Folder A with subfolders AA, AB, and AC.
10 files named "1" through "10" in each subfolder.
If folder "A" is downloaded, none of subfolders/files are counted in usage logs or access stats. They should be counted as "downloaded".

Provide a Box Note Realtime API so we can create new Box Notes from our custom apps
Our users would like to be able to create a new Box Note from their own custom app menu bar.
This note would be saved in the folder from which they clicked the icon.
2 votesThank you for your note! This is not planned for the foreseeable future. We will re-evaluate this request with additional customer demand.
