Ability to enable/disable notifications
There are settings that automatically notify users when enabled, such as requiring 2-Step Login Verification.
Currently, it is not possible to disable notifications, but if notification emails are sent to users due to setting changes, it will cause confusion for users, so please allow the administrator to select whether to enable or disable notifications.ｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰ
＜通知の有効/無効を設定できる機能＞
2段階認証の要求など有効時に自動的にユーザーに通知が送信される設定項目があります。
現在通知を無効化にすることは出来ませんが、設定変更によりユーザに通知メールが送信されてしまうとユーザの混乱に繋がるため、

Getting Notifications that Don't apply to non-admins
When I logged into Box this morning, I saw the following note in the lower right-hand corner of my home screen.
Your Box account has been growing!
A growing number of users at your company have signed up for Box accounts – exceeding the number seats included in your plan by {{MLDATAOVERAGE_SEATS}}. To adjust this license overage, add seats to your plan using the link below.- We do have seats available

a better way to handle people wanting to collaborate with you - scams
Once scammers have your email address you receive a TON of "user x added you to collaborate with" communications and it is very tedious to remove (decline) them, as you have to do it one by one, each taking multiple clicks. make a way for me to "select all" those who want to collaborate with me and decline them ALL at once. I'm so close to just deleting my box account as I get 2-3 notifications of people (scammers) wanting to collaborate with me and takes me a long time to decline them all.

Specific Access to subfolders in the same Folder
Is it possible to give to users view permission only to specific subfolders within a folder? Example: I want to upload to a master folder 5 subfolders to our daughter company partners and I want to make sure that the 3 subfolders out of the 5 of them will be viewed only from their bosses. This flexibility helps you to avoid creating 2 different folders for the same Task-Subject.
1 votePermissions are based on the folder. All files within a folder will be accessible to all collaborators. See here for more info and contact Support with any questions: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697254-Understanding-Folder-Permissions

Unable to see external items via API
Currently the API works differently than the UI. in the UI a user can see files/folders that were shared with them from an external (to the org) account, however, when trying to query for the visible items via the API these do not show.
In addition - if you try to get the details of specific items shared by an external user you get an error when using the API, which is unfortunate since this causes 2 classes of behavior that are inconsistent between the UI and the API.1 vote -
Request for improved expiration date setting for invited collaborators
We use Box's collaboration features to work on projects with outside contractors. The duration of these projects varies from one month to several years.
Suggestion 1: We would like the folder owner to have the flexibility to change the expiration date of the collaborator.
Suggestion 2: I would like to see the “Automatically delete invited collaborators” setting add multiple items that are the same as “Delete after days”.
If you can achieve either of these, we will be able to control the collaboration of external accounts in detail.1 vote -
Set admin thresholds for mass deletes or mass moves
We would like the ability for admins to set some limits on mass deletes or moves, possibly 2 levels, one that needs a two stage confirmation by the user when it is between X and Y and then sends an alert to the admins informing them of the action.
Then a second limit between Y and Z that informs the user that admin needs to approve and sends an approval request to the admins.
The alerts was something Dropbox did, but the approvals adds a new dimension to improve our ability to avoid unnecessary recovery.

Increase Automations limit to 2,000
We use Box workflow automations for all of our accounts payable processes with our clients. There are nine distinct processes that require workflows, so that means nine workflows per client. We have over 100 clients, so we are almost at 1000 workflows already.
Whenever we bring a new client on board, we automatically create nine new workflows.

Display TIFF Files without strict metadata validation
TIFF generated across different business, internal and external streams are not consistent with the meta data validation. Some times, the file metadata claims the embedded JPEG uses 1x1 sampling (no subsampling, full resolution), but the actual JPEG data uses 2x1 horizontal chroma subsampling.
In these cases strict validations causes failures to preview the TIFF images, converting millions of such images to PDFs is not scalable effort.
BOX to provide a feature to ignore strict validation of the meta data.

