Provide read-only scope for user information
I'd like to provide our central identity management team a way to tell whether or not a given Box user has a > 0 byte usage before they delete the user's account (for example, as someone leaves our organization). I'd like to give them read-only API access to https://api.box.com/2.0/users, without giving them any additional access. Support tells me that this isn't currently possible. It'd be nice if it was--this could be useful for a number of other uses, too, such as reporting.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! Providing a read-only scope for Users via API is not currently on the roadmap, but we’ll update this request if that changes.

Create a org wide "Trash" bin
Provide a Main Trash Area that allows you to see at an org level what was deleted and who delete it. Would want to be able to search the content and restore files/folders as needed. As it exists today you can only view a report showing the details or view each individual users trash items which does not provide an efficient way to monitor or restore data.

Make error message more apparent when slash or back slash is used in Box Notes' title
When slash or back slash is used in the title of Box Notes, it suddenly changes back to its original title as those characters cannot be used.
An exclamation mark icon quietly appears in the right side of the title, but unless I hover over my mouse pointer, it is not apparent why it changed back my title. Please show this error message more apparent (maybe always show it for the first 10 seconds) and/or color exclamation mark icon in red, so that the users can notice what went wrong.2 votes -

Using Smart Access
When entering a List when creating a Shield Smart Access Policy, have drop down appear that shows all available lists with short descriptions so the user doesn't have to try to remember the names of the lists they created or what they generally contain.

Visibility and controls on externally owned content
Box admins should be able to restrict their users from uploading or moving sensitive content to folders that are owned by another Box instance. There should be controls around what defines sensitive content. Box admins should have visibility into what's uploaded or moved into the external folders in reports.

Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user group basis.
Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user/group basis. This could be for mobile apps, Box Drive, etc. Really make the control more granular than just all on/off for the Enterprise.

Multi-user and automatic uploads
Make box access suitable for multi user computers and have mechanism for automatically uploading data.
Use case: Lab equipment used by multiple users producing large amounts of data, automatically uploading this to box so as to limit required user interaction and keep local storage in check. Modern equipment can produce large amounts of data and being able to upload this automatically would help with data management. Requiring user intervention to manage their data is less practical with a very large user base so automating this process would again help with this process.

Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.
Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

Enhance exporting large reports
Unfortunately, we have so many collaborations, that the report stalls out for us because it exceeds the number of allowable rows in Excel. I don’t have the option to narrow by date or location.
Trying to performing permissions audit on the parent folder to ensure all permissions have been correctly applied, but I am unable to get to that information on my own.

Granular Permissions for allowing Box Drive and MFO
Granular Permissions for allowing users to access Box Drive and allow them to mark content for offline use.
Similar to the way sync functioned, it would be good to have per-user permissions for Box Drive and MFO.

Decrease upload file size limit
Hello, due to regulatory requirements conformity, we would like to lower the minimum file size limit (currently 5gb in Enterprise mode).
It would be great to be able to do it in xxx MB instead of GB
With a minimum of 100mb per se.Also, giving administrators the ability to manage this size would be helpful (currently box support has to do this).
While the user experience would suffer, it would simplify overhead and administration in terms of regulatory reporting, downstream applications, and system control.
Thank you

Would like for Single-Sign-On to be selective for certain domains for managed users under their enterprise
Would like for Single-Sign-On to be selective for certain domains for managed users under their enterprise so they have the option to authenticate through their IDP while other managed users to not. Specific Comments from Kerim Below: Yes, I would definitely appreciate if you can provide this feedback to your product development team. For us, SSO is an all-or-nothing proposition. Meaning, we will not allow the user to choose whether or not they wish to use SSO. Rationale for this is, if a user leaves the company, they can then continue to login to their corporate Box account by bypassing…

Simplify Box Experience Per Design
Currently, my firm has Box Drive integrated to our Salesforce CRM. What would help simplify and in the end optimize our experience by minimizing errors is to be allowed the option to remove the top search bar banner and the documents file path from the Salesforce instance. Limiting the access to other files from one contact to another can also help prevent accidental file modifications. Hope this can be of benefit to other Box users!

Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders
Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.

explorer copy direct link
Explorer/Finder Context Menu "Share direct link".
Currently the context menu for files in Box Drive only handles copying to the clipboard the Shared Link. We want to restrict the use of Shared Links as much as possible and would prefer if Explorer/Finder would copy the direct link, which is the one that opens when we click "View on Box.com".
