Too many clicks to share files + see download activity!
I'm finding it inconvenient that, to share a link once it's uploaded in the web interface, I have to click "Create & Copy Shared Link", then click "Link settings", then click "Copy", then click "Save", then click the X to close the window. That's five clicks just to grab the direct link. It may not seem like much, but it adds up - and I could have sworn it was a faster, more efficient process in earlier versions of Box years ago.
Not only that, but the recent change to the layout of the web interface in terms of seeing if the file has been downloaded is also frustrating. The user has to click on the file, then click "See Details", then click X to go back again. Really, it would be a lot more ergonomic if that info came up automatically in the right hand column once the file was clicked on - so just one click to find out, rather than a total of three.
I mean, it's eight clicks all up to grab the link and then see if it's been downloaded. I can't be the only one who's noticed how un-streamlined this is. And the loss of the "Updates" summary to see which files are being downloaded and by whom is also a frustrating loss of functionality for a customer. Can't we restore the functionality we had in earlier versions of Box, given that we're still paying customers?

word comment email
We wanted Box to send an email notification to a specific collaborator when we comment in Word Online using Word's comment feature. It would be nice if the email includes the link to the comment in the Word Document.

Box Sign - Results of filled out fields populate into a CSV.
Results of Bulk Send, Ready Sign, and/or individual contracts populate into a CSV.
E.g. I fill out W9 fields [NAME], [Address], [Social Security #], etc., and these results populate into a CSV.

Select and Download Individual Files from Zip File Preview
The ability to Preview Folders within a zip file exists, however, you cannot click on individual files. It would be nice to be able to select the individual files from the zip file preview and then download the selected files.

More Fonts for Japanese
Currently there is only one font available when signing in Japanese.
It would be great if there are more font options in Japanese as well.12 votes -
Recent Box Notes design update - I need table width consistency, dislike the off-page scrolling
I use Box Notes quote a bit throughout every day and am really struggling with this new design update, especially to the tables formatting. I use a new table for each day's notes, and make a new file every month.
This design update has completely messed up the formatting of each table's size: some horizontally scroll off page, some truncate columns and cut words in half, and none are default to width of page. It's extremely disorienting and has set me back quite a few hours.

Make item selection of Content Explorer more kindly
Currently item selection of Content Explorer is difficult little, because only character area can be clicked.
I hope thumbnail area also can be clicked, so that item selection of Content Explorer can be more kindly.2 votes -
File Explorer Search Capabilities on Box Drive
Box Sync allowed for File Explorer searching. Box Drive does not.
This is a HUGE negative.
When will this be fixed?

Drag and drop files on Box Drive
I can't drag and drop to move a file as easily as on google drive
The all files folder should automatically expand when I plan to drop a file to move it to.1 vote -
Updated date and Uploaded date are not the same thing
We would like to be able to retain the file updated date or modified date during file upload. Right now the updated date is the date file was uploaded which is not really the updated date and time from the local machine.
This is very critical as updated date is very important to end users when migrating or uploading files to Box. Imaging thousands of files uploaded to Box all have the same uploaded date under Updated date column.
Thank you!

Ability to export file requests dashboard
With time, many file requests have been created. The file request dashboard is a welcome addition, however additional features would be needed so we can actually take actions:
- export all active file requests filtered by Box Group so that we can share that with champions for different departments to look into
- search/filter by user and folder name3 votes -
Box closes when close an app on windows web
When opening an app, the close button on the top right of the app page, closes the entire page and exit Box (e.g., if Document or excel sheet is opened from Box Drive).
It would be better if the close button, closes the app and falls back to the main Box drive page.1 vote -
Please add Password Protection as a FREE feature
It's just a disappointmet to have password protection of your files as a paid feature. For me it's a deal breaker...

Ability to add reminder notification function for folders and files
I want you to apply the remind notification function for folders and files
Currently Box Relay cannot send reminders for folders and files.
I want you to apply the function to send notifications with a custom date and interval for each folder and file.
With this function, it is possible to prevent oversight of work that has a deadline, and it is possible to carry out work efficiently.フォルダやファイルに対してのリマインド通知機能を適用して欲しい
現在BoxRelayではフォルダやファイルに対してリマインド通知を送信することができません。
フォルダ、ファイルごとにカスタムした日付と間隔で通知を送信する機能を適用して欲しいです。
この機能により期日のある作業の見落としを防ぐことが出来て、効率的に業務をおこなうことが可能となります。7 votes -

Box Drive - All files organization
Box Drive does not currently allow for organization of your All Files folder.
To reorganize or move folders on this screen, it actively moves the folders, which isn't always possible. Due to different staff members requiring access to only portions of each folder, we cannot bunch together certain folders that would otherwise belong together.
For the all files screen, Box should implement a way to label and organize folders for your own personal box, that does not affect where the files are located and how they are shared. There is a way to do this with the collections list on the side bar, but it is small and challenging to look at, and would be more effective if it was a full screen option.

Manage collections folder through sub-collections
I have too many Box folders shared with me and they all show up under "All Files". Collections is a good way to organize but I need to have a hierarchy/folder structure for Collections. Currently this can only be achieved through faking a folder structure through naming.
example
Project1
Project1-subproject1
Project1-subproject 2Being able to create sub collections would solve this.
Currently my Box account is a huge mess of shared folders.Cheers,
