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.

New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)
Other applications (like Slack) have a user-level free text field (similar to a User Description / Information field) where admins or users can enter free text to describe the user.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

External User Box Access Workflow
We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"
Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.
There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.

Bring back the "Login with SSO" link on the login page
User from universities have 2 email addresses, one they are not always aware of. They are not being re-directed to the SSO login page when they enter the alias instead of the email address on their box account causing confusion. Previously, they would have been redirected

Disable ability to use a secondary password
We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.
Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

While this is a very understandable request, most customers are using a third-party eDiscovery tool and therefore we’d like to focus on higher and broader impact features.

Add 'Released Holds' Section to Legal Holds UI
Currently, there's no way (aside from digging through Box events) to look at Legal Hold policies that have been 'released'.
This means that once a user clicks 'Release' on a hold, there's no UI for that hold anymore whatsoever.
Digging through unique events in Usage Logs is not an answer to 'show me the holds that we've released - I want to take a quick look at the holds the team has been releasing recently'.
REQUEST: Add a 'Released Holds' section to the bottom of the existing Legal Holds UI in the Admin Console.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion.
We explored this during our initial investigations, and our customers told us they did not want record of prior holds in this view, thus potentially implicating them in still being responsible for the litigation.
This is not planned work but may be reconsidered if there is a ton of customer feedback to the contrary.

Upload Excel files on iPad to Box
Would really benefit from being able to upload Excel files on iPad to Box for when doing remote work.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! You should be able to upload from the Office apps. Otherwise, this is an iOS limitation.

Lite Users added to Groups when rolled in as a managed user
When lite users are rolled in, the admins would like to have the ability to add users to groups within the WebApp UI, instead of having to add users to groups 'AFTER' they are rolled in

Role configuration on group sharing
In Enterprise setting -> Content & Sharing -> Collaborating on Content Tab, you can configure which role to enable and the permission those roles gets. This setting only applies to individual collaborator but not Group. You can disable Co-owner in that setting but still see it available when doing folder sharing with group.
We assume that the setting above is a global thing and applies to both individual collaborators and groups, so we find it a little confusing.
Can you put an extra option like "Apply the same role setting to group" in "Collaborating on Content" tab to better demarcate…

Visually denote already shared folders as in Shared Folders interface for Group Admins.
When adding folders to groups in new interface, a list of all folders is shown including folders that have already been added. This is confusing and can cause additional workflow, having to go back and forth to see what has and hasn't been added.
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the experience to manage users before we add enhancements to the group management process.

Have an enterprise-facing/admin notice that external collaborators have certain single-file upload limits (250 mb, 2 GB, 5 GB, etc.)
Currently, the responsibility lies on the external collaborator (they receive a message to upgrade their account), but admin would like a way to know if external collaborators have these limits

Our EMM solution is Blackberry Enterprise Mobility Suite. We have no plans for migrating to an alternate EMM provider.

Allow third party mobile apps to "Use EMM" for login instead of direct Box API
Instead of having users log into Box from other third party apps, have them use the auth from Box EMM. This allows Box to whitelist EMM for logins. Box should know for all integrations that the login from the 3rd party app is from a trusted device (since EMM is on it)
1 voteWe’ve explored this idea, but it does not appear technically feasible at this time. We are happy to revisit with additional demand.

Separate current mobile admin console features to iOS and Android-specific
The current mobile settings in Admin Console apply for both iOS and Android. For organizations with complex requirements and technical solutions, it does not always make sense to have the same settings on both OS. It would be helpful to have the set of options for iOS and the set of options for Android.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! We will review this again with additional consumer demand.

Error handling for session timeout
When a users session ends and they attempt to upload a file using the drag and drop feature they are receiving a generic error message when they really just need to login.
This is giving end users the impression they have done something wrong or Box is not working correctly
