Custom document repositories with metadata search
User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical way to demonstrate how useful metadata are for end-users.
Adding metadata search fields to Box Hubs would be a great way to get the desired results

I'd like to have the ability to create/save/reuse a custom view. In order to adhere to best practices of content management, I'd like to reduce the number of folders and increase the meta data on each file. This will make things easier to find, and will also give me the ability to group, filter and sort to create appropriate views for multiple audiences. Basic ootb SharePoint view functionality is highly effective and would enable usability in Box. This would drive more users to the system and increase buy-in from our end users.
