We will need additional use case data to understand the problem addressed by this feature.

Version-Specific Shared Link Option
Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

Permanent Folder Tree View in Webapp (Similar to Windows Explorer/Finder)
Currently we have a 'jump to folder' option that provides a modal for navigating by using a folder tree view. Many customers would like this same tree view of their content as a permanent sidebar in the webapp for faster/easier 1) navigation and 2) context for where they're at in any given folder tree.

Folder Settings: Add 'automatically remove invited collaborators' at the folder level (user defined)
Currently, "Automatically remove invited collaborators" can be set up only in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings, but some customers are requesting to set up in Folder Settings (meaning at the folder level) because it enables more granular security settings.
7 votesThe usability complexity of this feature would not be worth the small benefit it would provide to a small minority of users.I would suggest instead instead using the existing workaround of Shared Link Expiration.

Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To
As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).
29 votesFolder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.

External User Box Access Workflow
We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"
Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.
There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.

Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.
We would like to be able to custom color code their folders.
20 votesWe will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

Default new collaborators to Viewer (or any level) rather than Editor.
If they want the Collaborator to be an Editor, the inviter needs to physically make that change from a dropdown when inviting.
3 votesThank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned.

This is an edge case request. We will reconsider if there is additional demand.

Sort search results according to Name
User wants the ability to sort Search results by Name, and not just filter.

@mention of all collaborators of the folder
As a user, I want to @mention all collaborators of the folder so that each user is notified of a comment I am making on a file or folder.

Ability to send multiple shared links and change the default access setting.
My company has default settings for shared links set to "people in your company". When users want to send multiple shared links to clients they aren't able to do this in bulk because the default is "people in your company" and they aren't able to change this.
Of course they can get the individual shared links and change the setting to share it, but it would be easier if they could select everything they need and send that one email.

Require collaborators invited into the folder to enter a password in order to access the content
Extra verification step in collaboration with external users.

Remove external collaborator after certain period of inactivity
We invite many external collaborators onto projects and it is tedious to remove them after projects end. Setting a global "remove external collaborator" time period does not always work because some projects last much longer than others.
Request:Ability to set a "remove collaborator if inactive within Domain for x time"
13 votesThank you for the use case! Because there are a few ways to remove collaborators, it is unlikely we will prioritize this in our roadmap.

Separate Move / Copy buttons
Please consider improving this within Amsterdam
There are a number of use cases that can be supported by separating the Move / Copy button into unique buttons:
1) Folder or file templates: Users with Viewer access (can download) should be able to COPY a file or folder elsewhere. Currently this is not supported -- the user must download, which loses BoxNotes and Bookmarks.
2) Separating "records" from reference material -- If Retention is set on a file, the user may want to copy a version elsewhere that is not subject to Retention
18 votesInteresting suggestion, but we won’t be focusing on this ask for the time being due to competing priorities.

Grid View - Ability to Show/Hide Item Names
By default, Grid View in the New UI shows information below the item preview (such as name, etc.).
REQUEST: Introduce a 'show/hide' option that would allow the user to switch between only showing the thumbnails vs. showing the thumbnails with the additional information (like name, etc.) to provide an enhanced grid view experience when in a folder with many image/video files.
3 votesThis is not currently planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

Downloading Empty Folders
We noticed and it's confirmed with Box Support that the Box service treats "empty folders" inconsistently depending on which Box mechanism is used.
Empty folders are not created if we download folders via the Web interface. Empty folders are created via Box Sync. We are finding that this inconsistent behavior is creating confusion for our users and a mistrust in the Box service. Can you rectify the inconsistent behaviour?
15 votesThank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

This is a non-trivial change to our architecture and user-experience. We will consider this as we review our organizational structure for content within Box.

Clarify in collaborators list which users are active and inactive
Our admin accidentally transferred data from an account to a deactivated account causing collaborators to temporarily lose access.
She pointed out that she could not tell from the list of collaborators which users were deactivated that have something like that would have prevented her from making that mistake.
7 votesThank you for the request! If we hear this from additional users, we will consider this again.
