Please enable autoplay for multiple files in a folder
You used to be able to enable autoplay for files in a box folder. Now, even if you click on "enable" for autoplay, it does not. Why????

Option to disable preview of PDFs on phone
When I open PDF on iPhone it displays correctly but box preview seems to be ignoring multiply/darken layers and just display them without this. This causes white boxes and images being cut one from another.
Option to disable preview would be nice. This is the folder https://app.box.com/s/qj947h7q0jri0r1hp3lm9dlo9zzjtu2z - first file displays badly on iPhone preview of the link1 voteHi,
thank you for your feedback. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. After reviewing the shared folder and files we can confirm that preview works fine now.
In case of any other questions feature requests or ideas please reach out to us.
Cheers,Klaudyna

Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.
To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files and folders. This is double the work and if I delete my Cache, the short cuts on Box Drive will be lost. Is there a better approach or solution to this problem?

Allow administrators the ability to change the timing threshold of the Box Drive Authentication Token
It would be helpful for admins to be able to change the timeframe for which the Box Drive authentication token lasts. We have users who have a hard time renewing their passwords in a timely manner and this is the biggest avenue they have to keep them working because the token doesn't seem to expire in a more timely manner. Or have a way to remotely sign a user out of all box applications on their devices when needed.

Please Improve the overwriting of a file with the same name when it is uploaded with "Previewer/uploader" permission.
Please improve the following problems that occur when using the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege.
When a file with the same name as an existing file is uploaded, the file is overwritten and saved.
When a user with the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege uploads the same file name, Please the file name should be automatically converted to a different file name from the existing file, such as "File Name_2", so that it can be uploaded.

Rename items and custom order in Collections
Collections are great! Now the possibility to customize the display order as well as to rename items without affecting the actual folder/file name would be great additions
10 votesThanks for the feedback. Currently, collections are sorted by 1) Favorites and 2) personal Collections in alphabetical order. We do not have plans currently to allow renaming items or sorting order.

Save a Search Query as a Collection
When you search, have an option to save the search query as a Collection that then gets dynamically updated.
Good use case: search query for "Folders Created Today" and save that as a Collection (or some other entity in Box).
Other platforms do this with search already and users enjoy it!

external share
Need the ability to provide some users/groups to create external shares for a longer or indefinite period of time. If we have a long range project I have to disable to option to control how long a share stays out there - that in my opinion is a security risk.

Custom Subdomain on Upload API Endpoint
When a Box instance is setup to use a custom subdomain, the upload API endpoint should use the subdomain. For example, acme.upload.app.box.com instead of upload.app.box.com. This will make it easy to setup corporate firewall rules that prevent users from uploading content into personal Box accounts

Watermarking feature turns document to a PDF and loses all formatting
Currently the watermarking feature turns the selected document to a PDF, therefore losing all formatting from the original application. In excel the document loses all formatting features, including tabs, etc. Watermarking should not lose the formatting of the original document - and/or allow for watermarking feature to only be used when downloading and not in the view features.

Watermarking only for downloads
Watermarking in the Box view is intrusive. Allow for water marking feature to be marked as an option for downloaded materials only.

permanently purge file version history
Hello,
We have a use case that we use box as a temporary storage location in a workflow. But once the workflow is finished, we would like to purge the information but "keep" the same boxfileid. We thought by deleting the version history, we would have achieved this. But it turns out the deleted version history is restorable.
I am wondering if it is possible to
(1) optionally make a file "not" able to store version history
(2) or optionally permanently delete a version5 votes -
new folder button in move or copy window
I would like there to be a button to create a new folder within the move or copy window. I have several template documents that I copy into new folder structures when I need to use them, and my workflow would be more streamlined if I could create the folder I am copying the template into from within the move or copy feature, instead of having to create the folder and then copying the template document.

Show full filename in Box Search
Box Search cuts off long file names. If the file name is prefaced with the date or other info, the information one actually needs from the file name may be hidden from the user.
This can be solved by making the Box Search window larger, making it as large as the longest filename, or by showing the filename when a user mouses over the filename or file icon, or when a user uses the arrow keys to select (but not yet open) a file in the Box Search results.

Usability of action icon
I am using box with google chrome. I always use action icon, dots right side of each file, to download a file, but I cannot select download when browser for box is fitted to main display of laptop because actions are pop-up to upside of a display and cannot be seen every actions.
It is not happened if I see box with second display which is bigger than main one. It must be fixed.1 vote -
