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 -
As a Box user I want to be able to specify the starting page for a file using the Box Embed Widget so that I do not have to create multiple
Background:
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.
Business Impact:
Reduced issues and time wasted with having to maintain multiple physical documents that have to be created in order to show specific pages on wiki's and web sites.

Notify users of product updates in-app
Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.7 votes -
Custom link URL sensitive content warning is misplaced
Under the checkbox to set a custom URL there is this warning: "Custom URLs should not be used when sharing sensitive content."
Custom URLs are not the problem! Anyone who guesses a custom URL and is thereby able to access it already had permissions needed to access it.
The warning should be "'Anyone with the link' should not be used when sharing sensitive content" and it should be in the prior popup.
Meanwhile, when a user has created a restricted link and then comes here to make a custom URL, the existing warning creates needless Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in…

I'd like to be able to set the e-mail address for uploads to box folders
My team uses Box to allow students in our training courses to upload some of their code for review at a later time. One of the indispensable features has been the ability for these students to e-mail their code to Box, which alleviates many of the security concerns our clients have re: thumb drives, etc.
The one issue at this point is that when allowing e-mails to a Box folder, the e-mail address name is auto-genrated. I have no problem with this in theory, but in practice it results in typos, missed e-mails, and re-work.
I would love for either:

Displaying bookmarks as thumbnails of the jpgs the bookmarks link to
Team members find it helpful to comb through thumbnails of jpg images in a Box folder all at a glance. For some purposes, we would like team members to have access to a folder of bookmarks that each link to a jpg image, instead of having access to a folder with actual jpg images. However, with access to such a folder of bookmarks, each individual bookmark displays as a bookmark iconic image of a chain link. With this, team members cannot just comb through thumbnail jpg images all at a glance as they would if they were looking at a…

Version History (Read- only)
We need a way to copy content, while retaining file version history, yet allow us to set the collaborators to “Read Only” and change the shared links to “Read Only” in a new location folder. We need this for historical purposes and have the original structure in a point in time snap shot. We still want the users to read from it but have no ability to change anything. This way they can cleanup items in the original folder structure without affecting the point in time copy. We need the version history to be copied as well.

ability to add co-owner to an individual file
It would be nice if users could also assign a co-owner to an individual FILE (that is, not a folder).

More options in “Last viewed” or Recents Page

customize permissions that preserve watermarking on downloaded content
High urgency request for the ability to customize permissions that preserve watermarking on downloaded content. Currently only “Viewers” preserve the watermark when downloading content.
We’d like to allow customers to customize the permissions that can preserve the watermark e.g. Editors, Co-Owners, Owners.

Add Metadata Support for Weblinks
Since you currently can't add metadata to weblinks using the web interface, you have to use tags. This makes filtering systems more complex, since they're having to tie into two different APIs.
It's even complicated further, since you can't actually read those tags via the API -- so you have to add tags to fields you can read, like the title field.
