File Type request: .log files (text)
A lot of applications output their logs with the extension .log. These are just text files (.txt) with a .log extension. Unfortunately, files with .log extensions can't load in preview. Please allow .log files to load in preview (for desktop and mobile interfaces).
28 votesThanks for the suggestion of this addition. We are not currently planning to add this functionality, but will keep the post updated for future.

Watermark files from mobile app

Support custom objects via the mobile Salesforce and Box integration.
The Box and Salesforce integration for Salesforce mobile does not support custom objects at all so we had to create a deep link workaround that redirects to the associated folder within the box mobile experience (this also requires some salesforce coding to populate a field with the corresponding folderID). This is not a seamless experience....it is a clunky redirect.
Also, you are not able to create the corresponding box folder for the first time from the mobile experience....you have to create the box folder from the desktop from within the box integration within salesforce first, before you are able to…

Target users for EMM mobile clients
Currently if an organisation wishes to enable the Enterprise Mobility Management version of the mobile clients they have to enable it at a global level.
We would like to be granular with this. We're a University and I want to enforce all staff users to use the EMM client but not students (their uni data is not considered "sensitive").
Please can Box allow granular assigned of EMM users?
In our use case we have just under 3,600 user who require EMM but 17,000 users do not.
13 votesCurrently not planned, but in the meantime we recommend using separate EIDs as a workaround.

I have a specific order I like to see my files in. Can I sort them this way?

Ability to accept invitation request to “Join Enterprise” via Mobile app
We would like a way to see and accept invitation request for “Join Enterprise,” not only in Web browsers but also in Mobile [Box for iOS/Android] too.
At the moment, users are unable to confirm and click “Accept” for the invitation request, when they log-in via [Box for iOS/Android].
When there are many users who uses iPads only, it would take so much time and effort for them to access to Box via Web browser everytime, only to accept the invitation.11 votes -
View embedded widgets on mobile.
The embedded widget is currently not viewable from mobile.
When embedded widgets are supported on mobile devices, security will be ensured by using the videos in the tenant's Box instead of storing them on an external server or streaming service.

Tabbed mobile navigation
Currently, I cannot do meaningful work on the Box mobile app. It would be amazing if we could have tabs to enable the navigation within different folders/content at the same time. One tab could be a folder, another tab previewing a doc, another tab, editing a Box Note.

https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500000212121-Using-Document-ScanningIt would be very helpful if mobile app can recognize Japanese language when using Document Scanning.

Option to not leave the data on the device
If the user presses the + button and selects "Take photos or videos" and encounters an upload error when uploading the photos or videos taken, those files are automatically saved in the device's library.
Since the data remaining on the device poses a security risk, you need an option to not leave the data on the device in the application settings.6 votes -
Access the Admin Console via the iPad application
Users with a co-admin or primary admin designation should be able to access the Admin Console when logged into the Box for iPad application (vs having to use the web browser)

Ability to choose a timestamp on the photo itself when taken.
Time/date watermark on the actual photo would help for verification of pictures when they are actually taken in case someone modifies the file.
6 votesThank you for your suggestion! This is not currently planned. We will review this given additional customer demand and use cases.

Retain Mark for Offline setting when logging out and re-signing into Box
Currently if a user marks content for offline access in any of the mobile devices once the user logs out the content is removed from offline. The next time they sign in to the Box app, content needs to be marked for offline again. The request is to remember content has been marked for offline access on the mobile device so the next time they log in it makes the experience more seamless
6 votesAt this point in time we are not planning to add this functionality.

Updates are no longer unlimited... WHY?
Updates are essential... Box won't allow viewing of updates on the Mobile app anymore, and with the latest update, the Updates feature on desktop only goes back 24 hours... This is unacceptable.

Custom Branding not displaying on mobile
Please include the same custom branding when viewing the mobile site that is displayed in the app and desktop browser. This would bring custom branding to be consistent throughout the BOX UI and lacking on the mobile version.
