Add second step when creating Shared Link for a folder
When somebody clicks on share a folder through a link, it directly creates a link to the folder even if they close the tab and do not share it.
REQUEST: Include a second step to avoid the creation of links by mistake. A person ended up creating an open shared link hundreds of documents without saving or sharing the link

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.

Avoid signed document shared link expiration notifications on internal-only sign requests
Whenever a document sent via Box Sign is completed, all recipients receive an email containing a shared link to the document. This shared link expires 2 weeks later, generating a "this link is about to expire" for all of the same recipients. These notifications can be annoying, and moreover don't clearly state that it is a signed document link that is expiring (it is just a generic notification).
Our company often sends documents for signature between internal recipients only, who can always access their documents by logging into Box and finding them in the My Requests section (or in their…

'Email shared link' button, prominent in the UI like it used to be
Provide an 'Email shared link' button, prominent in the UI like it used to be
2 votesThanks for the feedback. Decluttering the top action bar and leaving the top user actions is one of the major goal of our new UI. Currently, you can click on the “Share” button for the file, and the “Email” icon within the share window.

Ability to see additional info from a shared link (file/folder owner, parent folder/location, etc.)
Oftentimes, users get access to a link that is shared with them via email, chat, etc.
If the owner or the file is deleted, moved, or transferred, there isn't an easy way to identify where the file lives and who owns it either from an end user or admin perspective.
Currently, we have to reach out to Box Support to look up the file ID or shared link to get this information.
1 voteThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

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.

I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder
I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.
When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Invited users only"Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Company users", "Invited users only"
3."Invited users only"If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

When multi-selecting folders, have the ability to invite users to the folders you selected
Multi-selecting folders is an amazing feature. We would like to add the capability to invite people to folders users have multi-selected.
