Allow multiple System Email Signatures
Use case of legal requirements/terms for sharing different types of data externally to be able to use multiple System Email Signatures. example: Assign a SES to a 'Footage' root folder where security footage is shared from versus a SES for 'Plans' which have much different requirements to accept.

Specific Text Box Area for Notifications
Problem: Whenever a notification popup shows up (file is done uploading, file has moved, etc) it blocks access to a lot of functionality in the upper part of the screen - even something that is to the left or right of the notification but is not covered up.
Rather than having a popup notification to tell you that an event has finished (such as a file or folder being moved), instead create a static notification area to report to.

Expand Window for Select Folders
Change the Select Folder to Add window to a FULLSCREEN, adjustable, or with horizontal scrolling. I have PROPERTY folders and DEPT subfolders that I can't read in the mini window provided. I can skip this step and then go to the share and invite them, but it should not be required. I can't keep guessing whether or not I am assigning them to Human Resources or Housekeeping, simply because I can't see what I selected.

Additional suggestions for creating reports by specifying keys when creating Box reports
I want to accurately manage the content owned by the tenant's managed users. Currently, I am creating a report of "folders and files" of Box to retrieve data, and the output report is divided into 1 million object units. (My tenant is currently making about 70.).
Since these reports are not sorted and the contents owned by each user are output to a file separately, they cannot be used even if they can be output at the same time. Our company automates report merging and folder sorting, which can take several hours.
As an improvement request, it is requested to…

Ability to retrieve the number of files for each folder through API
The Box API allows users to get a list of the files contained in a folder, but it does not provide a direct way to get the number of files per folder, so we would like to provide a way to get the number of files.

Allow Box Sign widget on web page
Allow a Box Sign form based on a template to be posted on a web page via a widget where it can be signed by anyone that can access the web page and/or downloaded to be signed off-line and returned using a manual separate process.
For example, I may have a generic form that can be completed by anyone interested in requesting a service or receiving information but the form requires a name and signature acknowledging terms and conditions before the request will be put into queue to be processed.

Update File Request Date range
File Request Date selector should show a wider range of years when selecting from the dropdown.
Currently it shows from 10 years in the past to 10 years in the future. This makes entering date of birth very difficult.

Ability to view the appropriate number of files on the Mobile app
I use Box to deliver Photo Proofs to clients. It is crazy that there hasn't been a proper update would allow me to see their 'favorites'. Instead I have to rely on "Comments", which for clients on the go and using the Mobile App, is usually a hasel. I'm also trying to figure out why the script for correcting the Usage Space has not been rolled out across the board. I'm still waiting for the script to run on my account, because I'm definitely not using 40 gigs of my 50 gigs right now.

Ability to manage access via a box group
We have several Enterprise Box folders that we want all Box users to have access to as default. It has been a challenge to manage a group of all Box users manually. Would it be possible to have a Box group that automatically updates and includes all Box users so that it can be used to grant access to enterprise wide data that needs to be available to all users.

Ability to send custom notifications for new uploads by external users
A customer of ours reached out to ask if it is possible to configure email notifications for a Box folder to send to anyone who uploads a document into this folder. Specifically she is asking whether an automatic reply email can be created and sent to anyone who uploads a file into a folder she owns. This folder is for admissions purposes, so having every uploader adjust their email notification settings is not a practical solution in this case. Since this is not currently an option for Box, I wanted to submit this feedback to suggest for future releases.

Can't access a file shared with me

Want more thumbnails of PDFs on Android devices
Unlike Drop Box, which shows PDF thumbnails, Box's mobile app doesn't show thumbnails for Android. If it's iOS version, I can display PDF thumbnails.
Since I have to open each file and check the PDF contents, it takes time and is very inconvenient, so I would like to modify it so that the thumbnails can be displayed in the Box app for Android.

When moving / copying a file in the web app, allow me to paste a URL for a destination folder
I often interact with box folders via the web app (people send me links to specific files). When moving around files, I find it EXTREMELY HARD to find the destination folder that I want. This especially frustrating when I have that same folder open in a different tab.
In the move/copy dialog, I'd love to be able to paste the URL of a folder, and have box automatically jump to that destination. Searching for "Status Updates" is useless, if, when I search, I see all "Status Update" folders I have access to, and not the one tucked under "Project Pineapple"…

Prioritize "Open with" on document "..."
Reduce the list of when you click the "..." on a document so "Open with" is always shown on the screen. Currently, when you click the "..." next to a specific file it opens a whole list of options from which to choose, including "Open With" which I use a lot. However, recently the list length was increased and now the "Open with," probably the most used function, is pushed off the top of my screen - very annoying. On another note, allow me to post a pic here showing the issue...

Ability to Change Sort Order
I'd like to be able to switch the sort order of folders to descending so I don't have to keep making multiple clicks each time I'm in and out of folders. The default is from oldest to newest, and I'd like to be able to reverse that and keep that as a preference.
