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.

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.

Collaboration List
Users show up twice in Collaboration list if they invite with the following steps. Steps 1.Folder A -> Folder B 2.User A is collaborated on Folder B. 3.User B then adds User A as a collaborator on Folder A. 4.User A shows up twice in collaboration list. We would like Box to show up once in the scenario because it isn't easy to find properly permission when inviting many collaborator.

Make it more obvious that there are multiple pages of documents
Lists of files and folders may continue onto more than one page. Make the "2 of 2" at the bottom of the list very large and explicitly add a "See more" label next to the pagination. It is far too easy to not notice that there is more than one page of files, which leads to quality isssues.

disable certain user from viewing a folder without affecting parent folder access permission to an user in BOX
companies sometime have sensitive folder that only certain people should have access but need to be under a project folder which many other users for organizational reasons.
sadly box on the web doesn't have the basic function of disabling Inherited Permissions from the parent folder so we can decide who can see the content from a specific folder

@Mention is not valid when you copy and paste from other comment
I have a monthly report to share with several people and mention them to inform upload. However, every time I copy and paste comment of last time, mention is not valid so that I need to re-type each person's name. I want Mention to be valid even after copy and paste like Slack

Upload all files possible, don't stop the upload queue when an error is encountered
There was a recent Box change where the upload queue now stops whenever an error, any error, is encountered where, previously, the upload queue would just continue to upload all files possible and the upload queue would remain open so you could scroll through and check which files failed to upload. Now you can't run an upload over night because as soon as one file upload fails, the whole queue stops, which is ridiculous.

Show all items on All Files page
Request for showing all files at one page.
Currently, we can set files/folder for one page from account setting. However, it limits 100 so that over 100 files/folders cannot be shown for only one page. We would like you to add the function to allow the customer to show over 100 files/folders at one page.

Shared links without expiration
It takes 6 clicks (unless I'm missing a faster way) to turn off the expiration for a shared link. Can it be on the first pop-up window when you enable the link!?

Custom collaboration expiration periods for individual folder collaborators
Currently, the only options for collaboration expiration on a folder is set at an enterprise level.
The request is multipart, for the options to
1) Set a custom collaboration expiration period at the folder level only (regardless of what the enterprise setting is)
2) Set different expiration periods (e.g. 30 days vs 60 days) for different collaborators or groups within the folder63 votes -
Mouseover details for Sharing panel
At least for the +X Groups, allow a mouse over to reveal the groups that make up the +X Groups list.
A bonus feature would be for the same function to show who are members of the groups listed in the Sharing Details pane

account switching
Users with multiple Box accounts (e.g., personal, work, etc.) should be able to sign onto all their accounts and be able to quickly switch between the accounts. This could be similar to account switching for Google services, Dropbox, etc. Currently it is very cumbersome to do this. Box has already implemented similar functionality as part of the Box Android app.
