  2. Specify the error in the Tracking section

    Feature request suggestion: Currently all it says is "Unable to create folder: An error occurred in the workflow". It would've been helpful to see that the error was in the folder name. If there's a lack of space, we can list all the possible reasons for the error on Community too (I think we have a similar list for Sync/Drive errors).

  4. suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin

    Suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin, so Box admin can review all the items have been deleted from all users, because currently Box admin can only see the trash items per each user in "content" tab, or have to generate the report for that. So it's not really convenient. Please put this as new feature request in your road map. Thanks.

  5. "Comments" - Feed to read most recent at the top/oldest at the bottom

    To make the "comments" feature more easier to read and follow as a team. It would be great if we have the option/it was the default for the most recent comments to appear at the top, and the oldest to appear at the bottom. This would prevent people from needing the extra step of scrolling all the way down to keep up to date/missing something because they didn't scroll.

    We're trying to persuade the team to use this feature more and it would really help with this.

  6. Ability to attach a metadata template to a note template

    We would like a way of creating a note template bound to a metadata template. I’ve followed the instructions to create the template and to attach metadata. However, when creating a note using that custom template, there are no metadata attached by default. I want to avoid having to add the metadata template each time after creating a note.

  8. Ability to ban App Token Applications

    Currently, we can require users to get approval from admin to authorize apps, but that leads to a number of emails generated to the admin. We want the ability to ban users from creating App Token Applications.

  9. Links that open excel spreadsheets to a particular cell and/or worksheet

    A few of the users here at Quay Australia have asked me about how to send out links to spreadsheets saved to Box that will open the workbook in question to a particular worksheet and cell, like the capability in One Drive detailed here: https://superuser.com/questions/804139/can-i-modify-excel-online-share-urls-to-open-to-a-specific-worksheet. I've tried this method with a Box link and it just opens the file where the last editor left off. If you could develop this capability, many of my end-users at Quay Australia would be very thankful.

  10. Add avility to highlight differences between any 2 versions of BoxNotes.

    At this time, highlight is available but it is just once and never appear again.

    This idea makes it possible to view differences between the current version and the version one generation ago by showing hilights permanentily . Sure, any 2 versions of BoxNotes are better.

  12. Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention

    For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:

    1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane.…

  15. Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese in user icon

    Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese. Current behavior: first Japanese letter display twice. For example, user name in Japanese is 高橋 一郎。User icon will be 高高. This does not mean anything to Japanese user. Rather, customer expect to display 高橋 in user icon.

  17. Show full path for Box updates emails - new items were added to

    Please show the full folder path for the Box Updates emails that alert users that "new items were added to."
    There is no possible business case for showing only the tail end of the path/filename.
    Users might have multiple parent folders with identical subfolder structures, in which case showing only the tail end of the path doesn't allow the user to know which parent folder the update applies to.

  18. Email notifications for uploads to a folder are very delayed

    We would like to request the email service that is responsible for sending upload notifications to be in real time so we do not waste time having to double check with collaborators if they have uploaded something yet.

  19. Visual rep of all folder paths

    Reports: Provide a visual map of entire enterprise folder trees. An "org chart" of folders.

    When I run a report to provide managers of their data and where it's stored, it's a 10000+ line Excel file that share a path for lines and lines. Can this data be translated into a visual chart? Would be much cleaner. Thanks.
