Change prompt message for shared-folder deletion
Currently the message is "Are you sure you want to delete this item",
but when it is shared by other people, in most cases users are not aware that other collaborators will not be able to access that folder and all included files.Suggest the message to be specific and please also add additional prompt like "Are you sure? This folder has XX items in it." since we have experienced few times that root folders are deleted and 1-2 days are needed to restore.

Allow users to limit simultaneous uploads
We would like to control the number of uploads that upload simultaneously (ie ability to limit to 1). The belief is that, if files are uploading 5 at a time, and they fail 80% of the way through upload, you have to start again, whereas if it was uploading 1 at a time, and worked its way through 80 percent of the queue, less files would need to be retried

Populate accessible_by field in get collaborations
When managing collaborators, the end user needs to see who they have sent invitations to, even if those invitations have not yet been accepted and the other user has not created a box account. The call to get collaborations on a file or folder returns accessible_by: null for pending collaboration requests, essentially hiding the details of the pending requests and making it impossible to display those details to a user in a custom app. This data is definitely available because this feature exists in the main Box.com interface, but has not been exposed to the APIs yet.

Add a tab in the admin console to find all active betas
It's difficult to find the beta sign up link for betas in the admin console. They are not all in one place.
Please create a tab in the admin console to find all active betas a customer can sign up for. This will standardize beta enrollment and improve our experience.

Perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files which they can access
Requesting to perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files they have access to, not just the ones they own. Include fields like – date modified, created date, and any other file attributes normally included in the file and folder report.
The File and Folder reporting mechanism but it’s lacking features to perform an inventory across hundreds of specific folders (in an environment where a lot of folders have the same name).
The content manager, only reports on files that users own and they don’t own files in our taxonomy. The initial view looks good as…

Apply disposition action based on "Move" date
We would like to move active projects to a completed projects folder that deletes content after 30 days.
The disposition action should occur 30 days after the project is closed and the folder is moved, rather than when the files were initially uploaded or last edited.
We cannot apply a policy to the active folder because we need to be able to delete files.

A deletion specific reporting tool would help us locate deleted files that we don't know the owner or deleter of.
