Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movies
Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movie in Box
Currently, when users preview movie files( .mov) in Box web app, sevearal issues happens depending on the files
Unable to read the preview screen
The preview stops suddenly in the middle of the movie file and unable to start again.
According to the support ticket, the risk to happen the above is likely to increase when the movie file is relatively high quality/ high resolution. Actually the issues happen when we preview movie files which is 8 minute-long and 13 GB/file. So temporal workaround is to tune it and make…

Delete user without transferring content when using legal hold
【Background】
1. When "Legal Hold" is ON but no "Retention Policy" set
2. When I try to delete a user that is not related to the legal hold above, they need to transfer the content to another user.【Request】
Since it is a user that is not affected by the "Legal Hold", I would like to be able to use that user without transferring the content, which is the behaviour when there is no Governance setting.3 votes -
Push Notifications for @Mentions
Box push notifications on iOS are very limited currently and only send the user a push notification when...
- There's a comment added to a file and they're the most recent uploader
- They've been added to a folder
The most logical other push notification to add would be for @mentions which, in theory, would increase overall adoption of comments as well.

Allow Relay workflow steps to be reordered
Allow edits to re-order Relay steps after workflow is live.
For example, if there is a multi-step (5 person) approval needed on a document, and the team/individual who is currently set up to approve a document first now needs to be moved down to 2nd approver, it would be helpful to be able to reorder the steps without having to rebuild the workflow.
Thanks!

Collaboration List
Users show up twice in Collaboration list if they invite with the following steps. Steps 1.Folder A -> Folder B 2.User A is collaborated on Folder B. 3.User B then adds User A as a collaborator on Folder A. 4.User A shows up twice in collaboration list. We would like Box to show up once in the scenario because it isn't easy to find properly permission when inviting many collaborator.

Speed displayed in grid view
I would like to request an improvement so that even if it is displayed in the grid view, it will be previewed in a few seconds.
It takes time to find the desired image file in the grid view, which is inefficient.
For example, if you display a folder with a large number of files in the grid view, it will be previewed little by little every few files, and it took about 2 minutes to display 374 files.3 votes -
Increase maximum image size for branding a File Request to above 1 MB
Upload limit for Box File Request Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is way too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.

SharePoint Online - Direct/Native Integration
Currently, the only way to 'integrate' Box with SharePoint in a standard way is to manually use an HTML web part in SharePoint to add a Box Embed widget to a SharePoint page.
This request is for an enhanced (and truly 'native') integration between SharePoint and Box such that:
- NATIVE WEB PART/UI: A user can easily 'add Box' to a SharePoint site/page
- AUTO-FOLDER CREATION: A Box folder tree can automatically be associated with a SharePoint site/page (instead of a Document Library in SharePoint), similar to the Salesforce integration
- PERMISSIONS: Automatic permission mapping such that the auto-created Box folder hierarchy 'inherits'…

Set admin thresholds for mass deletes or mass moves
We would like the ability for admins to set some limits on mass deletes or moves, possibly 2 levels, one that needs a two stage confirmation by the user when it is between X and Y and then sends an alert to the admins informing them of the action.
Then a second limit between Y and Z that informs the user that admin needs to approve and sends an approval request to the admins.
The alerts was something Dropbox did, but the approvals adds a new dimension to improve our ability to avoid unnecessary recovery.

409
On a 409 Name Conflict exception, the response does not contain the ID of the group in conflict, requiring the use of another API call to get the ID of the group with that name. Typically we recommend trying to find the group first, if the group is likely to have been created, but in the instance it is not, then 2 calls are, once again, necessary.
We have also seen instances where the group name search is not returning a valid result, and the logic can never find, nor create the group, causing a critical failure in the logic.

