Want to be able to add file request to folders via Zapier
Now you have a dedicated File Request API, it'd be great if I could add File Requests to folders via Zapier (which I use to automate the creation of folders). And then also to get back the File Request URL so can make that part of my workflow.
At a very minimum, you should be able to export a list of all folders and their associated File Request links so that I do not have to copy each one individually after bulk creating folders and bulk adding a File Request to each!

ACCESS MULTIPLE WORKSPACES ON BOX DESKTOP DRIVE
Hi,
I run a small agency and more clients are asking me to work directly in their Box server. The problem is that I can't log into several different Box workspaces on the Desktop App (like you can in Slack for example). Please help! I may have to go back to Dropbox for this reason.

Managing Groups
■Request
For "Group Management", we would like to request the permission settings that meet the following requirements.
・Can freely create groups
・Can only manage groups created by themselves
・Cannot manage groups for the entire tenantCurrently, a group administrator can have administrative rights for only certain groups, but cannot create groups.
We would like to achieve the above by segmenting the "Group Management" authority of co-administrator or expanding the "Group Administrator" authority. Could you consider it?■Background
Since it takes person-hours to grant folder access rights on a per-user basis, it is desirable to grant access rights on a per-group basis.
At that time, instead of the Box administrator creating groups, I want each user (group administrator) to be able to freely create groups.■Request

I would like to have access to the recycle bin using the mobile app for iOS devices
Right now only the web page permits to access the recycle bin to delete permanently files and folders.
It would be a great to develop an upgrade to have this option available also for the mobile device app.3 votes -
Please make shared links searchable to allow for quicker file access.
I am a photographer/image manager for an e-commerce company and many of our manufacturers provide their digital assets through shared Box links. However, there are thousands of images and folders to manually comb through to find the correct images for products.
Most manufacturers include part numbers product names in their image titles, so simply introducing a search feature in shared links would save hours of time finding the correct images!
Thanks for your consideration.

Password Protect Folders Designated as "Invited People Only" Collaborators
I would like to add passwords to folders that are tagged as "Invited People Only" to increase the level of security on the content. I would like to create a folder that is shared only with invited people, and also add a password for the folder to ensure content is as secure as possible, e.g., pre-lease earnings reports, HR terminations, pending litigation, etc.

Display the "Notes" section of MS PowerPoint files
When I open a PPT file in a browser (say Firefox), it would be nice if the box preview could also display the "Notes" section associated with the PPT file under each slide, in the default view. Right now, my workaround is opening the file with MS PPT Online, and clicking on the "Notes" section at the bottom to expand and display any notes associated with individual slides.

box app should open other apps in their own instance
It's very annoying when using box mobile (android) that when I want to send a file it opens the other apps inside the box instance and not in their own processes. For example a photo gets opened in f-stop which then shares to social media app but then all have to back out to get back to the box folder I started in and I can't keep any of those apps open where they were which in this case prevents adding a second photo to the same posts. I don't see this same trapped behavior in other apps.

Cursor leaves folder name field after creating new folder
I've found two bugs in the we-based box app. These have both been happening for a while now... several months at least.
First, when you create a new folder, you can no longer just start typing the name, as the cursor leaves the Folder Name field upon creation of a new folder. Having to click back in the field is a bit of a pain.
Second, often when I'm uploading something - particularly if it's hundreds of megabytes, or part of a larger upload, after finishing the list of uploads, it will begin uploading the list again. I've uploaded a list of files several times, and come back to find that all of them say V2 because they immediately got uploaded again.
I've also seen this first hand after completing an upload, where I'll see the upload status start again.
Thanks!

Box Drive support for Tags (Windows)
We would like to be able to use tags in Box Drive in order to better sort/filter/search for specific information that is used company-wide (either the tags field in MS Office files or a Box-specific tag). I see several requests for this feature from Mac users, but not much reference for Windows users.
Thanks...

When restoring a version, keep the original Modified Date
When restoring a version, keep the original Modified Date. Creating a new modified date implies that the file was modified when it was not. Versions should be restored to previous state.

annotate
When adding an annotation to a file, it would be nice to make it a once stop annotate and enable the person that i am @ mentioning to annotate the file and not require the owner to first extend the file through permissions, then go annotate. Annotation should be one process for sharing and extending annotation.

I want to display the same date and time as the original file when I preview the file.
Please fix the following issues in the preview, which are also noted as known limitations:.
[Excerpt from the article]
Excel preview does not follow time information in the original file. When previewing Excel documents in Box, the time-related functions (for example, TODAY() or TIME()) do not display accurately. This is because Excel date/time functions are dynamic, while the previewed document is static. Box preview obtains and displays the date the file was previewed. A static version of the time/date is displays in the previewed document, based on the time the preview was generated.reference article
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195013-Introducing-Box-PreviewOur company uses Excel to manage the timing of product orders and deliveries, and shares these files with external collaborators in an effort to link information efficiently. While it has been important to be able to confirm accurate information without using a native application, inaccuracy of date information has been raised as a concern by users inside and outside the company, and has become a problem that hinders company-wide deployment. Therefore, I hope that the same date and time as the original file will be correctly displayed on the preview screen.

I really wish Box notified a person when they close a locked document, like "Hey, did you want to keep that file locked?"
