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.

Subdomain of shared folder should match folder owner
There is a difference in the URL that is actually displayed to collaborators.
The custom sub domain of the tenant to which user A belongs is “aaa.app.box.com“.
The custom subdomain of the tenant to which user B belongs is “bbb.app.box.com“.User B was invited as a collaborator to a folder owned by user A.
The URL of the file placed in that folder is
User A will see “aaa.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.
User B will see “bbb.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.Can the URL be changed so that the sub domain matches the owner of the folder? When collaborators go to a folder owned by another enterprise,…

The view of files and folders in the Web UI should load dynamically, not be paginated.
Currently, the default experience in the web UI is to paginate the view of files and folders, showing just 20 at a time. That's a pretty antiquated way of displaying a long list--most modern websites, including Box's competitors, just dynamically load more items as you scroll to the bottom of the page. I just finished helping one of our users who was very confused by this: he didn't notice the pagination buttons, and didn't understand where his file had disappeared to.

Give the user to move and change the collaborated folder as they want.

Download all versions of a single file at once
If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.
For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

NetSuite v2 - Ability to hide the integration folder from user in Box website like v1
In NetSuite Box bundle v1 there was an option to hide the NetSuite folder from users when they log into Box website. It would be good to have this same ability in v2 so files can only be accessed through NetSuite and not inside Box website just like v1.

Allow custom logo in Box notifications
If we upload our logo in our custom branding (enterprise settings > custom set up) it will not show in email notifications sent from Box. Instead, it will show the standard Box logo and colors. White labelling notifications is important to mimic our portal and avoids unnecessary Platform development.

clearer highlighting needed when selecting a file on webapp
This is a request on how to display/express "Selected file(s)".
In the current specification, selected files glow blue(List View) or is surrounded by a blue border(Grid View).
There were opinions from some users that these expression is hard to see and difficult to distinguish.Opportunities to utilize Box are increasing and they are being used in various places, by various people.
For use in extremely bright/dark places, and for people with sight problems, please improve the way of expression.

Share Link Always Enabled
The Share link should always be enabled or give us the option to have it always on. We do not use the collaborate function of Box but always use the "share link" function. To now add a step for us to use that function is not thinking of your current users uses.
