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.

Updated "Modified By" when restoring version of a file
The “Modified By” field doesn’t update when an old version is promoted – but the “Modified Date” field does. If one field updates, both should. If we are using the file’s metadata for one field, we should use this for both.

Wait until Save Changes before enabling email uploads
When ticking ‘box’ to create email for folder upload (https://community.box.com/t5/Upload-and-Download-Files-and/Upload-to-Box-Through-Email/ta-p/50552), do not update change automatically, wait until you hit the “Save Changes” button. We have had users tick this box unintentionally and mess up a complicated workflow.

See file size of previous versions
Want to be able to see the previous version file sizes without having to download the previous files.
1 voteInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Notification about Update of File
If you share a link to a file or folder, is there a way for recipients on that file to be notified that the file has been updated or in the case of a folder that another file has been added?
For example, when they receive the link, could there be a message that says, if you'd like to get updated about this file/folder enter your e-mail. Then Box has a way of sending them the updates.

'Hide Collaborators' allows users to see who updated a file/folder if the updating user is an owner
On the 'Hide Collaborators' option, the text note says "If enabled, only the folder owner and co-owners will be able to view collaborators and their activity in the folder. This also removes the ability for non-owners to invite collaborators".
In reality, a user is able to see the name of a user who has last updated a file/folder but only if that user who last updated is the owner. I feel like the above definition isn't clear enough and makes it seem as though only owners/co-owners can see collaborators.

Allow use of punctuation symbols in file and folder names
Our users cannot use punctuation symbols when naming folders/files and it’s causing their end users problems. Sometimes using more than one space between words is causing them problems.
They use Box exclusively through the webapp, so it doesn’t seem that this is a desktop related issue or that it’s a Sync related issue. I have heard of some limitations with Windows via the desktop when it comes to folder/file names syncing over.

Modify shared link settings on multiple files/folders at once.
E.g., if I want to remove sharing from all of the items I found in my search results (above) then I multi-select and adjust sharing.
