Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App
In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.
This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

Kanban metadata view in Box Apps
As a user, I'd like to be able to map a metadata field to metadata view columns so that I can clearly manage content as part of my daily process.
Instead of my 'Status' field being one column with multiple values, I'd like to each value to be its own column e.g. Not Started, In Progress, Pending, so that I get a status-driven view of my content.

Filter on multiple text values in text data type
Currently, a metadata field needs to already be a multiselect to use the Match Any to allow form multiple match cases for a given metadata field. If the data type is a text field you and only match on one value.
Essential, we would like to be able to create an OR conditional match on multiple values for a text field when querying metadata in a Box App View.
4 votesPlease note that filtering by multiple text values across all the metadata is already possible in Box Apps, either with the Natural Language Query (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48755807432211-AI-powered-search-and-filtering-in-Box-Apps) or using "OR" in the keyword search.

Ability to invite external unmanaged users into Box Apps
We are requesting a new feature that allows external (unmanaged) users to be invited into Box Apps.
Use Case Example:
A law firm wants to share categorized legal documents with their clients through Box. Currently, Box Apps enable internal users to view and manage files with rich metadata, making it easy to organize and automate workflows. However, clients cannot access these metadata views directly. Customers should have the ability to view this structure and even work with it to launch automations and processes, as well as search their documents more easily.11 votes -
Assign user to item in Box App
As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a specific user in Box App rather than relying on free text or metadata drop down fields so that I can send a notification or task and see additional user information such as email and profile photo

The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps
When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.
When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

Download all files from view
Currently, you are only able to download the files visible in a view. If there are more than 25 files you want to download, you need to complete multiple batches. If you have a folder with 500 items in it, you can download the whole folder.
We would like to see an option where you can export all files in a view like you can with a folder so specific information can be aggregated across our environment and retrieved via a Box App
1 voteWe are not currently planning on offering bulk downloads as it is possible to have many thousands of files returned in a View.
However, you can change this setting (Files and Folders per page) for your user to 100 to get more items on a single page in Box Apps as it respects that setting on a per-user basis.
You can also use the "Location" column to go to the Folder that contains that file if what you want to download is in the same folder hierarchy.
