Fix access rights popup for 100% resolution
We recently observed an issue with the access rights menu where all options are not displayed when you set your resolution to 100%.
Steps to follow to replicate the issue:
1. Click on “Share this folder” option.
2. Click on “Invite as viewer”
On 100% resolution, the options displayed are till “Previewer” and Previewer is also displayed half cut and there is no scroll bar as well, only when you zoom out all the options are displayed. This has been replicated in IE and Firefox as well.1 vote -
We want to use the Box embed widget to display PDFs for the public on our website. But the widget is too cluttered for public consumption.
The embed widget would be much more useful if it wasn't cluttered up with things like who uploaded the file, the file size, a login window (which is super confusing for a public website) and so on.
There needs to be a plain vanilla embed widget or better yet, the ability to turn on and off the extra clutter.

remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and sending specific instructions on folder use
remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and we need to sending specific instructions on folder use and access. this is best when included with the link to the folder as sent by box. ALSO there is nowhere on the site or in the share section that even states there is now a character limit, instead it's just kicking back the invite and preventing it from being sent.

Fix what you broke!
Recent updates to your service has broken every link and my customers can not access these files until I modify each and every link from the old method to the new method. This is the second time you have done this in the past five years. Seems like a simple fix by your developers to create a batch file to fix all existing links automatically.
This is an example of what needs to be modified for each file I have stored on Box and wish to share with customers...and like I said, I have been down this road with Box…

4k streaming video support (UHD)
Box currently has the ability to stream video content at 480p and 1080p. With 4k video now more common place as a default recording option, it would be beneficial for Box to also display information in that view. Currently working with a customer who uses a public streaming option for VR video, but they would much rather store that information in Box for compliance reasons.

Support for .IMA files in Box DICOM Viewer
I have a few DICOM files with the Siemens IMA extension. These files are fully compatible, just carry a different extension. In all other software they can be imported just like .dcm files. On Box I can even change the extension from .ima to .dcm and use it in the Box DICOM Viewer. Please enable support for this (and possibly other?) file extension.

symlink support
Would be most excellent to add support for symbolic links in uploads 🙏
Motivation
We archive and share private pre-releases of iOS frameworks on Box. These frameworks inherently contain symbolic links. So when they're downloaded, the symbolic link pointing to the true header directory is borked and Xcode is unable to compile the given framework.On the plus side, lack of this support is good incentive for us to move to a better distribution system for these frameworks.
See details on community ticket for current Box symlink behavior details:

Extend auto collaboration per folders only
Hi team,
Submitting this feature request in behalf of user, requesting to add their visibility to extend auto collaboration per specific folders only.
There's a similar post on this subject, but not exactly the same. We can set an expiration date for external collaborators at the enterprise level, which is essential to security, and should be set as the "default" setting at the enterprise level. However, there are certain circumstances where a folder would need to be shared long term with many people, and the Box owner account should have the ability to do one of two things, or both:

I want when I share a folder link that the preview file order is in the same order for everybody
Right now, when I send a folder people get it in totally different orders based on their box settings, how do I change this?

Support Drag & Drop from Box Web App to Outlook
Please enable the ability to drag and drop files FROM Box Web App TO Outlook email client (including the option to insert them as links OR to add them as normal attachments). Currently there is no native Drag and Drop functionality available between the Box Web App and Outlook. Therefore, the process to add file attachments/links to emails via the Web App or Outlook Plug-In is actually currently LESS efficient with BOX than without it. Since BOX Drive is not available for virtual clients (such as Terminal Server or Citrix), their only option is to use the Web App or…

Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors for Owner/Co-Owner and Editor
Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors.
Share for Owner/ Co-Owner and Editor also includes the ability to InviteShare for Viewer Uploader and Viewer only allows you to share a link to people in the folder. So essentially they can only ’share’ with people it has already been share with.
I’d like to see either:
- Add Invite as a descriptor for Owner, Co-Owner and Editor > I like Invite as it is explicit OR
- Change Share to Share Link to Viewer and Viewer Uploader > still a little confusing because you can’t really share w/ anyone that does not already…

Create new permission level to allow sharing without destructive privileges
Create new permissions levels in Box to provide more flexibility:
Permissions/ Roles (ie. Editor, Viewer, etc.):
There is no ability to add someone to a folder and allow them to Invite other persons without giving them destructive permissions > Edit and Delete (Editor Role) >
Viewer Inviter (not sure I like the name, but it goes well w/ the previous request) > Upload, download, preview and Invite
This would allow the user to invite others, but not have destructive permissions. I could actually make two new roles and change Viewer Uploader:
Editor Lite > Upload, download, preview, invite, share and…

Links that open excel spreadsheets to a particular cell and/or worksheet
A few of the users here at Quay Australia have asked me about how to send out links to spreadsheets saved to Box that will open the workbook in question to a particular worksheet and cell, like the capability in One Drive detailed here: https://superuser.com/questions/804139/can-i-modify-excel-online-share-urls-to-open-to-a-specific-worksheet. I've tried this method with a Box link and it just opens the file where the last editor left off. If you could develop this capability, many of my end-users at Quay Australia would be very thankful.

Create a new Folder and name it, without having to click in the box to type.
It sounds small, but when you create a new folder and the window pops up to name it, you have to either hit tab or click into the type box to name the folder. The type cursor should just automatically be ready. It used to be this way until a few updates ago.

Make login page more intuitive for non-managed users
When users or collaborators visit Box from the customer's account, they get confused when they get directed to their SSO page and not the login page.
A suggestion is to have the user input their username before getting redirected to the SSO page or make the “not a part of COMPANY?” a bigger option and more visible for the user.

Please create navigation to split "shared with me" files and folders from my own files and folders, similar to OneDrive.
Please, please, create a separate view on the web to just showcase files and folders that are shared with me; rather than files/folders that are of my ownership. Similar to what other file storage providers offer, like OneDrive.
19 votesThank you for the feedback here -we are considering various ways to split shared/owned content & are considering this for the future roadmap, but don’t currently have a timeline for this.

Ability to set default permission on folder level
The customer would like to implement the feature “Default Collaborator Permissions” per folder.
We’re providing it only per tenant at the moment, so it affects to all folders/files in tenant if changed.
As a result, it probably not convenient such as the user changes collaborator permission from Viewer to Editor every time.
So, the customer wants an ability to set default permission per folder.9 votes -

Request for Supporting HTML tags for File Request.
Currently, there is no way to add HTML tags(i.e line break) into the title and instructions for “Customer’s Option” in the File Request
due to the explicitly prevented for security concerns. Since we cannot use line break for instructions, it is hard to read if the customer enter long sentence for the instructions.9 votes
