Shared link - colour code the link icon to advise who it is shared with Public, invited only etc
Currently if a file or folder has shared link enabled it, it places a blue symbol between the file name and last updated date. You have 2 options to see what the shared link is enabled as either by clicking onto the link symbol and it shows the properties of the enabled link or highlighting the folder/file and looking at details on the right hand side.
It would be better if the symbol was perhaps a different colour to show it was the different status e.g blue -invited only - green - people in your company - red -public

Need to send message with collaborator invite by using java SDK or any rest point
We have to automate the process where I need a code to send an optional message along with a collaborator invite. With Box Ui we can send optional message along with collaborator invite but I didn't find any method in BOX SDK .

Meta Data
Two Recommendations;
1) When a file or folder has metadata applied, having a ICON on record (similar to a shared link or description) be visible.. Currently you don't know UNLESS you select the item and do to details to see if template has been applied.2) When metadata is applied, showing the metadata values when you select the record similar go to Details would be be great.
When using Metadata the file or folder where the metadata is applied should clearly show (like a shared link or description) that met2 votes -
New / Folder Modal Window on Web App - Fields Lose Focus
I'm a creature of habit and don't like change, so there are plenty of grumblings I could make about the new UI.
That being said, there's one thing that absolutely gets my goat, and I'm told that this is "expected behavior" in the new web UI.
When I click the upper right "new" then "folder" and the "lightbox" modal window appears to add information about my new folder, the old UI would focus the cursor in the naming field allowing me to just start typing.
In the new UI, this window loses focus after a short load of some small…

Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory
It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

New folder name field not on by default
When you create a new folder the text box for the name field is not enabled by default, it used to be, now you have to click into it to begin typing. A minor thing but definitely a convenience.

Make all "Get link" modals copy the link to the user's clipbaord
In the Box UI, often when you click on "Get link" it not only shows you the link in a modal, but also automatically copies it to your clipboard. This is really helpful, as it saves the user an extra step.
However, this doesn't happen always. Sometimes when you get the share a link modal it just presents you with the URL, but you then have to manually copy this to your clipboard.So, it would be great if you applied the "automatically-copy-to-clipboard" pattern across all "Get link" scenarios throughout the Box UI.

I am trying to include external collaborators that have an email from my company, but Box counts the as internal users. How can I avoid this problem?

Remove large batch of collaborators from a shared folder.
It would be ideal if you could remove a large batch of collaborators from a shared folder en mass instead of one at a time.

I want the new Collections to all stay open, unless I close them
I don't want the other Collections to automatically toggle closed on the sidebar when I choose another one. I want the choice to close it.

Ability to differentiate where the login took place in reporting
When I run a User Activity report, it shows "Login" attempt but doesn't provide any detail about the login. I would like to be able to differentiate between login locations, e.g., how often are users logging in from mobile apps vs. web. If I could understand any sort of Sync usage, that would be useful too.

priority
Can we have an option to select or prioritize which comes first and so on. So you can setup a priority of uploads to a level of a single file upload.
Example: have several large files uploading now. and a small file that its not uploading until the large files are done.
If you can right click on the file and set to "urgent" or "push now".

Code scripts in MONOSPACE font type
Hi there,
I have several files, which are coding scripts; they are correctly recognised from browser side (.h, .m, .sh, etc...).
It would be absolutely USEFUL - both for reading and for sharing to my colleagues - to set the font to a MONOSPACE type one; the actual font is NOT GOOD for developers and for a correct viewing of code(s).
Is there any possibility to have this feature ?
Maybe a switch of fonts for single files, or - better - a monospace font associated to file extension(s).Thanks in advance. Giulio Rodonò.

Sign in with Google Across the Platform
Sign in options are inconsistent across the Box platform. If SAML/SSO or Sign in with Google is set up with an account, it should always be accessible in any place any user attempts to authenticate. I had an account without a password created via the Sign in with Google process and this meant there was one less password floating out there for account access. In order to sign in in certain parts of box.com or in Box Drive, I am required to set a password.

can_view_path not reflecting in Box Drive
We are utilizing the canviewpath api so whenever a folder is collaborated on this feature gets enabled. So rather than a user seeing just the folder they were collaborated in on their root level, they get to see the entire folder structure of where that folder exists. When this feature gets enabled it reflects immediately in the Box web app and the Box mobile app, but not in Box Drive. Sometimes it can takes days before the change takes effect. So during that time the folder is not available to the user in Box Drive. The only fixes…

Additional permission options for files
Hello:
The documentation for Collaborator Permission Levels at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels is very substantially incorrect. At the start of that article it says (capitalization mine):
"When inviting a person as a collaborator within a folder OR FILE, or sending a shared link, you have the ability to set the level of access that person has to your content. Refer to the following chart to review the different permissions that accompany each permission level:"
This is completely incorrect--the permissions in that article only refer to permissions for folders, not files. Files only get "Viewer" or "Editor" permissions.
Ideally it would be nice if…

need a setting to disable Recents Carousel
The new Recents Carousel (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052427834-New-Recents-Carousel-experience) shows thumbnails of sensitive files, exposing them to others when using box in an environment where other people can view the computer screen, and hiding the Recents section is only temporary for the current section, and will show again next time I log in. Suggestion: make a setting in Account Settings to turn off the Recents Carousel.

Allow Web-Sorting by Author’s Last Date Modified
Ours are legal documents and their Last Date Modified (by us, or by an author. NOT the date uploaded to Box) is a critical date. Some dates are many years old, created long before being uploaded to Box.
It's used in locating a single file among thousands. Do you seriously propose that our collaborators open the Properties of each file (among many hundreds) to see the Properties of each so as to locate the one file they need? What a terrible waste of Users’ time.
The date we moved a paper file from one office desk or filing drawer (or…
