2FA - Option to select SMS or Email as opposed to both
Hi all,
We would like to have the option to select SMS as a 2FA method without having to have email as an option.
Back in April last year Box introduced the option to have email as a 2FA Method. Unfortunately we can’t have Authenticator app and SMS but no email as a setting. Either it’s Authenticator app only or we have to enable emails too.
On productions we go for the Authenticator app as that’s the most secure option, but one of our subsidiaries would like to give the option for SMS too.
Enabling emails is a major security risk. If an email account gets compromised and the user set their email as their 2FA method than the attacker can get access to the Box content too.

Allow Document Date in the Home Page Column name and to sort in chronological order
The ability to add the document date and sort by this will be so helpful. Currently I am naming all documents to include the date to allow to sort chronologically. This feature will be great especially to ensure order of documents and their relevance.

Document Relationships
It would be great if document relationships can be created. E.g Email and their corresponding attachments. Saving Primary document and being able to relate two or more others as linked.
Document relationships will help to avoid needing to make folders to keep related documents together.1 vote -
Migration of files larger than 10MB from Google Drive
As it stands, we are unable to migrate content from Google Drive due with there being a HARD limit of 10MB as the max file size.
Google have a workaround which is outlined here - (1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55274737/is-there-any-way-download-bigger-than-10mb-documents-using-google-drive-api#:~:text=1-,This%20is%20answered,-in%20this%20question and here (2) https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/getThis would mean changing the Shuttle tooling so that Instead of using the Drive API Files:Export method, you can use Files: get (2) with fields = exportLinks.
3 votesThe limit on exporting Google files larger than 10MB is imposed by Google. We have reviewed the various available APIs and workarounds, but none of them produced a viable result. They all have other limitations that make them unsuitable for migration.
We will continue to monitor as Google continues to evolve and adapt its platform, and will look to increase this when or if it becomes viable.

Private annotations
It would be helpful for us to have annotations that are private to the user writing them, rather than being shared with everyone else. This should be a setting an admin would be able to force on a folder so that users can't mistakenly create public annotations.

Increase metadata field API limit from 3 fields to 5+ or more
Currently, when searching for content using the API, you aren't able to receive results for more than 3 specified metadata fields in the query. If you search for content with fields A, B, C, D, you will only see results for A, B, C. This scale limitation impacts organizations that heavily rely on metadata for use cases at scale.

Enhanced Lock/Unlock on Box Drive for CAD files
I hope the Enhanced lock/unlock experience, which is currently only available for Office files, be made available for CAD files and others as well.

Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Collaboration Level to Navigate File Structure
We need a collaboration level that only allows the ability to view file and folder names but can't preview, download, or upload anything. This would allow a user to be added at the top level with this permission and navigate the file structure until they see the one they're assigned to. If you only share the subfolders, then your All Files navigation fills up fast with unconnected folders and names that may not be easy to identify what that folder contains.

Add a specific provisioning setting for Shuttle
Currently, Box Shuttle relies on pre-existing Co-Admin permissions in order to grant Co-Admins access. However, after a certain amount of TBs have been migrated, any further migration could incur a large cost to a customer. Since this can heavily impact customer spend and have affects on project timelines and prioritizations, Administrators should be able to grant specific access to only Co-Admins that need and are approved to use this tool.

Show a warning message when users attempt to upload folders in a File Request
Frequently we have users attempt to upload folders to use using the file request drag & drop zone feature.
Box does not support the uploading of folders, however it allows users to drag folders into the drag/drop zone.
This gives the appearance that folders are supported, even though they are not. Then when users hit upload they must wait a long time before encountering an error that their upload failed, and it does not tell them why.
Solution: when a user drags a folder into the file request drop zone, immediately show a message that says "Warning: Uploading folders is not supported."
Here is a screenshot of what I'm referring to:

”Priority" lock feature (There is no way to open an Office file that is being edited online in Box Edit.)
Currently, if a user has a file open in OfficeOnline, that file cannot be opened in Box Edit.
If I want to perform operations that are only possible in the local Excel application (e.g. sheet or macro operations) and a colleague comes home while editing in Online, my work comes to a halt.Can you please implement a priority lock function that works as follows.
1. click "Priority Lock" on a file that someone is editing online.
2. Only the latest version of the target file is copied to the same folder as a separate file with "(1)". After that, the result of Online editing will be overwritten by the file with "(1)".
3. The file is locked (normal lock) so that only the user who clicked "Priority Lock" can open the file in Box Edit.
4. the results of edits made via Box Edit will be overwritten in the original file.
5. when a user who was editing online resumes or exits online editing, a dialog box will appear informing the user that the file has been saved as a separate file because a user performed the "priority lock" operation.I think this method could be implemented by adding functionality on the Box side, not by changing the functionality on the OfficeOnline side.

Sort Field Preference in Settings
My files and folders are all indexed with numbers. It would be helpful to always sort files and folders by name to keep the indexing order. However, Box keeps sorting by the "Updated" field, which completely messes up the indexing order. Is it possible to have a Sort Preferences in Settings so one could select which field should be the default for sorting?
Thanks.

Make an option to turn off the warning "Confirm Removal From This Mac"
I drag-and-drop files onto Box all day long, and every file I move I get the warning "Confirm Removal From This Mac". It would be nice to have the option to turn this warning off.

View in Box Drive from Box.com
Our team primarily uses Box Drive. When we send Box.com links around, it is very cumbersome to then have to navigate to the file in Box Drive if you need to use Box Drive to access it.
A button should be added to the web version of Box.com to "View in Box Drive" which would then launch the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) location of that file in Box Drive.
