Extend display time for the undo option
After moving a file/folder, a prompt appears to allow you to select "Undo", but we find that the prompt appears for a short time and often we find it impossible to undo the action.
We would like to see a longer display time for the undo option.

For files, folders and users name, we need to use U+10000 - U+10FFFF in Unicode characters.
Today, we can only use BMP in Unicode characters on Box.
However, Windows OS supports many Unicode characters(eg, emoji), besides BMP, so this can be a problem in data migration from a file servers to Box.
Also, in CJK, Unicode characters other than BMP are used in personal name, so we consider this to be a big issue.
We hope to have many Unicode characters available everywhere on Box.

Warn users of upcoming web session expiration.
It can be confusing to users that Box does not bring you back to your login page on session expiration, only after you try to complete an action. Suggest adding a notification to warn users they will be logged out in XX minutes due to inactivity. Alternatively, notify users they are logged out before they try to complete an action.

Save Function
In terms of product improvement, it is evident that the “Save As” functionality is not an efficient way of saving existing files within Box. If a “Save” or “Sync” functionality is available, this would make the end user experience better. Your other competitors like Microsoft’s SharePoint does have the functionality available to just sync without needing to go through the whole “Save As” approach.

Email upload failures, granular details requested
Email upload failures to provide more details about the email address and folder being uploaded to. In some instances, automations get set up and users that set them up leave, which means if they start failing, the remaining users do not know what folder it is going to if they cannot locate the automation. In others, a box upload email accidentally gets added to CC. Adding the requested information would help customers hunt down the folders in question to ensure nothing improper was uploaded or to help locate the automation.

favorites as a list on the side bar
I am really frustrated that my list of favorites is not along the side bar anymore. The whole point was to limit the number of clicks, and now I have to click twice to see the list again, and it's not along the side but in the center,. Please put the favorites back along the side!

Add progress bar on permissions change operation status
When I make changes to permissions for a large, shared folder, it would be intuitive if a progress bar was displayed as to how long the permissions change will take in the background, rather than having to "wait in the blind" and keep guessing as to when the change will fully propagate to the entire folder structure. Shocked that this doesn't already exist and why permissions changes aren't immediate, for that matter.

Custom app to pull Access Stats on files/folders without admin privileges
Goal: Obtain access statistics on files/folders via custom app with no admin privileges
We have an enterprise app that manages one of our Box folders - i.e. the app is owner of the folder while most collaborators are just editors and some co-owners. Moreover, we have the 'hidden collaborators' setting enabled, which means that only owner and co-owners can view 'Access stats' in the browser. For other collaborators (being Editors) to view access stats, we would then pull the stats via the Box API - e.g. using the events endpoint. With our enterprise Box instance, however, we do not have…

GET RID OF PAGINATION!
We constantly have people unable to find files on Box because they're located on the second (or later) pages in the folder.
It's completely pointless and an unusual user experience for online file storage.

Expire download link once it's used.
Currently, download link can be used over and over for 15 minutes.
We would really like to expire a download link once it download a content.
Because he/she can download it from the download link for 15 minutes even though the user who don't have download permission when anyone can get the download link,6 votes -
Add ability to manage tags
Admins need a way to mass edit tags. Sometimes people misspell tags when they're adding them, or sometimes an entire tag itself needs to change completely, and everything that has that tag should be updated. (Check out how Zenhub handles tags for inspiration!)

Flexibility to adjust column settings on the left panel
Flexibility to adjust column settings on the left panel - where favorites are listed. It is very small and you can not see the entire field name.

Option for condensed/compact UI
Please consider an option for a condensed Web UI (similar concept to Gmail's cozy/compact): smaller icons, less white space, options to eliminate interface elements like the sidebar. It would be nice to be able to fit more information (filenames, file lists, etc.) on the screen.

Ability to prevent users from adding/deleting files and folders of a specific folder without affecting that folder's sub-folders
Example: I have a top level folder called 'Top'. Inside that folder I have two other folders 'A' and 'B'. I would like to prevent users from adding and deleting content in the 'Top' folder but still allow them to add and delete content in folders 'A' and 'B'.

Improve ability to see created tags and select tags
Need to be able to see and select tags that we have created. Right now we just have to guess what tags we have. And hope that we're spelling them correctly. Right now this lack of functionality is going to force us to keep looking for a tool to manage assets for a team.
