Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.
Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.
Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.
Dropbox:

Sharing folders takes too many clicks
It takes too many steps to share. When box first came it was awesome- 1 click to create a folder and 1(2?) clicks to share. Now it is 5 (five!!!!) steps to be able to put the folder link into "pasting" into email position. Why are you yet another company who along with increased success make it worse for its users? And contacting you regarding this issue is such a hassle- there is no direct "contact" information to voice this issue. That communicates that you really show no interest in us users.

Allow collaboration with secondary email addresses/alias
Our users have email addresses ending with <company name>.bw and the UPN is ending with <company name>.com.
Box treats <company name>.com and <company name>.bw as different IDs and Box only logs through SSO, so account is validated through UPN only which is <company name>.com.
When users login with <company name>.com they are able to login to box but they are unable to see the files which have been shared with <company name>.bw id.
When any file/folder is shared with <company name>.com id users do not receive any email because the primary SMTP has been setup with <company name>.bw.2 votes -

Move uploaded files (via an Automation) to different folders based on the file type.
Use case: Users could bulk upload a range of file types (docx, image pdf, audio etc) into a single folder that redirects each file based on the file type to different folders for different skills processing.

For the Salesforce managed package, integrate with built-in merge funcionality
Currently, within Salesforce, if records are merged, the link to the child Box folder gets lost and orphaned. The integration should hook into this out-of-the-box functionality to maintain data integrity for Box files on the platform.

Custom Applications Scroll
At IBM we have a large number of JWT applications currently whitelisted and we receive new requests for them daily. When we want to whitelist a new application, we have to click through 9 pages of Custom Applications listed in the admin console to Enable the App Authorization.
This makes approving 4 applications a 30 minute process because each arrow click to the nexxt page takes up to a minute to load.
Instead of having arrows to flip between the pages of existing JWT apps, I recommend a scroll bar so we can quickly scroll to the bottom of the…

Publish a changelog of Box Drive updates
The blog is nothing close to release notes and version history. I’m looking for something more industry standard. Please put that in as a feature request. Knowing, for example when 2.0.70 and 2.1.105 were officially released (date) and the changelog (massaged for general consumption, if not raw) si what these are for and these press releases on the blog are not a replacement for technical info.

The ability to check the characters when setting/typing the password for shared link and account
When we're entering passwords of shared links and accounts, we want to check it by seeing the actual characters.
For example, this request has been achieved on the following page:
https://account.box.com/signup/n/personal
Is it possible for you to implement the same button in the account ligin page and the shared link setting window?

NetSuite integrations security enhancement.
Allow the creation of a folder in Box that is secured by box, but the record is attached to the transaction. For example, under bill payments adding a box folder that can hold the contract for that specific payment. Contracts have more confidential information that needs to be secured. Since security in NetSuite is best used as a group, not all who can see if a payment was made, should see the details of the contract. Therefore the select folder should allow more restrictive security, managed by box.
