Hi, are you interested in knowing about spelling/grammar/usage errors in Box online training, not incl British vs American English?
Grammar and spelling police here. Just wondering if you'd like errors pointed out so you can correct them. Allowing grammar and spelling errors in training materials, especially those offered online, makes Box seem unprofessional and shady -- like a phishing email or letter from an online lottery telling me I've won money. I've found five errors on just the first page of the Get the apps you need lesson, and they're not British v. American English differences.
Happy to send screenshots.1 vote -
File Request User Configuration - error messaging
When configuring File Request for "enable for select users", users remain in the list even if they have been deleted from Box. If you try to add a new user to the list, you will receive an error message. The reason for the error is because a deleted user is still in the list, however the error is a standard message and does not explicitly say this. So customers do not know why they are getting an error. There should be clearer messaging in the error so customers know what they need to do.

open location
When I copy or move an item, usually I just want to go to the location where the file has now been copied or moved to. Currently, the only option is to show file or close. If I show file, I have to wait for it to load before I can click the cross and then be in the location I want to be in. If the file is large, sometimes I have to wait for ages.
I envisage something in Box like when you right click something on your desktop and it says "Open file location"

Relay Workflow to follow messages/ notifications to activities
It would be super helpful if you could use Box Relay to let a notification follow an activity. I know that you can generate tasks, but in that case I just want to let a certain group of users know that there is new content in a folder. A notification would be the best way to do this.

Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity
When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.7 votes -

Markdown preview is blank in iOS. Markdown used to render into a preview on iOS when selecting a .md file. Now it just shows a blank screen. Requesting this gets fixed, I used this feature quite a bit and it's been broken for some time now

Page number Display
Please add the page number display when you open folders. Current version of Box removed the page number and rather lists all the files within that folder, or at least is should. We now see that if a folder has hundreds of files, not all files are displayed when you scroll to the end. For example. If selecting a folder containing all company names starting with the letter S. It may only go to files starting with SNA and end there. In this case you have to revert to using the search within the folder to locate files starting with SNB, SO, etc.. This is sometimes not the best option as there are many reasons someone may want to see the full listing of files in a folder. My request is either bring page display back or display all content in the folder. Thank you.

I want you to change the title of the email notification when you add an item to the folder.
"Example"
TEST A
┗ Test b
┗ Notification folder ← Notification settingsIf you set the folder notification as above,
When you upload a new item to the Notification folder, you will receive a notification with the email title "Added to TEST A".
"It's easier to understand the email title that the item has been added to the Notification folder, so I'd like to change the function.2 votes -
Admin account to not consume a license
At present, an admin user consumes a paid-for subscription which is a waste of a subscription/money.
As an admin, I just perform admin tasks and don't actually use the service to share files.
Would it be possible to have an admin account which can only perform admin duties to ensure paid-for subscriptions are used by actual users?

Upgrade from reCAPTCHA v2 to reCAPTCHA v3
The pictures shown in reCAPTCHA v2 like traffic lights and crosswalks are vague, leading many users to fail to log in.
As a result they would like Box to use reCAPTCHA v3 instead.5 votes -
more than one collection expanded at a time
Would love to leave more than one collection expanded at a time
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Allowing more than one collection expanded in the left sidebar might result in negative performance impact, so we have decided to limit it to one collection at a time. As we continue to make improvements to our systems, we will keep this request in mind.

Notification on task assignment not supported in API
Currently there is no option to send a user an email notification when they are assigned a task via API. This is an unexpected gap, as an email will be sent when the task is assigned manually in the UI, and there are few indications that the same will not be true for programmatically assigned tasks.

Extend display time for the undo option
After moving a file/folder, a prompt appears to allow you to select "Undo", but we find that the prompt appears for a short time and often we find it impossible to undo the action.
We would like to see a longer display time for the undo option.

Box Task Center notification pop-up
Popup assigned tasks when users visit "All Files" page. Currently Box Task Center shows only number. To make it possible for a user to surely notice, popup is better.
