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.

Allow the Copy to also include file history
There are times when making a copy of a file should allow version history to be captured as well. Point in Time copies can help with legal matters, and having the version history can help us understand when changes were made, what changes were made and by whom. This shouldn't be on a move ONLY feature but also a copy feature/option.

Ability to be able to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users
Ability to be able to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users themselves.
Users can know the result of upload with pop-up on WebApp, but they have no way to confirm it if they leave for a while. Because the pop-up disappears in a few seconds.
Therefore, we would like an ability to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users themselves.2 votes -
"Start Collaborating" modal is too obtrusive for viewers
When I share Box Notes with clients, they see the "Start Collaborating" modal appear, then come back to me asking why should they need to register just to view documents. It's not obvious this modal can be closed out to continue viewing the doc. Instead of a modal, perhaps this can be a small topbar box. Otherwise, this issue comes up enough to make me consider going back to Google Docs for client communications.

Message on page timing out / becoming inactive
After a certain period of time with no activity, the Box web tabs in the browser become inactive / time out (but not the overall Box session). So users try to upload content or complete other actions but are not successful and don't find the reason why.
It would be good to add a message in the tab when this happens prompting users to refresh the page in order to keep working on that tab.

New functions in Folder settings
-To add some new functions in the folder settings, so that collaborators will be deleted automatically when moving folders to another folder.
-To add some new functions to the folder settings so that users will be able to change roles like the Privacy settings. We want to control collaboration using roles on the the upper folders. However, in this case, folders which are not intended, can be created in subdivided folders. If any files were moved to subdivided folders accidentally, the file can be visible from users who are not intended to.1 vote -

Edge case failure! :
1) Upload testXMovie.mp4
2) Upload testYMovie.mp4
3) UPDATE testYMovie.mp4 by uploading testXMovie.mp4 againUpload fails without solution or description.
Better: "The file you are uploading TestXmovie.mp4 already exists in this folder. Would you like to replace both files with this one? (or cancel)"

Trial
You could not block the interface with your checklist. I can't use the interface because the checklist is in the way.
Make it dismissable. Maybe pop it up if you log in, but don't have it covering part of the interface and allow it to be dismissed.1 vote -

Whenever I have a multi-page document that I wish to embed on a Wiki or Web page I have to create multiple, physical copies of that file (and keep them in sync) when I want a specific page to be shown on the widget.
