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

Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task
When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.
The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.
Our use case is this:
Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
Finance Director and CFO approve the task.

Opening multiple files at once
It would greatly improve flow and user experience to be able to open multiple PDFs at once. Our team must review numerous individual PDFs, and we have only ever been able to open one PDF at a time. It becomes a tedious task to open each individual PDF.

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
10 votesThanks for the feedback. Currently, collections are sorted by 1) Favorites and 2) personal Collections in alphabetical order. We do not have plans currently to allow renaming items or sorting order.

User activity report
In the activity report, exporting Collaboration Approval gives the following output:
Invite external users to the "folder" of your company tenant.
Only the folders invited to "Processed Items" are displayed.Invite external users to the "file" of your company tenant
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 -
transferring annotations
Hi. I'm a professor and I created a BoxNote with a text I want my students to annotate collaboratively. I added some annotations, comments, and hyperlinks to get them started. Then I copied this BoxNote to another folder for a second section of the class. The hyperlinks transferred, but the annotations and comments did not. It would be cool if BoxNote supported the total transfer of material in a text, not just the hyperlinks. AND I can't copy and paste all those annotations so now I have to type it all up from scratch. That's a drag. Please design a…

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 votesWe are not planning to bring API endpoint for settings update, as many settings require manual input after asynchronous data aquisition outside of Box.

Allow users to easily set retention on an individual file or folder
End users need to have the ability to easily apply retention policies to individual documents. They should be able to click an apply policy button, choose the policy and click OK
Policies should be able to be configured so that users only see policies that apply to them or they have access to.10 votesPlease help us understand the use case more, as the ability to apply retention is typically not extended to end users.

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 -

The Box for Excel Online integration limits the size of an Excel document that can be edited to 5 MB. This is on the small side. Can this size limit be increased?
