Add a home to the web UI
Add Home to the menu in the Web UI above All Files and allow it to be the default we a user first logs in. It should be associated with what they set their home page to be (i.e. Favorites, Collections, etc.). When using a closed folder structure where users can't create files and folders on the All Files page it makes no sense to take them to this page by default because natural thought would be that they should be able to create on this page not need to navigate to another page.

There should be a way to copy or clone File Request form templates to new directories instead of resetting to the default template.
Our department is using File Request links on our Box Enterprise account to provide donors with a simple submission form to upload digital materials for our collections.
We would like to set up one folder for each potential donor who will be submitting digital collections for us to review and process. (This will make it much easier for us to manage submissions, to review them for security, and to track them for procesing.) However, we also need to customize the File Request submission form for directories to include a standard boilerplate of instructions and to request a description of the…
5 votesThe status update to this feedback is delayed, but this feature is now available through the File Request Edit. In the File request Edit, you will find Copy in the additional options. Once you click on it, you will be able to select folders to which you want to copy the file request. There is also an API available, and the details are available at https://developer.box.com/guides/file-requests/copy/.

File Request - Display Icon on Folders with File Request Enabled
On the website, much like the icons on/next to folders for Shared Links, Descriptions, or Sync To Desktop, it would be nice to have an icon for folders that have the File Request feature enabled on them. It would greatly assist with being able to easily identify folders that have the feature enabled at first glance. Thank you.

Create the file request link for each doctor's portal page in Japan
Create the file request link for each doctor's portal page In Japan, the power balance of doctors and pharms are quite unique, and doctors are considered very high class and it is very hard for pharm to ask the doctor to create the box account. So pharm generally creates portal sites for doctors and they wants to create the links and embed to the pages.

We actually already have a ‘Show Folder Tree’ feature in the Web App – you can access it by simply clicking ‘Show Folder tree’ when on the All Files page in your account. Here’s a screenshot of what that feature looks like: https://cloud.box.com/s/zihrv07iv7mei41a0uf8ew5fnc9dlu9n

Remove Open with Office Online Option
We would like the ability to remove the option for opening documents in Office Online (ex: Microsoft Excel Online: Open this file in your browser). We are not O365 customers and people are often confused since the option to open in the native desktop Office app looks practically the same.

Custom dialogue upon login
I would like the ability to have a text alert at the top of our page that promotes a tool, such as Box for Office, on the All Files and Folders page.
I did look at the terms of service option, but I do not think that is what we are looking for. We were hoping there would be some way to either add text to the All Files view that could alert members to features we wish to promote, such as the co-authoring or the DocuSign app, maybe like the way people are prompted to accept or reject folder…
