File Comments - Proposal to add comment previews in a hoover window
An idea that I have thought about sharing is to make comments visible in a preview window when you hoover over OR when you tap one time on files. This would make it faster for users because currently each files comments are stored within the [!} of each file and only visible one at a time when they are clicked on.
I propose to have an additional view where you can simply hoover over or tap one time on any file a window will appear showing a scrollable list of comments. The comments would allow the user to select and…

Notification bubble in Grid View for Comments
I'd like the notification bubble for comments to be returned to the grid view and not ONLY be available in list view. I have some employees that use this feature and now they have to toggle back to list view to see if there are comments of files that have been provided -vs- being able to see them at a glance in grid view as before.

Warning about creating folders with invalid characters
The web application does not currently warn users about creating folders with invalid characters. For example, if you create a folder name that ends in a period [.] via the web, that folder never comes down to the Box client on a Windows machine. This is a limitation of windows.
However, other cloud providers WARN users before creating the folder in the first place and some even prevent the creation of the folder (Egnyte for instance).
A warning of "The folder you are creating contains an invalid character that may not be visible to users on Windows machines" or something…

Make scroll bar wider
When viewing a CSV file via Box's web portal/app, would love to see the tiny thin scroll bars made wider. (This form won't let me upload a screenshot of exactly what I'm referring to).

"Are you sure" pop-up when dragging & and dropping folders
I'd like a pop-up message confirming if I'm sure to appear when trying to drag and drop folders on the web app. Especially in a GxP environment this is important to reduce risk of human error.

Sharing UI
More clearly subdivide the "Sharing" panel between the upper "Invite People" section and the lower "Share Link" section. The minutely thin gray line between the two doesn't adequately differentiate the two options. New users will tend to complete both options when only one sharing method is needed.

Cannot see # of files in current folder (without subfolders)
In order to get the # of files in a given folder, I have to look at the total files for that folder from the parent directory, and go through each subfolder and subtract from the total. This is a very silly way to do this and seems to be an oversight. Can BOX add this data?
Same thing applies to folder size as well.
The "Details" tab should include: Current folder: # of files, Current folder: size, Current folder / subfolders : # of files, Current folder / subfolders: size.

Preview support for .MXF files
MXF is an industry-standard file format for video and audio. MXF files contain information about the media inside (metadata). This file type is commonly used by marketing teams for video content. Requesting previewing support on Box Web App for .MXF files to allow easy external collaboration on this content.

Ability to filter recent files by file extension
It would be great to be able to filter files in the Recent Files section by extension, access date, etc. Currently you can't sort anything. My use case was easy. I knew I had access one Excel file one week before but couldn't remember the name nor the real date. instead of scrolling in the whole list, I could have selected "Excel / spreadsheet file" to see only these files for a faster search.

About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.
About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.
When pressing the Delete All button in the Recycle Bin, the deletion process fails and an error occurs.
It was an answer to the problem that occurred in the following procedure from Box Support (ticket number: 2694308),
- Among the folders in the parent-child relationship, the child folder is deleted first.
- Delete parent folder after.
- Folders of parent-child relationship are displayed separately in the trash box as different folders.
- In this state, if [Delete All] is pressed, an error occurs.
The Delete All button is not available until you delete the parent-child…

Ability to preview contents of the files contained in the zip file
Box can list all the folders and files contained in the zip file, however it doesn't allow us to preview the contents of each files contained in the zip file.
We need to download the zip file to preview the contents.It would be better to have ability to preview the contents of the each files so that we can complete our work within Box.

Option to enforce Box account login on public shared link
Provide an option to require a user to login to a Box account in order to access a public shared link. This becomes useful when you want to record a specific access audit trail but do not have a specific person in mind and therefore cannot invite them as a collaborator

Updated date and Uploaded date are not the same thing
We would like to be able to retain the file updated date or modified date during file upload. Right now the updated date is the date file was uploaded which is not really the updated date and time from the local machine.
This is very critical as updated date is very important to end users when migrating or uploading files to Box. Imaging thousands of files uploaded to Box all have the same uploaded date under Updated date column.
Thank you!

Disable expiration period change for public shared links only
Currently it is possible to set up automatic expiration period for public shared links in Admin Console, which is an important security feature. However, users can extend the expiration period in Shared Link Settings. It would be more secure to disable expiration period extension for public shared links by users, while allowing them to change expiration periods for other types of shared links (company or collaborators only)

Ability to rearrange the image files displayed on Box Drive and Box Web
For image files (photos), such as jpg and png files, there is a Date taken item in the "Properties".
On Box Drive and Box Web, We wants to organize the photos by descending or ascending order based on the Date taken.
However, since [Box Drive] and [Box Web] do not have the Date taken attribute, files cannot be organized by the date and time they were taken.
Thus, we would like you to add the Date taken attribute.22 votes -
URL to open folder or file by full English path name.
Box allows me to create named folders and files. Box SHOULD allow me to use a URL to get there? The File ID is visually useless. Box should store the English name as an alias to the ID -- and allow this feature. I am astonished this wasn't a base product feature. I'm also astonished you haven't added it as it's clear in the feedback from others it's WANTED. Shame on Box for not providing this feature.
In the meantime, I'll be forced to find another cloud-based file storage solution.

Back Button Updates
Could you update Box to have the Back button return you to the same spot you were at before you hit the Back button? Currently it takes you back to the top of the previous page you were on. When you have a list of 200 folders, its very cumbersome to have to scroll through the all the pages just to find where you left off.

Improve messaging when moving folders between owners
Currently in the web app, a co-owner of a folder is able to move that folder to another location with different ownership. It makes sense that this is allowed and I don't want that to change. However, when the user does this action, they are presented first with an error dialog that suggests the action failed. If they click the "Details" button, they then see a confirmation dialog that ultimately lets them complete the operation.
I think a confirmation dialog is appropriate, but it should be presented to the user immediately and not hidden behind the initial error dialog.

Select all the files in the folder and easily move or copy them
I need a feature that allows me to select all the files in a folder (or similar features) and easily move or copy them.
Because, when we use "Ctrl + A" to select all the files, it takes a lot of time to load all the items, so it's not possible to actually select all the files in the folder with "Ctrl + A".5 votes
