Reports: Replace User ID in the Legal Hold Report with User's Email
In the current Legal Hold report export (Excel file), users are referred to by their User ID (e.g., 123233124) which isn't really helpful for an admin to identify 'who' that is.
Using email address would be a much better field to include, either replacing the User ID field OR adding in Email as an additional column.

Add permission that allows Group Admins to delete user accounts in their group and transfer content
We want the option to give full granular account management capabilities to Group Admins, including the ability for Group Admins to delete an account or transfer data to another user.
Without this, IT is still required to get involved for deprovisioning. They'd have the option to give this ability to Group Admins for their departments or groups as a granular permission

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
3 votesThanks for the suggestion. Please continue to post use cases and feedback, to help us prioritize for a future release.

Ability for a folder owner to opt-out of email notifications when a collaborator shares or accepts an invitation
An Admin owns all folders for the enterprise and she receives an email every time a collaborator invites another user to the folder, and then again when it's accepted.
It caused a lot of noise in her inbox. Short of setting up an Outlook rule, the Admin would like to opt-out of these notifications.
This would be helpful for enterprises whose admin's own the content, or at least root level folders for their users.

Enable users to sign (not just send) with DocuSign
Currently, you can only send a document to be signed, triggering an email to the signee. However, in other cases, we need to have specific forms or contracts signed on the spot, which is something the current integration with DocuSign does not support.
3 votesWhat is the use case for which a user would need to sign a file directly in Box, as opposed to using DocuSign App to do so or signing upon clicking on the triggered email?

Watermark on Download when user has View Upload rights
We need users who have Viewer Uploader rights to always have a document watermarked on DL. According to the ACL, Viewer Uploaders download without the Watermark.

Search - Allow searching of shared links to files/folders that you've clicked on
Be able to conduct searches on shared links that you've clicked on. For example, files that are in a user's Recents but for which they are not a collaborator

Grid View - Ability to Show/Hide Item Names
By default, Grid View in the New UI shows information below the item preview (such as name, etc.).
REQUEST: Introduce a 'show/hide' option that would allow the user to switch between only showing the thumbnails vs. showing the thumbnails with the additional information (like name, etc.) to provide an enhanced grid view experience when in a folder with many image/video files.
3 votesThis is not currently planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

Support deleting the current version
Currently there is no way to delete the current version or head of the version history. The only way to achieve the same effect is to promote a previous version and delete what was once the current version.

Add comments to different versions of files
Box has version control (it essentially stores every update of a file, i.e. saving the file), however without adding comments it still hard to use it as an actual version control system. Is there a possibility to add comments to file version?

Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive
We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.
Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

Show Date Uploaded, instead of Date Created for new files in Box Drive
Right now, when a file is uploaded to Box, the dated modified date shows the date the file was uploaded however, on Box Drive the date modified is the date the file was created.
We would like to see the date the file was uploaded on Box Drive, as it appears on the webapp.

Trigger a Box error when insufficient permissions to open a file in Box Drive
Right now, if you attempt to open a file from your Box Drive that you do not have download permissions to, it will throw a local application error and not a Box error indicating a permission issue.
From the end user perspective, this would indicate there was something wrong with this file or Box Drive failed to open.

Enterprise whitelist to apply "internal" collaboration settings
Our parent company has a large number of subsidiaries that have their own unique EIDs for a number of reasons (branding, administration, SSO settings). We also have extremely locked down external collaboration settings and as such are requesting the ability to have a whitelist of other Box enterprises that could be subject to the internal collaboration settings (e.g. no timeout on collaboration).
3 votesWe are not likely to implement this. From a customer experience perspective, it would be difficult to explain to companies not in this situation why another enterprise can enforce different collaboration settings on their users.

Version-Specific Shared Link Option
Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

Version number in Legal Holds Report
Legal Holds Report includes "File Version ID", but this value is like "109680448118".
We have to call APIs to get the actual version number. It's more useful to include "sequence_id" in Legal Holds Report.
3 votesThank you for the submission! This is not work we have scoped in the near term, but will reconsider with additional customers supporting this suggestion.

Outlook: Option for Attaching Actual File (Not the Shared Link)
Allow user to attach actual file (not the shared link) when using the 'Attach from Box' button within Outlook (via Box for Office).
Currently when a user uses the 'Attach from Box' button in Outlook, they're only able to add the file's shared link to the email. There are various scenarios where users (still) need to attach the actual file instead.
3 votesThis does not align with our product philosophy. Users can attach a shared link with download permissions.
I would be interested to hear the use case for attaching files directly to the email.

Allow editors to overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget
Currently editors cannot overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget. It makes sense for editors to be able to change this option.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

"Accept Invite" emails to folders should redirect you to login/account creation
Current scenario:
- Invited a non-Box user to a folder (in regular Chrome Window)
- Non-Box user went to their email and clicked on "Accept Invite" (Went on an - Incognito browser to complete the flow for the Non-Box User account)
- Non-Box User is sent to a "Box Collaborator Sign Up" page so that they can create a new Box account - (looks like this - https://app.box.com/s/5www70u7wuo4x3myb5w5yf91kdwi5c5g)
- After entering info, click "Submit"
- Immediately re-directed to your new Box account
- In your new Box account, you will see the pending invite to the folder you were invited to on the All Files…
3 votesThank you for this highlight!
This is a bit awkward, but not a high priority to fix given our team’s current priorities. We will reconsider with additional demand.
