PLEASE bring back the pre-selected Share link
PLEASE re-add the pre-selected text highlighting to the Share popup box weblink.
Previously in Box, when you tapped the "share" button it brought up a highlighted, pre-selected web link that could simply be copied (Ctl-C) and pasted. You did not need to select this link, it was already highlighted for you, all you had to do was click Ctl-C (go to email), then Ctl-P to paste the link.
Since the update, you can set so that the link appears, but this link is no longer pre- selected – you have to physically go to that link and select it with…

Query-less search
Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.

Permission expansion - excluding folder management
I’d love a “File manager” permission that doesn’t include Folder management capabilities.
We have a large folder structure that I need to allow our users to have Editor permissions to for them to properly do their job. My issue is that it is CRITICAL that the folder structure doesn't change.1 vote -
Please add Linux to the support for Box.
【Background】
As we use many Linux servers, the total size of the log files is also large.
Please add Linux as supported, as we want to save the log files stored on the Linux server to the Box.【Request】
Box does not support Linux.
In the past it was possible to access the Box via WebDAV, but this is no longer supported.
Please add Linux to the support for Box.
It would be preferable if it could be mounted like WebDav.
If the folder on the Box can be mounted on Linux, the application can simply…14 votes -
Ability to restore folder structures to point-in-time
Similar to version history, we would like the ability to select a folder, folder structure, or subset of folders/files and restore all content therein to a specific point in time. OneDrive recently released a histogram with a timeline slider feature allowing admins to restore select content to a specific period in time. For users moving from on-prem or used to backups, this provides confidence in giving the right access levels to users to get work done with the ability to revert content/structures if needed in case of accidental moved/edited or corrupted content.

Add "additional_details" to events endpoint for MOVE, COPY, RENAME events
Presently, security & events reports run from the admin console include "change details" for these events - essentially, what the prior state was before the event occurred. The events endpoint does not include these details.
Request to add this to the additional_details of an event as it's reported through the admin events stream for the MOVE, COPY, and RENAME events.
If RENAME, show previous name of the folder
If MOVE/COPY, show previous parent of the folder10 votes -

Setting Folder Autodelete via API
The automatic deletion date of a folder can be set from the web screen, but it seems that it cannot be set from the API.
Could you please provide the ability to set this date from the API?
We have a process that automatically creates thousands of folders using the API, but since it is not possible to set an automatic deletion date, a large number of past folders will continue to remain.

Dataroom Indexing
Similar to other virtual dataroom software solutions, Box.com should be able to autoindex files. This is a very basic capability that other solutions like Egnyte, Firmex and Sharefile are able to do. The reason this is important is so that you can direct an external party to look for a file at a specific index/location such as 1.1.5.6.4. See below for FAQ with document indexing for Egnyte and Sharefile.

Unable to Retrieve Collaborator Email Address for a non-Registered Collaborator
From the Developer:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a collaboration to a folder with email, that not already registered in Box.com.
2) Create a request via Java SDK to get collaborations from this folder. Response like this will be returned:
{"totalcount":1,"entries":[
{"type":"collaboration",
"id":"987654321",
"createdby":{"type":"user","id":"23421234","name":"xxx","login":"xxx@xxx.xxx"},
"createdat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"modifiedat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"expiresat":null,
"status":"pending",
"accessibleby":null,
"role":"editor",
"acknowledgedat":null,
"item":{"type":"folder","id":"123456","sequenceid":"0","etag":"0","name":"FolderToCollaborate"}}
]}
'AccessibleBy' is null. So we don't receive an information about collaboration, for example email. But if user with this email registered in box, we receive information about it, like this:
...
"status":"accepted",
"accessible_by":{"type":"user","id":"1233445678","name":"Yyy .","login":"yyy@yyy.yyy…8 votesThe accessible_by field now returns email addresses of unregistered collaborators.

Enable auto complete for internal users when collaborating
When going to share a file or folder with an internal user, unless you have collaborated in the past, auto complete does not come up. In fact when you put in the internal email address, it shows a globe as if the user is external. A way to use a directory sync would be helpful, but since not all users have Box in our domain, showing just those with accounts suffices and would actually be the most helpful.

Compress to zip format on Box web
To compress a file or folder on Box, you must download it first.
I wish there was a way to compress files directly from Box Web without having to download them.(in Japanese)

"Move User's Folder" - Add Unique Value (Email) to Name of Newly-Created Folder
When using the 'Move User's Folder' API call, Box will automatically move all the specified user's owned content into a newly-created folder in the target location named "[DisplayName]'s Files and Folders". The issue is that in large organizations, displaynames are not unique at all, which makes these folders hard to identify.
REQUEST: Add email address (which is a unique identifier in most organizations) to the name of the automatically-created folder to make the name something like: "[DisplayName] ([emailaddress])'s Files and Folders"

Add additional_info data to all events to include service_id
Currently, many events do not include the additionalinfo fields, in particular the serviceid field. This makes it difficult for organizations with many applications to track which of these applications are making the calls.
Here are the events missing this information:
- RENAME
- UPLOAD
- ITEM_CREATE
- ITEM_UPLOAD
- ITEM_MOVE
- ITEM_TRASH
- ITEM_RENAME
- COLLABORATION_ACCEPT
- COLLABORATION_EXPIRATION
- COLLABORATION_INVITE
- COLLABORATION_REMOVE

Progress Bar when uploading and restoring
Is there any progress bar or any visible information where we can know the progress of tasks being run? For example, I wanted to recover a 200gb folder. It took a long time to find the data that needed to be restored. This is a similar thing when uploading files onto Box onto the web app. There is a progress bar but when a user goes to a new page it disappears and it is still running in the background
