Apply File-Based Policies via API
Having retention policies at the file level (even if only available via API) would make integrations simpler when retention logic is coming from external sources (i.e., other systems).
Providing this functionality would allow for more elaborate use cases. For example, if a classified document is uploaded and identified, it can be automatically retained for a set period of time.
Folder-based retention for everything, as it leads to over-retention of content. In an ideal process, for example, when a document is switched from Draft to Final, the retention policy would be applied to the document (and would work for that version…

Custom dialogue upon login
I would like the ability to have a text alert at the top of our page that promotes a tool, such as Box for Office, on the All Files and Folders page.
I did look at the terms of service option, but I do not think that is what we are looking for. We were hoping there would be some way to either add text to the All Files view that could alert members to features we wish to promote, such as the co-authoring or the DocuSign app, maybe like the way people are prompted to accept or reject folder…
0 votesWe currently have the capability to promote features within the Webapp on All Files and Folders.

APEX SDK need group collaboration support
We are working on building out our SFDC integration to support some additional work flows. We leverage groups heavily and would like the ability to collaborate groups using the APEX SDK, which currently is not supported. User collaboration is.

File Picker: Add file preview pane to file picker widget.
We are using the file picker widget in a custom app. We are requesting the addition of a preview pane to the file picker widget so our end users can get a preview of files they are potentially adding.
0 votesWhile not part of the file picker itself, it is possible to invoke the content preview from within the content picker such that it appears to be part of one experience.

Allow selecting a different root folder post install
After we mirrored our production environment to a SFDC sandbox, the sandbox comes with the Box integration pre-installed and the Salesforce Root Folder pre-populated to point to the same folder connected to the production instance.
We would like the ability to configure the sandbox instance of the integration to point to any other folder, either via UI or exposed via SDK/toolkit.
1 voteThis capability exists today in the Box for Salesforce integration. Users can map a Sandbox and Production Salesforce environment to different root folders within 1 Box EID.

Previewer Uploader Able to Download Files
When a link is sent with the access level set to "Collaborators Only" a "Previewer Uploader" Collaborator can then open the link from their email and have the option to "Open in App" and the IOS app will give them the opportunity to Download the File. The file can then be uploaded to Google Drive and then viewed on a desktop or mobile device. This basically gives the Previewer Uploader the ability to download the file.
0 votesWe prevent this already.

.PKG File for Deploying Box Edit
We currently only provide a DMG file for deploying Box Edit on a Mac. This is not really scalable and not the preferred way to deploy apps to Mac workstations in large enterprises.

Add 'Description' Field for Groups in Box
Groups in AD have a custom 'descriptions' field; the Groups feature should have the same parity to give more context to Groups within the Admin Console, especially, as a large company, we have many Groups that have similar names.
0 votesYou can add a description for a Group through the Admin Console when creating or editing a group. You can also add a description through the Groups API.

Replace all OpenLibre excel conversion servers with genuine MS Excel conversion servers OR Excel UI within Box Preview
Currently there are several display errors and discrepancies with our OpenLibre office conversion engine. (incorrect aates are shown, shapes are not rendering, comments are blacked out, fonts are incorrect etc).
This could be resolved by leveraging a native Microsoft Excel conversion mechanism OR by replacing Box Preview with a native O365 Excel Online-based viewer within the Box webapp.

Metadata driven Automations
Customer wants the ability to push an approved item into multiple folders at once, which would be done using Box automations with metadata, where specific metadata can be added to push items into specific folders.
For example adding metadata ?a?, ?b? and ?c? to a document will move the file to folders ?a?, ?b? and ?c?.
