Add-ons tab and drawing ability
The one crucial thing is that people cannot today leave google docs or other Word editing software. Because the G-suite integration misses the add-ons tab. You can buy stuff via the add-ons tab in google drive, like icons and symbols. These cannot be used in the g suite integration.
Also the draw option is not available. I want to be able to draw tables and figures in my documents, i can't do that. So if im Writing in a document, at some Point i have to stop and refer back to google drive, which makes the whole idea of using…

Add "Do not notify" to "Share this folder" dialog box
When inviting users to collaborate in a folder, it would be helpful to add a check box to Not Notify the users.
Larger folders can cause a lot of noise as users are added to a folder.
There are times the collaborators may need to be removed, then re-added to a folder - this generates confusing emails.7 votes -
Improve management of pending invitations via API
As we continue to build and customize the collaboration mechanism we found it difficult to manage pending invitations. When calling your API api.box.com/2.0/folders<folder_id>/collaborations it returns approved collaborators in the “accessibleby” object but when it return PENDING collaborators the “accessibleby” object is null, but there’s status “pending” on this collaborator. We would imagine it would capture the email address of that pending collaborator. Seeing this is capable in your public domain to show the pending collaborator with an email address would be very useful to create modules to manage pending collaborators (e.g. resending the invitation, update the email address,…

Add "Last Accessed Date" as a file property
Many cleanup/archival processes could be run via the API if this date was quickly accessible. Currently, one needs to look at events or reports to determine this date which is not feasible at scale for reports and Events API only goes back one year.

Define version limits by user, folder or file
We like the ability to set the number of file versions per user, folder or file
7 votesHi, this is an interesting idea, however, we would be worried about the configuration complexity of adding differing version limits below the enterprise level.

Box Tools install to be shown as "Box Edit" instead of "Box Tools"
While I understand the Box Tools installer also contains the Box Local Com Server application, it is there to support Box Edit so labeling the entire installation more explicitly as Box Edit, instead of Box Tools, will be more clear.
7 votesThanks for your feedback. It’s called Box Tools because it actually contains both Box Edit and Device Trust capabilities in this one installer.

Shared Link Default Setting
I propose that the default Shared Link setting be the strictest available setting "People in this Folder" rather than "People with the Link". In my opinion, the default setting should be the more confidential / private one and force the user to opt to share the link with outside parties. In my experience, many users have not understood to update that setting.

Block users by geography
We'd like the ability to block users from accessing our Box environment from certain geographical areas, via a control in the admin console’s insights page (the geographic activity area).
7 votesWhile we like this idea, it is not currently planned at this time.

Option to open links directly in desktop applications (rather than Box Preview)
Currently when I receive a link to a file on Box via email, clicking the link takes me to Box Preview. A couple of steps are needed before I can open the file using the relevant desktop application (e.g. Word, rather than Word Online or Box Preview), which is invariably what I want to do. It is problematic to need to access files via a web browser if I am not connected to the internet or if my connection is poor. Please could you introduce a way to quickly open lists directly in desktop applications?

FTP uploads currently allow illegal filenames or unsupported characters in filenames. This triggers sync and file errors in Box Drive.
7 votesThank you for your request. However, this is not something we will be focusing on this year. We will revisit this with additional demand.

Add "Copy' and 'open' functionality to the Viewer permission
A Viewer cannot copy a file within Box, but be aware that Viewers have the ability to download the file and upload it somewhere else.
If users are still able to download and then re-upload content, what are the potential downfalls of providing them with the copy functionality as part of the Viewer permission?

Collaborators Page (Item-Level) - Add Multi-Select for Changing Permissions/Removing Collaborators
Add multi-select to the Item Collaborators page (the Collaborators page at the folder level) to allow for changing permissions, including removing, for multiple collaborators at once.
7 votesThank you for the suggestion! We do not plan to incorporate this change in our roadmap. We will let you know if anything changes.

Reporting - Add EID, tenant name and proper folder name to Outbound collaboration report
Current Outbound collaboration report display outbound collaborator's login and folder ID. Administrator cannot exactly tell who those users are with this limited information.
If EID, Tenant name, and Folder name could be added Administrator could gain more insight on who their managed users are collaborating with and prevent data lost.

Run a report which shows the users last log in date.
Currently, admins can run user statistics report but this does not show an exact date. Admins can run a user activity report, but this will return repeated users log in rather than last login.

Allow FTP/FTPS access by user
We would like the option to allow certain users to upload FTP, but not everyone in the enterprise. Right now, it's either all or nothing when disabling access to FTP.
