Identify "retention policy" as the deleter of content
When an item is deleted by a retention policy, it just reads that "someone" deleted the item.
We would like the ability for the deleter to be named as something more explanatory like "retention policy" so it is more easily identifiable during an audit.

Hide admin from access stats when viewing/downloading content on legal hold
We do not want users on legal hold to know that their content is being previewed or downloaded. We want to be able to "hide" their actions from the access status.

Display warning notification (admin controls) for moving large files and folders.
We have large projects folders containing 5+ GB of data. Would like to have a warning notification similar to that of deleting a file, pop up when someone goes to move a file or folder.
Ideally this would have customizable parameters controlled by the admin such as warn users only when file contains over 100 mb or even a feature that requires admin approval over a certain amount.
We recently had one of our very large folders moved accidentally and it caused a huge bandwidth issue as well as displaced the many sub folders that various departments relied on.

Sync Mac finder tags between users
Box Sync doesn't sync Mac Finder tags. Box Drive doesn't support Mac Finder tag at all. Could be worth to better expose Box tagging into Box Drive

Increase the number of search results
Box Drive only returns 25 results, even though there are results more than that. The website returns more than Box Drive.

Support for UNC paths in Box For Desktop
We require UNC paths instead of local paths to be supported by Box Drive. Today - we're leveraging WebDAV, which is less than ideal.

Shared Links - Allow Linking to Specific Page of Document
Example: SlideShare allows you to create a shared link that opens the slides up directly into a specific slide. In this case, slide 10: http://www.slideshare.net/kaz.goto/ss-65352833/10
Box Use Case: I want to give you a link to a multi-slide/document file, but I want you to start on page 5 first.

Request to add Chunk Downloads, download resume feature
When a large file fails to download, users will have to start the download from the beginning all over again. We would like a retry/resume feature.
10 votesGood morning, Box supports 'HTTP Range Headers' for downloads that allow Browsers or any compatible client to request ranges of the data instead of the full file at once. This allows browsers to pause and resume downloads from Box. More details about HTTP Range Headers here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/R.

Manage Quarantine Programmatically (via API)
There is no way to manage the quarantine process programmatically. As a result, we must individually release / delete quarantined files via the UI.
Given that the policies have a tendency to generate false positives, this process becomes very time consuming and difficult to manage and requires valuable IT time to click buttons (often for hours).
At our scale, and since we opt to use DLP policies, it's impossible to manage.
10 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Access Stats: Ability to get Access Stats programmatically per-file
Provide an a file API endpoint to obtain Access stats similar to the functionality in the Webapp.
Right now, we have to collect all the relevant events and do the math every time to get an accurate count. This complicates the application logic. Would be much easier to obtain the stats without having to calculate them on your own just like the UI does.
For example having the ability to pass a field and get summary figures in the response. Having to create an event parser to do this is a high barrier to entry to get this type of…

Favorites in Sidebar - Custom User-Defined Sort Order
As of April 2018, Favorites now display directly in the Web App sidebar, sorted alphabetically.
This request is for supporting custom user-defined sort order for that list (being able to drag items within the sidebar itself to determine the sort order).

Metadata Search - Only Show Relevant Templates (That Are Already Applied to Content I have Access To)
Currently the Webapp Search UI filters for Metadata Templates show the user ALL Metadata Templates that are in their EID, regardless of whether the specific user actually has access to any content where that Template is being used.
This leads to a cluttered list of Metadata Templates in the webapp search filters UI when an EID has many Metadata Templates.10 votes -
Sorting - Don't Sort Folders First (Or Provide User-Level Setting to Choose)
The webapp (and mobile) have traditionally always sorted Folders, then Files (followed by Bookmarks) regardless of which sort order (name, updated, etc.) is chosen.

Suppress Notifications - Expand Scope to Suppress In-App Entries in the Updates Feed & Access Stats (for DLP & CASB Integrations)
Services (like DLP and CASB partners such as Netskope and Skyhigh) that use the Content API to scan Box content have the ability to suppress email notifications that would normally be generated for various activity (such as downloads, etc.). This is great as the activity from these services should be transparent and not exposed to the end user.
However, the Suppress Notifications header currently only applies to suppressing email notifications -- these entries for activity from these API-based services still are exposed in-app to end users on the Updates feed and in other locations such as Access Stats.
REQUEST: Expand…

SharePoint Online - Direct/Native Integration
Currently, the only way to 'integrate' Box with SharePoint in a standard way is to manually use an HTML web part in SharePoint to add a Box Embed widget to a SharePoint page.
This request is for an enhanced (and truly 'native') integration between SharePoint and Box such that:
- NATIVE WEB PART/UI: A user can easily 'add Box' to a SharePoint site/page
- AUTO-FOLDER CREATION: A Box folder tree can automatically be associated with a SharePoint site/page (instead of a Document Library in SharePoint), similar to the Salesforce integration
- PERMISSIONS: Automatic permission mapping such that the auto-created Box folder hierarchy 'inherits'…
