Unify move and copy behavior between BoxDrive and the Web browser.
There is a detrimental effect caused by the fact that BoxDrive and the Web browser have different specifications for the operation of "move and copy," which is a basic operation of Box (it is actually upload and download).
In particular, the fact that Shield's Access Policy and Classification Labels "maintain the original labels when moved and copied" is a major reason to use that feature.
However, BoxDrive does not maintain labels, which does not lead to enhanced security or control of usage.
Since there are many users who use BoxDrive as their main application, we would like to see the…42 votesIt's working as designed.

Set default file view and sort options by folder (and all sub folders for that folder)
Ideally, let an owner or editor of a folder set the default view (list or grid) and sort order of the files.
The system default appears to be by date the file was updated which is rarely (if ever) what our users want.
Re: view options: For photos especially, the list view is rarely the preferred view.
Additionally, with the grid view, allow the size of the image also be set as a default.
This may not be an admin console enhancement. I think it needs to be a under More when you’re looking a a folder.

Lock Entire Folder (and all files and folders underneath)
Product Enhancement Request: In the same way that I can currently lock files, it would be great if I could lock things at the folder level and that lock would apply to all files and subfolders within the main folder.
42 votesThank you for the feedback! At this time, we cannot prioritize this request, but will keep this under consideration for future feature prioritization.

Image Shared Link Permissions should Match the Box Note's Shared Link Permission
For example, when a Box Note's shared link is set to 'people with the link', all images in the Box Note should also automatically be updated to be 'people with the link' links.
The current issue is that when I set a Box Note's link to 'people with the link' but my company's shared link default is 'people in your company', all the embedded images in the Box Note are still set to 'people in your company', meaning if a non-authenticated user accesses the 'people with the link' Box Note link, they'll see 'insufficient privileges' for all the images in…
42 votesThank you for the feedback. We understand that the current permissions behavior for Box Notes images is not necessarily intuitive, and are actively looking into ways to improve that user experience. We don’t yet have a timeline for delivery, but will update here when its available.

Requests regarding Box For Teams V2
I would like to use the Box For Teams V2 integration, but the following functions are bottlenecks and cannot be used.
Therefore, I want to be able to turn off only the following functions in the tenant settings.
・Automatic creation of Box folders for teams/channels
・Automatic mapping of user permissionsIn most cases, Japanese companies use a controlled system in which the administrator owns the items.
However, if folders are automatically created or permissions are automatically attached with the Box For Teams V2 integration, control cannot be taken, so we requested this.

Export Groups - Add an 'Export Groups' Button to Groups Summary Page & Individual Group Page
There is currently no way for admins to export a report (xlsx) of their Groups - whether at the summary Groups level or at the individual Group level
This is problematic for companies that have pages and pages of Groups in the Admin Console, or want to manage just one group (as the current Export Users report from the Users page - the only place any Group info IS currently exported - exports ALL users in an EID, which is overload).
REQUEST 1: Groups Summary Export - Desired Columns:
1 Row per Group / Mirror the Columns on the Groups…41 votesInteresting idea, but unlikely to be prioritized this year.

Box Sign - Make PDF form fields fillable
Box Sign does not currently recognize embedded PDF form fields. You can add a text, date, checkbox, or signature field to a PDF document, but the original form fields are unavailable (but left intact).
Use case: We ask our contractors to complete IRS W-9 forms using the standard IRS fillable PDF forms. If Box Sign could recognize the embedded fields in the IRS forms, our contractors could fill out, sign, and file the forms in one process. As it is, we will have to send them the fillable PDF form, ask them to fill it in and send it to…

Transfer Workflow Ownership (not sending it as a template but as a workflow)
Recently the workflow ownership transfer has been released.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402945686291-Transferring-Your-Workflow-to-Another-UserHowever, this is to make the template of the workflow that is needed to be transferred.
There is a need to transfer the actual workflow for below reasons:
- the new owner needs to check the past workflow activity but with the template it is not possible
- since it is a template, the new owner still needs to make the workflow
Thank you for your consideration.
40 votesWe definitely want to address this use case (new owner sees past workflow activity) but do not have plans to address it in the near term. We will update when we have a firmer idea of when this can be tackled.

Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion
Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion

Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
40 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Make login page more intuitive for non-managed users
When users or collaborators visit Box from the customer's account, they get confused when they get directed to their SSO page and not the login page.
A suggestion is to have the user input their username before getting redirected to the SSO page or make the “not a part of COMPANY?” a bigger option and more visible for the user.
40 votesDue to other higher priority initiatives, this is not prioritized at this time.

@Mention Someone When Replying to an Annotation in a Box Note
iIt would be nice to be able to @mention someone in a Annotation within the Box Note. I know you can do it in the comments, but if a note is lengthy and you want to put someone's nose right to where you want them to look (or a tasks you've assigned them to), this would be nice to have.
-https://community.box.com/t5/Web-App-Forum/Mentions-in-Box-Notes-annotations/m-p/58648/highlight/false#M3342140 votesThanks for the feedback. Adding @mention to the body of the Note is something that we believe would improve the annotations experience in BoxNotes. Although we can’t prioritize this feature at the moment, we will consider this feature when planning our future roadmap.

Advanced Box search capabilities: Being able to search by Creator, Co-owner or Editor
We believe that there are some key data elements that should be filters in the search (and are collected by Box so they should be searchable) and hope to see them in the future. The main one is the "creator" since the "owner" is the only filter that allows you to determine who created the content. Since our Box instance is configured in a way where BoxAdmin owns all of our content, BoxAdmin is also the "owner" of everything. This makes search useless when someone is looking for content that they created.

Bulk Delete (Delete 2 or more users at once)
Add a native Bulk Delete tool on the Users tab of the Admin Console to complement the existing Bulk Add and Bulk Edit tools that we already have.
Key Asks:
1. Use a similar Excel sheet as the Bulk Add/Bulk Edit tool
2. Ability to have a column with the user email to be deleted
3. A column to choose who to automatically transfer the user's content to (the spreadsheet version of the existing Delete & Transfer UI that we have)
4. Columns to choose whether to notify each user (the user being deleted and the user receiving the deleted…40 votesWe are not planning releasing bulk delete functionality at this time since we are focusing our efforts on building faster and more usable users pages. We will revisit this feature request next year.

Office Online Only Setting
A setting that folder owners could implement that makes it so the document can only be opened/edited with Office Online.

Backup user folders to Box Drive
To make the capture and backup of user content on our users' local systems easier, Box Drive should have an option to automatically select and sync the contents of user folders on both Macs and Windows computers (e.g., Desktop, Documents, etc.).

Ability to pin a folder to remain at the top of the main Box Web App screen.
Either a user or an admin should be able to pin a folder.
Using favorites is the current alternative, but for usability purposes and sharing important content, pinning would be helpful as well
38 votesThank you for the suggestion. There are definitely use cases for which this would be useful, but it is not currently prioritized for this year. We will revisit this in the future.
