Make it more obvious that there are multiple pages of documents
Lists of files and folders may continue onto more than one page. Make the "2 of 2" at the bottom of the list very large and explicitly add a "See more" label next to the pagination. It is far too easy to not notice that there is more than one page of files, which leads to quality isssues.

File uploads are extremely slow.
File uploads are extremely slow. For example, a group of 3 x 20Mb files might take an entire day to upload on a 5mb.s connection. This has happened in the past 3-4 weeks.
I found the root cause of it. I am in New Zealand and redirected to the Tokyo server, which is very very slow. I verified that this upload path is an issue thus:
Tried to upload a 20Mb file using browser (via Tokyo) - 2 hrs later the file was at 20% upload. Cancelled the upload.
Connected a VPN onto Los Angeles. Uploaded the same file (and…5 votes -
2 Factor Authentication
When a user is setting up 2 factor authentication, the message says it will replace your login settings. It needs to say explicity "Box settings", as it now leads you to believe it is replacing your authenticator app settings that is used for the employee's company login.

Create a new workflow, after the folder creation.
We want to create a new workflow, after the folder creation.
We are planning to have two types of flows, "Project folder creation flow" & "Approval flow(under the newly created folder)".
The "Project folder creation" is fine, but for "Approval flow" we need to create it each time after new project folder has created.
So it would be great if we can create the "Approval flow" after the project folder has created.Project folder creation
Trigger: Folder creation
Outcome: Copy the prepared folders underneath the folder which triggered the relay.
the prepared folders include "Review" and "Approved" folders.Approval flow…

Please add a customizable setting for the [administrator email address] section.
If a user tries to use an application that is not allowed by the tenant, the following error screen will appear.
Disabled by Administrator
This application cannot be used because it is not allowed by your Box administrator.
If you have questions, please contact your administrator at [administrator email address].
Typically, he/she is expected to contact the email address provided on this screen.
However, due to company operations, we do not accept inquiries at the email address listed on this screen.
This creates confusion because he/she sends an email and does not receive a response from the administrator.Therefore, we…

Larger capacity and limit for exporting legal hold content
Larger capacity and limit for exporting legal hold content
Currently, only two legal hold contents can be exported at a time, and the maximum export size is 4TB.
When there are many legal hold targets, the export setting needs to be repeated many times to download them, which takes a large amount of time.
Therefore, we would like you to revise the maximum number of targets and capacity.現在、リーガルホールドコンテンツのエクスポートは1度に2つまでしか対象を指定出来ず、かつ容量が4TBまでとなっております。
リーガルホールド対象が多いとダウンロードするために何度もエクスポート設定を繰り返す必要があり、時間が大量にかかります。
そのため、対象と容量の上限を見直しして欲しい。5 votes -
Document ID on Documents
We would love to be able to have the document ID either added to the document itself, say in the footer, or be added to the name of the document when opening.
That is pretty standard for most document management systems these days.
You will see documents named "12345 v2 Settlement Case" (where the v2 normally indicates the version of the document). It would be nice to be able to have this set at the user level so the user can decide if the doc ID and version are necessary for them.

Cleanup and Enhance the file/folder webhook events to cover all the happy paths (new file, new file version, restore previous version)
As a Box Application Developer I want to be able to receive a unique, webhook events for the following scenarios:
- User uploads new file (brand new binary object placed into a Box Folder) - Folder based event (exists: FILE.UPLOADED)
- User uploads a new file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_NEW.VERSION)
- User restores a previous file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_RESTORE.VERSION)
As the owner of an enterprise application that has deep integration in the BOX platform, it is surprising that I have no way to use the Webhooks to monitor files for new versions…

Add ability to get a user's collaborations via API
Since there is a function to get a list of invitations to the group, I want to provide the same to the users.
Like,
https://api.box.com/2.0/users/:user_id/collaborations4 votesWe don’t currently plan to provide such an API, however please leave a comment if you have more information about how this would be used. In the interim, you can identify all of a user’s collaborations by requesting items in the user’s root folder (id = 0) and filtering out those where the owned_by user is the current user. This would require an additional API call for each item to get the collaboration id, but if you are only interested in knowing which items re collaborated versus owned by the user, it may be sufficient for your purposes.

Unable to Retrieve Collaborator Email Address for a non-Registered Collaborator
From the Developer:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a collaboration to a folder with email, that not already registered in Box.com.
2) Create a request via Java SDK to get collaborations from this folder. Response like this will be returned:
{"totalcount":1,"entries":[
{"type":"collaboration",
"id":"987654321",
"createdby":{"type":"user","id":"23421234","name":"xxx","login":"xxx@xxx.xxx"},
"createdat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"modifiedat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"expiresat":null,
"status":"pending",
"accessibleby":null,
"role":"editor",
"acknowledgedat":null,
"item":{"type":"folder","id":"123456","sequenceid":"0","etag":"0","name":"FolderToCollaborate"}}
]}
'AccessibleBy' is null. So we don't receive an information about collaboration, for example email. But if user with this email registered in box, we receive information about it, like this:
...
"status":"accepted",
"accessible_by":{"type":"user","id":"1233445678","name":"Yyy .","login":"yyy@yyy.yyy"},
"role":"viewer", …8 votesThe accessible_by field now returns email addresses of unregistered collaborators.

Enhanced Locking User Experience / Show 'Would you like to lock?' Pop-Up After Clicking 'Open'
When I go to open a file from the webapp, I want Box to help me be a good collaborator, meaning prompt me with "would you like to lock this file while editing?" before the file actually opens (via Box Edit).
This isn't a request for a different lock/unlock flow with Box Edit -- it's a request for an enhanced experience between when a user clicks the 'open' button in the web app and when Box Edit actually kicks in.
ISSUE: Box's lock/unlock UX is very 'soft' right now, compared to SharePoint's and a traditional Windows file server. As such,…

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.

Regarding the display correction of "Inbox" in Box Notes
In Box Notes' "Inbox," the title, timestamp/last editor, and storage folder name are displayed for each item, but once the timestamp/last editor reaches the second line, the storage folder is hidden.
It is possible to access the destination folder by searching for the file name, but if there are multiple files with the same name, it may be difficult to distinguish them, which could result in lost time.
If the title is long, it will be displayed as "….." and you can check the full name by hovering the cursor over it, so I would like the timestamp/last editor to…5 votes -
NetSuite v2 - Ability to hide the integration folder from user in Box website like v1
In NetSuite Box bundle v1 there was an option to hide the NetSuite folder from users when they log into Box website. It would be good to have this same ability in v2 so files can only be accessed through NetSuite and not inside Box website just like v1.

Select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps

Cross-platform Box Drive with multiple accounts needed
I realize this has been asked for in the past, but dismissed without much explanation of why it is "not planned." I'm the admin of a Box enterprise account. Co-admins in our enterprise org require user-level file access to perform their job duties. While our corporate policy does permit employees to use their Box accounts for personal data, there are numerous issues with this:
1) I travel frequently, and need offline file access, from my computer and devices; can't do that if I have to log out and back in.
2) Box Drive on mobile devices is not particularly useful…6 votes
