Specify box drive location and cache location
Enable the option for users to specify Box Drive location.
Changing it in the registry is way too advanced for most users and easily fixable with a build-in feature.
Enable the ability to specify Cache location is also a must-have.
Files flooding my C: drive is annoying to say the least, espacially when working with big files.6 votes -
"Recents" feature - Feedback
There is a box notification above "Updates" page that states the following:
"Box has decided to end of life (EOL) the Updates feature on August 31, 2022. As an alternative to Updates, please use Recents to access content you have recently interacted with."As "Recents" feature does not offer any information about other users' interaction in shared files and folders (comments, uploads, views, etc) and, additionally, the notification system does not work for most of these instances (comments without tagging, uploading, etc) or does not work well enough (many times there is no notification or it is well delayed), this EOL decision will render group working on box shared files literally unbearable...
Please reconsider or at least make more options for notifications, such that there is no loss of functionality.

Need Permission level between Viewer/Uploader and Editor
Viewer/Uploader is good, but, not good enough for all use cases; and Editor is too much--especially for external collaborators.
External collaborators need to be able to fix problems they accidentally create (e.g. uploading the wrong file) or wanting to change the name of a folder when they realize that the current name may be confusing (who hasn't done that?).
I agree with others' comments that there needs to be a permissions level between Viewer/Uploader and Editor. I can see at least four possible solutions:
1) Allow collaborators to rename a folder/file. This could help with the accidental upload as well since they could add some text to the file/folder name to reflect that it needs to be discarded (e.g., _DISCARD) to make it obvious for clean up later. This adds more maintenance on the editor, but, would be better than nothing.
2) Allow the ability to 'Move' (not delete) a file/folder (say, into an Archived or Discarded folder where external collaborators can move folders/files they created in error.
3) Allow them to mark something as 'discard' (maybe a toggle) that automatically sorts them to the top or bottom for maintenance; or, could automatically put these files/folders into a secondary folder, called DISCARDED (similar to DELETE, but, the editor would have to actually delete them from the DISCARDED folder (or they can auto delete at some timeframe). At least they'd be out of the way and the editor can easily look in there to see what is there. It would prevent accidental deletions as external collaborators should be able to recover items from the DISCARDED folder.
4) Give the admins the ability to create a customized role where they can add capabilities beginning with some permission level. For example, I can start with Viewer/Uploader and create Viewer/Uploader Plus, which has all the Viewer/Uploader permissions PLUS what you want to add, in my case, Move and/or Rename files/folders.
Basically, Viewer/Uploader is good, but, not enough for all use cases. And, Editor is WAY too much--especially for external collaborators.
Thank you for considering!

Logging in to Box from a shared link should not redirect to home
With the current iteration of Box, when you follow a shared link while not logged in, the only way to log in is to click "Go to My Account" which directs you to your home page on your Box Account. This requires re-following the link again to get to the shared item as a logged in user. This adds several additional clicks to the simple task of following a shared link from an internal email regarding new comments on an item, for example.
This was not the case in the past, where there was a "Log In to My Account" button that would log you in and redirect back to the page you were on previously. I'm not sure why that functionality was changed to this far inferior version. I am unable to think up a use case where a user is on any page on Box while not logged in and would want to log in only to be directed to the home page rather than the page they were on which required them to log in in the first place.

Shortcut for creating code block
It would be a great improvement to be able to create the code blocks while typing with keyboard shortcuts (or short-words). Quite standard across editors is for example the triple backtick (```).
I see it already works for numbered lists (you just need to type "1. ") or quote by typing "> ".1 vote -

Ability to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications
We would like to be able to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications.
We want to be able to easily check which file the notification is for when the user who received the notification receives the notification email.

Ability to specify items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the user activity report.
It seems that the specification is also intended to check the movement of items before and after they are moved to the recycle bin, but I would like you to be able to specify the items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the report.
Currently, it is a specification that can not be searched if it is moved to the trash box when the item name is surely grasped.
Items cannot be specified in the target folder and file items.If it can be specified at the time of reporting even if it has been moved to the recycle bin, it will be an effective clue when conducting a survey.

The version log on the right should make document type immediately evident
When version history is displayed on the right, no indication of version type (docx or pdf) is given, other than the file size, from which an inference might be made. I told my co-workers I'm a "version nazi"--that is, I'm against starting a new Box document when we've finalized a Word document as a PDF. I want them to stack the PDF version(s) right on the old versions so that ALL versions of a specific document--whether docx or pdf--are in the same Box document. But to make this more palatable, it would help if a user could readily see file types for each version. A screen shot would help, but I can't see a way to add one.

Reporting on use of metadata
Add the possibility to report on the use of metadata: the current report indicates if metadata has been modified or added, but not the name of the concerned metadata. So for the moment we don't know if a metadata is used or not (and if not used, we could delete it).

Display actual user name instead of "Previous Collaborators"
About the owner and last updater of files and folders on BOX. If you delete the owner's account, the owner will be displayed as "Previous Collaborators", but I would like you to leave the owner name without changing to this display. It is necessary to comply with the Japanese local electronic bookkeeping law. Please consider.
