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.
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 -

Automatically classify content based off uploader of document. Use case: anything a legal team member uploads should automatically be classified as confidential

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＞

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.

Shared link - colour code the link icon to advise who it is shared with Public, invited only etc
Currently if a file or folder has shared link enabled it, it places a blue symbol between the file name and last updated date. You have 2 options to see what the shared link is enabled as either by clicking onto the link symbol and it shows the properties of the enabled link or highlighting the folder/file and looking at details on the right hand side.
It would be better if the symbol was perhaps a different colour to show it was the different status e.g blue -invited only - green - people in your company - red -public
or if you hoovered over the link instead of just say copy shared link it states what the share setting is.
I think the colour option is better as it advises you straight away without having to do anything

brandfolder alternative - publish large files from creative team without involving a web developer to update the page
Brandfolder helps your brand easily give access to journalists wanting to write about your brand, a good example https://brandfolder.com/finisswim. On the front page of their website https://www.finisswim.com/ it shows a brandfolder icon to direct them to this link.
I want box to be able to make a folder public and let journalists have access to all the files we put in this folder. Box has this functionality - it's just not so elegant.
1) it doesn't display just the photos in GRID view. It shows the filenames, when it was uploaded, and my graphic designer's name, and the file size. All info that doesn't need to be there - we want to show the full graphic instead of some chopped version of the photo that currently displays.
2) the detail info on the right is not necessary - we just want to show pretty pictures and if they click on the pictures, it can be downloaded.

Shared Link options via Outlook.
We want to be able to select Shared Link options via Outlook.
For example, the default setting of [Shared Link] is “People in ***(company name)”.
Other Shared Link options (Ex: People with the link) cannot be selected, when users “Attach from Box” via Outlook.It would be more convenient for users if they can change Shared Link options via Outlook (without opening Box Web App).

Meta Data
Two Recommendations;
1) When a file or folder has metadata applied, having a ICON on record (similar to a shared link or description) be visible.. Currently you don't know UNLESS you select the item and do to details to see if template has been applied.2) When metadata is applied, showing the metadata values when you select the record similar go to Details would be be great.
When using Metadata the file or folder where the metadata is applied should clearly show (like a shared link or description) that met2 votes -
Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
45 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!
