Antidote made compatible with Box Notes
Hi !
As an active writer and participant for an association, it would be great if Box Notes could be made compatible with the app Antidote, which would allow users to proofread their texts on box directly without having to copy-paste their work on Word first. It would be a huge time saver, especially for those working on shared projects.
Good day

Correct the wording of 'Prior Versions'
Your Website states that:
The maximum number of prior file versions you can access corresponds to your Box account type:Personal Free - 1 Version
This simply isn't true, and I have argued this in a ticket and with a live agent, but the statement implies you can access a prior version of your file.
Definition of Prior is "earlier in time or order" so this makes your statement false as you cannot access anything but the CURRENT version in the Free version.
I would suggest the wording:
The maximum number of file versions you can access corresponds to your Box account type:Personal Free - current version only
Furthermore, make the web access more clear about this, as when you look at a file it says there are 2 versions with their dates, but in a Free account, when you try to retrieve the older file you get the error
"Server error
File versions could not be retrieved.
No prior versions are available for this file"
Which leads you (like I did) to raise a ticket to find out why!Even better, allow Free account to have access to one prior version, like some of your rivals!

Metadata table(row: files, column: metadata keys)
We are looking for a table type of view of files(row) and metadata keys(column), that allows us to be able to configure their own views of data in Box.
It allows us to...
- configure the view with applying metadata templates(can select the keys to show)
- filter and sort the view
- update metadata directly from this view
- export the view of data to a csv fileThis sort of solution helps users to reduce the time spent for searching the content and updating the metadata values(and it would be competitive with SharePoint library view).
90 votesA box-native metadata table is not currently on the roadmap, but we have launched our metadata query toolkit alongside a content-explorer element that can emulate the same experience.

New Color Scheme
The new left pane color scheme makes the menu items more difficult to read. In the prod environment the Favorites icons are easily recognized by their color, but in the beta UI they all seem to blend together.

Office 365 Image profile should be used as profile picture on Box website when Azure SSO is setup
Office 365 Image profile should be used as profile picture on Box website when Azure SSO is setup. I noticed all Box accounts created via Azure SSO have a silhouette as the image. Would be great if it can pull the image from Office 365 profile.

Infinite redirects in SSO-enabled mode when a user's password expires
In SSO enabled mode, you can sign in with a password. When a user's password expires, they are forced to change their password. If you try to sign in with SSO in this situation, you will be redirected indefinitely and you will not be able to sign in.
In this case, Box should redirect to the password change page after accepting the authentication.

Option to disable thumbnail preview entirely or for certain file types
Thumbnail previews of text based documents are not useful. I had a user reach out about this. they would rather have the icon preview for docx/pdf since the thumbnail is too small to give any info.

Automatic Removal of Deleted Users from Admin Console Settings
Ability to automatically remove deleted users from admin console settings
Currently, you can enable features like Mark for Offline and folder-level metadata cascading by adding a user to the setting on admin console. When a user is deleted, the deleted user is left listed in the setting. We would like the deleted user be automatically removed from the settings.

Create collections based on metadata.
Add the ability for users to be able to create collections based on metadata. This should speed up the process of adding files to collections and staying organized. It would be additionally helpful to be able to use multiple tags within a collect. For instance, If I wanted to add all contracts that are from 2012 then I might use two tags: "Contracts" and "2012".

Enhance feedback when a user unlocks a file locked by another user
There is no warning given if a user unlocks a file which has been locked by another user.
Currently we have users who are locking files, while they edit content in desktop Office apps, but other users are unlocking as they also have to make urgent changes. This is causing a conflict of edits and loss of changes.
If a user, other then the person that locked a file, unlocks a file then there should be a warning message displayed that asks for confirmation before the unlock is implemented.
