Force removal of local copy of item which has been sync'ed
One of our common workflows on Dropbox was
- Move large file to the (Dropbox, now Box) folder
- Wait for (Dropbox, now Box) to upload that content to the cloud storage
- Right-click on the file and select an option to force it to "Online Only" mode, which would remove the local copy, freeing up the disk space
It seems that there is no way to do that last bit with Box Drive, and there absolutely should be. For many folks, the premise of cloud storage is "get this off my local disk", and waiting until some random cache times out days…

Quota Notifications for End Users
I would like a way to set up different thresholds where a user can be notified that they are getting close to exceeding their quota limit. Give me the option to allow notifications at 95% and 99% and then every time they have hit their quota limit when they are someone else adds files to something that they own. I would also like to see warnings added for collaborators when they add files to another person's shares that indicate that they have hit a quota limit for the owner of the folder and give them a warning that they…

Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)
[Background and Problem]
A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.Below are our feature improvement requests.
Multi-line Input Support
We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.Increased Character Limit…

Additional control over Account Lockout
When a user exceeds the failed login amount threshold, it would be very helpful for there to be an account lockout triggered along with the notification email that would not require an admin to manually set the account to inactive.

Add notifications to Box for EMM
In the Box Web browser, I can confirm that the new mention is on the left side menu "notifications" with red ● when new notifications appear. We'd like to have those notifications within Box for EMM too.

Worflow Starter should be the assigner of tasks instead of the creator/owner of Relay Workflow.
A relay workflow is created by one owner but used by several people. Since all the tasks are assigned by the workflow owner rather than the workflow starter, its confusing for assignees. E-mail and task notifications should show the workflow starter's name instead of the owner of workflow.

Ability to turn off all suggestion notifications
give me an option to turn off all suggestions for feature exploration. I'm only here to access files and do not care about whatever features are available; making me click 'maybe another time' rather than providing a 'i never want to see a notification like this ever again' option big thumbs down.

GET RID OF PAGINATION!
We constantly have people unable to find files on Box because they're located on the second (or later) pages in the folder.
It's completely pointless and an unusual user experience for online file storage.

Real time alert if user accesses Box from a new location/device
Currently we get a Daily Login Activity report. This is a daily report and most important piece of information on it is report of new logins with information like user, device, time, and IP address..
Unfortunately this is daily and can only be on or off.
Requesting the ability to enable real time notification instead of the daily.
As it relates to security, immediate notification is critical for unauthorized access.2 votes -

Ability to Disable or Choose email Notification when Inviting Collaborators
We would like to have the option to email or not email a collaborator when sharing a content in Box. Example use case is when cleaning up Box permissions (group vs individual) and the Admin needs to do that seamlessly without bombarding he whole organization with Box invites to files/folders hey already have access to. Specially required for Internal collaborators.
Providing access permissions does not always require an invite given the way Box works, the internal user will simply see the content when they access their Box Drive or he portal.1 vote -
@'ing box groups in comments
Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.38 votesThank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）
When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.
(in Japanese)
BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。
これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。1 vote -

Add a BOX datastore to allow native search on Windows
Box can only be searched with the box search window, ctrl+shift+alt+b which is a workflow downgrade because it is not possible to search in a file browser and also it is much slower.
The solution is to provide Windows with a BOX data store and send notification to the indexer when files are synced or changed, then search service will take care of everything for you and we win!
The benefit of this method is that you have full control over what you feed the indexer so there is no security risk. For example you can let only filenames for…8 votes
