  1. Make new files/folder immediately searchable. Remove latency.

    Make new files/folder immediately searchable. There is massive latency for new files/folders being searchable, which creates a very confusing and unpleasant end user experience.

    When a new file/folder is created, it is not immediately searchable. Please fix this.

  3. List View of Marked For Offline Files

    It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

  6. Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream

    Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

  7. Split screen in Box app on ipad

    The ability to split screen on iPad to simultaneously work on different documents in Box. This would enable the ability to compare files side by side the same way you would with 2 screens on PC.

  10. Add native search functionality to CSV or text files from within the web app

    The Box web app does not currently have native search functionality for CSV or text files. The browser find bar fails because the system hides information that's not visible.

    Can this functionality be added so that I'm not forced to re-download files to simply search them?

  13. Ability to configure Microsoft Teams Chat Files to exclude external user

    We would like to be able to set it so that external users are not invited to Microsoft Teams Chat Files.
    Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening in the chat settings on the Teams side.
    In addition, it is possible to invite external users on Box. 

    (In Japanese)
    Microsoft Teams Chat Filesに外部ユーザーが招待されないように設定できるようにしてほしい。
    現状ではTeamsのチャット設定で防くしかない上にBox上では外部ユーザーを招待できてしまうため。

  14. Provide the option of skipping files that have already previously been uploaded when loading a batch of files instead of creating "versions"

    When I select all the files in a directory and drop them to Box.com, I need the ability to tell the system to skip any files that are already there and only upload the ones that are new. Currently, the system repeatedly uploads identical files and keeps creating "versions" each time the directory gets updated. It doesn't have to be the default behavior, since I assume there are use cases where versioning makes sense. But it absolutely should be an option, since the default user experience is to be asked how duplicates should be handled and given the ability to…

  15. Custom color change setting on individual files

    Just a simple custom color setting on files would be excellent. The standard purple that Box uses to display the file type really clashes with our branding. We are using the embed widget and turned off the Box logo which is really helpful, but when the audio file plays it shows up purple and does not look custom at all.

    We would like to be able to open other file types (those not currently listed in the supported file types) as text files, so we don't have to download those files. We'd prefer not to have to download the files just to view them.

  18. Global ability to lock all files that are opened

    We want all files "locked" when opened so that any other user would be notified that the file is opened by another user and they can look in "read-only" view.

  19. Support preview of script files such as Powershell .ps1 and .psm files

    Preview fails on Box Web for Powershell scripts having a ps1 or other related extension.
    Ideally this would allow one to look at the current as well as prior versions of the file in Box Web without having to download each version separately.

  20. Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)

    The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.

    This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.

    Example columns to choose from:
    -Name
    -Size
    -Kind (File Type)
    -Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
    -Metadata (specific template/field)
    -Created Date
    -Updated/Modified Date
    -Description
    etc.
