Thanks for the suggestion! We don’t currently plan to increase this limit given the potential performance impact this would have on page load times. We are, however, looking into alternate solutions for pagination.

Disable ability to use a secondary password
We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.
Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

Viewers of watermarked files can download file before previewing it
Owner of folder wants to have users be able to mass download files within watermarked folder. In the current way, user has to preview each file individually before seeing option to download.

There are several workarounds to achieve this in the current product, so we will not prioritize this feature in our roadmap.

Send out expiration notifications to folder co-owners
We currently only send out expiration notifications to the folder owner and not the co-owner

Drag and drop files from Box into a document
Our users have all of their content/ media files/ images stored in Box. They routinely drag and drop images to a document (PPT, Word etc.) to prepare docs.
Right now, unless users sync all their files, they cannot drag and drop the file into a document. They have to download it and then add it to doc.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! There is no workaround for this use case at this time.

Server side un-zipping of files
Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.
Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.
2 votesThis is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

Ability to play video from grid view in new UI
As opposed to having to click into the file to preview the video playback
1 voteThank you for this suggestion. This would be a pretty big change from a technical perspective and is not currently planned.

Enable Web App to display the SHA-1 checksum for an object
We work with multiple large files and would like to be able to view the SHA-1 checksum that is stored in Box from the Web App in order to validate file transfer integrity as necessary.
8 votesThis is a very acute use case that isn’t in line with what we’re currently investing in for Web App. We will re-evaluate with additional customer demand.

Request to add an Address book feature when adding or @mentioning users.
Currently, there are only 5 suggestions displayed when adding, @mentioning users.
There are more than 5 users with the same name and it is hard to filter out the exact user.
We would like an address book feature so we can filter out the users to invite. Address book should include user name, Organization name, groups, etc.
5 votesThis is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers.
We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Remove 'Get our app to view this on mobile' Text/Link in Emails for EMM-Enabled EIDs OR Allow Link Customization
For customers that use Box for EMM (and have disabled the standard Box apps), the 'get our app to view this on mobile' link/text in the standard Box email notifications (like for @mentions, uploads, etc.) is confusing because users in that EID won't actually be able to log into the standard Box app that it links to.
REQUEST:
1. Either provide the option to remove this text from emails
OR
2. Allow customization of this text to change the link that it points to (so a customer can link to their software/app catalog where users download the Box for EMM…8 votesHey there! Thanks for submitting this feedback, but due to competing priorities, we cannot put this ask on our roadmap at this time.

Add additional collaborator role between "Editor" and "Viewer Uploader" that allows a user to delete
The ability for a Viewer Uploader to also delete content
5 votesThanks for the suggestion! Based on the current information provided, we don’t currently have a feature like this planned.
We’d love to hear additional use case context from interested users, however, in why the need exists to have Viewer Uploaders be able to ‘delete’ without simply raising them to ‘Editor’ level. Any additional information would be very helpful.
-
Live Video Streaming
Ability to live stream video content via Box.
2 votesInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.
-
Ability for Partial Searches
If the filename is Security Committee, searching ?Commit will find the file but searching omit will not.
Maybe the keywordless search option that is coming up will solve this? Not sure. Thanks!
5 votesThanks for your suggestion! We will not be adding this functionality in the foreseeable future.
-
Create new folder from Move/Copy Dialogue box
We regularly need to move and copy content to different locations in Box. It would be very helpful to have a "New Folder" option within the move/copy dialogue Box. This would help mirror desktop functionality (and sync, which currently supports this feature).
8 votesThis is a very narrow use case, so it’s not a priority for our roadmap right now.

Allow users to adjust line spacing between items shown in list view
In the new Box UI, some users are asking for the ability to adjust the spacing between items shown in list view (some users want to widen this while others want to cram things closer together)
1 voteWe do plan to offer an Accessibility Mode where users can set font to be larger and contrast to be higher, but we don’t plan to allow complete customization of spacing
-
Account Deactivated Message
We would like custom deactivated messages to redirect users to our helpdesk.
Current:
"Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. Please contact your administrator at EMAIL"Proposed:
"Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. If you think this was a mistake, please contact the Company Helpdesk."4 votesWe are not prioritizing custom messages for in app pop-ups at the moment. This is an edge use case, resource-intensive, and has a low ROI for the majority of our users. We will let you know if anything changes.

Upload via Email: Add Option to Not Send the Confirmation Email to the Uploader
Currently, when someone sends an email (with an attachment) to an 'upload via email' email address, Box automatically sends that user an 'upload complete' confirmation email.
There are various scenarios where an admin does not want end users to receive this confirmation email -- whether the user should not know that Box is the tool being used or for other reasons.
REQUEST: Add a 'send confirmation email to uploaders' option that can be unchecked (but is enabled by default) within the Upload via Email setting on the Folder Settings page.

Add Templates to the 'New' Button
We often work with very templatized documents on Box.
REQUEST: Add the ability for admins or users to define or 'save' templates to their 'New' menu in Box.
1 voteUnfortunately, due to competing priorities, this is not currently on our roadmap.
