  1. Shortcut for file locking

    When you open a file and click the "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" message can we have some simple click boxes showing the lock time options rather than a drop menu, this would solve the problem where the application opens before you get chance to lock the file..

  2. Pre-Selecting item on new list view & grid view

    Previousely list view was shown information in the right pane by ジュst only selecting an item with the cursor like a Stepping stone.
    You can't do that with the new UI.
    Check >shown > Uncheck >move next item> Check next >shown>Uncheck....and more...
    it's not speedy action.
    We know that pre-selected items by cusor↓↑key, move to checkbox using tab key then enter key, then check each item.

    But need keyboard shortcuts easier.

    Like a round robbin.

  3. The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder

    The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder.

    Same functionality Instagram lets me do with photos.

  4. Organizing Shared folders. Can't rely on collaborators to do it.

    It would be very helpful if I could move shared folders into a "folder" (choose your term for some thing that would mimic a folder) that would allow me to group all shared folders together. Ideally, I would be able to create my own hierarchy within that folder to be able to organize all of the shared folders how I want vs. just having every shared folder cluttering up my Box root level. I know I can use Collections, however, Collections don't show up in Box Drive.

  5. Enable and Disable Print and Download Functions independently in the Content Viewer.

  6. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.

  7. Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience

    Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience.

    Today I can open an individual file in a new browser tab by pressing [Command + Click], but it is not intuitive.

    it would better if there is also a window that shows the status of moves or copies in box, similar to uploads.

  9. Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions

    Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions.

    When I change subfolder permissions to give someone higher permissions (e.g. Editor to Co-Owner), it changes the parent folder permissions too.

    This makes sense that you wouldn't be able to give someone lower permissions in the subfolder than the parent folder, but makes no sense the other way around.

  10. Ability to upvote or interact with content in Box with Emojis, similar to what you can do in Slack

    This is especially important if you want to have a large vote on content in Box (e.g. Box Hackathon) without massively blasting everybody with notifications.

  11. Allow me to set default sorting to alphabetical anywhere

    Please, pretty please — allow me to set default sort of folder contents to alphabetical within a folder, for any folder. Should be an option under Settings for the folder.

    I have folders numbered for steps in a publication process, and I have to click "Name" every single *#$% time I display the folder list because it defaults to most recent. I may need to access any step in the process at any point in time; recent is USELESS to me. This is sooooo cognitively draining because I am touching dozens to 100s of files a day.

    Note: this is…

  12. Bring back the comments icon

    I get so many notifications it's hard to manage notifications. Can you bring back the comment icon on a file that someone has added their notes to? Unless I click on the file to open it up, I can't tell someone has left a comment or change. Thanks!

  13. Admin, content owner, and/or content co-owners can lock folders in the native UI so that they can't be moved.

    Make Owner/Co-Owner folder lock available in native web interface. It's really bad if a folder that shouldn't be moved gets moved by an Editor. Right now, this is only available via API https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/

  14. Ability to change file/folder name rich text

    It would be lovely if a user could change the font/color/bold/underline on file and folder names.

    We have a scenario where we are going to "archive" certain shared folders and lump them under a single folder but it would be nice if we could change the color of the text of the folder name to say red and maybe make it bold. It would stand out in the list of all folders in the root.

  15. Show size of all files in a folder

    When downloading, it would be useful to compare the total size of what has been downloaded to the total size of what is being downloaded. Files have sizes listed, not sure about folders, but a total of whatever is on the page, or what is selected would be useful.

  16. Make anonymous editing from "Someone" easier to investigate through the native Box interface, rather than requiring Event Log API or Reports

    Make anonymous editing from "Someone" easier to investigate through the native Box interface, rather than requiring Event Log or User Activity Report (e.g. did this come from Shared Link with "People with Link" permission, a File Request, email upload, etc.)

    E.g. "Folder Details" --> "Modified" section says "Modified by xxxxx through Microsoft Office Online integration" or "Downloaded by Someone/Anonymous through Shared Link" or "Uploaded by Someone/Anonymous through File Request"

  17. Display password for a shared link

    When you set a password for a shared link, you cannot verify what you've entered.
    It would be great to be able to see the password entered, or at least have a second box to reenter the password (to be sure it's correct).

  18. Column with type of update and badge if unseen by me

    I would like to see a column or some other means to see the type of update made to the file vs current view just showing the time and account that updated. Example: comment added, new version uploaded, edited, etc.

    It would be even more valuable to understand if I have seen the update, similar to "updated" icon on recents view page.

    Currently I have to reconcile by the updated time if the update is new to me which often typically requires going in to preview area to track changes manually, which can be difficult and tedious and sometimes impossible…

  19. Need to add the "Add or Create Folder" button/option just like on the old UI

    A HUGE part of our co-admins job is to add folders to managed users accounts. Taking away this functionality is a major oversight and needs to be added to the new UI.
