display request for Try this API
In the API reference Try this API displays Response Headers and Response Body. It would be nice if it also displayed the request URL and maybe request headers and body depending on HTTP type.
Cheers...

Don't notify user when storage is only 70% full
Got this notification today "Yikes, your storage is almost full. Get unlimited storage and advanced business tools to securely safeguard all your personal data."
Went to my account details and saw I'm only 31Gb out of 50gb.

Add header and title to Box Note table feature
The customer would like to be able to fix certain parts of Box Notes to be visible at all times.
e.g header(row, column etc) of tables ,the title of sectionAs you fill in Box Notes, the page scrolls down naturally and then parts of Box Notes above become invisible whether they are a "header" or a "title" of table.
The customer wants these to be visible at all times even if you scroll down.An example would be like the "subject" part at the top of an email in Outlook, which is something that is always visible regardless of where you are in the email body itself.
Since the customer is using Box Notes grid function in Box Notes as more like an administraton table rather than just for memos, they think adding this feature would make their use of Box Notes easier and convenient to use.

disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled
We would like a Function to disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled in the "Privacy" folder settings.
We want this because If you invite multiple external collaborators, we don't want external people to detect who you are inviting.
There is a function to hide collaborators, but if invited external users use comments, tasks, version history, it will be possible to see who is invited, so we would like to disable these functions as well.

Change order of the buttons in web interface
Putting the "Trash" and "Download" buttons right next to each other in the web interface is a recipe for disaster. About 5 times a day I accidentally click trash instead of download.

Thumbnail previews of documents should show file type: docx vs pdf
The new BOX.Com format no longer shows Word Docs with a Symbol vs PDF with
a different symbol.i.e. they have removed the prior, very visual, cues as to document type.
We can still see EXCEL symbol, but hopefully that will not be lostThis is a problem for us since we have many documents with long names, and
can't always see the final extension
Not to mention visual cues are exceedingly useful and helpful.8 votes -
Retention policy should be able to remove folders in addition to files.
Currently the governance retention policy only delete files. We are using the integration with Oracle NetSuite and as such we have a folder that then gets a folder setup for each Case as we are sending and/or receiving data from customers via the Case we have with them. The policy is set to get data for 30 days. The files are getting removed, however, the folders still exist. This makes it challenging when you look from the Box web interface. It would be nice to have the ability to set folders to remove if they are empty.

If I use Box Drive，my computer's local Recycle is not available ?
Whenever a file is deleted from my computer's local Box Drive, it doesn't go in the trash itself. I am not able to see the file in my computer's local trash, it has synched to Box Driver in the first place.

Easy way for co-owners to see the deletion operations of collaborators in a co-owned folder.
Currently, only the owner of the item and the user who deleted the item can see the deleted item from the Recycle Bin.
Users with co-owner rights will not be able to see/restore deleted items in folders that they co-own.
Co-owners are not authorised to output reports.In some cases, tenants who are managed by closed folders ask co-owners to manage the folders.
One of the key roles of the co-owners is likely to be to ensure that necessary items are not deleted by the collaborator.
We want an easy way for co-owners to see the deletion operations of collaborators in a co-owned folder.Please allows items deleted from a co-owned folder to appear in the co-owner's recycle bin.
This feature would be more useful if the administrator could switch it on and off from the admin console.現在、ごみ箱から削除されたアイテムを見ることができるのは、アイテムの所有者とそのアイテムを削除したユーザーのみです。
共同所有者権限を持つユーザーは、共同所有しているフォルダ内の削除されたアイテムを見たり、復元したりすることはできません。
共同所有者はレポートを出力する権限はありません。クローズドフォルダで管理されているテナントでは、共同所有者にフォルダの管理を依頼することがあります。
共同所有者の重要な役割の一つは、必要なアイテムが共同作業者によって削除されていないことを確認することであると考えます。
共同有者が共同所有しているフォルダ内のコラボレータの削除操作を簡単に確認できるようにしたい。共同所有しているフォルダから削除されたアイテムが共同所有者のごみ箱に表示されるようにしてください。
この機能は、管理者が管理コンソールからオン/オフを切り替えられるようになれば、より便利になると思います。Currently, only the owner of the item and the user who deleted the item can see the deleted item from the Recycle Bin.

Nested folders
With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:
Collections:
Project1-folder1
Project1-folder2
Project1-folder3
Project2-folder1
…I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.
Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive too.

Unable to see external items via API
Currently the API works differently than the UI. in the UI a user can see files/folders that were shared with them from an external (to the org) account, however, when trying to query for the visible items via the API these do not show.
In addition - if you try to get the details of specific items shared by an external user you get an error when using the API, which is unfortunate since this causes 2 classes of behavior that are inconsistent between the UI and the API.1 vote -
restrict by file type at folder level
Would like the ability to restrict File Types at the folder level, (with Waterfall rule would be ok, but ability to break waterfall would be a bonus).
Currently we use Quarantine Policies to restrict .msg files in Box, but does not allow us to make exceptions by folder. (eg. to allow certain departments this ability, but block from others).3 votes -
Support the SheetView when using Excel Online by Box Edit
When filtering an excel file on Box by Excel Online, the filter does reflect to the other users. We would like an option to have the independent filter between users. For Microsoft environment, the Sheet View is now generally available so we want the same functionality on Box as well.

Visible Folder Tree Setting
Problem: users often have files/folders shared with them by collaborators, and the titles of these folders can be the same - e.g. 3 folders all named "Photos." Without clicking into these folder, you don't have context as to who owns it/where it came from.
Request: Allow folder owners to decide if they will allow folder tree visibility on their collaborated folders. This would provide context without giving direct access to content they should've have access to.
e.g. They can add Folder Visible on an upstream folder and they would see the folder but no content until they get to the folder downstream where they have a permission that allows access to content.Problem: users often have files/folders shared with them by collaborators, and the titles of these folders can be the same - e.g. 3 folders all named "Photos."
