2. Add/edit metadata to content directly in the app48 votes -
SSO exception
Ability to have exceptions for SSO for specific amdin accounts/test users. Use case: there's a series of admin accounts we use that own folders/content in Box but aren't actual users. Now when we want to turn on SSO - we now have to have OKTA accounts for those accounts and test users, when we'd prefer to just do Box 2FA for those vs. SSO enabled for all
47 votesUnfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap, that being said this is a very interesting request which we may consider in the mid-long term.

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.
Essentially, the opposite of "View on Box.com" Windows Explorer feature.47 votes -
Stop disabling access to content when its owner account is deactivated.
If content owner's account is disabled, any collaborators lose access to said content. A different workflow needs to be put into place to allow these collaborators access to content previously shared with them.
Either automatically transfer ownership to a co-owner or when the original owner account is being suspended, add options for preserving access to other collaborators.

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.

Lock Entire Folder (and all files and folders underneath)
Product Enhancement Request: In the same way that I can currently lock files, it would be great if I could lock things at the folder level and that lock would apply to all files and subfolders within the main folder.
46 votesThank you for the feedback! At this time, we cannot prioritize this request, but will keep this under consideration for future feature prioritization.

Edit in real time on Box Drive
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.

Ability to run custom in-app messaging banners from the Admin Console
Admins would like to create custom in-app messaging banners to display to their users when they are logged into Box.
In-App Messaging banners could be used to promote training, drive awareness and adoption, inform users of new features or internal policies, etc.

Automatic email response for file request submitter
Would like a feature whereby the person submitting files using Box File Request receives an automatic confirmation email with a customizable message. For example, after the submitter uploads files using the File Request web widget, that person gets a email to the effect of, "Thank you for contacting us. A team member will review your submittal and follow up within 24 hours." The person would be required to provide an email address but not required to have a Box account. Many of our external customers send us application materials using File Request, and then they contact us separately wanting to…

Box Drive Sync Delay Indicator
Box Drive is supposed to mirror the files on the server. But we experience delays of five minutes to over an hour between when we complete an upload to Box and when other users can see the file in Box Drive. We end up having to use the web portal more frequently to download files rather than waiting for them to appear, which creates version issues and nullifies the most attractive feature of Box Drive. The old Box Sync software used red or green dots to indicate if a file had synced. Is there a way to add such an…
45 votesThanks for the suggestion. Typically updates between box.com and Box Drive should happen very quickly. If they are not, we’d recommend filing a support ticket in case there is an issue.

Support Box Notes in Dark Mode
"notes are presented in a webview, so there are always black-text-on-white-background. We’d love to have it black-on-white, which should be doable by adjusting mobile css with dark appearance" - iOS Team

Shield Alert - mark as resolved
On the dashboard for Shield, you see a list of alerts generated through threat detection policies. We'd like to see the functionality where end users could mark an alert as seen and/or resolved so everyone who monitors the Shield alerts would know whether it's been resolved or open. This is similar to a ticketing system, but a simple notes body on the alert where someone could put an explanation of their response to the alert would greatly enhance visibility and drive better usability. Thanks!

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…

Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
44 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.

I would like to be able to customzie the content preview window side bar
Once Box AI is enabled it takes the top spot as the default sidebar view in the content preview window. Some of my users would like the Activity Tab to load first, as they depend on seeing comments. Being able to customize the sidebar icons would be great

Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI
Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI
Box AI can currently limit the number of users who use it, but it is not possible to limit the number of times it can be used.
This is very inconvenient. I would like to be able to specify users who can only use Box AI up to 20 times, or specify users who can use Box AI more than 20 times.BoxAIのユーザーごとの利用回数を指定できるようにしたい
Box AIは、現状利用するユーザーを制限することはできますが、利用回数を制限することが出来ません。
これは非常に不便です。20回までしかBox AIを利用出来ないユーザーを指定、または20回以上利用出来るユーザーを指定出来るようにしたいです。43 votes
