Display warning notification (admin controls) for moving large files and folders.
We have large projects folders containing 5+ GB of data. Would like to have a warning notification similar to that of deleting a file, pop up when someone goes to move a file or folder.
Ideally this would have customizable parameters controlled by the admin such as warn users only when file contains over 100 mb or even a feature that requires admin approval over a certain amount.
We recently had one of our very large folders moved accidentally and it caused a huge bandwidth issue as well as displaced the many sub folders that various departments relied on.

Create Colorized folder icons for externally shared folders
We would like an additional color (besides grey, blue, yellow) for folders that are shared with external people.
10 votesWe decided to add an external collaboration indicator within details sidebar to solve for indication of external sharing status as introducing colorized icons solely to indicate external sharing status would not be accessible.

On the browser interface, the option to Sync and Download should be the top two options in the menu
On the browser interface, the option to Sync a file or folder is in the secondary, “More Options” section of the fly-out menu. Shouldn’t "Sync" and "Download" be the top two options on the fly-out menu? That’s what most of us want to do when we use the browser interface.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! While we’re always looking for ways to improve usability on the site, we don’t plan to make this change since we’re moving toward the ‘Mark for Offline’ feature with the newer Box Drive desktop app as the long-term replacement for the ‘syncing’ features of Box Sync.
If you haven’t checked out Box Drive, I recommend downloading it and trying it out, especially now that it allows you to view all of your Box folders and files directly within Windows Explorer / macOS Finder on your desktop, and you can simply right-click a folder and choose ‘make available offline’ right from your desktop too.

Make it easier for users to specify their preferred text editor (or any other type of editor)
In many tech companies, different developer staff have different preferences on what text editors to use when editing files with Box Edit. Although the default editor for text files can be changed by modifying a registry key on the user's PC, the customer IT team (who does not like the idea of users modifying their PC registry) would like to have a user option where the user can specify their preferred text editor (similar to what is currently available in the Box user settings for Word, PPT and Excel files).
1 voteThe Box Edit app relies on the ‘default’ app settings that you have chosen at the OS-level (meaning in Windows settings or macOS settings) for what is the ‘default’ app for opening a given file type. If you’d like a specific file type opened in a different desktop app on their computer, simply change your default app settings within your Windows or macOS settings.
We only have a native preference in the Box web app when a specific file type has additional cloud-based editing integrations available on Box (like Office files, for example).

Allow for obfuscated URL references
When sharing a URL there are situations where one would rather obfuscate the company name (instead of showing such). Perhaps either there can be a "substitute" name that would be known to Box but would not be determineable by a recipient.
This feature is key when supplying evidence and wanting to avoid be named as a witness. At the moment, our company name appears in the URL making us a target for deposition.

Prevent users from knowing whether or not a valid Box account exists in signup flow
You should not let users know that an account exists due to security reasons. This gives away the identity of email addresses associated with Box accounts. Please update your account creation flow accordingly.

Send account creation emails without password language
We turn off "account creation" emails because of SSO.
Now when a user is added to the account, they are not going to receive any email letting them know the account is available for use.
It would be much better if we could simply remove the password reset language from the welcome message, but still send it.

We would like the ability to @mention users invited via groups.
A user can only invite users to folders via group. At present, if a user is invited via a group, they cannot @mention this user.

Remove highlighting in snippets from search results that aren't indexed (e.g. Boolean operators)
Currently if you search with a Boolean operator (e.g. AND, OR, NOT), our search does not index those words. However, we still highlight those terms if they appear in the snippets, leading to confusion over whether the search is indexing them or not.
