Shared Links - Ability to Have Multiple Shared Links per Item (Folder/File)
Currently, Box's shared link system is a 1:1 ratio between items (files/folders) and shared links, meaning there's 1 shared link per item.
However, there are various scenarios where users would like to have the ability to create multiple shared links per item, each link with different permissions, etc.
Example Use Case: For File A...
--I want one 'people with the link' link with a password added and an auto-expiration set for 10 days from today so that I can share this link to time-sensitive content externally
--I also want a persistent 'people in your company' link that my internal colleagues…3 votes -
More option for IP whitelisting
Currently, there are 2 options for IP whitelisting which are "webapp only" and "all endpoints". Is it possible to switch "API" as new option? I think "webapp only", "webapp+API", and "all endpoints" are enough options.
There are many enterprises using cloud-based IDP like Azure AD, Okta and Centrify which can implement Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning using Box API. When "all endpoints" is set, IdP's Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning fails because they use Box API. Some enterprises are choosing "all endpoint" in Japan for their security reason, so I would appreciate if you could consider this request seriously.

Subfolder Sync: Don't Sync the Files Located in the Parent Folder Path
One of the nuances of Box Sync 4.X's 'subfolder sync' feature is that files that are located in the folders of the parent path for the synced subfolder are also synced, which creates a weird, and unexpected, experience for end users.
Reference: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync/How-Do-I-Sync-Subfolders-In-Box-Sync-4-0/ta-p/116
REQUEST: Fix this behavior so that even when only a subfolder is marked for 'syncing', none of the files in the parent folders are also inadvertently synced, and instead only sync the parent folders to keep the path in tact.

Error message shown for failed uploads could be more descriptive or specific.
"There was a problem downloading the items. Please try again" is the provided error message for a downloading error.
We would like this message to be more descriptive and potentially include information around which specific files have and haven't been successful so that users able to continue the download as required.
3 votesThanks for the feedback. We understand the use case and potential value in this type of update. While its not on the roadmap at this time, we’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Prevent End Users from Updating Email Aliases in Account Settings
Current: Users are able to add any email addresses as aliases to their accounts
Request: Create a setting in the Admin Console that can be enabled to prevent end users from modifying their aliases if it is being managed by Admins via API/SAML. Alternatively, enable a setting that limits users to only be able to add email aliases that match registered domains for the EID.

Ability to disable "user added another user to your folder as a collaborator" email notifications.
We've built an app that centers around adding users to folders owned by a service account. We had over 150k notifications in a single day, accounting for 80% of their email traffic to a single inbox for a brief period. We've have added a rule to block these incoming emails, but we are not satisfied with this solution and urgently request the ability to turn these off.

Notes Desktop App - Add App to Mac & Windows App Stores
We push users toward downloading software from the Mac and Windows App Stores, especially the Mac App Store as that is Apple's officially 'approved' method for downloading software to a computer.
3 votesThanks for the feedback! App store versions of our desktop app are not currently planned on our roadmap. We’ll continue to monitor and may revisit in a future planning cycle based on customer feedback.

Expose the functionality for auto-deleting folders and files on a specific date via the API.
Currently, the web app has a file/folder setting in which a folder or file can be deleted on a specific date. We don't expose this service via the API.
We work with documents in packages (folders) and so when the documents expire and are deleted, we would also like the containing folder to be deleted as well. All of these packages are customer applications and so if not cleaned up then they will accumulate over time.
Right now, retention deals with files only, leaving behind the folders. The auto-delete on the folder is perfect for this purpose except that it…

Make it easier for Viewer-Uploader role to copy files
File copy is not easy to access to viewer-uploader users (only doable via shortcut). This doesn’t help to implement a scenario where users need to create documents from templates they are not granted to modify.

We do not plan to make custom terms of service more granular at this time, as the admin / user complexity of configuring and maintaining n number of ToS policies would be very high.

Allow for in-line document edits for Approve/Reject step
We want the ability to actually edit the document (not just provide comments in preview pane) as part of an Approve/Reject step. Rather than having an edit step followed by Approve/Reject we would like to accomplish with one task - the key is they'd like to be able to provide edits inline and reject it back to a certain step in the workflow. On some occasions they would also make edits and approve

Template Version History
We would like to have a history of changes made to templates so if they modify one they can revert back if needed or have a record of who changed what/when - one use case is for compliance templates they need insight in to who created/when but also iterations of the template