Invite Collaborators Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Automatically Remove Collaborator on X Date' Field
Right now, auto-expiration for collaborators is only provided as an option from within the Admin Console.
REQUEST: Add a 'automatically remove this/these collaborator(s) on X date' checkbox to the Invite Collabs Pop-Up, with the default being to have it unchecked, of course.
We have API endpoints already to add an expiration to an individual collaboration (https://docs.box.com/v2.0/reference#edit-a-collaboration), meaning admins can do this on our own via API. We would like the same type of option/functionality natively in the webapp UI as well.
3 votesThank you for the detailed explanation! This is not planned for the short-term roadmap. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

Alternative Endpoints for API calls
In some regions, using the default endpoint box.com doesn't work or works really slowly. Therefore, box offers different endpoints for different regions. For China, this is (Box Alternate Domains redacted for privacy)
That's great!However, those endpoints can only be used within the box web app.
The only available box API to download a file is https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content/ respectively https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads/ to download multiple files as a zip, which generates a download URL starting with dl.boxcloud.com.
As a result, the generated download URL delivers very slow downloads or does not work at all in some regions of the world.Therefore, I request…

Auto sync of Email folders and attachments from Outlook in Box.
It would be nice to have two sync options to store data. 1) the current desktop system is fine and works well but ideally 2) you could have a synch to mirror Outlook email folders and attachments . In both cases the user should be allowed to select which folders would be sync'd. PLEASE HELP. !!! Our company is now moving emails over 6 months old into archive and anything over 1 year old is being deleted . Only way to save now is via box but that only helps for recreating folders on desktop and linking to box. Would…

When reverting to the previous version on box, V3 → V2 = V4. I would like to keep the version name as V2 instead of V4. Is it possible?

Aliases - Better Email Alias Management from Managed Users Page
Currently, email aliases for users are poorly exposed in the Users page of the Admin Console and we also provide poor alias management functions on the users tab too.
Key Gaps:
1. No ability to promote an alias to be primary directly from the Managed Users page (must use instant log in - which not all co-admins have - in order to make this change)
2. No ability to remove an alias from the Managed Users page5 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the performance and user interface to manage users before we add enhancements to manage email aliases.

Classification definition
Currently when classifying a document it is only possible to see the top 2-3 lines and is not rich text therefore doesn't support returns, bold type, links, bulleted lists or colour.
While the full 300 characters are displayed in the details pane, Users need to see all the details prior to applying the classification.REQUEST: To make the dropdown either expandable (i.e. 'show more') or to show the full 300 character classification definition and to make the definition field 'Rich Text' so its possible to give more context to the classification e.g. provide a list of example documents or link…

Folder Owner set download notification by selecting "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" 2. Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on…

Request for improvements to Box folders for Teams in Box for Teams V2
When using Box for Teams V2, we found that the auto-created folders for teams were heavy on operations.
I would appreciate it if you could add the following two functions.
1.When you delete a member from a team, you want to delete that member's collaboration from the team Box folder.
2.When the team itself is removed from Teams, remove all member collaborations from the team Box folder.1 vote -
More option for IP whitelisting
Currently, there are 2 options for IP whitelisting which are "webapp only" and "all endpoints". Is it possible to switch "API" as new option? I think "webapp only", "webapp+API", and "all endpoints" are enough options.
There are many enterprises using cloud-based IDP like Azure AD, Okta and Centrify which can implement Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning using Box API. When "all endpoints" is set, IdP's Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning fails because they use Box API. Some enterprises are choosing "all endpoint" in Japan for their security reason, so I would appreciate if you could consider this request seriously.

Add toggling of comment and annotation creation
Users want the ability to highlight text and copy-to-clipboard while in Preview mode.
Currently, clicking and dragging results in entering comment-generation mode.
The only workarounds:
1. Enter editing mode (but this may not be possible with all roles, and may risk making unintended changes)
2. View the document full-screen (this is not intuitive).Solution: add a one-click toggle, perhaps on the comment/annotation floating panel, that enables click-and-drag commenting OR disables it so highlight-and-copy can be used.
This also could be implemented in such a way as to fulfill the following request
