Auto-sync sub folders
If you sync a main folder, every folder under it or created inside it should get synced. I shouldn't have to go back to box.com to see if someone added a folder to the main directory if I have it so that directory is synced.
So if I have main directory Projects and someone adds a folder called Peanuts, it should automatically sync the peanuts folder and all its contetns because I told box to sync everything in the Projects folder. I shouldn't have to search out new folders every day, it should automatically download them to my computer.

Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.
To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files…
128 votesWe will likely consider bookmark support in the future for Box Drive, but it’s not planned in the near-term.

Allow setting passwords on folders
Setting passwords on files is good, but we should be able to set passwords on folders (at any level of a folder structure). The ability to set passwords on folders should be limited to owners and co-owners.

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 -
Ordering Files and Folders in numerical order, rather than Folders first and then Files
Have the option to have an entire Folder listed by Name (ie, in numerical order) no matter the Folder/File. For example, not listing Folders first and then Files.

Enable different folders to sync on different PC's
I want to sync a different subset on folders on a different PC. It appears that is not possible. You can only select one set for syncing... and that's it.

Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders
Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.

Indefinite retention for top level, Finite retention for sub-folders
Ability to have an Indefinite retention policy as a top level folder and Finite retention policies on sub-folders. Sub folders should by default inherit from the parent, but if listed in another policy then the sub folder should be able to override the default
a. This would prevent having to have separate folder trees for Indefinite and Finite policies
b. The parent could be ‘Work in Progress’ and then just move to a sub folder…keeps the documents more logically organized by department

Lock Entire Folder (and all files and folders underneath)
Product Enhancement Request: In the same way that I can currently lock files, it would be great if I could lock things at the folder level and that lock would apply to all files and subfolders within the main folder.
46 votesThank you for the feedback! At this time, we cannot prioritize this request, but will keep this under consideration for future feature prioritization.

Ability to generate shared links with the same settings for multiple items in a folder
We would like the ability to multi-select content, generate shared link references to the content, and either have the result exported to a CSV file or into a table formatted Box Note with File Name and shared link URL.
We are looking to displace existing Wiki functionality in favor of Box

Group-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the Group level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults by Group. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a Group can generate Open Shared Links, invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated, even if users in that Group are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
19 votesFor now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.
Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.

Ability to restict folder view to only show folders the user owns
Allow ability to restrict folder view to ONLY those folders which the user owns. Either a separate view or something like a checkbox to enable/disable the restriction.
For example, a user is leaving the company and wants to transfer ownership of their folders to another user. There is no easy way to see what folders you own. With hundreds of folders it could take a long time to find the ones you know to transfer them.

Collaborations Report: Add Folder Filter
My customer would like to filter down to a specific parent folder and see a report on all collaborators on that root folder and all child folders below. Right now the Collaborations report shows ALL folders which takes a long time to run and requires filtering after the report is run. Ideally we could filter to the correct folder at the beginning.
188 votesWe've rolled this out in a recent release. Thank you for helping make Box better!
