Disable Folder Rename capability
I would like to have a Folder properties setting to disable Folder Rename (even for Editors).
I was testing setting up departmental folders to replicate our group file server. I want all members of the department to be able to add/remove/delete files in their folder. I was able to do that by assigning them the editor role, but that allows them to change the root level folder name. Is there a way to prevent that?
For instance, I create folders for accounting, finance, etc. I want those folders to keep the names I set and I do not want the…

Improve Iconography for Bookmarks
Currently, the Bookmarks Icon offers no distinction between a bookmark to another folder, file, or external site. Users are less likely to click on these bookmarks since the icon looks like a hyperlink instead of a folder.
Request:
(1) Allow user to identify if the bookmark is to another Box folder, File or External Site when creating it.
(2) Based on the user's selection, update the icons for bookmarks to look like a folder or file icon as opposed to a generic link/bookmark icon.5 votes -
Apply retention policy to all existing content
Currently with Governance, you have the ability to apply a retention policy to all new content. This policy does not touch any of the existing content within the domain. This is a large issue for an enterprise that wants to apply a single retention policy to the entire domain.

New Groups UI: Make Shared Folders Page Sortable
Currently the Edit Shared Folders page lists the folders in random order. Admins want the ability to sort by the main columns for groups that have high folder counts.
3 votesWe have made the text for long folder names wrap in the Edit Shared Folders view, so cut off folder names with a company or department prefix should no longer be a problem.
However, we have not made the folders name column on the page sortable and don’t currently have plans to make this sortable.

Attach files from Box mobile app and not Files app.
Since the introduction of the Files app, it is impossible to access Box from an email except through the Files app.
If you are telling me that, post-Files, it will be impossible to attach a document from Box to an existing email chain, so be it. But that is an impediment to using Box as our mobile document management system.
1 voteThank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

FTP not available to external users for Enterprise accounts.
Currently FTP for Box is only available to Business and Enterprise accounts for bulk migration of data. It is not available for Personal accounts (Free or Pro).
This is problematic for Enterprise users that have external vendors, partners, customers (collaborators) that need to upload a large data set to their Enterprise account through FTP.
Since these external collaborators are Free users, they do not have access to FTP but are still collaborating with us.
REQUEST: Add support for FTP uploads for external collaborators that are specifically collaborating with a paying Enterprise Box account?
8 votesThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.
