Improve Find in Page with infinite scroll
The in-browser search (Ctrl + F) doesn’t let us highlight matching words all at once. As you scroll, words that are loaded later are not highlighted. Once the search reach the end of page, it fails to return to the top of the page. We want the ability to highlight all the matching words that are displayed in the same page at once.

Allow Box to be used while connected to Cisco AnyConnect Secure mobility client
While connected to Cisco AnyConnect Secure mobility client you are unable to access the Box web app to download, view, or upload files. The hurdle of having to close any work you are doing which requires a VPN and then open box to download, view, or upload files meanwhile being unable to work on any VPN work items can slow down productivity.

dropbox style commenting
Dropbox allows you to highlight part of an image or even a time in a video and have a linked comment in the sidebar.
Box is halfway there, but this Dropbox feature is amazing for collaborating on documents as you don't have to explain in detail what part of the image/file you discussing - just highlight and comment is linked.

Not able to access comments bar
This is not an idea. It's a complaint.
Recently, I'm often not able to show the comments bar on the right-hand side. For example, on page X, I'm able to see the comments bar, hide it if I want, and click on the little speech bubble to show it again. Meanwhile, on page Y, there is no speech bubble, so I cannot get the comments bar to appear. This happens sporadically and usually lasts for 30 or so minutes. After going back, refreshing the page to check multiple times, it's usually resolved itself in about 30 minutes. This is incredibly…1 vote -
Drag and Drop between two browser tabs of the Box Webapp
Allow drag and drop of files and folders from the Box Webapp on one browser tab to the Box Webapp in another browser tab. We often need to search through a large list of project related files to find the place we would like to store information that was created in multiple task related folders. We want to be able to open a task related folder on one tab and the project folder on another tab and then just drag and drop between the tabs. Otherwise, we end up re-searching for the project in the copy and move menu numerous…

"Non-private custom URL" language is wrong
The new language around custom URLs is wrong. In link settings the checkbox reads: "Publish content broadly with a custom, non-private URL."
If I understand correctly (and I really think I do) how broadly the content is published is 100% controlled by the "People with the link / People in your company / Invited people only" setting in the prior screen.
Checking the box to create a custom URL does NOT publish the content broadly if a restricted setting is used, and does NOT make the URL "non-private".
This setting should be labeled with plain speech that doesn't imply anything…

Blank space on right side when browser window is narrow
In the browser interface, since around October 2019 for me, if you open a new Box window with a width of about 1200px or less, there is a totally blank area on the right side of the window where the sharing/detail panel would normally be. You have to click the black arrow to show the sharing/detail panel, and then hit it again to hide the sharing/detail panel, only then do the file details use the entire window width for display.

Export all Collaborators on an item from Web UI
As an editor - when I go to a folder, I can see everyone collaborated into that folder.
On the right hand side, I can click on a user or on an icon that shows + x number people.When I do that it opens a page showing a table of users collaborated in.
Name/ Email address/ Permission / Date Added/ Added ToI would love a button to click which would simply export a .csv of that table.
Seems simple as that table is presented on the web page.
15 votesThanks for the suggestion! While I definitely see the usefulness of being able to export a report of collaborators on an item, we don’t plan to launch this feature in the near term as we’re focused on other various collaboration improvements.

Add a Folder Viewer role
Along with the current 7 access levels, adding the “folder viewer”level which the user can see ancestral folders(with no access to those folders).
If a collaborator is invited from 2 different sub-folders with the same name, the folder name on the invitee’s first level shows the same. This can confuse users and might cause uploading/editing contents at the wrong destination.
Once this access level is deployed, the collaborator can clarify the root folder without having to confirm its contents.
Viewing folder paths can be done with canviewpath in the API but we want this to be possible in…

A method of Direct message or chat to a user.
Besides notifications, we would like to have a way to DM or chat a user about changes to content.
Comments are limited in characters and will also appear to others. This is why we would like a way to message a user directly within Box.

Hide folders from Collaborators
Hello, would love to be able to hide folders (I am currently the owner) from collaborators that way as the owner I can monitor what is seen by collaborators as a whole without them seeing things change on their end.

If I include a URL in the optional sharing message, my message is lost.
It would be better for Box to display a warning in-line that URLs are not allowed than to have the message just be lost. Even better would be to allow URLs in messages.
