Allow editors to overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget
Currently editors cannot overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget. It makes sense for editors to be able to change this option.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally
Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.
For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.1 vote -

Input file/folder ID instead of folder name in Files and Folders report
Quite often folders with same name appear when the folder name is entered for filtering the folder to create the report, resulting in the report being incorrect although after long time waiting for the report to be ready.
By allowing to filter by file/folder ID instead of folder name, such mistake can be avoided and the the filtering can be made more accurate.10 votesGreat news!
We've rolled this out in a recent release. Thank you for helping make Box better!

Add folders and files to a Legal Hold via the UI
Currently, Legal Holds can only be applied to custodians (people) via the UI, but other options (files, folders, and specific versions) are available via API - https://community.box.com/t5/For-Admins/Legal-Holds/ta-p/19886
This request is to add UI support for adding files and folders to a Legal Hold via the native Box Admin Console UI.
11 votesPlease see https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Folder-Level-Legal-Holds/idi-p/69643 for additional detail. We don’t plan to add files at this time, but have added folders.

Quarantined files indicator for Box mobile app
Quarantined files currently show a red exclamation indicator icon + tooltip “This file is under quarantine” on webapp, but NOT on mobile.
This is an issue for users (especially external collaborators) who will try to access these quarantined files on mobile, but not understand why they can’t access it.

Including the original path to a file that was deleted.
It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP
It's very helpful that Box now supports previewing Zip Files as noted at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196713-Previewing-Zip-Files, and we would like to know if there are plans to support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP?

BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using
BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

Update Box Sync to ignore temporary save files from Terramodel (*.~pr)
Trimble Terramodel is a CAD program similar to AutoCAD or BricsCAD and saves a copy of the main drawing file (PRO files in the case of Terramodel, DWG in the case of AutoCAD) and renames the extension ~PR (AutoCAD equivalent is BAK).
Box needs a simple way of toggling the option to ignore certain file types such as these to prevent syn errors and long scanning sessions during sync.

Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy
Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…13 votes -

When uploading to Box, it is common to upload all files in a folder.
At this time, the same file may be uploaded multiple times,
but is it possible to set it so that only new files are uploaded based on the timestamp?
Because I want to stop unnecessary version upgrades.
In the case of FTP, there is a "mirroring upload" function,
which uploads only new files based on the timestamp.

Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters
Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

Show size of all files in a folder
When downloading, it would be useful to compare the total size of what has been downloaded to the total size of what is being downloaded. Files have sizes listed, not sure about folders, but a total of whatever is on the page, or what is selected would be useful.
