Insert date and time fields in Box Notes
My office would like to use Box notes to log certain informal client interactions. We would like to create a customized Box note template for this, and we need it to include automatic current date and time field in the note header (i.e. individual note creation date and time) -- similar to the generic stock template provided by Box. However, there is currently no way to insert automatic creation date and time fields in a custom Box note template header. This should be an easy and useful enhancement.”

Add the feature for documents to upload as a new version when they are dragged directly over an existing document in box!!!!
To avoid having to save new version of documents, you should allow users to drag documents (from an email for example) onto another document in box. This would then prompt you to, "upload new version" or "upload separate document". This would save users the pain of having to download new versions to their computers before selecting the "upload new version" feature.

Sort Drive Search results by metadata
Currently you are unable to sort results in Drive Search, and you need to rely on searching based on keywords and sorting through the limited results. It would be helpful to sort on available metadata, similar to a traditional File Explorer, like name and last modified in order to better find that content we are looking for.

Rethink Box Notes as a Collaborative Tool
Many of the comments about Box Notes, and the shortcomings that make them seem only marginally useful to me, arise from them being treated/implemented as something totally "other", compared to other file types that one might load into Box.
Unlike other files, Box acts as if Notes all belong together rather than in the user's folder structure, and they have their own type of page or tab that is confusingly different from the standard Box interface, rather than simply opening up in an editing window if the user wants to make changes. An editing window would be much more intuitive,…

Ability to review all external users permission levels
We would like the ability to review all external users permission levels. I was thinking of an interactive way to filter and search. For example: On the Users and Groups section open the list of External Users. It would be nice to see their assigned permissions here. Then be able to filter to show those who have editor rights, or search those who have email domain = sample.com. Then you could interactively edit.

Ability to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group.
I file the request on behalf of the customer.
The customer would like to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group but it seems that Box can only disable Box Mobile App per Enterprise at this moment.6 votes -

Cross-platform Box Drive with multiple accounts needed
I realize this has been asked for in the past, but dismissed without much explanation of why it is "not planned." I'm the admin of a Box enterprise account. Co-admins in our enterprise org require user-level file access to perform their job duties. While our corporate policy does permit employees to use their Box accounts for personal data, there are numerous issues with this:
1) I travel frequently, and need offline file access, from my computer and devices; can't do that if I have to log out and back in.
2) Box Drive on mobile devices is not particularly useful…6 votes -
Requesting the ability to upload a file for sharing but set a date/time for when the sharing will start.
In the entertainment business films and music can't be released until a specific date and time. The assets are ready in advance. I would like to create a folder for sharing with a start date and time for the sharing. This way I can invite people to a folder i want to share, but they can't access the content until the approved date and time. A time counter would be great so the person i am sharing with will know when the files will be released.

Ability to PAUSE during an audio recording in BOX CAPTURE
During an audio recording, be able to PAUSE, then continue with same recording - so all audio is contained in same audio file (for transcription) Example; audio interviews; record intro with identifying information, including confidential ID, pause recording, then invite interviewee into interview, then re-start recording. When we send these files for transcription the confidential identifying information is included at the beginning of each file - but the interviewee is not aware of the confidential ID.

Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.
Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

Custom error message for disabled user
Currently, if the disabled user accesses box, it shows “Disabled by administrator” and advises them to contact “administrator” only. But there are the possibilities that administrator misses these kind of emails (i.e. Out of office situation). So we would like to add "please contact your administrator or 'co-admin'" for this error message.
Or, allow the admin to modify this message directly would be the best option.6 votes -
Admin reports should differentiate between MFO and Downloads
MFO actions are logged in User Activity Reports as Downloads. However, since MFO is completely a local setting, there currently isn't any logging within the Admin Console that will distinguish between regular downloads and MFO downloads.
We want a way for admin to know if there is MFOed items on user’s machine.

Bulk permission removal
We have folders that frequently need permission changes and it is much easier to bulk remove all permission and add only users that need access.

Allow the Copy to also include file history
There are times when making a copy of a file should allow version history to be captured as well. Point in Time copies can help with legal matters, and having the version history can help us understand when changes were made, what changes were made and by whom. This shouldn't be on a move ONLY feature but also a copy feature/option.
