Preview in icon rather than the normal file type icon display
We uses several files, often with long naming conventions, within folders. We generally access these files through iPads while working remotely.
Preview often does not load for all of our files so we would like to have the file type icon that normally is next to the file name be a small preview of the file. This would allow our agents to quickly see a glimpse of the file before having to load the preview for all of the files.
0 votesThe loading time for the file and folder tree would cause massive performance issues if they were thumbnail views. That being said, we may explore alternative methods to resolving the long file name issue.

Not to allow content to be deleted from FOLDERS instead of trash when a retention policy is applied.
0 votesThe intention behind the design of Retention is that users can change their folder structure in a way that is relevant to them while preserving the enforcement of Retention rules. We do not plan to change users’ ability to move things to trash at this time.

Re-associate accounts when deleted user with same email re-joins enterprise
We need the ability to re-associate accounts when deleted user with the same email address joins (re-joins) our enterprise.
We have many scenarios where contractors become employees or employees are re-hired. We would like these transitions to be seamless from a Box perspective.
0 votesThank you for your suggestion! The best way to temporarily disable user accounts is to change the user status to inactive.

Error Update Notification
Users sometimes get errors that "There was an error with "etc." Please try again later.
For example, a user accidentally deleted a large folder tree that they needed to restore. When they tried to restore it, they were told this item was still in the process of deleting and to try again later.
We would like an email when this action completes so we can continue with our work (in this case, a folder restore)
0 votesThanks for your feedback. We are currently trying to reduce the number of email notifications we send users, so will not be considering adding new emails in the short-medium term.

Ability to set a custom attribute in the Box Capture application
We would like the ability to set an attribute in the Box Capture application to automatically name photos with a desired store name.
For example, rather than automatically name the photo 2016-05-23_001.jpg, we would like to have the option to set the default name via an attribute or prefix that would enable them to more easily identify, search on, and organize them.
As an example they would like the option in the Box Capture application to be able to Set Photo Name Prefix to "Boise" so that the resulting photos would be saved to Box as: Boise2016-05-23001.jpg; Boise…
0 votesThanks for the feedback. We’ll be exploring a better way of providing value in the naming convention of repeated saving actions within a session.

Documents password protected in external applications (such as Excel) preview as garbled text.
It would be better to have some sort of messaging that explained these types of documents aren't supported

We believe our efforts are better spent making it easier to keep permissions up to date on folder vs. different expiry on collab invites.

Audit behavior of how enterprise settings are applied.
Most of our settings are applied day forward. We should add an option to apply immediately to all existing users and folders.
Day forward settings for example are Expiration settings, Domain Whitelist settings.
0 votesRetroactive application of settings is not scalable. We are unlikely to implement this change and the current behavior is by design.

Password reset email notifications to admins: Add possibility for admin to auto-reply to the affected user
When Enterprise Setting: Notify Admins when users request a password reset email is checked, any other admin will to receive a notification whenever one of their Managed users request a new password.
It would help being able to reply to the managed user from this notification in order to provide better interactivity between admin/user and control/security over the request.
0 votesThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature. Please keep submitting your use cases!

Auto-update Python
The version of Python that is installed with Sync doesn't auto update. Concerned about security vulnerability.
0 votesPython 2.7 and 3 are both supported releases. Python 2.7 will be supported through 2020.
We review and update our python version periodically through Sync auto-update. We currently use python 2.7.9 with Box Sync. We plan to update to the latest version (2.7.11+).
We only install Python to Box specific location on Windows (%ProgramFiles%\Box\Box Sync) and Mac (inside Box Sync.app bundle). Other applications will not use our python installation.
We reviewed the CVE list of Python and there’s no CVE that requires immediate update from 2.7.9.

Previews may load more slowly the first time if the file has not been converted yet. Some file types may not be pre-converted. Subsequent viewings should be faster for these files.
Preview loading performance is something we’re always focused on improving, but there are no specific efforts on the roadmap for this right now.

PFX files contain both the public certificate and private key. We only plan to check public certificates, which can be separated from the PFX by installing and exporting as .cer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/403174/convert-pfx-to-cer

When 'Prevent users from accessing NetSuite content from their Box account' is enabled - users will not receive notification if they are @mentioned

Our new release of “Box Verified” is designed to try to solve this issue by allowing a box subdomain that is specific to enterprises (and not to personal users).
This is a different approach, but there are so many technical issues with the customer-domain approach (HTTPS certs, DNS syncing, etc.) that it is not feasible at this time.

Only AV checks and FW checks will not work on Windows Server today. This is because the info we use to evaluate is not available on Servers (it is available on Windows Workstations).
This enhancement is not planned for now, but we will investigate what will be required to support Windows Server in the future.

Preview support for .nor and .jdr
This is driving recording video format
0 votesThis is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.
