Add audit tracking for Folder Settings 'Restrict collaboration to within (company)'
The information in Folder Settings, specifically the 'Restrict collaboration to within (company)' setting information would be extremely helpful if it was tracked/audited.
For example, if a folder was supposed to be an ‘Internal’–only Folder, however that setting was Unchecked, people could in theory Invite external users to folders within it which would pose a security risk.
Thus seeing who modified this setting would be very helpful.

Not have to manually focus box drive search
With Box Drive, it used to be that when I press ctrl-alt-shift-b, I'd get the box popup with the search field focused with the cursor at the end of the last search I did.
Something's changed that now the input field is no longer focused. Now I have to click on it to type.
It used to be that I had to shift-home, backspace and then I could type a new search.
Best case scenario is that the search field should already be focused with the text highlighted so that I can immediately type or press enter repeat the last search or right arrow to then append to the previous search text.Thanks!

The search tool could look up for specific words/sentences inside documents.
When we need to search for a specific word/sentence inside a document, the search tool does not show any results. It is only searching for the word/sentence on the title of the document.
It would be very helpful if it could search inside the documents and also bring it as a result.6 votes -
Custom app to pull Access Stats on files/folders without admin privileges
Goal: Obtain access statistics on files/folders via custom app with no admin privileges
We have an enterprise app that manages one of our Box folders - i.e. the app is owner of the folder while most collaborators are just editors and some co-owners. Moreover, we have the 'hidden collaborators' setting enabled, which means that only owner and co-owners can view 'Access stats' in the browser. For other collaborators (being Editors) to view access stats, we would then pull the stats via the Box API - e.g. using the events endpoint. With our enterprise Box instance, however, we do not have admin privileges and cannot get this. This means we cannot pull access statistics on the various files and folders via the events endpoint with our app.
It would be very nice if
A) Access statistics could be available for editors on a folder with 'hidden collaborator' setting enabled.. orB) The events endpoint is made available for apps with no admin-privileges.. or
C) An actual 'access stat' endpoint is made available (preferably with the python SDK)

would be awesome to have this option !

GET RID OF PAGINATION!
We constantly have people unable to find files on Box because they're located on the second (or later) pages in the folder.
It's completely pointless and an unusual user experience for online file storage.

need the collaboration list based on user level .
This is similar to UI settings , in the user settings when you click collaborations , you will get the collaboration list of all the folders.
Similar api is required.

Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.
We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

(Drop) Box Vault - Password Protect File Feature
Enable password protection for individual files or at master level for sensitive data (ie: Dropbox Vault).

So we used a password on a shared link that contains a greater than symbol and the link does not work
If you create a shared link with a password that contains a greater than symbol > it will not work.
Such as:
T^>&4zjbFzVAt the very least they should make it so that when you try to save a password with that symbol it throws an error right there on the form.
Thanks

Ability to create an index of a folder structure
1) A way to create an index of a folder structure to make it easier for outside collaborators to get an idea of whats down the folder tree. We’re looking for some sort of index (like a table of contents) in an orderly fashion for a particular set of folders. I ran a files and folders report but as just an excel sheet it was relatively useless as a table of contents
2) A way to schedule a report to run daily or weekly

Indexing Box Drive Offline Files
I have access to a number of folders that I don't need frequently (if at all), but I do have a select group of folders that I use daily, and I keep these stored as files available offline. I recently migrated from a computer that used Box Sync to a computer using Box Drive, and I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't search my offline files using the windows file explorer. Instead, I'm forced to use the Box Drive search window, which requires that I search ALL of my folders, which frustrates many of my directed searches.
I would like to see Box Drive to allow for offline files to be indexed.

"Request Option to Choose Logo Placement in New UI"
In the old UI, the logo would appear in the top left corner of the screen.
In the new UI, the logo is in the top right corner of the screen.
We would like the option to choose the logo placement since our users are use to the logo appearing in the top left corner.

Users want to add a function that allows them to select the association from the existing Box folder when they create a new folder in SFDC
This is a request for improvement about Box for salesforce.
