Box Canvas user tags
We would like to turn off the user tag that follows their mouse movements in Canvas so that each person's usage and ideas can be unanimous.

Box Sign - Fields are tall and wide and need to be resized.
It's time consuming to have to resize the Signature field and Date field. The initial field is too tall for most signature spots and the Date fields are too wide. After a person signs, the signature box covers other words if not resized before. Could the default size of the fields be adjusted?

Rename "Content Accessed" event and improve documentation
The "Content Accessed" event in the Admin Report is a bit confusing as documented and labeled today. We had an incident where a folder was available to staff inappropriately and used the Admin Report to investigate those who accessed it. It was reasonable for us to believe that users who had a "Content Accessed" event meant that they had accessed the content in some meaningful way. Instead, it simply means that they viewed the metadata of the file in some way in the portal. That's useful information, but the label should probably be clearer about that -- perhaps "Viewed Metadata" or something like that would be more helpful. The documentation should also be clearer about what specific actions a user can take that would trigger this event.

Shield Blocked Email Addresses (Not only Domains)
As of right now it is not possible to block a specific user with the external collaboration access policy restriction. This is only applicable for blocking domains. This request is to be able to add a specific user to the blocked list by email address.

Create Folder For New User
Create Folder For New User
Within the old UI, an admin had the option to create a new folder while adding a new user. Within the new UI, they do not have this ability.

Update User Details Password Field
In the Admin Console, under User Details --> Password. " No password created" will show for every user if SSO is enabled for the enterprise. The logic should check the user setting instead of the enterprise setting, to reflect accounts that may not be a part of an organization's external directory.

Control Outbound Collaboration in Box Shield
Box shield collaboration policies only seem to apply to inbound collaboration (i.e. sharing from one's own tenant to an external account). We need the ability to have fine-grained controls on what invites a managed user can accept from external tenants.

Notification email format
Notifications should include file path or as much of the path the user receiving the notification is authorized for, not just file name and operation (download, upload new verion).

Add a captcha to the File Request module.
Add a captcha to the file request module especially when the module is available from the public. This will prevent file upload from spam.

Add a shared calendar feature within the platform.
My team has been using box for years. It is fantastic except for the lack of a shared calendar feature. It's very hard to understand why this hasn't been added yet. Users have been asking for it for YEARS, and it can't be much more complex than a box note.
We despise Google and are not all on Outlook, and I know our team is not alone in this. All we want is a simple shared calendar within the platform.

Metadata Instance Update - Remove when no value should not fail
When Updating a metadata instance to remove a value from a specific instance, currently today the API fails if the field has no value.
I would like to propose that if the field had a value it is removed, and if it doesn't - then just ignore the operation. Similar to what add does if the field already has a value, it just silently replaces it.
As an option, in case others are relying on the failure, maybe add a new operation "forceRemove" so that if there is no value, the code will just ignore it and continue with the other updates.

Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions
Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions.
When I change subfolder permissions to give someone higher permissions (e.g. Editor to Co-Owner), it changes the parent folder permissions too.
This makes sense that you wouldn't be able to give someone lower permissions in the subfolder than the parent folder, but makes no sense the other way around.

Applying Salesforce Data to a document (file) request that comes back as metadata on the document
It would be great if the Box Salesforce integration has a feature wherein it will allow metadata fields of Box files take on the data of fields from records (e.g. Account/Contact) in Salesforce. When the file is uploaded, it will have the associated metadata that relates back to the account.
Searching the community forums, I could not find any post related to this requirement (the only one that was similar was from 5 yrs back and has no responses .
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360049148314-Box-and-Salesforce-Integration and this forum has since been deprecated.And this link returns 'You're not authorized to access this page' https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/11339147547283-How-can-I-connect-context-rich-information-from-business-applications-to-files-in-Box-Metadata-
I had raised Case #2916584 and was asked to raise the idea in the Pulse forum. Please consider it for the future roadmap.
Cheers

Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files
Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:
1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing later (say once a day or once a week for instance).
2 - The version history pane is very slow to load. Some performance optimizations are needed for the large increase in versions.

Box Embed - prevent users from navigating outside the assigned folder
If a user is assigned to the following folders e.g. All Files > Cases > Case 1.
Currently, Box Embed Breadcrumbs allow users to navigate all the way up to the All Files.
We want the users to only be able to navigate only within Case 1 folder and not explore outside Case 1. This is useful to prevent users placing content outside Case 1 when embedded inside a case management application e.g. Appian, Salesforce, etc.
