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.

Remove multiple collaborators from folders
Box currently does not have a way to remove multiple collaborators at bulk.
Currently, admin needs to manually remove multiple users by opening the appropriate folder and removing users one at a time.Suggestion can also apply to removing collaborators from multiple folders.
103 votesDue to other higher priority items, this has been deprioritized.

Option to have approval process for sharing a folder or file.
In some folders, you want to allow, shared links, but would like to have some management oversight of this process. It would be beneficial at a parent folder level (and therefore cascading to all children folder) to have the option to "request to share file" in addition to the other functions related to restricting link creation or collaborator invitation.
Instead of relying on the "appropriate party" to be configured to receive notifications that an item has been shared, this would allow them to be ahead of the curve before a share is actually created.1 vote -
Ability to automatically convert Unicode @ (atmark) to single byte
When non-English users try to use @mention in comment or annotation, they often type @ (atmark or at sign) character with their native language (mostly double bytes, Unicode).
Just like other cloud services (like Slack), please add ability to automatically recognize and convert double bytes atmark to single byte atmark for non-English user conveniences and to help drive user adoption of these features.
Reference for at sign character code (Wikipedia):

Notify me when a file is unlocked by another collaborator
When a file is locked for editing by another user, on a case-by-case basis, I would like to be notified via email when that file is unlocked.
Either:
- a file-setting that always notifies me after a user unlocks a specific file or
- a one-off subscription to a file when it is locked that I can set that notifies me via email when that file is unlocked. After this one-off notice occurs, the subscription would be deleted.

Add button in Web App to go to last page
I have 13 pages of files in a box folder. I'm not able to skip to the end page, I have to go through 1 by 1. It would be great if there was a 'first page' and 'last page' button just like next and previous!

Private comments
Ability to create a private comment. Right now, all comments are public (all collaborators can see). We would like to have a feature to make the comment private so that only user who posted it can see.

Add support for File name sensitivity
Box currently doesn’t support the notion of file sensitive file and directory names like Linux does, so backups to Box, for example with rclone, lose similarly named files that only vary in case.
For example, you can only have File1.txt and file1.txt, but no both in Box.
In comparison, there’s no such limitation in Google Drive and Linux file systems, for example.
Please add support for file name sensitivity.

Move/Copy Functionality Enhancement
The Move / Copy function on Box currently does not let you replace an existing document with the same name in the same folder. It either adds a (#) to the end of the document name (via Copy) OR throws and error (via Move). I would like to be given the option to replace, or update via versioning, the existing document stored in the folder where I am uploading this document to.
