Move or copy to multiple folders
I would like to be able to Move or Copy a group of files to multiple folders in one click. It seemed when you added the radio buttons, that might be possible to select multiple destinations. Alas no.

Set certain folders to default to searching only within that folder
As an example, we have a Knowledgeable folder. When users go to that folder and search, I want to confine search to just that folder by default (most users won't want to tick the box).

Add sender's email address to the "Mail All" collaborators functionality.
Currently when a notification is sent via email through "Mail All" collaborators function, it does not include an email to the person who created the notification. It would be beneficial to add the sender's email address to this notification process for documentation purposes and validation. When the creator does not receive the email, they are reliant on other parties to forward the notification, which is not efficient.

Ability to turn off comment function
There is no way to turn off the Comment feature as a default setting. When using a touchscreen laptop, every touch designed to navigate triggers the comment function. This requires manually turning off the Comment function on every single document when using the touchscreen, functionally eliminating using the touchscreen as a viable UI. PLEASE either allow the Comment function to be turned off, or default to Flagging when a laptop touchscreen is detected.

drag-and-drop upload for attachments of rich text format emails
It would be nice to be able to upload attachments also on the rich text emails to Box by "drag-and-drop" so that Box users can share items by more Intuitive operation.
So far it's possible to do that for attachments on the text format email, but I would appreciate further functional improvement.

Install Box Sync on PC using existing Box Sync folder
You have a published workaround here:
This only describes how to download the Box Sync data all over again. I do not have high-speed internet, so this would take weeks to do.
All I did was change out my storage drive. All of the Box Sync data was copied exactly, so all 50GB of data is still there. I just need to have it see that the files in the current folder are the same (you can use the filename, location, and file size). Syncing the file's timestamp with my PC would be a nice feature, as my PC is always the original.

Adding commas in tags
We'd like to be able to add comma's in tags we apply files. For example, we'd like to place a tag for "1,250" on a file. Right now if we try that, it will show up as two tags, "1" and "250".

Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution./ Boxプレビュー機能の解像度を高解像度に変更して欲しい。
Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution.
If you specify a magnification level that is sufficient to display the entire page and preview a file containing text, such as PDF or Word, the text resolution is low and the fonts displayed are difficult to read.
(In Japanese)

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.6 votes -
PDF Bookmarks
Please add back the ability to use built in PDF Bookmarks to the Box IOS App. This ability was present up until about 2 months ago now when apparently a library used to render PDF's was upgraded causing this ability to be lost.
This has been an important feature for us as our users access large 50+ page PDF documents on a regular basis. During a meeting when directed to access a specific page within the document and bookmarks still worked, a user could simply select the bookmark which would send them to the exact page needed. Now users must fumble with sliding pages repeatedly going from the agenda on page 1 to trying to find the exact page needed. This is cumbersome and a downgrade to what was possible before.

"Including Signature Fields in Text Representation to Enhance Search and Classification"
Include Box Signed text-based fields into the file's text representation
When a user enters information into a Signature field (e.g., title, name, SSN, address), that field is not included in the file's text representation. As a result, the following is not possible:
- Search Index is not updated with that information for that file
- Box Shield cannot auto-classify the file (example: if SSN is present, file is not classified)While challenging to do, as it requires positional context (e.g., it's not possible to know a SSN is a SSN unless it is in positional context to other fields), there may be other ways to do this, including adding these text fields as metadata to the file itself, and having Shield/Search/other services use that metadata.

Please add a new way to change the maximum cache size of Box Drive without having to make a personal registry change.
In Box Drive, as described in the link below, Modifying the maximum cache limit requires a registry change.
However, in many companies, end users do not have the skills or authority to modify the registry.We would like you to work on a way to achieve this other than by changing the registry when modifying the maximum cache limit.
■Technical Information for Box Drive Administrators
Modifying the maximum cache limit:

以下のリンクで説明されているように、キャッシュの最大制限を変更するにはレジストリの変更が必要です。
しかし、多くの企業では、エンドユーザーにはレジストリを変更するスキルや権限がありません。キャッシュの最大制限を変更時にレジストリを変更する以外の方法で実現できるように工夫していただきたいです。

Add fixed-width font options
Ticket # INC4849532 - Customer wants to use Box Notes to write documents that contain code-snippets and excerpts from logs. They would like to use a fixed-width font for these snippets, but Box Notes doesn't allow them to select font and there's no style for fixed-width.
The issue is the same as the one described in this forum post: https://community.box.com/t5/Web-App-Forum/Boxnote-fixed-width-font/td-p/31194
56 votesThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we are unable to prioritize this in our current roadmap, but will keep this in our radar.
