"Improve 'Link Unavailable' Page with Login Prompt for Users with Access"
User believes that current 'shared link has been removed or is unavailable to you' page could be confusing to users that have access but are not logged in, and that the messaging should include a prompt to log in if user believes they have reached the page in error.

Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task
When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.
The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.
Our use case is this:
Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
Finance Director and CFO approve the task.
Internal auditor then leaves the company
Internal auditor's account is deleted so enterprise does not incur cost associated with an account that no longer exists.
When external auditors come in to check that content has been reviewed and signed off against, the tasks were deleted from the documents.
Organization gets penalized for not reviewing content.Preferred workflow:
Internal auditor leaves the company
Internal auditor's account is deleted
External auditor comes in to ensure content has been reviewed and signed off against
Content has the approval task still in it (although the "previous user" tag is listed as the originator of the task)Again - tasks live with the DOCUMENT not with the USER.

Warning/Prompt before deleting items in Box Drive
This is to avoid users accidentally deleting content in Box Drive. Users sometimes delete items unintentionally and it's too late for them when they receive email notifications.

Auto-notify collaborators when a file is uploaded to a folder
The folder owner should be able to create an email notification for all subscribers to the folder to receive a notification when a new file is uploaded to Box.
The email would be sent to the user's email on file for that Box folder. The user would not have to update his/her own settings. The folder owner would set notifications, and the user would have to turn them off if too frequent.
The scenario is that a shared Box folder with <10 users. The users are generally infrequent users of Box, so do not proactively check on the folder frequently. A push notification (email) that something is updated will help an Admin significantly to manage the project and ensure that everyone knows the new data was uploaded.
Thank you.

Make collections have the ability to playlist sequence a song list. The web client is missing any ability to playlist songs.
On the web app, we're missing any way to playlist and sequence a song list. The iphone app does this automatically with folders, but we need this feature on the web app! The collections would be the perfect place to be able to do this!

Fix the display of "More Options" menus from file lists
Clicking the "..." (More Options) menu popup from a file list often results in a truncated menu being displayed, rendering several options unreachable. I should not have to load a preview of a file in order to upload a new version. This is a UI defect.

Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.
I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

Support infix (middle of the word) matching such as %ox%.
It would be more efficient if infix matching is available for at least metadata search, or even just metadata search and folder/file name search.

new tab opens for link destination
It would be nice to be shown link destination in a new tab or window (w/o right clicking function) when clicking on URLs/hyperlinks for comments, search results etc. on Box.
Jumping to link destinations in the same windows makes me unhappy cause I have to re-open original site each time.5 votes -
Allow deleted Collection items to be restored or undo option
Today if you click the dropdown for a collection, it is easy to unintentionally click the delete button for a collection item based on the above collection still loading. If an item is unintentionally deleted from a collection, the end user should have the ability to restore the deleted item so it is not permanently lost.

Integrate Box Notes with RingCentral so that I can dial directly from Box Notes. This feature is already available in Google Docs, etc.
Integrate Box Notes with RingCentral so that I can dial directly from Box Notes. This feature is already available in Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.
I prefer Google Docs/Sheets over Box Notes because of this functionality.
Adding this functionality would be a huge value add.

Launch Zoom inside of Box
Launch a Zoom video from directly inside of Box web UI, Box Notes, etc.
The same way that you can launch a Google Meet video conference directly inside of Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.

Box Capture App needs a back button
Better navigation through the Box Capture app would be great. Since there is no BACK button, there is no way to easily navigate through the application which is a great. Having this option would make it easy to toggle back and forth between sub-folders and help speed up uploading information to their corresponding folders - Henry

Ability to close the black box at bottom of documents containing zoom features, pages and other editing tools
A black box appears on the pdf documents we use.
It contains zoom features, pages and other editing tools.
Unfortuantely, it blocks important client info on our documents.
Many times you can't get it to disappear.
Would like a function where you could close the box on command, and then refresh if you want it back.2 votes
