Downloading Empty Folders
We noticed and it's confirmed with Box Support that the Box service treats "empty folders" inconsistently depending on which Box mechanism is used.
Empty folders are not created if we download folders via the Web interface. Empty folders are created via Box Sync. We are finding that this inconsistent behavior is creating confusion for our users and a mistrust in the Box service. Can you rectify the inconsistent behaviour?
15 votesThank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

Support Routing to 2 (Or More) Proxies for Network Traffic
Currently Box Sync only supports routing traffic through 1 proxy (identified via leveraging the PAC file on the computer)
We have advanced network traffic routing schemes in place and need the ability to route Box traffic selectively to 2 (or more) proxies based on:
-Bandwidth/volume of traffic (i.e., routing uploads/downloads through a different proxy than all other Box traffic)
-Security (i.e., monitoring and visibility requirements for some traffic but not other traffic)
0 votesWe have no feature work planned for Box Sync.

Enable Tasks in Box Notes
Client is a heavy user of Box Notes (for project plans, team meetings, checklists, lists and other). They'd like to be able to assign tasks related to those lists/activities/other from the Box Note to collabs.
69 votesThank you for the feedback. Adding Tasks to Box Notes is functionality that we are actively researching, but is not currently on the roadmap. Please continue to submit feedback and use cases, and we’ll update if and when this becomes a priority.

Add Support on Adobe Links Files
Creative teams leverage this the most when they are cross-linking between Adobe files into a master file to consolidate auto-updating and auto-pulling of all the assets coming from all the different files.

Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.
We would like to be able to custom color code their folders.
24 votesWe will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

Personal folders created by a service account appear yellow instead of blue
When content creation is restricted and personal folders are created on a users behalf, it would make more sense for the end user to see those folders as yellow instead of blue to indicate that they aren't shared
2 votesThis is not on our roadmap. We will prioritize other requests which have a higher impact.

Add Boolean Attribute to User object to Indicate Unlimited Quota status
Currently, when querying the User object endpoint there is no way to identify whether the quota for the user has been set to Unlimited, even though Box permits sending a "-1" parameter to set the space_amount.
When the object is returned, the space_amount for an Unlimited quota will vary depending on the total space allocation for our company.
The request is to add a new Boolean attribute, such as "isquotaunlimited" to return this information.
0 votesWe are not currently planning on adding this new field to the users endpoint in the next few quarters, although we will revisit this feature request in Q3.

Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)
Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.
No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)
9 votesWe don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview
When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.
In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.
This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.