Allow the "Folder" column to be expandable when adding/modifying managed users in BOX
When adding users or modifying a managed user, the 'Folders' column when you are adding folders is not expandable. You also cannot really widen the Administration window for Users and Groups in the Admin console.
1) Can we make the Users and Groups section in the admin console wider? Or just as wide as my browser window?
2) Can you make the 'Folders' column when managing or editing a user expandable so I can see the folder full name?

Add ability to preview Excel docs on Box.com in portrait or landscape, depending on correct orientation in Page Setup of file.
Currently, you can only preview Excel documents on Box.com in landscape mode which means documents with orientations set to portrait are chopped at the 2/3 mark and appear on two pages. The issue is that it takes up precious viewing space by having the two pages in the page preview panel on the left which would otherwise not be there if you were looking at a 1-page document in portrait mode. Therefore, you have to zoom into a document and then flip to the second page to see the rest of it. Please fix.

Email to Box Change Disappointing
Box decided to remove email to folder options for less than business users, with supposed preservation of existing email to folder set ups. That didn't work. The existing email to folder broke, one of our critical business processes was subsequently broken.
1) I did not receive notice of this change
2) I can't even view what the existing email to folder email address is.
3) It's a poor move to remove a feature an existing customer has access to. Should have been grandfathered in.1 vote -
Option to disable preview of PDFs on phone
When I open PDF on iPhone it displays correctly but box preview seems to be ignoring multiply/darken layers and just display them without this. This causes white boxes and images being cut one from another.
Option to disable preview would be nice. This is the folder https://app.box.com/s/qj947h7q0jri0r1hp3lm9dlo9zzjtu2z - first file displays badly on iPhone preview of the link1 voteHi,
thank you for your feedback. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. After reviewing the shared folder and files we can confirm that preview works fine now.
In case of any other questions feature requests or ideas please reach out to us.

View is broken after binning multiple items - needs to force a refresh?
I hit a bug:
I had 33 files in a folder. (There are 20 per page). I selected the first 20 (one page of files) and clicked Bin to move them to the bin.
The files went to the bin and once the process completed, the view showed "There are no items in this folder."
...but there are - there are still 13 files in the folder!
Hitting F5 to refresh didn't fix this.
Hitting "Next Page" took me to a "There are no items in this folder" page with no page navigation buttons. (I guessing this is because it…1 vote -
Remove 'Get our app to view this on mobile' Text/Link in Emails for EMM-Enabled EIDs OR Allow Link Customization
For customers that use Box for EMM (and have disabled the standard Box apps), the 'get our app to view this on mobile' link/text in the standard Box email notifications (like for @mentions, uploads, etc.) is confusing because users in that EID won't actually be able to log into the standard Box app that it links to.
REQUEST:
1. Either provide the option to remove this text from emails
OR
2. Allow customization of this text to change the link that it points to (so a customer can link to their software/app catalog where users download the Box for EMM…8 votesHey there! Thanks for submitting this feedback, but due to competing priorities, we cannot put this ask on our roadmap at this time.

Folder migration improvements
Folder migration improvements
The current process for changing folder ownership and transferring it to a new location is cumbersome and inefficient. It involves:
1) Logging into the Admin Console and impersonating the owner's account to change the folder ownership.
2) Waiting an unspecified amount of time for the change to take effect.
3) Logging in as the new owner to move the folder to its new location.
4) Waiting again for another unspecified amount of time for the move to finalize.We are undertaking a large-scale project to transfer folder ownership from individual accounts to a service-level account and reorganize…

Collaborators Page - Add 'Common Folders' Column Back to Page
In Legacy, the Collaborators page had a column called "Common Folders" that told me (as a user) which folders I was collaborating in with the given user.
In Amsterdam, this column was removed, meaning the page only tells me WHO I'm collaborating with, but not WHERE I'm collaborating with them (aka in which folders)...which makes the page FAR less useful.
