We want a function to divide files created with Box Notes by category (tag).
[Background]
Box Notes is harder to use than OneNote.
The reason is that it is difficult to find files from INBOX because files cannot be divided by categories (tags, folders, etc.).6 votes -
My Collection folders to be kept open when opening another My Collection Folder
Hi Team,
A client has requested to be able to keep the My Collection folders open when they open another My Collection folder.
Currently, when you select one of the folders in the left side menu, you can only open up one folder. When you select a new folder, it closes the previous one.
It would be great if it is possible to keep the previous folders open unless the user wants to close it by clicking again.Thank you in advance for your consideration.
7 votesThanks for the feedback. We have decided to allow only one expanded collections in the left side menu so we can maximize the performance of loading the left side menu.

The ability to send a file to a specified user without requesting receiver to create Box account
We are looking for a way to share a file without requesting external receiver to create Box account. Shared Link with "anyone can access" is too open and risky so we need to specify the receiver by email etc. Dropbox provides this by Dropbox Transfer.

Updates are no longer unlimited... WHY?
Updates are essential... Box won't allow viewing of updates on the Mobile app anymore, and with the latest update, the Updates feature on desktop only goes back 24 hours... This is unacceptable.

Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.
In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.
I want the option to overwrite the file when it has the same name of existing files.7 votes -
Independent back-up of files in box
In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay extra for that service.

The "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.
We'd like to see the "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.
If possible, we'd like this setting to be able to be done by folder from "Folder Settings".We are confident that this feature will expand the use of Box even further.
「ファイルリクエスト」機能を管理対象ユーザーだけでなく、外部ユーザーも利用できるように利用可否の選択肢を広げて欲しい。
可能であれば、この設定は「フォルダ設定」からフォルダ単位で行えるようにして欲しい。この機能があればBoxの利用の幅がさらに広がると思います。

Allow for a larger logo in the New Web UI
The new interface significantly reduces the size of the company logo used in the branding configuration. The change makes the presence of our logo imperceptible to users. Allowing to modify the size of it or even keeping the current interface design could be an alternative.

file content search
My company has elected to encrypt all box information which I do agree with. However this disables a major function of being able to search all file content. If a user is able to read encrypted data then the user should be able to build encrypted search indexes for file content. This is a major flaw that should be corrected by box.

Allow File Request Boxes to be customized
The file request boxes are extremely limited and need some basic levels of customization. The iframes are ugly and need to go, but at the very least we should be able to chose the height and width of them.

A subfolder is automatically created for each file when the file is uploaded by File request.
Eliminate the hassle of creating individual folders for uploaded files and facilitate our next task.
For the folder name, it is preferable to be able to specify metadata (email address, etc.).1 vote -
Improve web site usability
When I share image folder with someone who does not have account at Box.com - their browsing experience is currently poor: it's not possible to see all photos as previews, changing their size, not possible to use arrows / swipe to navigate between previous and next full-sized picture and so on... Web site usability needs to be greatly improved to match best cloud services on the market.

New / Folder Modal Window on Web App - Fields Lose Focus
I'm a creature of habit and don't like change, so there are plenty of grumblings I could make about the new UI.
That being said, there's one thing that absolutely gets my goat, and I'm told that this is "expected behavior" in the new web UI.
When I click the upper right "new" then "folder" and the "lightbox" modal window appears to add information about my new folder, the old UI would focus the cursor in the naming field allowing me to just start typing.
In the new UI, this window loses focus after a short load of some small asset (I can see the status bar updating for a flash), after which, the window loses focus. The old interface did not do this. I could simply click New then Folder, then start typing my folder name. Now, I must first click on the field to regain focus before typing my folder name.
I realize I'm complaining about one mouse click, but old habits die hard. I really hate the new UI because of this new hassle.
(First world problem rant over.)
