Allow folder owner to report on collaborators in their folders
We would like the ability to have a folder owner search for a specific collaborator to see all the folders (that is owned by the folder owner) that they are collaborating on
26 votesDue to other higher priorities, we are not considering this item at this time.

Add URLs and email addresses to collaborator invites
We would like the ability to have a URL link and email addresses within the body of Collaboration Invites.
Now URLs are no longer allowed, and our use case was to provide clients we’re sharing data with a link to other pages for context, and an email address for contact, like “alias@domain.com” within the email.
As a work around, we're forced to generate our own emails manually using shared links, which is more cumbersome, prone to user error and potentially less secure.

Search Box Community Help articles from the question mark menu in Box Web
Users should be able to search for help with basic Box concepts right from the Web App.
We suggest adding an input field to the Help (question mark) menu in Box Web.
Users can type phrases like "shared link" or "permissions" and get lead to relevant Box community Help articles.4 votes -
Enhance and support the Box Embed Widget for mobile browsers.
We outsource hosting and presenting documents to Box. We allow our users to upload documents in our app and we upload them to Box via API. Later on, when users want to view the file, we ask the Box API for an iframe URL and embed it in our app. So, in the end, no one is logged in to any box applications, because we use the API under the hood.
16 votesThank you for the submission. We are currently collecting use cases and feature requests for the Box Embed widget, and are considering it for update in a future planning cycle. We do not have a timeline for this at present, but ask you to continue to submit feedback here in the meantime.

Customize the upgrade prompt when running out of storage
User would like to customize the upgrade prompt when users run out of storage

Cancel all uploads
A button that allows us to cancel all uploads via the web console. If we mistakenly drag and drop the wrong folder to be uploaded, it would be nice if we could cancel the entire upload instead canceling each individual file. (especially for really big folders with thousands of files)

Would like for Single-Sign-On to be selective for certain domains for managed users under their enterprise
Would like for Single-Sign-On to be selective for certain domains for managed users under their enterprise so they have the option to authenticate through their IDP while other managed users to not. Specific Comments from Kerim Below: Yes, I would definitely appreciate if you can provide this feedback to your product development team. For us, SSO is an all-or-nothing proposition. Meaning, we will not allow the user to choose whether or not they wish to use SSO. Rationale for this is, if a user leaves the company, they can then continue to login to their corporate Box account by bypassing…

We would like a way to attach multiple Box Notes with certain metadata to a single Box Note
We would like a way to attach multiple Box Notes with certain metadata to a single Box Note. This is useful in environments where you have multiple pieces of information relating to one Box Note's content - ex: multiple evidence to one incident

One-Click shared link generation as Enterprise setting
The recent change to Box sharing means that you now have up to 3 clicks to get a shared link on your clipboard - click Share, then toggle the link on, then copy to clipboard. This annoys our users, who liked the old way, where clicking Share would automatically generate the link.
I think this change was motivated by feedback like this, where enterprises that choose to default to People With the Link permission sometimes end up with a lot of accidental open links:
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114154-add-second-step-when-creating-shared-link-for-a-fo(We, on the other hand, default to just "people in this file" permission.)
My proposal:…

Sort underscores consistently
We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

how to unselect is not intuitive
If I have selected a file, to see its details etc. it's not obvious how to unselect it so I can go back to viewing the folder details.
I tried clicking on the whitespace (windows analogy) but it did nothing. After some random clicking about I found, to deselect I must click the "xxxx is selected" text at the top of the page. This doesn't seem intuitive. Perhaps adding a "cancel" cross next to it, similar to the "clear" buttons in search boxes would provide a clue.1 vote -
Set cookie to remember which Box enterprise the user last signed in as
The Box web app should set a cookie in the user's browser to remember the Box account they last signed in as, and take them directly to the SSO (or Box login) page for that enterprise, without the three intermediate steps where the user has to click "Not a part of External Org?", then enter their email address, then click Next, and only then get to their SSO screen.
This is an issue that often comes up when collaborating across enterprises.

Add ability to change sort order of comments
In the latest UI, comments on files are sorted in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order. I'd like the option to change my sort order so that newest comments are listed first.
18 votesAs part of the usability enhancements rolling out in the update noted here here – https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Simplified-Sharing-Public-Beta/idi-p/64620 – we updated the Activity sidebar in Preview to sort comments with the latest comment at the bottom, aligning with the comment composer’s location at the bottom and to make way for future updates planned for the sidebar. As a result, we don’t plan to change sort order.

We want a way to change the screen layout of the Box WebApp
What we want to do:

・ I want the left menu to be always displayed as an icon.
・ I want to make the center display as wide as possible2 votes -
Allow user configurable files and folder list length in list view
As we move file shares into Box, we are getting more and more users who want to see/configure a longer list(or possibly scrollable list) in the files/folder list view. Essentially, they don't want to have to click every 20 files or so to browser their way through a list of 1000 files in a folder -- they just want to see what's there.

Request to improve the collaborator list on webapp
[Issue]
First, create folder A in the first directory and invite user “X” to that folder.
Next, create a folder B in the first directory and invite the same user “X”.
Then put folder B into folder A.・Clicking on folder B will display two “X” accounts in the [Sharing] tab. If you click once on a web page other than folder B, the “X” display on the [Sharing] tab changes to only one.
・Right-click on folder B>[More Actions]>[Manage Collaborators] screen, two “X” accounts are displayed.Above behavior is not user friendly. We would like box to improve this.

Show same timestamp web vs. Box drive
To migrate from file share to use box, we initially uploaded the content from our file server via FTP. We managed to se the original timestamp of last file modification. So we get shown this timestamp at client side using box drive. But the web app shows the timestamp of uploading the file. Please make it show the same timestamp as BOX drive!

Preview in my locale, not US (date formatting)
When using the Excel preview and a date format that should respect my locale, Box uses US as default. US date format is the world's littlest used format, used only by the USA.
It should respect my chosen region from my preferences. But doesn't.3 votes -
