collections available in modal windows
Everywhere that uses a modal window should surface collections. For example in Teams adding a file to a chat to share, modal window appears. Show collections.
Another example - When creating a workflow and then using the file picker modal window appears. Show collections.
Collections should be everywhere, it is a killer feature that would get more use if you could rely on every interaction with box showing collections. (otherwise it makes using box more difficult remembering where content is)

Hide thumbnails in previewing a doc
I would like the opportunity to hide the thumbnails that appear on the left side of the screen when I preview the document. I would love to be able to have more real estate to look at the doc itself. There may be a time when it might be important to have those thumbnails come back, so a way to hide and unhide it would be great.

*.jar files should not be opened like *.zip files
I sometimes share software patches with customers via Box. The files are often .jar... This is the file extension for Java Archives, which are a type of .zip format. However, unlike .zip, they are not intended to be opened by users. The Box interface (desktop at least) previews the files/folders inside a selected .jar file. It is confusing to the user. Instead, these files should be handled as downloads only.

Right clicking box folders to open a new tab
I would like to be able to open Box folders in a new tab by right-clicking that folder. Several years ago, when I first started using Box, I was able to do that, but for the last couple years that feature has disappeared.
I'm not referring to breadcrumbs. I understand those can be right-clicked and opened in a new tab. Instead, I'm referring to the folders I see before me when I log into Box.

The ability to exclude Box Drive and Box Sync synchronization processes and file opened downloads in the download policy of Box Governance o
The ability to exclude Box Drive and Box Sync synchronization processes and file opened downloads in the download policy of Box Governance options
The download policy of the Box Governace option also detects the synchronization process in Box Sync and Box Drive, as well as the downloading of files when they are opened.
Therefore, it is not possible to detect only those downloads that are intended by the user.
By adding the Box Sync and Box Drive synchronization process and a setting to exclude downloads when a file is opened, you can detect and monitor large numbers of user-initiated downloads.The ability to exclude Box Drive and Box Sync synchronization processes and file opened downloads in the download policy of Box Governance options

new box layout is worse than old
When you upload long list of images, you can't track any more which one was just opened. It is used to be a bar on left hand side to track where I was last, now not even highlight??? It is going to take me 3x time to find out what was the last image I viewed. So disappointed. Can I please return old layout style, or add the bar to track individual files in each folder.

Set a configuration option to toggle thumbnails off by default
When a multipage, or multisheet, document is opened in Box, the thumbnails are toggled open by default and take up much of the left side of the screen. A configuration option should be offered to allow a user to set the thumbnail toggle off by default.

Custom Support information (including displayed text)
Currently, when you edit support information in the Admin Console (phone number, email, support URL), this is displayed in the "Get Help" section but it is, in my opinion, too rigid. For example, the Support Site URL is displayed as "Help center" in the callout and this cannot be changed to match the language we use internally.
It would be great to customize this "Get Help" callout to customize existing items as well as add additional items to help point users to the correct resources e.g.
- Add an item called "Raise a ticket" so users can click a link to raise a ticket internally on Box
- Rename "Help center" to "Box Guides and Resources"
- Change the link for "Get training" to point to our internal training platform (which includes Box)
- Add an item called "Got a question?" which will point people to an internal Teams channel to ask a general question. etc etc.
This way, users can be better informed about how to use Box within our organisation and where to turn if they have an issue or are unsure about something.

Only allow users to set shared link expiration up to the Enterprise setting limit
When setting up a shared link in Box, we want the user to be able to set the expiration up to the Enterprise setting, but not beyond the Enterprise setting.
A shared link with a shorter expiration time is more secure but less convenient. The security level varies depending on the content, so it would be desirable for users to be able to set an expiration date below the Enterprise setting.
Managed users set expiration dates beyond their Enterprise settings, allowing content to be accessed for unintended periods of time.

Allow group administrators of SSO-enabled tenants to change the email addresses of group members
According to the information provided by following link,
group administrators are authorised to change the email addresses of managed users.*
Link：
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043692374Manage group member accounts：
Edit non-admin user accounts in the Managed Users tab, including user name, email, storage, and settings.
*
In the case of tenants using SSO,
only the administrator and co-administrator can change a managed user's email address.In this case, the group administrator cannot change the email address of the group member.
However, in a tenant with a very large number of users,
it is very difficult for the administrator/co-administrator to complete all the changes on user settings (e.g. changing email addresses) alone.Given that group administrators have the right to manage group member accounts,
we think regardless of whether SSO is enabled or disabled, they should be authorized to change the email addresses of group member users as well.＜SSO有効化テナントのグループ管理者がグループメンバーのメールアドレスを変更できるようにしてください。＞
以下リンク先の情報によると、グループ管理者は、
管理対象ユーザーのメールアドレスを変更する権限があります。

しかし、SSOを利用しているテナントの場合、

Decrease the line space between each files on the New UI
Hi team ,
I received a feedback from a client that the new UI made the line spacing bigger and would like to make the line space to decrease to before so that they can see more files in one screen.
Can you please consider this or be able to have option to change the line space?
Thank you in advance for the consideration
9 votesThanks for the feedback. We have made this change in order to make it easier for users to read and scan their file lists. While other users have made similar comments when they first saw the change, many of them have also told us they adapted to the change and prefer the new design.
