Enhance and support the Box Embed Widget for mobile browsers.
We outsource hosting and presenting documents to Box. We allow our users to upload documents in our app and we upload them to Box via API. Later on, when users want to view the file, we ask the Box API for an iframe URL and embed it in our app. So, in the end, no one is logged in to any box applications, because we use the API under the hood.
16 votesThank you for the submission. We are currently collecting use cases and feature requests for the Box Embed widget, and are considering it for update in a future planning cycle. We do not have a timeline for this at present, but ask you to continue to submit feedback here in the meantime.

Functionality to clear pinned device from user's account settings
Currently pinned devices for the device pinning functionality can be cleared by the admin console only. User should be able to do this so that user can choose which devices to use Box with without asking the Box admin every time.

Add an event for file being released from legal hold.
We already have an event for removing the legal hold assignment, but that doesn’t tell us if each of the files under that hold is released from the hold or not.

Expose Metadata (EXIF, Codec, Duration, DPI, Resolution, Rating, etc.) with a "Properties" or "Get Info" like appraoch
Both Windows and macOS can easily expose more info - this includes the rich metadata in any kind of file.
It'd be nice to have an "All Properties" or "More Info" type of file that displays a files full metadata.
This data is already baked into the file and only needs to be exposed or indexed for display/searching.
Examples:
EXIF (camera, model, photographer, exposure settings, etc.), IPTC (keywords, location, description), Movie FPS, Movie Duration, Movie Codec, Movie Audio Channel Count, Image Resolution, Image DPI, Office Document Author, etc.Workflow:

Add refresh button to Box Drive
Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.

When deleting or adding members to a group, it isn't clear that the 'Save' button has to be pressed to save those actions.
When deleting or adding members to a group, it isn't clear that the 'Save' button has to be pressed to save those actions. So, it might be worth popping up a box iwhen a user performs such an action in order to inform the user, when a member is added or deleted, the action will not be complete until the 'Save' button is pressed.

Writing to tags with Skill’s Down Scoped token
I want to display image analysis results for multiple files on the standard Box page.
If you had released Metadata Query feature, I would have fulfilled my request, but you decided to postpone the release of this feature.
So I hope to be able to write to the tags with Skill’s Down Scoped token, not only Skills Card and metadata, because tags are the only means that can display image analysis results when a list of contents is displayed.1 vote -
Folder Tree View in WebApp (Windows Explorer/Finder, eBuilder)
I noticed that Box does not have a high-level folder tree view, except in the 'All Files' page (you click on the arrow next to "All Files"). Many Box folders in my company's folder structure take a very long time to load - however the folder tree view on the 'All Files' page loads quicker, but still not as fast as another application like eBuilder. Having a permanent option on the web application would be very efficient when tracking down files, and load times won't be as cumbersome. Currently, having to click through multiple folders in order to access the…

Disable Preview Thumbnail feature
It would be good to have a profile setting to disable the Preview Thumbnail feature for my account. The feature should also remember whether you toggle the feature off for a specific file, so you don't have to repeatedly toggle it every time you view the file.

1. Search for specific file extensions. 2. Replace file extensions within box web
We should be able to type in a specific file extension in the File Type.
Ex. I'm trying to search for all .4tx files that we have, which are old 4sight Fax documents. These files are actually TIFF images, but we need to replace the extension on all of them so we can view them in our current environment, since we don't use that really old application. Box doesn't have a way to search specifically for those extensions so I have to search all file types and end up getting way more non relevant results.If we have a file…

Create Insights-only co-admin permission
Create the ability to give a user a view of the Insights dashboard without having to give them full reporting permissions. Reporting gives specific data on individual users. This requires greater vetting, particularly if your Box instance contains sensitive data. If an executive wants to get stats from time to time, we should be able to provide the view to Insights without giving them that deeper reports view which may require special data clearances.

Integrate with Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense can create a connection to a local folder or Dropbox for integrating files into its date loaed editor. It would be great if box.com could integrate directly with Qlik Sense as a folder source.

Only send notification of FTP login activity after first connection
Currently, a service that connects to Box via FTP every 15 minutes via a cronjob also causes Box to send an email every 15 minutes about a "Box-login from 'Box FTP Server'". It makes sense the first time, but for every new connection, this seems a bit overkill, and leaving the connection open all the time is not always desired either.

Opening PDF files using native PDF viewer
Clicking on a PDF should open the PDF in the default PDFviewer (e.g. Bluebeam) instead of previewing the file.

Detailed Email Notifications
Hi Team,
It would be a lot better if we can receive an email notification that is more detailed unlike on what we usually received. Hopefully, You can add more information on the action that was taken that triggered that email notification.
For example:
Can you add more details for folders and the user what took the action on those folders.

Add "synchronize" or "versions" to the BoxCLI "folders:upload" functions
I am looking for a way to "synchronize" a folder and all of it's contents with the BoxCLI.
So, lets say i run this command:"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID%"
How can i upload the folder, and only "Update" what has changed?
It would be nice to have something for "Folders" like you have for "Files"
"box files:versions:upload FILEID PATH"
maybe - "box folders:versions:upload FOLDERID PATH"
which would update all of the contents of the folder, version stuff that exist, add items that don't.
I know i can "box:folders:delete"... then "box:folders:upload" again.. but seems a waist of bandwidth and time..

Add "Box DICOM Import" functions to the BoxCLI
One thing that would be handy is to be able to upload a folder (of dicom files) and process the contents with the "Box DICOM Import" functionality using the BoxCLI.
Maybe something like: (add a flag to current box:folders:upload command)
"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID% --dicom-import"
That would be Nice!
