Customize location of new Box Note upon creation
Users shall be able to create a new box note while navigating through folders and have this note save back to the current location within their account.
User shall be able to create a new note from a template, and have it save back to the folder they are navigating in.
Currently, when notes are created via web app, they are saved back to a "My Box Notes" folder. This is not always useful, especially when using templates. Templates are likely to be reused by users and saved in multiple folders, not in a single Box Notes folder.

Tighter integration with Box Notes and Outlook
Box Notes should better integrate with Outlook similar to how OneNote does. From an Outlook event on your calendar, users can easily create a OneNote meeting note file, as well as assign tasks and include emails/contacts on the OneNote file as well.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts in Box Notes
OneNote and Word have different short cuts from Box Notes (and from each other). Users would be faster to adopt if they didn't have to learn new short cuts.

Support Password-Protected Shared Links for Box Notes
There's a known issue/limitation currently (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Box-Notes-Notices-and-Known-Limitations/ta-p/340) where Box Notes do not work correctly when the shared link is password-protected.
REQUEST: Allow Box Notes to have password-protected shared links just like any other file on Box.
23 votesThis is not a priority for the team at this time. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

Ability to copy and paste formatted text from other text editors (i.e. Word, BBEdit, etc.) into Box Notes better
Our users experience a lot of trouble when trying to copy and paste formatted text from other text editors (Word, BBEdit, etc.) no matter the format they try to paste it in. They typically always lose numbering, bulleting, and more.

Image Shared Link Permissions should Match the Box Note's Shared Link Permission
For example, when a Box Note's shared link is set to 'people with the link', all images in the Box Note should also automatically be updated to be 'people with the link' links.
The current issue is that when I set a Box Note's link to 'people with the link' but my company's shared link default is 'people in your company', all the embedded images in the Box Note are still set to 'people in your company', meaning if a non-authenticated user accesses the 'people with the link' Box Note link, they'll see 'insufficient privileges' for all the images in…
49 votesThank you for the feedback. We understand that the current permissions behavior for Box Notes images is not necessarily intuitive, and are actively looking into ways to improve that user experience. We don’t yet have a timeline for delivery, but will update here when its available.

Thanks for the feedback and please do keep it coming. Support for offline access for Notes is not currently on our roadmap, however we are researching possible technical solutions and will revisit in the future.
