Ability to check when user's password will be expired on their end
Currently users have no way to know when user's password will be expired on their end.
And then, Box doesn't send any notification to users in advance, so it likely lead to expire user's password.3 votes -
Moving and Copying Files
When you are moving or copying a file, I wonder if its possible to have some of your "recent" destination folders with hot links. As it stands, if you have complexity in your file system, it defaults to the source folder. This would save a fair bit of time. Just like the 5 most recent folders you copied files to.

Upon folder upload via web or Drive, if any files fail due to file/path name limit, provide a list of those files
When a file path exceeds 255 characters, the file would in some circumstances (e.g on Windows), fail from upload. When an entire folder is moved, there is no way of knowing if or how many files may have failed to upload. This is due to OS limitation, but a Box notification or a report could at least allow a manual transfer or shortening the names of the impacted files.

Ability to export list of sub-folders when users select a parent folder.
Customer collaborate with external venders to share files and folders. In order to manage which folders and files received from external venders, the customer has to keep track records by using other system. Currently, users enter which date they received from which venders by manually. It is very helpful to export list of sub-folders in csv format to import this file to another system.

Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream
Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

Identify ALL 'Tags' used across enterprise instance
Currently, you can search by Tags but only if you know the specific Tag label/name.
Problem is, you may not necessarily know all the Tags users within your organization are using.
Additionally, there is no standard report to which can export a list of all Folders and Files that have Tags.•Foremost, it would be nice to have a way of identifying all tags used across your organization.
•If possible, if can offer a standard report similar to Files and Folders report that indicates Tags associated to them other than using the Search or API.6 votes -
Reduce number of clicks to edit/use Box Edit
Request to reduce number of clicks to edit contents
Currently, when a user wants to edit a file, they needs to preview the file and click "Open" to use Box Edit. We would like to have an option to skip preview and directly edit2 votes -
Upload verification prompt for sensitive files
Just curious about adding a upload prompt, When you start the upload process you either copy and paste or browse to the file, once you click the file to upload the system automatically uploads it without prompting you to see if that is the file you actually want to upload. With sensitive content its sometimes better to verify the file to upload.

Auto-refresh webapp after upload
Auto-refresh page upon upload - Currently, the ability to view/edit metadata from the folder level only works after the page has been refreshed following an upload. It would be good to have the page automatically refresh after upload.

Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"
To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.
28 votesThank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

Web Interface Search Bug
The web interface won't let you select filters or check boxes from the pop-up menu when searching using Safari. Seems like a bug, as it used to work.

Ability to Remove Collaborator Expiration via web app or API
Collaborator expiration was turned on for a short period of time now we only have the option of extending the date the collaborator will be removed. The user would like this removed completely even though I can set the to expire in the distant future. The only other resolution is to remove and re-add those collaborators. So it would be great to have a feature where the admin/owner/co-owner could not only extend but remove the expiration on the folder.

Add Linux to Web app QA process
The web app UX is horrible on Linux. It's not just one bug, but dozens of bugs that affect Linux and ChromeOS users.
Examples:
- Downloading a Docx will prompt you to open with Word instead
- Clicking Open will prompt you to install Box Tools
- Clicking install Box Tools will download an EXE fileAll of these are completely irrelevant and an annoying hurdle for Linux users. Box Tools for linux doesn't exist. Linux Users can't run EXE files. Open With Word doesn't make ANY sense, as Word doesn't exist for Linux.
Please fix.
53 votesThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we do not have plans to add support for Linux to the web app at this time. We’ll continue to monitor this thread to gauge interest, and will post updates should our plans change in the future.

Select from favourites when copying or moving
I move and copy files to and from favourite folders a lot. Each time I do, I have to navigate through the hierarchy to find the right folder. It would be good if you could select from your favourites when moving or copying (as well as allowing full navigation). This would be especially useful to those of us who work on our own instance of Box, but also with collaborators.
