"Accept Invite" emails to folders should redirect you to login/account creation
Current scenario:
- Invited a non-Box user to a folder (in regular Chrome Window)
- Non-Box user went to their email and clicked on "Accept Invite" (Went on an - Incognito browser to complete the flow for the Non-Box User account)
- Non-Box User is sent to a "Box Collaborator Sign Up" page so that they can create a new Box account - (looks like this - https://app.box.com/s/5www70u7wuo4x3myb5w5yf91kdwi5c5g)
- After entering info, click "Submit"
- Immediately re-directed to your new Box account
- In your new Box account, you will see the pending invite to the folder you were invited to on the All Files…
3 votesThank you for this highlight!
This is a bit awkward, but not a high priority to fix given our team’s current priorities. We will reconsider with additional demand.

While we don’t have any current plans to support this feature, I would recommend the following workaround to use the ‘Description’ field that appears at the top of a folder. You can even add hyperlinks into the description! More information is available here: https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Migrating-and/Adding-Descriptions-to-Folders-and-Files/ta-p/58565

Drag and drop into subfolders
This functionality was available in the old UI but not in the new UI. It is causing a lot of extra work for our admins.
They now have to click down directly into subfolders before they can drag and drop to upload the files in the correct folder.

Make folder/file description visible again under the File/Folder name vs new details pane
Description of file/folder has been moved to the details pane on the right side. My customer is seeing this as a regression and not as user friendly as before and would like to see description to come back under folder/file name (like in old UI) as opposed to the Details pane in New UI
17 votesThanks for the suggestion, however, at this time, we do not plan to revert the changes to the description pane.

Keep PDF searchable, bar downloading
The ability to share a file or folder with an external party, and let it be searchable (ctrl-f), but not able to be copied or downloadable. Watermarking would solve for the copying, but the ability to ctrl-f and download appear to be inextricably linked.

Sorting - Don't Sort Folders First (Or Provide User-Level Setting to Choose)
The webapp (and mobile) have traditionally always sorted Folders, then Files (followed by Bookmarks) regardless of which sort order (name, updated, etc.) is chosen.

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

Bounceback sent to admin when they send an email to noreply@box.com
When a comment is added to a file in Box a notification is sent to an end user from the email "noreply@box.com" If that recipient then replied to the email would the bounce back of being "undelivered" be controlled by Box or the admins email?
End users are currently not receiving a bounce back email and therefore unaware their comments are not being delivered so our admin is missing out on comments.

Always Show Show/Hide Option for Hiding Left Sidebar
The left sidebar in the new Web App auto-hides at smaller window size (due to responsive design), but some users would like the show/hide option for the left sidebar to always be shown (like the button already is for the right sidebar) to allow for increased space for the file list columns (Name, Modified, Size).
REQUEST: Always display the show/hide button for the left sidebar, regardless of the window size.
13 votesWe’re aware that the lack of space to show file and folder names is an issue. We’re working on addressing this in different ways.
