  1. Customize location of new Box Note upon creation

    Users shall be able to create a new box note while navigating through folders and have this note save back to the current location within their account.

    User shall be able to create a new note from a template, and have it save back to the folder they are navigating in.

    Currently, when notes are created via web app, they are saved back to a "My Box Notes" folder. This is not always useful, especially when using templates. Templates are likely to be reused by users and saved in multiple folders, not in a single Box Notes folder.

  4. Add ability to localize Metadata attributes and values

    When adding new values/attributes to a metadata template, the same value is used by all users regardless of user's locale.

    For companies that have users in a wide range of geographies, it would be helpful to be able to give metadata attributes/values different names for different locales.

  6. Group permission discrepancies between the API and the groups UI

    Currently, the Groups API endpoint allows for more granular permissions for collaborating and viewing content ("invitabilitylevel" is used to determine who can invite the group to collaborate on folders; "memberviewability_level" is used to determine who can view group members). It's possible for the values for each of these to be configured independently.

    The new Groups UI conflates these two parameters into one setting: "Permission Setting".

  8. Notifications on desktop and chrome notifications.

    Integrate Box notifications with the desktop notifications and chrome notifications. Windows 10, Apple Desktop Notifications. This would help with adoption as users are used to working within the desktop

  10. Box used to have style options for the embed folder/file widget.

    We liked the option to customize the Box Embed widget since we embed content on sites like intranets.

    When the style options change or are taken away, it really impacts site consistency. Now, we can now only select the widget size, but don't see the Dark or Light option any longer.

  11. Enable remote uploads with Box API

    Allow remote uploads with our upload API. OneDrive and Dropbox allow this method.

    Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#save-url
    OneDrive: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/OneDrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_upload_url

    We would like to upload files from external services directly and do not want to download the file to the client. Being able to upload files directly from external services will avoid deduplication of files.

  12. List and Grid support in the Content Explorer JavaScript Libraries

    The java script libraries for content explorer do not appear to have an option to include toggle list/grid views which is available in the Box Drive experience.

  13. Box Drive 'locked file' icon on Windows PC is gray, while the icon is red on Mac OS X

    The gray icon is hard to see on PCs due to the size and color. It would be great to improve parity between environments, and have the lock icon be red on both Mac and PCs.

  14. Allow the ability to multi-click print

    Currently in Drive (Windows only) you can print straight from Drive using the right click window pane.

    What you cannot do, is multi-select and right-click print. You can do this in Windows Explore.

  15. Add 'x' or cancel/clear button to clear out old search terms in Box Drive

    Box Drive keeps the previous search terms in the search bar. If the user wants to do a new search, they need to manually clear out the old text.

    Our user would like to have an "x" button at the end of the search bar they could click to clear the field, versus selecting the text to delete it manually

  16. Allow customization of webapp banner color, by providing admins with the option to choose a particular color for a classification level.

    We want to be able to edit the color of the in-app classification banner. We classify the security level of content by color as a visual indicator.

    This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

    This is a very niche use case that could help customers, but also negatively impact other customers.

    I would like to better understand the root problem before adding complexity to the product.

  18. Renaming and moving files/folders: include old and new names and locations in Enterprise Events call

    If renaming or moving a file or folder, Usage Log reports include both the new and old names, and new and old locations. The old location and old name are missing from Enterprise Events via the Content API.

    Thank you for this request! We do not plan on prioritizing this at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor demand.

  19. Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview

    When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.

    In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.

    This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.
