Private comments
Ability to create a private comment. Right now, all comments are public (all collaborators can see). We would like to have a feature to make the comment private so that only user who posted it can see.

Make login screen text easier to edit
In the admin console, there's a "Login Page" section, where it's possible to set a message that appears for all users on the Box login page. Currently, editing/formatting that message requires both access to the admin console, a knowledge of HTML, and an understanding of which HTML tags are and are not valid in that message.
As the information posted as a part of that message is often something that comes from communications staff, not technical staff, those barriers to editing it are significant. It would be nice if there was both a way to delegate the editing of that…

Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)
We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.

Add URLs and email addresses to collaborator invites
We would like the ability to have a URL link and email addresses within the body of Collaboration Invites.
Now URLs are no longer allowed, and our use case was to provide clients we’re sharing data with a link to other pages for context, and an email address for contact, like “alias@domain.com” within the email.
As a work around, we're forced to generate our own emails manually using shared links, which is more cumbersome, prone to user error and potentially less secure.

Add refresh button to Box Drive
Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.

Folder Tree View in WebApp (Windows Explorer/Finder, eBuilder)
I noticed that Box does not have a high-level folder tree view, except in the 'All Files' page (you click on the arrow next to "All Files"). Many Box folders in my company's folder structure take a very long time to load - however the folder tree view on the 'All Files' page loads quicker, but still not as fast as another application like eBuilder. Having a permanent option on the web application would be very efficient when tracking down files, and load times won't be as cumbersome. Currently, having to click through multiple folders in order to access the…

Define version limits by user, folder or file
We like the ability to set the number of file versions per user, folder or file
14 votesHi, this is an interesting idea, however, we would be worried about the configuration complexity of adding differing version limits below the enterprise level.

Use autocomplete to select metadata templates
I have a metadata field that contains a choice list that is 35 items long. Rather than scrolling down to select one, I want to type the first letter and have it jump down the list to the first item with that letter as the first letter.
Before your most recent upgrade of the metadata functionality, I could type a letter or two into a select field and the field would auto complete with the choice in the drop down that most matches it. Now I can no longer type into the drop down list field. This really reduces usability…

Multiple files in one shared link
We would like to send multiple documents from separate folders in a single shared link.
Currently when you select multiple files, you are limited to files within one folder, and the files are sent with a shared link for each file.
Possible solve: "Bundle zone" in the web UI where you could drag and drop files from different folders, and once you have all the ones you want, tell it to generate a single shared link which would display like a folder to the recipient, without the user having to rearrange their content.

Ability to set folder notifications for external and internal collaborators within a folder.
Companies with many external collaborators have to walk each user through changing their folder notification settings so the external collaborator will be notified whenever a document is uploaded to a folder. This is extremely manual for us and their external collaborators. It would be easier if folder owners could set folder notifications for everyone within the folder so external collaborators receive the sames notifications as internal collaborators.

Separate shared links for internal and external users.
We want to be able to share links internally and externally. External shared links should only be available for 10 days while internal shared links should not expire.
14 votesInteresting suggestion! However, this is not planned at this time due to competing priorities.

Remove the login button from a shared link preview.
Login buttons do not belong in a link that is mean for viewing a document.

Smart Archive
Ability to report on content that hasn't been accessed, modified etc after a certain period of time and ideally take action e.g. delete or move to archive.

Allow co-owners (not just owners) to extend auto-expiration date for external collaborators.
The primary reason why we have not enabled the auto-expiration for Collaborators is because only folder Owners will receive notifications of expiring collaborators and links, and only Owners will have the ability to extend the expiration date. In our instance, the Primary BoxAdmin account owns all content (and users are not allowed to create root-level folders, they're only co-owners).
If this ability were extended to Co-Owners, then this enterprise setting would be feasible for us. It has to be up to the co-owners to receive the notifications and determine whether or not to extend the sharing (since they have the…

Disallow special characters that are not accepted by Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
in order to minimize issues with prohibited characters in Box Drive/Sync.
14 votesWe don’t have plans to disallow the use of certain characters on Drive, but we can consider improving the UX when a file error occurs due to one of these unsupported characters
