Different Custom Terms of Service for Specific External Collaborators
Looking for a way to use different custom terms of service for different external domains since currently you can only use one set of terms for all external users
4 votesThere is a significant amount of admin UI complexity that this feature would introduce. At this time, we don’t plan to add this.

Improve experience of GETting all users for large enterprises
Large enterprises will often run nightly jobs to get a list of all users to sync w/ their own AD or for other purposes.
It would be nice to be able to get the entire population via a single API call (say, return a link to a csv file or a .zip of several csv files) or at least increase the limit. For customers with >50k users, it can be painful to make many API calls to get the whole list of users.
4 votesWe do not currently plan to provide all users via a single API request. For nightly synchronization of large user populations such such as the one described in this request, a more appropriate method would be to request relevant user and group events for that day from the enterprise events API and apply the changes there. When using this strategy, a full synchronization should only be required initially and in the case of some corruption or drift between the two systems.

Add link to file location to problem file report page
Many users are prevented from troubleshooting their own problem files because they do not navigate to the actual location of the issue, or they do not really know what file has a problem. This is also a very common sense UX improvement (that would be easy to do)

Persistent Box Drive login for non-persistent virtual environments
Persistent Box Drive login for non-persistent virtual environments. Currently, our employees working in Citrix have to login to Box Drive every day, but they do not need to re-login to other Box tools, such as Box for Office.

Ability to Suppress Login Screen from Popping Up
Often times customers want to deploy the Box desktop apps, including Box Sync, prior to users actually being able to log in and create their accounts. Currently, Box Sync auto-starts upon startup to a user's computer, which causes the Box Sync login window to constantly appear.
This request is to provide a simple way for admins deploying the apps to suppress that login page until a later point in time.
4 votesWe’ll look to improve this behavior in Box Drive. No changes planned to Box Sync.

Show amount of time left to complete upload and the number of files remaining
It only shows a progress bar but I would like a % complete and time to complete on the progress bar as well. Also if it could show number of files that are being uploaded and how many are left. That would be very helpful when I am uploading a lot of documents and want to know long it will take to upload.
4 votesWe currently have a progress bar in the upload manager that indicates percentage complete. Adding an estimate for time could be helpful for users, but we won’t be able to prioritize this ask due to conflicting priorities – I’d suggest using the percentage complete as a benchmark for now.

Ability to set different permissions based on where the user is accessing from (i.e. either from inside or outside of the company network)
We want the ability to control permission based on where the user is accessing from. For example, if the user accesses from inside the company network (IP range) they shall have editor permission. But if user accesses from outside, they shall have preview only permission.

Special characters searchable in content manager
The ability to search with the filename and extension within quotes, i.e. workshop.one
Right now search separates the two and makes it difficult to locate the file, as it would be searching for "workshop one"

Unable to see folders users have access to through Group invitations
A group is given access to a folder on Box (ie Project A). When the admin views what folders a specific user in Project A has access to, it does not show the collaborated folder for Project A

New 'Limited' Content Manager Permission - No ability to preview or download files/folders
A new co-admin option that's more even more restrictive than the current 'View users' content' Content Manager role with the following abilities:
--View users (like currently possible)
--Browse user folder trees (like currently possible)
--View file properties (uploaded, version #, modified, name, description, etc.)
--View collaborators on folders and add new collaborators to folders
--NO ability to preview or download files or folders (this is the critical item that's missing currently for Coke as even the 'view' Content Manager role currently allows the co-admin to preview and download files/folders)This could possibly also be solved by breaking up the Content…
4 votesWe may tackle this as we look at a broader re-work of Content Manager.

The User Filter is built to only look at the list of current, managed users, so it would be quite difficult to include deleted users.

Report on who deleted from trash
Currently we have configured our Box instance to disallow end users to delete files, only for Admins and not even auto-delete items after X days. However, we are looking for some record/log of this.
4 votesIt will be super helpful to understand the business impact to report on who deleted from trash. At this moment, admins can configure rules to delete trash after a certain period time. This doc would be helpful: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Files-and-Folders/Trash/ta-p/19212

Feature Request: Add Folder Tree View with Result Count Display in Box Search
Currently, Box's search results page does not provide a folder tree view, making it impossible for users to visually understand how search results are distributed across the folder hierarchy. Users need the ability to exclude irrelevant department folders from their search results, but there is currently no way to get an overview of the folder structure within search results. We request the addition of a folder tree view in the search results page that displays the number of hits per folder and subfolder. This would allow users to drill down into the most relevant folders and refine their searches more…

Network Connectivity Insights in Admin Console
As an Admin, it would be useful to have network/connectivity insights available in the Admin Console for the identification of slow speeds / network issues across the tenant.
This would allow the proactive investigation into network issues such as slow uploads/downloads and office-specific issues.
