Allow users to adjust line spacing between items shown in list view
In the new Box UI, some users are asking for the ability to adjust the spacing between items shown in list view (some users want to widen this while others want to cram things closer together)
1 voteWe do plan to offer an Accessibility Mode where users can set font to be larger and contrast to be higher, but we don’t plan to allow complete customization of spacing

Account Deactivated Message
We would like custom deactivated messages to redirect users to our helpdesk.
Current:
"Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. Please contact your administrator at EMAIL"Proposed:
"Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. If you think this was a mistake, please contact the Company Helpdesk."4 votesWe are not prioritizing custom messages for in app pop-ups at the moment. This is an edge use case, resource-intensive, and has a low ROI for the majority of our users. We will let you know if anything changes.

Upload via Email: Add Option to Not Send the Confirmation Email to the Uploader
Currently, when someone sends an email (with an attachment) to an 'upload via email' email address, Box automatically sends that user an 'upload complete' confirmation email.
There are various scenarios where an admin does not want end users to receive this confirmation email -- whether the user should not know that Box is the tool being used or for other reasons.
REQUEST: Add a 'send confirmation email to uploaders' option that can be unchecked (but is enabled by default) within the Upload via Email setting on the Folder Settings page.

Add Templates to the 'New' Button
We often work with very templatized documents on Box.
REQUEST: Add the ability for admins or users to define or 'save' templates to their 'New' menu in Box.
1 voteUnfortunately, due to competing priorities, this is not currently on our roadmap.

Login flow: Confirmation window unnecessary
IBM believes that there are too many dialogs in the integration login flow. They've specifically identified that the "You were logged in successfully - Close" window after the "Part of IBM? --> Continue" window seems unnecessary.
1 voteThis is a limitation of login needing to happen in a separate window for the embed widget

Thank you for this suggestion. It is a niche request and I am not sure which problem it solves. We will reconsider with additional use case and demand info.

HD Video Preview: Allow User to Download the Lower Quality (720P, 480P, etc.) Renditions of Video Files
With HD Preview, users can choose the quality of the video in the Preview (based on network/bandwidth speed, etc.), but users cannot download those downsampled/lower quality 'renditions'.
REQUEST: Allow users to download the lower quality renditions of video files on Box. For example, I upload a 1080P file, and I can choose to Preview the video in reduced 720P or 480P quality, and I can also choose to download those same renditions if I'd like. Think of it like adding a 'which quality/size output would you like?' option added after clicking 'download' for a video file.
3 votesThank you for the suggestion!
Providing a way to create a copy of an HD video, but at a lower quality so that it is easily downloadable is a low priority for the team.
It’s a niche use case at the moment and there’s a workaround (use a tool to downscale the video and upload that in addition to the HD video into Box).

Change wording of a shared file to a more specific title other than "Shared"
When a Shared Link is created, the file bar in the Web App shows the term "Shared".
It would be beneficial if this showed the specific nature of the shared link, for example instead of "Shared" the "Share" button would change to "In Your Company", "In This Folder", "Everyone".
2 votesThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Customize shared link expiration for collaborators
When folder owners choose to extend collaborator expirations clicking on the Clock icon, it will only extend the preset period.
1 voteThank you for the request! If there is more demand for this feature, we can consider it.

Pre-Render Previews After File Upload
Currently, Box will only go through the 'generating preview' process when the first user goes to Preview a file.
Request: pre-render files once uploaded such that users (even the first to preview a file) don't have to see the 'generating preview...' progress bar anymore.
1 votePre-conversion (converting the file when it’s uploaded) will only benefit a small amount of users. We will revisit this if user behavior changes.

Logging in with Google Account on Android
Once you allow Box to login using your Google Account credentials on your computer, you should be able to login using those same Google Account credentials using 'Company credentials' at the login screen on your Android mobile device. This currently is not the case, but users are able to do this on their iPhones.
2 votesThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

We had a similar “Like” feature for files and it was confusing and not helpful for our users.
We would need to understand why a user would need this and how it would benefit the work they are trying to get done.

Upload notifications should notify user of uploads even if their account is the one uploading to a folder
User has set their folder settings to allow notification emails for a certain folder. She only gets email notifications when other people upload to that folder and not when she does. She would like to be able to receive notification emails when she uploads to the folder.
1 voteThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Error message shown for failed uploads could be more descriptive or specific.
"There was a problem downloading the items. Please try again" is the provided error message for a downloading error.
We would like this message to be more descriptive and potentially include information around which specific files have and haven't been successful so that users able to continue the download as required.
3 votesThanks for the feedback. We understand the use case and potential value in this type of update. While its not on the roadmap at this time, we’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Make Custom Terms of Service Page Responsive
Currently, the Custom Terms of Service acceptance page that users are shown upon first login to Box (when their EID has enabled Custom ToS) is not responsive and renders pretty poorly across Mobile, Sync, and other endpoints where the window is smaller than a full browser window.
1 voteUnfortunately we aren’t able to prioritize this ask at this time. Thanks though for the feedback and keep them coming!

Personal folders created by a service account appear yellow instead of blue
When content creation is restricted and personal folders are created on a users behalf, it would make more sense for the end user to see those folders as yellow instead of blue to indicate that they aren't shared
2 votesThis is not on our roadmap. We will prioritize other requests which have a higher impact.
