Custom document repositories with metadata search
User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical way…1 vote -
provide option to not automatically accept collaboration invitations when being invited from a user group
I do not have option to not accept the collaboration invitation when content is shared with a user group that I belong to. Is there a way to have the option to not accept the invitation when invited by a user group that I am part of it.

Limit the number of files that can be uploaded in the Box Web App
The request is to include a setting within the Admin Console to limit the number of files that can be uploaded at one time through the Box Web App.
The customer is in insurance (ClaimsPro integration) and is trying to implement functionality to make a work item when someone uploads more documents for a claim than is allowed.
When users upload too many documents, the job will run multiple times while the documents are being uploaded, creating multiple work items. They are unable to reduce the run frequency of the job and are hoping to limit the amount of uploads…1 vote -
Recent Files Menu Options
I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?
Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

heatmap
Would love a heatmap report/feature that shows how often particular folders (or files) are accessed (over a specific timeframe). This way you could quickly identify folders/data you may not need to keep any longer. This would allow you to identify folders storing stale or useless data that could be cluttering up everyone's view. You could tie this into policies that could auto-delete/archive folders that have not been accessed within a certain time frame.

Please add a customizable setting for the [administrator email address] section.
If a user tries to use an application that is not allowed by the tenant, the following error screen will appear.
Disabled by Administrator
This application cannot be used because it is not allowed by your Box administrator.
If you have questions, please contact your administrator at [administrator email address].
Typically, he/she is expected to contact the email address provided on this screen.
However, due to company operations, we do not accept inquiries at the email address listed on this screen.
This creates confusion because he/she sends an email and does not receive a response from the administrator.Therefore, we…

Improved Shuttle error documentation
Currently the documentation only has a few of the possible errors that can appear during a Shuttle migration, so it'd be helpful to have a more comprehensive list of such error messages and how to handle each of them.

Option to limit Shuttle mobile access to read-only
To avoid mistakes made when checking the status of Shuttle jobs on the go, it'd be helpful to have an option to set mobile access to read-only mode, disallowing jobs to be started, stopped, deleted, etc.

Bulk creation of migration jobs
Creating jobs manually via the UI is not a problem for a small number of jobs, but it can become a long and error-prone tasks in the case of larger migrations with dozens of jobs.
It'd be useful to create multiple migration jobs by specifying creation parameters via a CSV or Excel file.
In addition, it'd be useful to have bulk created jobs using the same source to be automatically queued for execution.1 vote -
Group and filter migration jobs
Currently it's possible to sort migration jobs and filter by status, but it'd be helpful to be able to group jobs and filter by other criteria.
This would be specially useful for larger migrations with dozens of jobs and could avoid mistakes when using the UI (e.g., starting/stopping a job by mistake because the list is too long).1 vote -
Bandwidth scheduler for Shuttle jobs
Currently it's possible to change the bandwidth of a particular job on Shuttle, but it's necessary to open each job and change it manually.
It'd be helpful to have a bandwidth scheduler to enable cases where a customer wants to use different amounts of bandwidth along the day (for instance, 10% during business hours and 100% at night or during weekends).1 vote -
Smarter mirror deletion
Currently the mirror deletion feature deletes and reuploads folders that were simply moved on the source.
It'd be helpful to have Shuttle identify moved folders and move them within Box, instead of uploading everything again.1 vote -
Specifying shared folders as destination folders
Currently it’s not possible to select shared folders when choosing a destination folder on Shuttle, and this reduces the number of accounts that can be used in migrations to Box instances using a closed folder structure (i.e., all content centralized in a few accounts).
If it becomes possible to migrate into shared folders, it’d allow the use of more migration accounts that could run more jobs simultaneously and speed up migrations projects.

Please add last login date and time on the user management page
Most cloud services offer the last login time and date when reviewing user status pages in admin. A DoD DISA requirement is to disable inactive accounts after 30 days, so it's an industry best practice. Having this information on the user list page in admin would bring Box in line with other cloud services. Thank you!

Notify Box app users to refresh for latest updates on Content Preview and Content Explorer UI elements
Currently, when Box app users access files through the Content Explorer and the Content Preview UI elements, there is no visible indication that one or more files have been updated simultaneously by managed users.
As a result, users may not be aware of the latest changes or modifications made to the files.To ensure that app users benefit from new updates, I kindly request the implementation of a notification message within the Content Preview and Comtent Explorer elements. This notification message would dynamically appear whenever one or more files have been updated, prompting app users to refresh their page to…

Sort and Filter Feature within In Progress Tasks
My team and I utilize the Task feature heavily and my Task Inbox becomes full. While I can currently filter down Tasks to "In Progress" I really would like to be able to sort my "In Progress" tasks further such as by due date and filter by task assignee.

Drag and drop operations between browsers
Microsoft Edge allows you to split the browser screen.
I have separate Box folders on both split screens.
It would be convenient to be able to copy and move files and folders from one screen to another by dragging and dropping them.1 vote
