Ability to restore folder structures to point-in-time
Similar to version history, we would like the ability to select a folder, folder structure, or subset of folders/files and restore all content therein to a specific point in time. OneDrive recently released a histogram with a timeline slider feature allowing admins to restore select content to a specific period in time. For users moving from on-prem or used to backups, this provides confidence in giving the right access levels to users to get work done with the ability to revert content/structures if needed in case of accidental moved/edited or corrupted content.

Disable shared link expiration notifications
This unstoppable auto-notification [for shared link expiration], specifically, is the worst. While we are a fairly small firm, we use Box pretty extensively and we use shared links pretty extensively. All of our shared links automatically expire. As a result, my inbox is continuously inundated with this notification (we’re talking nearly 100, each day). I don’t have the time to look at each and review them. I don’t know if anyone could ever actually have the time to review them and make any kind of meaningful decision or conclusion based on, what is effectively, spam. With no way to stop…

Enable "Autoplay" for video files
Would love to have an "autoplay" feature to toggle on/off for shared links. We want to host video files on Box for newsletters and want our video content to autoplay when clicked on.

Please include the Box Sync app to use Windows 10's Metered connection setting. Disabling box sync on metered connection (Cell Hot Spots)
Give the user the option to enable or disable syncing on a metered connection. A lot of the time I want to sync while at home or the office. But I dont need to download 500mb of co-worker changes while I just needed to check my email.

Consolidate and replace
Edge case failure! :
1) Upload testXMovie.mp4
2) Upload testYMovie.mp4
3) UPDATE testYMovie.mp4 by uploading testXMovie.mp4 againUpload fails without solution or description.
Better: "The file you are uploading TestXmovie.mp4 already exists in this folder. Would you like to replace both files with this one? (or cancel)"

Trial
You could not block the interface with your checklist. I can't use the interface because the checklist is in the way.
Make it dismissable. Maybe pop it up if you log in, but don't have it covering part of the interface and allow it to be dismissed.1 vote -
Box Drive activity should show up in the recents section of the webapp
Would be great if the recents section showed in the web app showed all content recently used and not just content in accessed in the web app. When I am using Box Drive the webapp recents section does not pick up that content.

I would like to automatically set some options when creating a Box user. This is more about options in the Account settings.
We are currently provisioning automatically BOX users via our IDP and SAML assertion.When a user is added to an Active Directory group, his BOX account is automatically created.
I would like to automatically set some options when creating a BOX user. This is more about options in the Account settings. For example : country, number of lines displayed by page, default homepage…
Having particular attributes or API calls to manage these issues would fulfill the need.

Cleanup and Enhance the file/folder webhook events to cover all the happy paths (new file, new file version, restore previous version)
As a Box Application Developer I want to be able to receive a unique, webhook events for the following scenarios:
- User uploads new file (brand new binary object placed into a Box Folder) - Folder based event (exists: FILE.UPLOADED)
- User uploads a new file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_NEW.VERSION)
- User restores a previous file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_RESTORE.VERSION)
As the owner of an enterprise application that has deep integration in the BOX platform, it is surprising that I have no way to use the Webhooks to monitor files for new versions…

Report of folders with no content
Need a report that shows all folders with no content inside. Also need to see the date last modified, and the users associated. Reason being, we need to clean up and archive appropriately for long term scalability. This is specifically related to the salesforce integration.

Limit which applications can be used for non-trusted pc's
I'd like the ability to limit which applications can be used to open files for non-trusted pc's (and mac's). I'd like to limit non-domain pc's to open files using Office online applications, but not using Office clients installed on the PC directly. The goal is to remove the ability for non-domain pc's to continue editing files, but not have them stored locally in any way.

As a Box user I want to be able to specify the starting page for a file using the Box Embed Widget so that I do not have to create multiple
Background:
Whenever I have a multi-page document that I wish to embed on a Wiki or Web page I have to create multiple, physical copies of that file (and keep them in sync) when I want a specific page to be shown on the widget.
Business Impact:
Reduced issues and time wasted with having to maintain multiple physical documents that have to be created in order to show specific pages on wiki's and web sites.

Notify users of product updates in-app
Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.7 votes -

Customer Privacy
I noticed a bug in your system. You can set permissions so that users cannot see other users. However, I discovered a loophole that would compromise this and allow users to access other user's personal information like email addresses. When typing an email on the comments section, it will display other user's email addresses even when those permission are set off. I was told by a Box customer service rep that there is no way to set user permissions and avoid that customer privacy problem.

The pop up box when you first sign up is very obtrusive. There's no X to click to make the box disappear and it's not helpful.
Allow users to click on the basic steps box on the bottom left corner to disappear. It's obtrusive to have to walk through those steps to make it go away
