Make it easier for users to specify their preferred text editor (or any other type of editor)
In many tech companies, different developer staff have different preferences on what text editors to use when editing files with Box Edit. Although the default editor for text files can be changed by modifying a registry key on the user's PC, the customer IT team (who does not like the idea of users modifying their PC registry) would like to have a user option where the user can specify their preferred text editor (similar to what is currently available in the Box user settings for Word, PPT and Excel files).
1 voteThe Box Edit app relies on the ‘default’ app settings that you have chosen at the OS-level (meaning in Windows settings or macOS settings) for what is the ‘default’ app for opening a given file type. If you’d like a specific file type opened in a different desktop app on their computer, simply change your default app settings within your Windows or macOS settings.
We only have a native preference in the Box web app when a specific file type has additional cloud-based editing integrations available on Box (like Office files, for example).

Web App: Grey-out "Allow users to join as" setting when blocked via admin console.
We have many users who have opened up tickets or ask questions in regards to the folder setting “Allow anyone who can access this folder from a shared link to join as a collaborator. Allow users to join as.”
This option is disabled, yet unlike the other options which are disabled, this is not greyed out. It throws a non-descript error of “Sorry, there was a problem saving the settings for this folder” which leads users to believe there is an issue with their access level, rather than this is not current functionality. Can we please have this option greyed…

File Checker
I would like my program to be able to access all .pdf files in a given folder, and read them to find and extract specific information on each .pdf document like scraping the text data in each of the .pdf fields. This data would then be used to compare to an excel spreadsheet.
This would essentially be a file checker. Making sure that the information entered on a .pdf file is the information that we have on a separate excel spreadsheet.
Thoughts?

Do not display custom logo/branding by country or region

Improve CORS whitelist wildcard support
I would love to be able to use wildcards in CORS with a little more specificity. In particular, for review apps on Heroku, you will have a url that is auto-generated for each pull request, so something like http://my-app-dev-pr-523.herokuapp.com. I would like to be able to add http://my-app-dev-pr*.herokuapp.com to the CORS list but it currently flags that is an improper URL so I have to do the much more broad (less secure) http://*.herokuapp.com

Allow for obfuscated URL references
When sharing a URL there are situations where one would rather obfuscate the company name (instead of showing such). Perhaps either there can be a "substitute" name that would be known to Box but would not be determineable by a recipient.
This feature is key when supplying evidence and wanting to avoid be named as a witness. At the moment, our company name appears in the URL making us a target for deposition.

Prevent users from knowing whether or not a valid Box account exists in signup flow
You should not let users know that an account exists due to security reasons. This gives away the identity of email addresses associated with Box accounts. Please update your account creation flow accordingly.

Send account creation emails without password language
We turn off "account creation" emails because of SSO.
Now when a user is added to the account, they are not going to receive any email letting them know the account is available for use.
It would be much better if we could simply remove the password reset language from the welcome message, but still send it.

Allow filtering by application name or service type within the reporting UI (ie: Box FTP Server).
Currently, I can filter in the reporting UI by clicking things like the user or file name from the reporting results. I used to be able to click on "Service: etc", but it didn't do anything.
Box has since removed the ability to click on this, but we would find it helpful to be able to filter these results within the reporting UI.

Rollback option when db crash
After creating folder or uploading files into box there will be chance of occuring backend database crash or lose connection between datasource . In this case we should roll back our transaction(like revert folder creation or file upload).
1 voteMany actions in both are idemptotent and can be safely retried. For those which are not, it is the responsibility of a client to implement transaction guarantees if required. There are common patterns for this such as the two-phase commit and SAGA pattern. If there is more information for a specific capability that is required to faciliate these, please add that to the comments.

Allow Admin Deployment of Box Drive for Upgrades over Network
We use a deployment software and are able to use it successfully for all upgrades except Box Drive. This is due to the fact that there is a prompt for confirmation that the upgrade will cause loss connection and in a ticket was told there was no way to force it to continue.
What I'd like to see is a way for either through a deployment software, GPO, or PowerShell, be able to force upgrades at start-up. This would ensure that users are not yet accessing files that could be messed up.
