Server side un-zipping of files
Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.
Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.

App launcher should use web URL, open in Box App, and encourage user to download Box App if not present.
I can create a link that will open the box app by using what is known as an applink. This technique is sometimes called Deep Linking.
'boxapp://' opens box on iOS or Android.
BUT traditionally this has left developers needing to try to catch and handle what happens when the Box app isn't already installed (which is also people's very first experience of the launcher app). This typically involves time-outs and other such messiness. By default if the app is not present, no helpful message is given. I note at present your html representation of content shows the 'get box…
2 votesThank you for your thorough description!
We support deep linking and universal links on iOS. All regular Box links should with the Box app today as long as their app invokes universal links the right way (ex: redirects ignore universal links).

Access Stats: Ability for Users in Restrict Content Creation EIDs to Still Use Export Feature
Provide a folder picker as part of the Export flow to allow users in EIDs with Restrict Content Creation to still take advantage of the Export feature.
2 votesThis is not a priority on our roadmap. We will revisit with additional customer demand.

Allow Save to PDF from Office to point to Box share.
Users currently use the "Save as Adobe PDF" which I believe is a plugin for Office. It generates a popup window for "Acrobat PDFMaker" which uses the standard Windows Explorer.
As a result, users need to save to local drive first, then upload to Box. They'd like to save a PDF directly to Box.

Logging in with Google Account on Android
Once you allow Box to login using your Google Account credentials on your computer, you should be able to login using those same Google Account credentials using 'Company credentials' at the login screen on your Android mobile device. This currently is not the case, but users are able to do this on their iPhones.
2 votesThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

Add ability to query if a user is under Legal Hold via API
Currently, Legal Hold objects have assignments, and if you get information about the assignments via the API you could see if a user was assigned to them.
However, we want to access it from the user perspective - something like an islegalheld field on the user object.

Ability to control what file information is visible when viewing file list
Some users have mentioned that it is more important to them to see the entire file name rather than have it truncated and see the timestamp and other details. The ability to choose what is visible on this page might be one way to resolve this.
2 votesThis is an intentional design decision. We will re-evaluate with additional user feedback.

Attach files from Box mobile app and not Files app.
Since the introduction of the Files app, it is impossible to access Box from an email except through the Files app.
If you are telling me that, post-Files, it will be impossible to attach a document from Box to an existing email chain, so be it. But that is an impediment to using Box as our mobile document management system.
2 votesThank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

Password Change Prompt on Mobile Login
If an end user must reset their password (either mandated by admin or enterprise settings), we would like that notification to appear when the user tries to log in on the mobile app
We would also like a notification when the password is going to expire (i.e., your password will expire in 7 days)
2 votesWe will re-evaluate this request based on additional customer demand.

Allow users to have over 100 group associations.
Many of our users are a part of over 100 groups in their AD, but Box won't add these users to these groups because Box has a group membership limit of 100 groups per user.
2 votesWe would recommend you consider using an API-based integration to import Groups into Box rather than the SAML approach for a better user experience.

Bounceback sent to admin when they send an email to noreply@box.com
When a comment is added to a file in Box a notification is sent to an end user from the email "noreply@box.com" If that recipient then replied to the email would the bounce back of being "undelivered" be controlled by Box or the admins email?
End users are currently not receiving a bounce back email and therefore unaware their comments are not being delivered so our admin is missing out on comments.

Show number of unread notifications on left menu bar
In the past, users were given the number of unread notification they have on the left menu bar. This has now been replaced by a red badge. We would prefer to have the number display so it is more accessible.

Quarantined Files - View Folder Path
Currently an admin looking at the Quarantine section of Content Manager is not shown any information about where the file was attempted to be uploaded, which is also where the file will exist if the admin clicks 'restore' (approves) the file.
REQUEST: Provide location information for quarantined files such as the folder path, owner, uploader, etc. This information is already in the policy violation email that's sent to admins, so it should also be available in Content Manager.
2 votesWe are not currently making any vast improvements on quarantine in the short term. This is still helpful. We will reconsider it when working on this feature area.
