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.

I want to name or add descriptions to the different versions of a file
I have some documents with hundreds of versions. Right now, though, the only versions I would ever refer to are those uploaded in the past few weeks, when I remember the changes made and have context for why the file was updated. Looking back on new versions a year ago, I have no way of knowing what changes were made, what versions were major changes and what were marginal. The ability to preview prior versions is nice, but without the ability to review changes to the text, I would spend hours trying to understand what was different about a prior version. The solution: let me name versions! Instead of having version 22 and version 144, let me have "Updated Naming Conventions" and "Removed Reference to Third Party." If not a name, let me add a description to a prior version. As more people use online editors (which spam versions) this is going to be a bigger and bigger challenge.

Allow email notification in folder settings via file request link.
Now, user cannot get any notification if the file is uploaded via file request link even if notification settings are enabled in the folder settings.
Could you expand the range of notification to file request link?6 votes -
Automatic notification of an added sub-folder
I would like to be notified when a new sub-folder is added to an existing folder. It would be helpful if this could be set and be automatic as opposed to requiring a person to tell me. It seems a basic idea for BOX and was surprised it did not exist. Am requesting per this page.

Improvement plans about privacy settings of folders
Are there any improvement plans below?
BoxNote is not available when a folder is set privacy - "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" - active.
OfficeOnline is not available when you set folder privacy - "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" - active.
I often want to refer to Boxnote and MS Office documents for the purpose of reference much data and information with our business partners.

Box UI Content Explorer and Content Picker: Support Download ZIP Natively through top-level Element options
Box's REST API now supports ZIP downloads via the external API in addition to the internal managed web app. It has been a common ask to provide native support for this endpoint in the Box UI Elements - Content Explorer & Content Picker UI Elements through exposing the feature as a top-level option/property when rendering the UI Elements.

Governance, Retention policy for folders with no content
hen a retention policy removes files, it's possible to end up in a situation where there is a very long list of folders without any files. It would be helpful if there was a way to remove these folders quickly.

Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report
Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.
Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.
It should be counted.

Document metadata processing and visualization for decision making in large organizations
Example: Financial organization such as a bank, needs to process a new loan. They will need to process income verification, identity verification, and other documents. The bank representative receiving this information must validate these documents, so the metadata pulled from these documents should be easily exported into a friendly format, such as excel.
This will allow bank representative to easily approve or deny the loan, and can be automated using Box Relay.
This is a killer application, because it will increase the efficiency of document processing, and will speed up and automate the work of many employees. This will shift Box from a core business of file storage and file sharing, to a more meaningful business of data analytics and business processes. This will greatly increase the value proposition of the Box product, especially to larger organizations and banks that handle large amounts of paperwork and documents. As Aaron Levie has mentioned, Box strives to become a platform for enterprise business, like Salesforce, on which 3rd party developers can build applications and processes. This has the potential to massively increase the revenue and growth of Box.
In fact, a young company has developed a similar product: Instabase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2YvQTAFmnQ&ab_channel=InstabaseInc.In addition, this can extend far beyond financial applications. Organizations with a large amount of paperwork and forms, such as apartment rental agreements, job applications, hand-written feedback forms, driver license verification, etc...

Need to be able to view group members before adding to a folder
Would be great to be able to see members of a group prior to adding them to a folder. At the moment, even those groups which are listed as being viewable by anyone in the company can't be viewed until AFTER they are added to a folder, unless someone is a group admin. It means that either someone has to contact an admin to be sure they have the right group, or they have to add the group and then check right away to make sure they added the right one.

ABILITY TO CLOSE THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR ON FILES!!!!!!
GET RID OF THE ACTIVTY BOX ON FILES.
OF OUR ~10,000 FILES ONLY 6 HAVE COMMENTS, SO WHY SHOULD WE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE IT OPEN.
WHEN USING TWO OPEN WINDOWS SIDE BY SIDE, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BOX BECAUSE HALF OF THAT WINDO W IS OVERTAKEN BY THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR.
YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT, WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!2 votes -

Auto classification of files/folders based on metadata and comments
It would be helpful if Box's auto classification feature were able to trigger file classification (and thus, security controls) if metadata on a file/folder is sensitive in nature or if a file has comments/tasks/annotations that contain sensitive information.

Keep third party's login token or credentials when logging out from Box Drive
Users need to log in to a web gateway before logging in to Box Drive.
If they log out, they need to login to the gateway again.
In WebApp, they don’t need to re-login the gateway after logging out from Box.
Therefore, Box should have any way to prevent this.

See a longer duration for the pop-up that appears at the top of the screen when moving or copying is performed.
We would like to see a longer duration for the pop-up that appears at the top of the screen when you move or copy.
It would be great if it could be set up on a per-tenant basis if possible.If we accidentally manipulate it, we'll get flustered.
We need a little more time to calmly click the "Undo" button.＜移動・コピー時に画面上部に表示されるポップアップの持続時間を長くして欲しい＞

可能であれば、テナント単位で設定できるとさらに良いと思います。誤って操作してしまった場合、慌ててしまいます。

Customize Collaborator Permission Levels
Any chance that we can have some flexibility in the "Collaborator Permission Levels." Can we develop a tool to edit these levels, like check which function the user can have. Having set levels with no flexibility is difficult because every user needs different access.
