Add "Copy file" and "Copy shared link" to the horizontal bar in Box preview
When I get shared links for which I want to reuse to create my own decks I have to download the file , make changes and upload it back. Would be convenient for the user to just "copy" the file because at that point they had download rights anyways
When I get shared links and I want to share the file further its not clear to me that I could copy the same url and send it ahead. Some users end up downloading the file in order to share further which leads to data fragmentation

File should no longer be highlighted when not selected
You can select the item in Box Webapp by clicking it and the item turns light blue/grayish to indicate that it’s selected. You can uncheck it by clicking the blank area but the color for that item remains (though it gets a bit lighter). This is confusing and color should disappear if item is not selected.

Show All Files instead of current folder during Move/Copy
Our end users have been complaining about the recent change to the move/copy functionality. Previously, when you would click move/copy, it would take you to the all files display. Now it takes you to the folder you are already in, which they say is counterintuitive. These users are moving hundreds of files a day and are unhappy about extra step/click needed now.

Shared With Me - Folder Management for Collaboration Folders
We would like to have a "Shared with Me" folder for any folders we have been collaborated into.
We continually get feature requests for Box to allow a way to organize content shared with me. For example, I'd like to create a "Shared with me" folder that all the content shared with me could be organized into.
I envision this could happen in one of a few ways and there would need to be some determination how much control the end user has....Option 1:
- Allow end users to check a setting that would create a folder called "Shared…561 votesTeam is gathering feedback

Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Preview save and display last viewed page when returning
Have webapp revert to last page you were on (e.g. page 4 out of 10) after exiting out of preview. Currently if you exit a preview it takes you back to page 1 which is cumbersome and undesired.

Exact search queries using quotes should not include wildcards
Currently as per Box's community article, all searches implicitly include trailing wildcards:
"Trailing wildcards are implicitly included in search results because of the way text is indexed. Searching for Bo results in items with the words Box or Boat or Boxer. It is the equivalent of searching for Bo* or Bo% in traditional search engines. Traditional wildcard notation is not supported by Box, such as %ox% "
However, this leads to search results that are both 1) too wide and 2) not intuitive based on search norms
i.e., one would think that searching (with quotes) for " Box " would…

Allow users to create a new folder name without changing it for others
This would allow users to create a custom view of their own content. Only way to do something similar is through bookmarks, which are cumbersome and less useful

Make it easier for Viewer-Uploader role to copy files
File copy is not easy to access to viewer-uploader users (only doable via shortcut). This doesn’t help to implement a scenario where users need to create documents from templates they are not granted to modify.

Move "Log in" green banner when viewing shared link while not signed into Box
If you view a shared link while you're not signed into Box, you'll see a green banner at the top: "Log in to Box to securely share, edit, and collaborate on files in real-time with other people." The banner blocks the "Download" button on the right. While there is an X to close the banner, there are two issues:
1) Less tech-savvy people don't know to close the banner and can't figure out how to download
2) Others may think you need a Box account in order to access the contentIt would be helpful to either move the banner…

.ics (Outlook invite) Preview
Can we please previous .ics (Outlook calendar invite) files in some way through Box? We have had so many use cases where we keep a .ics file on Box and share out a link to it so employees can download it any add it to their calendar.
Unfortunately, currently, when they open that shared link it says "error" and our employees think it doesn't work and it's not there. I know we are familiar with Box and know to just download it because it is there, but less confident users see this as a huge barrier.

sort
We can sort the items in a folder by size but the column of size does not show the size if the items are subfolders; instead it shows the number of files. Suggest to make it consistent or add a new column (switchable between showing "Size" or "Number of items").

Ability to opt-out from Group collaboration or hide group collaborated folders under All Files.
If collaborated as Group, the folder appears under All Files whether the user want to see it or not.
After a while, all of these folders would show up under the user's All Files and would be very hard to manage.
Thus, ability to opt-out from group collaboration or ability to "hide" folders under All Files is needed.

Document placeholder artefact
Expected document is a recurrent requirement for many scenarios (board management, underwriting, bid management...). We could add this new artefact, it could have a description, be linked to assignees and have an expected date with automated reminder.
