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.

Hi, thank you for the feedback on how to improve Box. Unfortunately, OCR for images to capture data from images is not on our roadmap at at this time. However OCR for scanned PDFs is on our roadmap. Link to OCR for scanned PDFs idea: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/35984620-native-ocr-optical-character-recognition-support.

Ability to disable "user added another user to your folder as a collaborator" email notifications.
We've built an app that centers around adding users to folders owned by a service account. We had over 150k notifications in a single day, accounting for 80% of their email traffic to a single inbox for a brief period. We've have added a rule to block these incoming emails, but we are not satisfied with this solution and urgently request the ability to turn these off.

Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing
The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT
Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

Allow for file or folder name to wrap
Longer file or folder names do not display the whole name in the new UI.
We have specific naming conventions that are longer than the current character count.
The old web app allowed for wrapping. Please restore this functionality.

When attempting upload and storage is full, clarify error message to identify whose storage is full
Right now it says, "Uploading this will put you over your allocated space," even if uploading to a folder with another owner whose storage is the problem.

Autocomplete & search for Tags should not be case sensitive
Right now, Tags are case sensitive. Meaning if you have a tag like "Olive", and you start typing a search for "o", the "Olive" tag won't show up.

Add ability for the background process that Syncs Box and Salesforce Permissions to detect Box permission changes initiated from Box.
For example - If a user removes themselves as a collaborator on a folder in Box that is mapped to a SFDC object, this would remove their object access in Salesforce.

Slack: Show Preview of Box Files within Slack
Currently, the Box + Slack integration auto-unfurls Box shared links that are posted into a DM/Channel in slack.
The only Box file type that unfurls to a native (in-line) preview are image files (jpg, png, etc.).
Slack has a native preview for a video file uploaded directly in Slack, but no preview for the same file when shared via Box.
REQUEST: Add in the native (in-line) preview (that already exists for image files shared from Box) for many more common file types (Office files, PDFs, mp4s, etc.) -- possibly by leveraging the Box Preview API.
11 votesSlack native previews are planned for selected file types when shared from Box

Shared Link Stats after link disabled
Stats for the shared link persist after the link is removed. It would be valuable to know who has access that link even after you remove it from the file. Use case would be for audit purposes.
