Allow multi-select of files to download from Content Explorer UI element
Our use case is using Content Explorer to allow users to interact with content in Box. If a user wants to download multiple files via Content Explorer, they either have to download one-by-one, or launch the Content Picker UI element and identify their files again. If Content Explorer supported either multi-select or a checkbox multiple select, users could then download their files with one click.
Specific business process: when working with insurance claims, adjusters regularly need to find and download several images to share with another insurance company to process the claim. Out of 100+ images in the claims folder, adjusters share a small subset.

Thanks for asking! Here's another way to think about it: if the picker were focused on the same folder that the explorer was on, would this solve the problem?

We have a very similar use case. Separating the picking from the exploring is problematic since they kind of go hand-in-hand.
