Show full filename in Box Search
Box Search cuts off long file names. If the file name is prefaced with the date or other info, the information one actually needs from the file name may be hidden from the user.
This can be solved by making the Box Search window larger, making it as large as the longest filename, or by showing the filename when a user mouses over the filename or file icon, or when a user uses the arrow keys to select (but not yet open) a file in the Box Search results.

Bring back pagination
Please bring back pagination! I work with thousands of files and continuous scrolling makes it much harder to search for the last file I was working on. Pagination allows me to view a certain number of files on a page which helps so much when working with thousands of files of data.

Allow Excel to open "Export Users" report (csv) without worrying about garbled characters
Admin Console > Users&Groups > Managed Users > Export Users
Please change "Export Users" report to the format of the UTF8 csv file with BOM
The format of the "Export Users" report has been changed to csv.
Therefore, when you import it into Excel as it is, the characters will be garbled.The workaround now:
We change it to csv file with UTF8 BOM in a text editor now before importing it into Excel.However, this workaround would required few extra steps before importing it into Excel.

Box Drive icon size
Would like for the Box Drive icons to be bigger again. On the latest version of Box Drive 2.16, they are smaller and that makes it harder for them to determine whether or not files are locked.

My Collection folders to be kept open when opening another My Collection Folder
Hi Team,
A client has requested to be able to keep the My Collection folders open when they open another My Collection folder.
Currently, when you select one of the folders in the left side menu, you can only open up one folder. When you select a new folder, it closes the previous one.
It would be great if it is possible to keep the previous folders open unless the user wants to close it by clicking again.Thank you in advance for your consideration.
7 votesThanks for the feedback. We have decided to allow only one expanded collections in the left side menu so we can maximize the performance of loading the left side menu.

"Smart Access: Download restriction" for G-Suite
We want "Smart Access: Download restriction" to control the download/printing capability of G-Suite apps. We want the integration just like office online which restrict download/print on office online apps.
For security perspective, we want to minimize the risk of data breach, so we are planning to store the confidential files on box and restrict the content to be downloaded to the devices. However currently if user opened the files on G-Suite, the files can be downloaded or printed.

Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.
In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.

File Request Email Validation
Provide the ability to have the email address provided in a File Request form to be validated either generically to make sure the email is a real address or to require them to authenticate themselves. This is critical for organizations that have strict security and compliance requirements and can't accept the risk of someone getting a hold of the File Request link and uploading malicious content or inundate their folders with nonsense files.
7 votesI suggest customers look into Shield, a newer Box offering that provides malware detection. If turned on, it scans all content uploaded to Box including the ones from file requests (as well as any file when it's active - e.g., on preview, share, edit, copy, etc. events)

Pre-defined reporting
Request for Box to create pre-defined reports. Currently, we have to input criteria everytime, reallocate the parameters and reset it up again. Goal is to have admin be able to pre-populate a report thats saved and say run it every Sunday night. Any thought to utilizing Relay to run Manual Start, predefined reports?

Review files marked for offline
Allow a user to quickly review all files/folders they have marked for offline use to make sure it's still needed.
When a user is remote or in the current covid-19 'work from home' doctrine, the ability to have better control over what's being downloaded is more important than ever.

Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity
When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.7 votes -

Universally apply multiple templates to a file
Universal metadata fields:
Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
A metadata template can be applied, but within…7 votes
