External User Box Access Workflow
We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"
Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.
There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.

Version number in Legal Holds Report
Legal Holds Report includes "File Version ID", but this value is like "109680448118".
We have to call APIs to get the actual version number. It's more useful to include "sequence_id" in Legal Holds Report.

Customize 'Get Training' Link in '?' Menu
Currently the '?' menu in the webapp header includes a few links, including the following blurb: "Need more help? Visit our Help Center or Get Training"
'Help Center' by default links to the Box Community site (community.box.com), but we allow admins to override this link via the 'Support Site URL' field in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Custom Setup.
'Get Training' is also linked in the blurb above (linking to training.box.com), but we currently do NOT allow admins to customize this URL.
This is problematic for some customers (especially large customers) that have fully staffed internal training teams that…

Periodic replication of Sandbox environment with Production settings/folder structure
As we become more complex with usage of Box, we maintain Sandbox environments and are using it to test Governance Policies, integrations, and more.
Other SaaS providers (e.g., Workday) will push a replication of Configuration Settings (with an option for the customer to not replicate) from the Production to Sandbox environment. This helps keep the two in sync.
It would also be enormously beneficial if the folder structure and dummy users (not content) could be replicated into the sandbox environment for a better sense of how changes will affect Production.
11 votesThis is currently on our roadmap, however we appreciate the value of this request and will update this ticket if there are material developments to this end.

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Default new collaborators to Viewer (or any level) rather than Editor.
If they want the Collaborator to be an Editor, the inviter needs to physically make that change from a dropdown when inviting.

Convert Email Attachment to Box Link when forwarding email
When a file (not in Box) is received by email, the user would like to forward it along as a Box link, rather than a file itself.
It is cumbersome to download the attachment, then upload it to Box, generate a link, and forward the email with the newly generated link.
Ideally, I would like a button in the email app (Outlook or Gmail) that allows me to forward email and convert attachment(s) to shared links.
3 votesThank you for the suggestion! We will monitor this request for additional demand. For now, it is not planned.

Enhanced Locking Experience on Sync (mimic file server experience) - Auto-Lock & Unlock
Adapt the Box Sync / Box for Desktop lock/unlock experience to mimic the standard locking UX that users are familiar with from Windows file servers.

-Pop-up upon double-clicking a file to ask user if they'd like to check out (lock) a file or open a read-only version
-Auto-unlock upon closing the file28 votesWe currently do not have any new features planned for Box Sync. This is something that is under consideration for Box Drive. Please see that request here: https://pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/35983087/.

Notes Desktop App - Allow Multiple Windows
Users may want to have multiple Notes open at the same time. Request is to allow a user to 'double click' a note in the list on the left sidebar to open it in its own window (exactly the same UX that the native Mac Notes app already has).

Ability to send multiple shared links and change the default access setting.
My company has default settings for shared links set to "people in your company". When users want to send multiple shared links to clients they aren't able to do this in bulk because the default is "people in your company" and they aren't able to change this.
Of course they can get the individual shared links and change the setting to share it, but it would be easier if they could select everything they need and send that one email.
