Feature requests
I wish Box notes were more like DropBox Paper. Top things I like:
- The editor is essentially a live Markdown editor so nearly all formatting doesn’t require leaving the keyboard.
- Full support for Markdown export.
- Comments can be attached to each paragraph - so much better than the one thread per Box note.
- Links are properly clickable without the silly ‘link bubble’
- Auto-generated ToC

Rename items and custom order in Collections
Collections are great! Now the possibility to customize the display order as well as to rename items without affecting the actual folder/file name would be great additions

The folder path is displayed in "Processing item", but the file name and file ID of the invitation file are not displayed.
This specification confuses the user and is not suitable for following the path to the invite folder.
Please unify "Folder path", "Folder/file name" and "Folder/file ID" as output results.10 votes -
Set enterprise settings via api
We have an open risk item on the Box platform due to lack of controls on change management.
Specifically:
Box console settings must be manually performed across dev, test and production environments.
Lack of automated mechanisms to maintain consistency with the settings across the environments may allow weaknesses in lower environments (dev/test) to be exploited to exfiltrate data or modify data or inconsistencies between functionality tested in lower environments and what is configured in prod.
We would like the ability to be able to configure the settings via API so we can build environment management into out CICD pipeline. We…10 votes -

We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.
We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.
By setting the metadata that means the confidential level to the folder and assigning the metadata in cascade, we can track the subsequent access status of the objects placed under the target folder.
By tracking the activity of files with specific metadata (such as sensitivity level), we can detect data usage and security issues.
By using such a method, we can detect security problems that could not be detected in the past, such as image data that is difficult to detect with DLP.10 votes -
