Always Show Show/Hide Option for Hiding Left Sidebar
The left sidebar in the new Web App auto-hides at smaller window size (due to responsive design), but some users would like the show/hide option for the left sidebar to always be shown (like the button already is for the right sidebar) to allow for increased space for the file list columns (Name, Modified, Size).
REQUEST: Always display the show/hide button for the left sidebar, regardless of the window size.
11 votesWe’re aware that the lack of space to show file and folder names is an issue. We’re working on addressing this in different ways.

Allow customization of webapp banner color, by providing admins with the option to choose a particular color for a classification level.
We want to be able to edit the color of the in-app classification banner. We classify the security level of content by color as a visual indicator.
4 votesThis is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Sorting: Fix the Incorrect Numerical Sort Order
The webapp currently handles number sorting in an odd (non-standard) way.
For example:
--For three file names beginning with: 1, 2, and 12
--The webapp would sort these as: 1, 12, 2
Which clearly isn't in the correct numerical order.Windows (and Finder) sort these correctly as: 1, 2, 12.
54 votesThis is the natural behavior for lexicographic sorting which treats everything as a string. We are unlikely to change this behavior in the near- or mid-term.

Create a group of previously created groups aka nested groups
We have a group of providers that we would like to make a larger super-group of the nested smaller groups instead of adding each individual user
21 votesAt this time, we are developing solutions for using groups to grant access to apps and enterprise settings. https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/36670615
Supporting nested groups may be a longer term vision that we consider after solving the first problem above.

If a user is invited through a collaboration link, the user is not redirected on the Terms page but has to click on messages and accept from there. Otherwise, she won't be able to access the folder.

Group Admins should be able to invite co-admins to groups
A group admins tried to add a user to the group as a member, but received the error message 'User does not have permission to edit users of this group'. The user he was trying to add was a Co-Admin for Box.
With this, if the Co-Admin has the administrative privilege to "Manage Groups" attributed to her, then she can go in and add herself to the group.
If not, the main Admin of the enterprise would have to add that Co-Admin to the group. This complicates the process of adding users to a group.
2 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap because there has not been enough demand from customers.
