Large Folder Operation email notification when the operation is finished
I would like to have the user and admin to receive an email notification once the large folder operation (LFO) is finished so that each counterpart knows when the operation is finished.
46 votesWe're actively considering several initiatives to increase visibility around large folder operations, including notification mechanisms to track the status of such operations.
Please continue to share your feedback to help us prioritise this idea.

Go directly to the folder in Explorer/Finder
A one-click solution that takes me from a specific Box location in the web browser to the same location in Windows Explorer on my computer.

Ability to edit a document in real time with another collaborator through Box Drive.
46 votesBox Drive does support co-editing in iWork, but doesn’t support it for any other application type, as it’s dependent on the application vendor.

Allow Marking Folders as "Move Locked" To Prevent Users From Moving Certain Folders Regardless Of Permissions
Our admins are constantly dealing with users who accidentally drag and drop folders into other folders. This can have a big impact across our org, especially when a high level folder that's shared across the company is moved. Here's a common use case:
We have a top level Projects folder. That folder contains a subfolder for every organization we do business with. Those Organization folders then contain subfolders for individual projects. We'd like to be able to mark the Organization level folders as Move Locked so that our users don't accidentally move folders from one Organization into another. This happens…
45 votesThank you for the suggestion. Box currently offers the ability to lock folders using the folder lock API - https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/
We do not have a feature on our roadmap to expose this functionality from Box Drive. 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!

Sync alias/shortcut files on Box Drive
Box Drive currently does not support syncing alias files (I think these are called shortcuts on Windows machine), which is a basic file organization tool. Alternatively, expose the favorites from the box web app on box drive. At present, it's impossible to organize a list of your truly active files while working solely within Box Drive. Seems like making these file types available for syncing would be a simple solution to implement.
45 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.

Improve ability to see created tags and select tags
Need to be able to see and select tags that we have created. Right now we just have to guess what tags we have. And hope that we're spelling them correctly. Right now this lack of functionality is going to force us to keep looking for a tool to manage assets for a team.
45 votesThank you for your feedback! At this time, we are still researching this experience but do not have it planned on the roadmap.

Custom Watermarking based on metadata or manually.
Opportunity where main requirement was to distribute content to various locations, but add custom watermarking as they are published out. Typically with the location name content is publisehd to.
45 votesThis request is still under consideration. The team is working on its sequencing among the rest of enhancements for our watermarking capabilities.
Feel free to share any specific need on the customisation aspects of watermarks (texts, metadata specifics, etc) you may have, as well as use cases you are considering it for. Such details will be extremely helpful towards understanding this ask's impact.

Setting Folder Autodelete via API
The automatic deletion date of a folder can be set from the web screen, but it seems that it cannot be set from the API.
Could you please provide the ability to set this date from the API?
We have a process that automatically creates thousands of folders using the API, but since it is not possible to set an automatic deletion date, a large number of past folders will continue to remain.

Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.
We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

Add hardware token security for 2FA
Yubikeys and similar devices allow for hardware token security and are highly recommended. We want to implement it across devices (ipad, iphone, android, MacOS, Windows) and this must include Box
SMS 2 factor is considered very hackable and has been hacked many times.
How can we use Yubikeys with Box.com ? What are your plans on this?44 votesWe now have the ability to use TOTP for 2FA. In addition, admins can enforce TOTP for managed/external users.
We do want to support FIDO standards for 2FA in the future and will update this idea with more details once we have a concrete plan. -

Ability to specify the destination folder for periodic output of Box reports
We would like to be able to output Box reports periodically by specifying a folder.
Currently, it is possible to output reports on a regular basis, but when providing them to users, it is necessary to manually move the output results, which takes a lot of man-hours.
We would like to be able to fully automate this process, so we are making this request.■日本語
Boxレポートの定期出力をフォルダ指定で出力できるようにしてほしい。

Box Sign Signature Log to contain the sender's time zone instead of UTC.
I want the BoxSign signature log to be able to apply the tenant's set time zone.
Currently, the signature log is written in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
I would like to be able to set the tenant's time zone to make the log content explicit.
If the UTC is left as it is, there is a high possibility that the approval time will be pointed out in internal audits due to the difference from the actual time, as it is different from the time that we use regularly.
In addition, we are concerned that it will increase the man-hours of…43 votes -
Ability for users to set sorting preference
Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.
Please enable users to set the default sorting order for folders or restore the prior defaults

Locked Files
It would be REALLY great if there were a way in Box to pull up all of the files you have locked. My team shares tons of excel files all day long. If I forget to unlock a file, no one else knows if they can get in. Half the time I'm not in it but forgot to unlock it. If there were a way to pull up all files at any given time in one place that I've locked where I could unlock them from that screen if I'm no longer in them, it would save us a lot…
