Should be able to share files with non Box users and they don't have to login/create a Box account.
Why can non Box users not edit files without creating a log in. Is there a way that this can be done? I feel like they had this feature before when if you shared the file with the correct permissions folks could just open, edit the file and the changes would be saved.

I want to prevent users from renaming folders.
Especially in Japan, it is very important from an auditing perspective to prevent users from changing folder names.

Open PowerPoint Shows (.pps, .ppsx) in Box Web
Box should recognise additional Microsoft Office file-extensions - particularly .pps and .ppsx - which when opened, immediately runs the Powerpoint Slide Show
Currently, it is necessary to download instead, or keep as .ppt / .pptx - which would not run the Slide Show immediately, and would enable users to edit (unnecessarily)

use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)
Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.
Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

Outlook attach from box sort preference
When using the 'Attach from Box ' feature in Outlook. I always want to see most recent items because it makes it easy to attach a link for a file that I have just worked on. I have to change how files are sorted every time to Name to Date: Newest to Oldest.

data loss in mobile applications
Box is currently unable to save any new files directly from office mobile applications to Box fileserver locations, and the files disappear into the void when attempting to do so. After a few wasted hours of troubleshooting Senior Box Support indicated this is a result from a lack of support for mobile co-authoring functionality. An error message at the absolute bare minimum to instruct users to only save data locally would be the expectation when a file cannot be saved before data loss occurs.

launching office pop up box
Can you add an option to tick a box 'do not show this again' for the launching office pop up. I have to shut this so many times a day and it's totally pointless for a regular user.

Box for Microsoft Office Co-Authoring for Password Protected Files
Unfortunately, co-authoring option is not currently supported for password-protected files. Box have told me this is because the system considers the password protection as a lock.
Therefore bringing it your attention to add this feature request.Also we are finding that co-authoring takes a lot long to open files and it is not as smooth as its made out to be.

Microsoft Office
When collaborating on Office documents shared via Box we're unable to track changes. It would be nice to have this enabled. Essentially the same functionality as if we were working within Sharepoint.

Please allow us to set the default sort preference for individual folders.
It is very frustrating, that the folders all default to descending order by file name. This should be able to be set for each folder.

Shared Link creation doesn't automatically add user to folder when adding file in Box for Office in Outlook
When adding a file to an email in Outlook and using the Box for Office integration to upload it to Box and create a shared link, you have the option to make the link visible to Invited Users Only. However, when doing this, it does not add all users as collaborators to the file so they can access the shared link. Ideally, the integration should add the users CC'd in the email ass collaborators if they are not collabed already so that they can access the Invited People only link

I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files
Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages■procedure
①Lock the target file
②Download the file and update it locally
③Upload updated files
④Unlock■demerit
Many steps and cumbersome
If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

Box for Outlook Add-in fixed to save emails as .msg
When trying to save an email using the "Save to Box" Add-in, the only option is .eml. This was an old format for outlook express. Once an email is saved in this format, it cannot be opened in Outlook client. There needs to be an option for .msg. Using the File > Save As option allows you to change the extention, but that is extra steps. Outlook web will allow you to open the saved email, but you cannot save it as a .msg after the fact.
