Allow access to account details in admin console regardless of billing
Please fix the access to the billing site.
I'm trying to access my account details to see when we have to renew. All I get is that the page has expired. How can I access it?

Option for condensed/compact UI
Please consider an option for a condensed Web UI (similar concept to Gmail's cozy/compact): smaller icons, less white space, options to eliminate interface elements like the sidebar. It would be nice to be able to fit more information (filenames, file lists, etc.) on the screen.

Notification for Incompatible Characters in file and folder names
We've run into issues with end users not being able to access content from Box Drive because the file or folder is created with a character that it is incompatible with Microsoft's file explorer.
Could you add in a pop-up visual in the web view that points out when you're using a character that will not be accessible from Box Drive?

Prevent users to change their own permission level
Prevent users to cange their own permission level in order to avoid "downgrading" the permission from Co-Owner to Viewer (for example) just for yourself.
Or not allowing a user to remove himself/herself from a folder.

Don't ignore dotfiles. Allow users to specify names or patterns to ignore.
Many files that start with a period are not meant to be ignored (.gitignore, .emacs, .Rhistory, .RData). Box should ignore only filesystem-specific files such as .DS_Store, and sync everything else. Better yet, allow users to specify the filenames or patterns that should be ignored.

Can we connect our box account to Notion?
Notion is a very helpful note application that provides components such as databases, kanban boards, calendars and reminders. It's very easy to use them as a task manager for teamwork. Our team like Box and put all our files on Box, but the function of Box Notes is a little bit limited. We have to use other apps to assign work and manage the tasks, but sometimes these tasks is related to some files. I hope Box can support the account connection to Notion or maybe add some more functions like @ member or task dashboard in Box Notes.

Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link
For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.
Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.

Ability to prevent users from adding/deleting files and folders of a specific folder without affecting that folder's sub-folders
Example: I have a top level folder called 'Top'. Inside that folder I have two other folders 'A' and 'B'. I would like to prevent users from adding and deleting content in the 'Top' folder but still allow them to add and delete content in folders 'A' and 'B'.

BoxDrive app for Windows better error messages visible to users
We are trying to troubleshoot BoxDrive connectivity issues and the only error it generates now is "Verify that you are connected to the internet and restart Box Drive". This error is not specific enough to start the troubleshooting process. BoxDrive for Windows needs to have a better error messages shown to the users if it's an issue with network connectivity, user authentication or any other issue.

Improve ability to see created tags and select tags
Need to be able to see and select tags that we have created. Right now we just have to guess what tags we have. And hope that we're spelling them correctly. Right now this lack of functionality is going to force us to keep looking for a tool to manage assets for a team.
46 votesThank you for your feedback! At this time, we are still researching this experience but do not have it planned on the roadmap.

File Request Scripting
Customer would like to use File Request instead of FTP, however, there is no way to script a automatic process to upload via file request.
We have a vendor that needs to upload files to us. They have an automated/scripted process using FTP so wanted to know if there was a way to do the same via File Request, otherwise it would be a manual process.

Share Modal
The dropdown when you click a Share button to invite someone displays the permission descriptions. The dropdown when you click the person already in a folder does not. It would be nice to have consistency across the UI. Anytime a collaborator appear listed and I click on their permissions, it should include the fin text explaining what each permissions allows them to do.

Sync multiple accounts to Box Drive
Allow multiple accounts to sync with Box Drive.
Many of us have multiple corporate/personal accounts that require local drive sync'd access.55 votesWe’re not planning a ‘fast switch’ option to allow a user to easily switch between 2 different Box accounts on Box Drive while maintaining all cached data. The only option we have now is that users can ‘logout’ of their current account and sign into another account, but the caveat is that this will delete all their local cached data/MFO settings from Box Drive

'Email shared link' button, prominent in the UI like it used to be
Provide an 'Email shared link' button, prominent in the UI like it used to be
2 votesThanks for the feedback. Decluttering the top action bar and leaving the top user actions is one of the major goal of our new UI. Currently, you can click on the “Share” button for the file, and the “Email” icon within the share window.
