Collections Page as My Homepage
So as designed, I think "My Collections page" is underutilized. Sure here is the only place you can edit/delete your collections and their titles...but this would be a wonderful place to drive users too as their homepage. Obviously, you all thought of that as well since it can be selected as "My Homepage" but right now I think a lot of folks won't want to because there isn't enough useful information on the basic page.
Please allow the user to better configure this page or at least have the collections unfurled/unnested. So that each time they go to this page and login, they see all the content they want to access without having to further click into more pages just to see what is in the collection. The fact they are auto-nested and can't be unnested without diving into the collection boggles my brain :)

I would like to be able to take wide lens photos in Box Capture for iOS.
I work in the real estate business and used to take a lot of photos with Box Capture for iOS. But, apparently Box Capture only uses the standard lens of my iPhone 11 Pro. Is there a possibility that with an upgrade we will be able to use the wide lens and tele lens also?
Thanks in advance for your response.1 vote -
Box Drive Warning When File Path is too Long
There is a known issue with Box Drive that if a file path is exceeds a character count limit, then the file cannot be opened on desktop, however it can be opened via Box on the web. The issue is, when a user has a file on their desktop, that has a current file path within the character count limits, then moves the file to Box Drive within Windows Explorer and the new path in box exceeds the character limits. As of now, the user can copy and paste into Box Drive and not realize that their new path will prevent them from opening the file on the desktop. The update and solution should be to warn the user that upon copying that if they paste the file it will exceed the character limits. Possibly even add that this will prevent opening the document on the desktop, but still can within the browser. This will give the user notice and the ability to cancel the request for good, or go back and change the name before they copy the file so it's within legal limits.

Root folders report
It would be very beneficial and time saving if there was a filter on the Box side that will give you a list of all root level folders in the entire enterprise

Notification if content is screenshot
We have secure content that we send to vendors as "non downloadable" but we also need to know if they take screenshots of that content. We would like functionality that notifies us if a user takes a screenshot of our content.

Smart Access Behavior/スマートアクセスの挙動について
Smart Access Behavior
[Restrict managed users] > [Restrict all users except owner/co-owner] is selected, editors and viewers will not be able to move and copy operations.
Restrict managed users > Restrict all users except owner/co-owner and editors is selected, you will not be able to copy the viewer.
When using the above Box classification and Shield features (access policy), the settings will be applied to files but not to folders, even if they are set.
When a user with editor privileges copies a folder, all copies are made.
I can copy and move folders, but I can't download the files contained in them.
However, if a folder can be copied or moved, even if it is only previewed, I am concerned that confidential information may be leaked to the outside world.(In Japanese)

Enable different folders to sync on different PC's
I want to sync a different subset on folders on a different PC. It appears that is not possible. You can only select one set for syncing... and that's it.

File request: add the ability to pre-populate fields
It would be great if there would be a way to pre-populate the fields of a file request with "known-information" if available.
This would allow us to reuse a single file request in a portal, but set the metadata on the uploaded documents, based on the current user's context. Content can then be routed in the Box system based on the metadata set.
4 votesWhile we continue to track this idea on our roadmap, we don't have a current plan to introduce this capability in the short/medium term.

Allow an upload of data for Options fields in Metadata templates.
For the metadata templates, our team has large lists of projects, clients, names, etc that would be best uploaded for potential Option fields in various metadata templates. This would help upon setup and updating of templates.

Service Accounts should be rate limited differently than user accounts
Currently, when you use a service account to access Box API's, in order to get access to content you need to use the As-User header "impersonate" users in order to access the files that are owned by then.
So if you are doing something like using a service account to crawl through all the files in a folder in box, you would need to use the As-User header in order to impersonate a user who owns/has access to each file while doing it.
But there is a huge problem here is that the rate limiting is done using the As-User header. The service account is not treated specially in any way and the rate limiting is done per user as if the service account actually is the user that is doing the requests.
This causes massive amounts of rate limiting when trying to access the files in the folder.
Service accounts should be treated as "app auth" and should not be restricted by the same rate limits as users.
Other cloud content providers such as Google Drive and SharePoint Online treat app-auth differently than user auth for this same reason. We are requesting that Box.com changes to do this as well.

Update "Not Part of Company" Text to Look Like a Button
When you share a folder or document with a client who is not a part of your organization they receive an email, they then create a login, they are then sent to a page that says "Company uses your network username and password to login to Box. Continue to login to Box through your network." There is then a Continue button and then text that read "Not part of Company" All 66 of my clients have clicked on the button and not on the text because the text does not look click-able. It would be fantastic if that text could look like a button. Thank you.

Intermediate collaborator permission level between "Editor" and "Viewer/Uploader"
"Viewer/Uploader" is the second state in the series of current box collaborator permission levels for general users. However its operable range is very limited comparing to "Editor".
It would be more convenient for users to have another subdivided level or two, such as "Semi-Editor" which is possible to operate files but unable to change levels.3 votes -
Get Notification on upload
Currently owner of the folder alone will get notifications when a file is uploaded. We have a requirement for the uploader of the file to get notification as well so that it will serve as an acknowledgement for the upload

Add an optional custom message when locking the file
When you lock a file in Box, it would good to add your own message when locking the file as to why you have locked the file. By providing this, you can inform others who go to unlock the file why you have the file locked in the first place and either
a) discourage them from racing through the confirmation dialog and unlocking the file
b) provide additional context to them as to how much longer you will be with the fileThe message is optional so if you don't want to add additional comments, you can still lock the file.
Hopefully, this feature would lead to less unintentional unlocking of files and, therefore, less file conflicts to resolve.
