  1. Use autocomplete to select metadata templates

    I have a metadata field that contains a choice list that is 35 items long. Rather than scrolling down to select one, I want to type the first letter and have it jump down the list to the first item with that letter as the first letter.

    Before your most recent upgrade of the metadata functionality, I could type a letter or two into a select field and the field would auto complete with the choice in the drop down that most matches it. Now I can no longer type into the drop down list field. This really reduces usability…

  2. Box for Trimble integration

    We would like to be able to use a software called Trimble. It would streamline clicks/content if there was a Box for Trimble integration.

  4. Allow the Copy to also include file history

    There are times when making a copy of a file should allow version history to be captured as well. Point in Time copies can help with legal matters, and having the version history can help us understand when changes were made, what changes were made and by whom. This shouldn't be on a move ONLY feature but also a copy feature/option.

  5. Allow SVG logos in Enterprise Branding

    Box uses an SVG to keep their logo crips on high DPI displays. I want to be able to upload an SVG in Enterprise Settings > Branding to get our logo crisp as well. PNG files aren't cutting it on high resolution displays on any basic Mac these days.

  6. We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses

    We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses
    (For example, register the IP address list of our proxy server )

    We believe it is the best to be able to specify a list of accessible IP address range on the apps in the application registration screen

  7. Anyone can upload file via shared link

    I want that through the shared link anyone who gets that link can be not only viewer but also uploader. This would be very helpful for us when collecting data,pictures, files - anything.
    It would be great to have option 1. viewer only option 2. viewer and uploader - that way we can choose if people can only view or view and upload.

  8. Ability to be able to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users

    Ability to be able to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users themselves.

    Users can know the result of upload with pop-up on WebApp, but they have no way to confirm it if they leave for a while. Because the pop-up disappears in a few seconds.
    Therefore, we would like an ability to check if uploading was successful or not by managed users themselves.

  9. Add Optional Security Notifications for Admins, Reports for Public Links, and Customize the Insights Dashboard

    We'd like to be able to receive notifications when a user creates a shared like that is "public" or available to anyone externally. With recent security concerns, we're not able to easily see how many public links are being created. The reports time out and we have to reach out to Box Support every time we want that data. In addition to better abilities to report and customize reports as many people have mentioned, it would be nice to customize the Insights dashboard to see the pertinent data to our organization.

  10. username

    "Copy Local Link" in the right click menu.
    There is a "Copy Shared Link" in the right click menu that creates a link to the file or folder on the Box web. I would like a similar function that creates a link to the local file system, replacing the first part of the path with "%USERNAME%" or "%USERPROFILE%". With this function it would be possible to send links to files in the local file system.

  11. Preview in my locale, not US (date formatting)

    When using the Excel preview and a date format that should respect my locale, Box uses US as default. US date format is the world's littlest used format, used only by the USA.
    It should respect my chosen region from my preferences. But doesn't.

  13. Allow setup quota for Box Driver(Mac)

    Currently there's no way in Mac to check my Box driver's quota setting, nor allow me change it.
    Please open this feature to us. I want to use that to control my Mac's disk usage, especially when I need to upgrade my Mac to latest OS. I need to release my disck space for upgrading.

  14. Redtail

    Redtail is one of the most prolific CRM systems for financial advisors. (Roughly 25% market share)

    However there doesn't seem to be an integration with Box.

    Would be great to have links to client files in Redtail

  16. Increase minimum characters required for password

    When making password requirement settings through the Admin Console security tab the range for minimum required characters only go up to 12. Can this be customised or increased to have more required characters than 12 up to 15?

  17. Export all Collaborators on an item from Web UI

    As an editor - when I go to a folder, I can see everyone collaborated into that folder.
    On the right hand side, I can click on a user or on an icon that shows + x number people.

    When I do that it opens a page showing a table of users collaborated in.
    Name/ Email address/ Permission / Date Added/ Added To

    I would love a button to click which would simply export a .csv of that table.

    Seems simple as that table is presented on the web page.

    not planned  ·  Brad Monroe responded

    Thanks for the suggestion! While I definitely see the usefulness of being able to export a report of collaborators on an item, we don’t plan to launch this feature in the near term as we’re focused on other various collaboration improvements.

  18. Python example for "create upload session" is wrong

    The Python sample for "Create upload session" seems wrong:

    What you provided is:
    filesize = 26000000
    upload
    session = client.file('11111').createuploadsession(file_size)

    But it should be:
    client.folder('11111').createuploadsession(filesize, filesize).

    Please check and confirm.

  20. Enable version history disabling at the folder level

    Our business requires the ability to disable version history for some clients who require that no past versions of files exist. We need the ability to disable versioning for part of the business, while retaining it for other parts. We can't be alone in this...
