Anyone can upload file via shared link
I want that through the shared link anyone who gets that link can be not only viewer but also uploader. This would be very helpful for us when collecting data,pictures, files - anything.
It would be great to have option 1. viewer only option 2. viewer and uploader - that way we can choose if people can only view or view and upload.3 votes -
End to end encryption for storage and shared links
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is one of the most popular security trends lately, and if Box offered this functionality, it would be very popular, especially for audiences who have a strong affinity for privacy and cryptography.

Include HTTP Last-Modified / Current Version Header of Direct Link
When you as a web client access to the direct link to a file in Box, the HTTP server responds only
{...,
Date=Sat, 09 Jul 2022 02:53:40 GMT,
Expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT,
...},
which does not include "Last-Modified" information.- Could "Last-Modified" be provided in the future?
Could "X-Box-File-Version" or something like this be provided in the future?

Nested folders
With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:
Collections:
Project1-folder1
Project1-folder2
Project1-folder3
Project2-folder1
…I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.
Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive too.

User from universities have 2 email addresses, one they are not always aware of. They are not being re-directed to the SSO login page when they enter the alias instead of the email address on their box account causing confusion. Previously, they would have been redirected

Collaboration Whitelisting UI Enhancement (enable labels and filter/search)
When we have dozens of domains in the whiltelist for external collaboration, it is hard to manage.
We think that it needs some UI enhancements such as
1) enabling to add a label to each domain e.g. company name, descriptions, etc.
2) filter or search for the registered domains.2 votes -
Single page view option for Box for Android
In Box for Android - make single page fit to screen an option for previewing PDFs.
Currently there is either 2 page - which creates a lot of blank space on the top and bottom - or the thumbnail grid - which is good for navigating to a page but not helpful for review of a single page.

Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory
Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory. For example, this file has a parent folder that is named ".Rproj.user" which starts with a dot.

Collapsible folder tree/structure for Box Notes for Desktop
As mentioned in other feedback, right now only having "Recent", "Favorites", and "Inbox" as filters makes organizing and looking through notes difficult.
It would be interesting to either 1) integrate the user's folder tree in the Box Notes view or 2) have subfolders within "My Box Notes" show up as the structure.
May be related to PF-02982.

Empty (not delete) folder by Box Relay folder action
It would be great to have a relay folder action which empties a folder. Currently folder and files can only be deleted.
We use Box folders for mail-2-box actions, and very ofter users simply forget to remove a file from the folder. I want to achive a time-controlled trigger which empties the respective folders ever night. Many thanks.2 votes -
Passwordless Authentication
Authentication using security keys (passkeys/FIDO2) has been released. I think this is a very positive step forward.
Currently, the process requires entering your Box ID and password, followed by inputting a physical key. It would be great if security keys alone could enable passwordless authentication.For SMS or Authenticator app authentication,
requiring the sequence: ID input ⇒ OTP sent/entered ⇒ Box password input would also help counter dictionary-enhanced phishing (phishing aimed at understanding user password patterns, not necessarily targeting unauthorized Box logins).Additionally, using the Number Matching format for Authenticator app authentication offers higher phishing resistance and convenience compared to…

Additional versioning features
Additional features regarding the version history:
- The ability to manually update the version number of a document on initial upload. This would allow existing version numbers to match version numbers tracked in Box.
- The ability to add the version number tracked in Box to the file name when downloading documents. This would eliminate the need to manually update the version number in file names, which could be prone to error.
