Linking NS records to existing Box folders located in NS integration folder
We would like to be able to link NS records to Box folders that are located in the NS integration folder. For example, we would like to store all of our opportunity content in a folder structure that rolls up to the customer. Knowing the default folder will be created underneath the opportunity structure, we'd like to link the opp record to a folder that "lives" in the customer folder structure.
We are currently not able to do this and continually get the error: The Box SuiteApp is not set as an owner or co-owner of this folder. Please add Box as an owner or co-owner and try again.

Alternative Endpoints for API calls
In some regions, using the default endpoint box.com doesn't work or works really slowly. Therefore, box offers different endpoints for different regions. For China, this is (Box Alternate Domains redacted for privacy)
That's great!However, those endpoints can only be used within the box web app.
The only available box API to download a file is https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content/ respectively https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads/ to download multiple files as a zip, which generates a download URL starting with dl.boxcloud.com.
As a result, the generated download URL delivers very slow downloads or does not work at all in some regions of the world.Therefore, I request that a possibility be added to select the target region when requesting the download URL. Depending on the region, the best endpoint would be coded into the URL. Alternatively, additional Endpoints with a reasonable download speed for the Asian region, especially China, should be available, for generating Download URLs via the API.

Provide the ability to have multiple brands under Box
We are a financing company that has a section of our business that operates under "Private Label Branding." This means we are the financing arm "acting" under the brand of our partners. Currently, how box operates provides a unique problem for us. If we want to utilize file sharing with the Private Label End-users, our actual company logo and information is what is seen while having them engage in either typical file sharing/collaboration, and while using the File Request link.
It would be great to have the ability use the colors, logos, etc of our Private Label customers while still operating under our normal account.

Improve UI for folder structure drop-downs
I find it visually confusing that the drop-down carat for my Folders is the same size, color, and thin-stroked icon as the "X" which deletes my folders. I can't tell you how many times I've inadvertently deleted a Favorite because my brain is expecting a 2nd drop-down menu. Some differentiation in color, size, position, treatment, etc. might help.

Support custom objects via the mobile Salesforce and Box integration.
The Box and Salesforce integration for Salesforce mobile does not support custom objects at all so we had to create a deep link workaround that redirects to the associated folder within the box mobile experience (this also requires some salesforce coding to populate a field with the corresponding folderID). This is not a seamless experience....it is a clunky redirect.
Also, you are not able to create the corresponding box folder for the first time from the mobile experience....you have to create the box folder from the desktop from within the box integration within salesforce first, before you are able to access it from mobile. This is mainly due to the the mobile box and salesforce integration not supporting custom objects out of the box.
The custom object set up for the web app is also not seamless and requires from VF and tricky setup.

Shared links still show Box's specific branding even after custom branding
We are a business user of Box. A critical feature for us is file previewing using Shared and Preview links. Even though we have used custom branding in Admin console -> Enterprise Settings, still the shared links show Box's specific branding e.g. Signin, Signup, blue color header bar prompting for signup, etc. This is a problem when we want to share docs to our customers using shared links.

Remove Box-branded Box Sync folder icon in MacOS Finder Sidebar
I just want a normal-looking, unbranded folder in my Finder Sidebar.
The current Finder Sidebar shows a rather ugly eye-sore of a logo in place of a plain folder icon, with no way to disable this customization so it pollutes every Finder window. I've tried pasting a new folder icon onto the Box Sync folder in the "Get Info" dialog box as is customary on MacOS for ALL other applications, but Box doesn't respect that icon (or the user's wishes).

"Show File Location" for Files Currently Uploading Through File Explorer/Finder
At this time, Box Drive only lists the File Name when checking the "Transfers" menu of synchronizing items. No indication is given as to where this syncing is taking place. The User is forced to memorize the location of an upload/download until it has completed.
I'm currently experiencing an issue where many large files (Gigabytes) are forever uploading after an unknown error restarts the upload upon completion. The only solution I've been given is to Log Out, thus deleting my Terabytes of Available Offline files. "UnsynchronizedFiles" in AppData proves to be unhelpful with certain errors.
Box Drive should allow the user to visit the location of the file being synced to the cloud. The file is stored on the local machine during upload, so this shouldn't have issues. The User would then have the flexibility of moving or deleting this file before the upload is complete, as well as avoid infinitely uploading loops that I'm currently part of (a form of self-problem solving further avoiding issues of clogging support lines). Every User would also be able to monitor files without descriptive naming conventions to other User that could be waiting on particular file uploads. For example, video files from a consumer camera are typically labelled by ascending numbers (PANA0243) without any identifiers to indicate where it's stored in the File Hierarchy.

Box Drive Security - Utilize MFA/ Enforce connection to specific network
For several reasons having our staff use Box Drive to access their files is the most helpful for our office. However it would be great if some additional security features could be added to Drive such as requiring the user be connected to specific network or utilize an MFA process. We currently have a vpn requirement setup to access the Box web app through our Okta service but this doesnt work as well with Drive since it caches the user credentials.
