Add ability to batch rename multiple files
I'd like to be able to select all contents of a folder (ex. images taken by a particular photographer at an event) and standardize all file names (ex. EventPhotographer Name (1), EventPhotographer Name (2),...)
This is simple to do in Windows Explorer, but I really do not want to download and then re-upload for something so minor!4 votes -
Change the Box Logo
A box logo can’t be made of a cute font.
It should be boxy. Sharp angles. Makes sense.This is my interpretation to the box;

API to sync folders for users.
If we could sync folders directly through our internal web app it would cut several steps out of user workflows. I would love to put a sync slider next to the job line so they could sync directly from this screen.
Specifically, I am talking about leveraging the tools via APIs. So having an API we could leverage to sync folders down for users.
4 votesThis request cannot practically be implemented as an API. A client needs to control the state of local items on an endpoint such as a user’s computer, much like the Box Drive or Box Mobile clients do today. The only planned supported means for such synchronization capabilities are the Box Drive and Mobile clients.

Ability to set default application for Box Edit opening .md file
Sometimes Box Edit opening files in the program not set as default on MacOS
If a user installs Xcode on Mac OS, the user cannot open .md files with default application which set on Mac OS. The user would like to open .md file with Atom.app but it opened with Xcode.
User can do nothing to change the application. it is the OS that it's selecting XCode when it's installed.4 votes -
Drive: Available offline to specific folders and not enterprise wide
We would like to allow available offline for user drives only or work spaces. But network shares which is considerable larger shouldn't have this option. So If we allow admins the ability to choose what folders can be marked for offline instead of enterprise wide.

Ability to nest skill card metadata in the entries of skill cards
lets say I've created a custom skill that runs a transcription on a dropped audio or video file, identifying speakers a prepending the speaker title to each segment of continuously spoken text. If I could nest skill cards, I could run sentiment analysis on each segment and generate a skill card representing that (as a timeline card) while also cross linking any other areas of the file which had the same sentiment rating (using the provided 'appears').
This is just one example, but the flexibility would would lend its self to many more complicated implementations, possibly negating the need for…

Include a Disable Preview Option
I've been using BOX for years and the only complaint is from my clients who download from my shared links. Almost 90% of users complain that they get the message
"We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported."I understand from your viewpoint but from our viewpoint, we dont require such preview because our files are .zip, .rar, .7z, etc.
So PLEASE enable some option where I can enable or disable the auto-preview.
Remember, you guys are a cloud storage 1st solution. My clients should be able to download anything as simply as possible without getting confused about some…4 votes -
Save the default view for STL files on upload
We would like the ability to save the default view for STL files to save the orientation, render mode, and camera projection within the web preview
We used to be able to save the default view for STL files within a Box3d Metadata of the file. We no longer have that ability.

Provide BIM management in Box to access Construction market
As we are partnering with Autocad to integrate Box in there tools, it would be great to support BIM file formats, which are starting to get more and more common in construction and building management industries.

Box Notes section on mobile app
Similar to the web version of Box, it would be great to have a button that takes you to all Box Notes. Having this consistency between the web app and the mobile app would help improve the user experience.

Default to 100% zoom out for 360 preview
When you use 360 preview, it is zoomed in a little bit by default right after opening the file. We always have to zoom out to get the full picture. We would like the 360 preview not be zoomed in right after opening and have the preview start zoomed out.

@mention notifications should know when you @mention yourself
Change messaging of @mention emails when @mentioning yourself. Currently it says “someone” @mentioned you, while it would make more sense to provide a response such as “you mentioned yourself in a comment.”
