When I click on a photo in Browse mode to bring it full frame, by default a side panel comes up labeled "Activity." i
I am running v.5.1.4 IOS for ipad. When I click on a photo in Browse mode to bring it full frame, by default a side panel comes up labeled "Activity." This is very annoying, as I constantly have to click on the photo to make it full frame and eliminate the side panel. My suggestion: this should be a user option, rather than a default that cannot be changed. Most users do not use this Activity feature; why is it the default setting? This is a change on this new version 5.1.4. Please fix this on the next version.

iPhone default preview mode
With the recent iOS app update, all PDF’s when previewed in Landscape mode display the “activity” screen on the right hand side by default. This is an unwanted feature and I would prefer defaults to show the "activity" screen collapsed.

Add "remove collaborator" option as option in a Relay workflow
In the same vein as being able to Add a collaborator as part of a Relay workflow, it would be nice to also Remove a collaborator as well. Customer would like to Add a collaborator as part of a workflow, have that collaborator do their part, then have them removed as they no longer need access to the content going forward.

Google Doc "share" from google.
When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )
Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.
I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then…
3 votesWhen using the integration, users can now share a Google file directly within the editor, using Box’s sharing modal permissions and settings.

relay assign workflow
When a user leaves the company, the admin (or the user) should be able to assign his workflows to someone else. So far, the admin can only deactivate a workflow. We have cases where the relay workflow has 46 steps and if the owner leaves the company, the job is lost. It is a waste of time. As well, folder problems should be highlighted if the user is replaced, thus allowing either the assignment of permissions to the folder(s) or the ability to switch to new folder(s).
22 votesDelivered – Admins can now assign a new workflow owner when deprovisioning a user

Skip SSO login for Microsoft Teams
Please can we implement this to save all Box + Teams users getting prompted to login to Box from Teams after every Teams launch? (Staff are using SharePoint instead of Box as the user experience is easier)

Ability to use Box embed widget on separate Salesforce apps (such as "Sales Console")
Ability to use Box embed widget on separate Salesforce apps (such as "Sales Console")
Salesforce has features like "Sales Console" that has a different UI/UX than what Box for Salesforce integration currently supports, and Box embed is not behaving correctly within those apps. We would like Box for Salesforce to support the apps of this kind.
2 votesThe Box embed widget now works on the Sales Console. Please create new requests for any other specific Apps, if needed.

Allow editing of annotations
Sometimes I want to change the comment I left with an annotation. But the only option I get is to delete the annotation. So I'm forced to copy the previous text, delete the old annotation, and create a new one. That's annoying!

Metadata Cascading with Overwrite does not update but deletes and creates Metadata Instances
The request here is for box to update the current metadata instance object if already exists on a file/folder instead of deleting and creating new instance when cascading policy with overwrite is applied to a folder.
Box in the current behavior of Metadata Cascading with Overwrite option deletes the
existing metadata Instance and creates a new metadata instance object, this is causing conflicts when any custom business process through API has to manage metadata on items under the cascaded folders. The process gets caught into a scenario where between get metadata and update metadata methods during update the custom process…3 votesCascading Metadata that results in an overwrite now uses a single Update operation rather than Deleting and Creating.

Sort Content preference saved
In the old UI, you can sort by name or updated ascend/descend and the preference retains as you traverse the folders. In the new UI, the default is sort by updated and reverts after you change the sort order and traverse the folders.
5 votesThanks for the feedback. We have rolled out the change where the sort preference is saved after setting it for the first time.

Add an option to File Request only for managed users
We would like to gather files from internal managed users avoiding spoofing. Currently, one way is to use collaboration as uploader permission but uploader can still see file name each other where multiple users are collaborated. We need to make users authenticate and do not want to let them see information of other's uploaded files.
4 votesthe file request can be setup to support only allowing managed users.

Box Notes and Collections
The Box Notes interface, at the moment, only works with Favourites. It'll be great if you could choose a collection to put your Box Note into, directly from the Box Notes interface, as opposed to having to navigate to the Box folder where the note is, then select the collection.

File Request Notifications when the folder owner is the admin on silent mode
We are aware that users can get notifications for uploads done via File Request Link - However, these notifications are based off the folder owner.
Some enterprises have silent mode enabled on the admin, which suppresses the admin activity. If the admin is the owner of the folder, no notifications will be sent for these file request uploads.
We would like to request a way or setting for the uploads done via file request link, to send a notification - regardless of silent mode.
1 voteWe released a new outcome called “Send notifications” which solves for this request.

Allow default sorting to "Favorites" and created "Collections" so that they appear alphabetically.
If you have dozens or hundreds of folders in your "Favorites" and they are not sorted alphabetically, then it is nearly impossible to find your subject folder. Just make Favorites and Collections default sort alphabetically or give us the choice to set the default. Other people may want the last visited folder to be at the top, but still others may want to see it alphabetically. Please give us the option to do so as a default treatment.
58 votesThanks for the feedback. Favorites and collections are now sorted alphabetically in the left sidebar.

Remove OneDrive & SharePoint as storage location when deploying Box for Teams
Box is our central location for all content across our company. We also use Microsoft Teams for collaboration, which is why we're excited to roll out the new Box integration with Teams. However, there are still ways users can accidentally upload files to OneDrive & SharePoint. This may be a Microsoft limitation, but can Box find a way to remove these as options when we turn on your integration? We want Box as the only storage location for any file uploaded to Microsoft Teams.

Keep workflows active even after users are deactivated
I was reading through FAQs for Box Relay and I see that if a user is deleted their workflows are deactivated....
With no way to transfer workflows from one user to another don't you see this as a HUGE problem with the product?
If we are expected to use this in production to manage enterprise documents, what are we supposed to do when someone who created the workflows is removed? This would be a huge impact to any org. Especially if someone on a team is the creator of all the workflows. This would require someone to recreate them, and…
5 votesThanks for your feedback! An Admin flow for transferring workflows when a user is deprovisioned has been delivered in Q3.
