Dropdown list is overlapped
When there is not enough space for dropdown list to show on direction of bottom, currently it shows on top, but top is not a appropriate choice because maybe there is less space on top of the menu button.

Ability to restict folder view to only show folders the user owns
Allow ability to restrict folder view to ONLY those folders which the user owns. Either a separate view or something like a checkbox to enable/disable the restriction.
For example, a user is leaving the company and wants to transfer ownership of their folders to another user. There is no easy way to see what folders you own. With hundreds of folders it could take a long time to find the ones you know to transfer them.

I want to be able to check the checkbox on the "Group Administrator" setting screen when I click the checkbox.
In the setting window of "Group Admin Permission",
the items cannot be check/uncheck although the operator click the check boxes.
(The item can be checked if the operator clicks over the item names, but not in the check box.)
It would be nice if the item can be checked as its check box is clicked.3 votes -
Upgrade Box Drive-G Drive 100 MB Limit Size Limitation
I have a ticket number - #2250687 that has been closed because we need a feature request. When a file is created in Google Docs via Box, most of our users at Apeel keep having issues making changes, saving, sharing or downloading files.
What happens is Google makes edits to the file, the file grows larger than 100 MB, Google then fails to send those changes to Box. While this scenario is not desired it is technically expected; because of the Google error, Box is unable to receive new information and update the file size or content.Please upgrade your 100 mb limit to at least 500 mb so we can work seamlessly with Box since we rely on Box to work with other teams within our company. Thank you.

Marker based paging for search
It would be great if the public search API supported marker based paging to avoid duplicates coming back in search results. Currently we're only able to search based on limit and offset but that's not stateful so each "page" or results may have overlap with previous results. I believe there are other marker based paging APIs for Box. This would bring search in line with how we handle paged results elsewhere.

Microsoft Office, most recent documents
• In Microsoft Office, if you want to open a recent document, it only shows you your 3 latest documents from Box, whereas with our old server (or items you save directly to your computer), it goes back MONTHS.

drag and drop jpegs
• You currently do not have the ability to simply drag and drop a JPEG from Box in to PowerPoint (or any other document), which means you either have to open the doc, take a screen shot and copy/paste the screen shot OR use the “insert” function on PowerPoint and them go through your files to find it

Save the message body in the box folder (as you already do for attachments)
Box allows to create e-mail address for the specific folder and upload files to box by sending them as attachments.
Please add the feature to save the message body itself, not only the attachments.
As a pdf, as a text, or as a msg file, doesn't matter3 votes -
If users log in from "Microsoft Edge", send them a notification saying “Box login from "Microsoft Edge".
Users receive the notification mail of login activity saying “Box login from "Windows Chrome" even though he login from “Microsoft Edge“. It should say "Box login from "Microsoft Edge"

Error message when sharing due to inclusion of URL in message
When sharing a file or folder, the optional message will trigger an error if the user includes a URL in the message text. Instead of just validating the message body in context, the validation cancels the entire sharing popup interface and all of the email addresses that the user carefully entered and the entire message body that the user carefully crafted is lost. Why not just prompt the user to not type a URL and leave the sharing popup interface intact for correction? Also, an email address included in the message body is apparently considered a URL, which is not clear from the error.

Allow default to full screen view on iPad horizontal view (like portrait view)
I like to view box in full screen and because I use landscape view often, I have to hit the double arrow every time I go to a page. In portrait view it automatically goes to full screen view. I'd like an option to automatically go to full screen in landscape.

According to BOX, this is what is being Watermarked “For App Users, it is their user id and current timestamp. The default watermark cannot be customized at this time.”
Right now the Watermark is their “USER ID”, and we need it to be their USER NAME or NAME.1 vote -

Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal
Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal
Currently, candidate users/groups that partially match the texts I entered are displayed in the ascending order.
We want a way to get the user/group that perfectly matches the texts I entered displayed at the top.For e.g., let's say we have the 4 groups each titled "Enterprise Sales team", "Commercial Sales team", "Online Sales team", "Sales team".
With current design, when I type "Sales team" in the textbox, candidate groups are returned in the below order (every group that contains "Sales team" is returned in an alphabetic order):
Commercial Sales team
Enterprise Sales team
Online Sales team
Sales teamWe want "Sales team" displayed at the top because that perfectly matches the text I entered. Like below:
Sales team
Commercial Sales team
Enterprise Sales team

Enhance flexibility to expiration of Public Link
When a Public Link expires, the link is disable and not traceable. Often time endusers do not know what file/folder it was. Especially, when a receiver of the link was an external user like customer, we would like at least to identify which one it was internally. So I would like an option to automatically update Public Link to Company Link or Collaborator only link upon expiration.

Ability to Change Current Root Folder for Box.com integration with Salesforce
To make sure our Salesforce sandboxes are kept up to date with our production instances. We refresh our Salesforce Sandbox every quarter. With the manage package installed after we refresh the Salesforce instance. We don't have the ability to change the Current Root Folder to a different folder meant for our Sandbox (We have different folders for different Salesforce Sandboxes) and the refresh sandbox is pointing to production. We have to uninstall the manage package and then reinstall and change it to the right folder. Since we have code that is using this, this can't be easily done. Asking for away to easily change this after a refresh happens.
