Copied photos do not carry any of the comments made on the original file.
Comments that I have added to photos do not remain when I copy those photos to other folders within box. This is terrible as I now have to go through all of the copied photos for a second time and manually add all the comments that are associated with the original picture files.
Please fix this.

Move whith leaving a bookmark menu
【Request】
I would like to see "Move whith leaving a bookmark" added to the file menu.【Background】
We are trying to centralize data management by using Box, but
Copying files and folders within Box becomes inefficient if it becomes the norm.
Searchability is reduced, file merging becomes more time-consuming, and the risk of editing or sending the wrong file increases.We want users to use "move" as their main tool, but
However, if a file is removed from the source folder, other users will be confused and it will be difficult to use.The bookmark creation function is difficult to find and is not widely used.
There are users who understand bookmarks, but they are not used much because of the complicated operation.【Expected behavior】
(1)"Move whith leaving a bookmark" will be displayed in the menu when right-clicking on a file.
(2)When "Move whith leaving a bookmark" is clicked, a shared link*1 for the target file is automatically issued, and a bookmark with the following information is created in the folder.
- URL: File URL of the target file (since the shared link may be deleted)
- Name: {FileName} has been moved
- Description: {FileName} has been moved to a different folder by {the name of the user who performed the move}. If you do not have access to this bookmark, check with {the name of the user who performed the move}.(3)The Move menu will open, and users select the destination and move the file.
Please consider this idea to realize centralized data management and business efficiency using Box.
*1 The open range is the one specified as default in the Enterprise settings. The behavior of issuing an open link by default should be avoided at all costs.

Custom error messages when shared links cannot be accessed
【Request】
I'd like to be able to customize the error message when I can't access a shared link in Enterprise settings.【Current Status and Issues】
The current error message is
"This shared file or folder link has been removed or is unavailable to you.
Think it's a mistake? No worries: Just email the owner or get in touch with Box support. We're here to help."However, it doesn't help with the next step at all.
Even if the owner or administrator is contacted, they often can't identify the file and can't provide any support.
Also, it is not always possible to find out who owns the linked file in the first place.
In many cases, it is not the owner who should be contacted, but the person who sent the link.A message that does not lead to a solution can cause users to give up and leave the shared link.
【idea】
There are several suggestions for desirable descriptions,
however, the best way is for the administrator to be able to freely customize it, just like the login screen, since each company's case is different.Please consider this so that users do not give up using the shared link and go back to attachments.

I want to be able to upload/stream data in real time to a secure Box folder
Drone operators, Tik Tok users, event planners, wildlife professionals, military training heads, aircraft pilots -- off the top of my head, these are just a few great uses for streaming media files in real time directly to a secure Box folder. Omit the extra, less-secure step of capturing material on a mobile device (laptop, outdoor camera, phone, and so on), and then uploading it to Box. And never worry about the camera, phone, or other device holding your precious content failing or becoming lost before you've had a chance to view/upload the data.

Folder tree organization
No way to archive / organize folders (both shared with and created) on box without just deleting them. I have box on my desktop for work and also use the web portal occasionally. I was unable to move folders (that either were shared with me or i created) into an archived / organized manner within my Box workspace. I asked Box product support and they said it wasn't a feature at this point. I'd like to be able to organize all of the folders that I created and were shared with me without having to delete them, or let them pile up into a massive list 50 folders long.

Keep Company Branding Banner with new Box Web Experience and Collections
One of the reasons I really like Box (enterprise version), was that my users felt like we were using a 'custom to our firm' cloud-product. The beta version of your new Box Web Experience and Collections removes the company branded banner across the top; instead leaving only our logo placed next to my profile picture in the corner. Doesn't look customized enough; instead I'm one of a thousand companies using it. The green side bar running down the left of the screen is too much - reminds me of an animated cartoon. When released, I hope the ability to keep our logoed banner across the top remains, and a less harsh color is chosen for the sidebar.

Approval Task Message box
When creating an Approval Task, the message box could be bigger. When typing a comment that is more than one line and you want to review the message in it's in entirety, you have to use the up/down arrows . Make the message box either 4", or allow that box to be made larger from a corner (drag it bigger)

Remove dialog box that pops up after downloading when you send a shared link to a document
There is a dialog box that pops up after a shared link has been sent and the download has been completed. This box prompts the person to sign up or sign into Box to manage their downloads. It would be a great to turn off that dialog box, especially for those who are enterprise users. It confuses our clients when we send them documents and makes them think they need a box login to download anything, which is not true.

Increase options for File Version Limit in Admin Console
Currently you can only choose between 1 and 100, or Unlimited. We would like options in-between 100 and Unlimited. Preferably a custom option like trash retention was recently updated to. I would like to be able to set it to 1000 or 2000, for example.
Justification: When moving folders that have excessive versions (7000+ for example) the folder moves can fail or take a very long time. However, setting to 100 is not enough for many of our users due to the frequency of increases when using Excel Online.

Box Notes inbox
I use Boxnote all day long for meeting notes, agenda, drafting documents asynchronously, etc. It's great. However, I would love to see a more streamlined inbox format so I can find relevant boxnotes more easily. I can only see 5 boxnotes listed before I have to start scrolling down the page because there are three lines of text: the file name, when it was updated, and what folder it's in. All I need is the name. If the other lines and the extra blank space were to be removed, I'd be able to see many more listed. I'd like to be able to see my 20 most recent files without scrolling endlessly. Do others have this feedback? Thanks!

Hi,
Custom location is working properly on macOS Catalina 10.15. via terminal and configuration profiles.
We're currently testing and this ability is now lost on macOS Big Sur 11
Could you guys kindly look into this and see if it could be implemented soon.
Thank you,

2FA when logging in using external password
When SSO is enabled, users can use external passwords to access services that do not support SSO login. Security teams want to be able to enforce 2FA on logins using external passwords.
