    Thank you for your feedback! You should be able to upload from the Office apps. Otherwise, this is an iOS limitation.

  7. Ability to control what file information is visible when viewing file list

    Some users have mentioned that it is more important to them to see the entire file name rather than have it truncated and see the timestamp and other details. The ability to choose what is visible on this page might be one way to resolve this.

    This is an intentional design decision. We will re-evaluate with additional user feedback.

  10. Convert Email Attachment to Box Link when forwarding email

    When a file (not in Box) is received by email, the user would like to forward it along as a Box link, rather than a file itself.

    It is cumbersome to download the attachment, then upload it to Box, generate a link, and forward the email with the newly generated link.

    Ideally, I would like a button in the email app (Outlook or Gmail) that allows me to forward email and convert attachment(s) to shared links.

    We are not currently planning to implement this feature within search. Containing folder information will continue to be available through file previews and in the browse view.

  15. User management settings in mobile app

    We would like user management access within the mobile iOS app. We would like to be able to reset a password on the fly as well as deactivate someone quickly if we are not near our computer.

    Thank you for the suggest! This is not an area in which we will invest.

    App usage would be sporadic and would not drive engagement as much as dedicating our resources towards our existing apps.

  16. Force the Box iOS / Box Android / Box EMM applications to re-authenticate more often than every 60 days.

    Ideally, we would like for the timeframe to be user definable.

    This is an important security requirement for us as we move into supporting non-GFE devices, so please do let us know if you need additional information.

    The mobile app is built on top of our APIs and therefore adheres to the standard token durations. Applications that are managed through an EMM provider already provide an advanced level of security that reduces overall risk.

    As a workaround, through your EMM provider, you could revoke the Box application and force users to reinstall on whatever basis you deem appropriate.

    Some providers may also allow you to revoke the managed app config which will force Box for EMM to log the user out.

    At some point, however, you would have to push the managed app config back down to the device.

  19. Expose EXIF Metadata in the Box Webapp when Media (Photo, etc.) is Uploaded via Box Mobile App

    Currently we do not expose media EXIF metadata (location info, camera type, etc.) for files uploaded to Box using the standard Box mobile apps (we do for media uploaded through Capture though).

    This request is to provide a similar experience like we've already implemented with Capture.

  20. Integrate iOS 9 PDF Markup feature with Box iOS app and/or Capture app

    There is an iOS 9 feature, Markup, which is currently not available from within Box app. This iOS 9 feature would allow any user to open a PDF from the Box app and provide the ability to annotate, markup, and sign.

    We will consider supporting Box annotations as those will remain with the document across all Box services.
