Redirect collaborator invite email links to ent.box.com as opposed to app.box.com for enterprises that have Box Verified Enterprise enabled
Currently, when a managed user in the BVE-enabled instance invites an external collaborator into a folder, the invite email takes the collaborator to app.box.com to login.
This redirect action, however, will fail with external collaborators who are in China.

Disable notification triggered by integration or specific collaborator
We are using Druva to back-up the data. But Druva downloads all the data and triggers large amounts of email notifications. We want the ability to disable the notifications for actions triggered by the integration

Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality
Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:
templateKey = template
filters = {"value": 2}Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.
a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.
b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

Support opening apps from App Gallery in a new tab or window.
With 141 pages of apps in the marketplace, if I page through and find an app that I want more detail on, I click the app link (I cannot open this in another tab or window).
This takes me to a page with more detail on the app. However if I go back to the marketplace, it takes me back to page 1. I then have to page through scores of views just to get back to where I left off.
1 voteWe plan on refreshing our App Marketplace, and as such this issue should no longer be relevant.

CAPTCHA localization
When logging into Box via OAuth, a user may be presented with a CAPTCHA challenge. This CAPTCHA challenge is not localized, i.e., it may be presented in a language that does not match the Box customer's account language.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Customize 'Get Training' Link in '?' Menu
Currently the '?' menu in the webapp header includes a few links, including the following blurb: "Need more help? Visit our Help Center or Get Training"
'Help Center' by default links to the Box Community site (community.box.com), but we allow admins to override this link via the 'Support Site URL' field in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Custom Setup.
'Get Training' is also linked in the blurb above (linking to training.box.com), but we currently do NOT allow admins to customize this URL.
This is problematic for some customers (especially large customers) that have fully staffed internal training teams that…

Send a notification sent to user's when their password is about to expire.
We use read only sync as a primary use case. Because users do not log into the webapp, they are not aware when their password expires and files are not being synced.
1 voteThank you for this request!
We will review this with additional demand.

Enterprise settings should trump individual folder settings
My only recommendation is that Enterprise Settings should override individual setting and not the other way around. What if the Enterprise Site Admin account was compromised?
1 voteThank you for submitting this suggestion.
We’re unlikely to look into changing our settings restriction model without additional customers requesting such an investigation. We will monitor this for additional feedback.

Allow users to set a.box.com as their default engagement method to Box through a web browser.
The ability for a user to go to box.com or cloud.box.com or domain.box.com and set the accessible version of Box as default for a specific user or group of users.
This would allow users with unique needs such as visual impairments to navigate to their preference without first making a conscious decision to head to a.box.com or through box.com
1 voteWe strive to integrate accessibility into the Box Web App.

Allow users to adjust line spacing between items shown in list view
In the new Box UI, some users are asking for the ability to adjust the spacing between items shown in list view (some users want to widen this while others want to cram things closer together)
1 voteWe do plan to offer an Accessibility Mode where users can set font to be larger and contrast to be higher, but we don’t plan to allow complete customization of spacing

Change the default message in text Box when inviting new collaborator to a folder
Would like to be able to change the default text in this section to another default text. Currently, you can manually edit this section every time you add a new user to a folder. We want to be able to change what populates this section by default.
1 voteWe are unlikely to build a setting to enable changes to this default. However, if there is a better default message that may work for all of our customers, we are happy to reconsider.

Ability to print Box Notes from Box on iOS
We would like the ability to print a Box Note from their mobile device.
We have this capability in Box Notes on desktop but not on the mobile application.

Add "expand all" flag for annotations
Currently, all point/comment annotations are collapsed by default.
If a user leaves many annotations on a multi page document, this can lead to some point annotations being missed.
There should be an expand all option to mitigate this.

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.

Ability to change File extension in 'save as' for Office on premise integration
When saving a file in Office on prem, we would like to have the ability to change the file extension for docx to pdf.
We have a number of legal processes where e have to be able to create pdfs. At the moment, we have to save the file to the desktop as a pdf and then re-upload to Box.
