File Version Control
Control which versions of a file were sent to box.com instead of auto-saving to Box
1 voteThank you for this suggestion. The benefit of this feature is outweighed by the cost to other users. We’re happy to review additional use case data.

Create Persistent Access Tokens
We want to embed a folder into our sales portal. We want our users/partners to be able to search within the folder.
We don't want to manage a separate code repo just for generating a downscoped token. Would be great if Box could support downscoped permanent tokens to cover these use cases.
We cannot search with in a folder with an embed widget.

Make the digest header in the Commit Upload endpoint optional
Currently, Commit Upload endpoint requires passing a Digest header for the sha1 of the entire file.
Given that the integrity of each file part is already verified, consider making the Digest header in the Commit Upload endpoint optional

Allow Recents to be filtered via API
Currently Recents is implemented globally across all Box content the user has access to. Ideally, Recents could be filtered to some ancestor folder IDs (like Search is) to show Recent items only within a particular folder.
The use case is a custom application which is integrated with a company's primary Box instance. A custom app wanting to leverage the Recents feature does not have a way to get Recent items relevant to just the application content.

Setting which prevents users from being able to delete commenting
Business unit has a requirement to prevent users from deleting comments to comply with audit requirements.
We were suggested using user activity reports to see when people had deleted comments, reactively - but we do not want to build a process to generate a user activity report to reactively investigate a case.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! This is a narrow use case which does not have broad impact. We will review other use cases and continue to monitor demand.

We had a similar “Like” feature for files and it was confusing and not helpful for our users.
We would need to understand why a user would need this and how it would benefit the work they are trying to get done.

Allow admins greater control of Box Edit upgrade process
When Box Edit automatically upgrades upon the release of a new version, there is no way for Admins to stop it and then allow the update at a more optimal time. This can be very troubling for companies with large deployment with the .MSI.
After installation or an upgrade, a user needs to either manually launch Box Edit.exe and Box Local Com Service.exe or log out of their user account and log back in to get the processes running.
At a large scale, this just is not practical and causes a lot of confusion for users and admins alike.

Removed cached files when file uploaded and closed
We use a Citrix system and would like to reduce the number of cached files e have stored after using Box Edit. We would like the cached file to be deleted after the user logs out

Box Drive Login Authentication status window
User would like to have a status window to display the authentication process of Box Drive. This would make it more visible to the more basic users since the login process only shows in the system tray icon.

Change save behavior for users with read-only access (Viewer)
Change to save to desktop instead of Box folder and/or change prompt that file cannot be uploaded to appear after a longer interval or display as a problem file
Our user is extremely annoyed by the prompt telling them the file cannot be uploaded repeatedly (every 3 seconds).

Add "Shared Link" or "Copy Link" option from the search interface
Instead of having to right click for more options, add this to the right sidebar or to the search interface. Otherwise, all we think we can do from the Box Drive folder is open a file.

File name for Box Drive files is NOT displayed fully in File Explorer
In order to expose the full file name the user must manually extend the file explorer in width.
