Ability for Partial Searches
If the filename is Security Committee, searching ?Commit will find the file but searching omit will not.
Maybe the keywordless search option that is coming up will solve this? Not sure. Thanks!
5 votesThanks for your suggestion! We will not be adding this functionality in the foreseeable future.

Request to Add Overwrite/Version Functionality to File Copy Operations via API
Currently the only way to add a version to a file is to download it and upload the new version with the If-Match header.
We are archiving files when a new file version is uploaded to a "main" folder, and to do that we have to download the existing version to our server and then generate a separate request to upload the file.
Ideally, we would be able to combine the requests into one - a COPY (https://box-content.readme.io/reference#copy-a-file) that can overwrite an existing file in the destination folder if the appropriate etag is supplied during the copy request.
5 votesThis is not something we will build due to other roadmap commitments.
Alternatively, you could always upload latest version to “backup folder,” delete file from “current version” folder, then copy “backup folder” version to “current version” folder.
This will get you 100% version history in backup folder and avoid the need to download & upload the file a second time.

Autocomplete & search for Tags should not be case sensitive
Right now, Tags are case sensitive. Meaning if you have a tag like "Olive", and you start typing a search for "o", the "Olive" tag won't show up.

Whitelist a domain to bypass External Collaborator Expiration setting
White list a domain which would allow to bypass the limit imposed on external collaborators. Basically, rather than the same limit on all external collaborators, set limits on individual / domain.

Add ‘Number of Versions’ Search Filter
Add a new “Number of Versions” filter to the Search page in Box that allows you to filter by number of versions a file has. For example, “Only show me files with the word ‘cloud’ that have less than 10 versions”.

Improve Iconography for Bookmarks
Currently, the Bookmarks Icon offers no distinction between a bookmark to another folder, file, or external site. Users are less likely to click on these bookmarks since the icon looks like a hyperlink instead of a folder.
Request:
(1) Allow user to identify if the bookmark is to another Box folder, File or External Site when creating it.
(2) Based on the user's selection, update the icons for bookmarks to look like a folder or file icon as opposed to a generic link/bookmark icon.5 votes -

Ability to Upload an Email in PDF format to Box
Box for Office: Add capability to upload PDF of a selected email to Box as a PDF (with options to also PDFs attachments appended to the email PDF).
Rationale: It is against policy to store MSG files, however, archiving of email content is a high volume activity for many teams. Our company uses an Outlook enabled NuancePDF add-in, but the process of exporting a PDF, then uploading to Box is tedious
5 votesCurrently we’re not looking to store email backups in Box. However, we are investigating the idea of attaching emails to specific documents that would give more context to the document/file.

Because Watermarking is built as an enterprise-wide feature, we don’t currently plan to limit access to it to only certain users as this would be antithetical to how we do enterprise features as a whole in the product.
If we decide to add the ability to limit folder settings to certain levels of users, then I could see us changing watermarking to fit that pattern.

Receive notification when transfer of content is completed
When deleting and transferring content to another user and an error is thrown, it is not clear to the user when all the content has successfully been moved due to the error message thrown.
We would like to know when all the content has finally completed so we can delete the user without any concerns.

Instead of being able to only "reset" the external passwords, we want to block the ability for users to use/access their external passwords.
