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 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.
(In Japanese)
アイテムがごみ箱に移動される前後の動きを確認する事も目的としている仕様かと考えられるが、
ごみ箱に移動したアイテムもレポート出力時に指定できるようしてほしい。現在はアイテム名を確実に把握している場合にごみ箱に移動されていると検索にかからない仕様になっており、
対象のフォルダとファイルの項目にてアイテム指定を行う事ができない。ごみ箱に移動されている場合でもレポート時に指定する事ができるようになれば、

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.
BOX上のファイルやフォルダの所有者、最終更新者についてです。所有者のアカウントを削除すると所有者は「以前のコラボレータ」表示になりますが、この表示に変更せず所有者名を残していただきたいです。日本ローカルな電子帳簿法対応で必要です。ご検討ください。

Home & End Keyboard Button Support
Hello,
The home & end buttons in box notes move the view to the beginning/end of the document, where the expectation precedent that other text editors have set is that the cursor moves to the beginning and end of the line.
If this is possible, it would be an amazing feature so that I can interoperate between my usual text editors (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc) and box notes without having to readjust my keyboarding habits.

Canvas integration into Zoom
Once canvas is available, there should be an integration into zoom so people can use Box Native canvases in Zoom, and the result should save automatically into Box.

Default Black ink for E-signatures in Box Sign – as required by The Crown
It is imperative for Police Services throughout the UK to use Black ink ONLY when signing signatures for lawful documentation. I understand that there may be a need for other businesses to use purple/blue/red ink, however, within the Police and throughout the judicial process, any other colour than black ink will be rejected, which will lead to increase time an Officer or Investigators spend on obtaining signatures and investigating crime. Therefore, we require black ink, at the very least to be the default colour for signees.

troublesome 'Saved' and 'What's New' button placement in Notes window
The 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons in the bottom right corner of the Notes window are frustrating in their placement. As I write in Notes, these two buttons constantly obscure my text so that I need to stop typing and hit return several times to 'raise' my text in the Notes document away from those buttons . . . only to (several lines later) find myself in the same situation: the text I'm typing is hidden by the 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons. Surely there's a better way to display these buttons without obscuring where we type. Thank you.

Ability to easily update metadata template
I have created and used a metadata template to comply with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Law, but it is complicated to input the metadata.

Mark file as safe across entire enterprise
We have a file stored in multiple (hundreds of) locations across our Box enterprise and it regularly gets falsely flagged as malicious. We mark it as safe each time, for each location. It would be nice if there was a way to mark the file as safe for ALL locations in our Box enterprise at once. The file is identical name, size, and hash in each location so marking it as safe once instead of hundreds of times would be very much appreciated.
