Binding existing files/folders to a virtual folder for sharing
Situation
I've been working on several projects for a client, with a main folder for each project containing the project files, organised in sub folders. My client asked me if it was possible to point him to one folder that contained the neccessary files from each project for simplified access, without having to send him multiple sharing links to each folder instead.Approach
Normally I would set up that folder on my local computer, put in all the necessary files and upload it, providing a sharing link to my client.Suggestion
What if it was possible to bypass this step by creating a virtual folder where you're able to bind all neccessary files to and share this folder instead, w/o having to upload a self-made folder, with the disadvantage of doubling files on your box?If this is already a feature for pro memberships pls ignore this request! Thanks!

Using number formatting breaks if you don't want an inserted space or image to be numbered
When I try to format a document using numbering, the sequence breaks if you don't continue the format. In Word, you can restart at 1 or continue numbering if you have a new section of numbers. This forces us to use bullets instead. Sometimes, we'd actually like to use the option of numbering when we are numbering steps.

Add more details in device trust logs
If device trust is checking for a setting (for example OS version), then the logs should show the actual version detected. This should be for every setting Box enables you to validate. It should also have more detail about the login attempt (hostname (not just IP address), OS, Box Drive vs Box web vs etc).
Further there should be a new event in the logs, DEVICETRUSTCHECKPASSED, with similar details so that we know the check happened and what values Box found when authorizing the device. Only having DEVICETRUSTCHECKFAILED provides no audit trail for showing the when the device trust check is being enforced.

If Box can have a feature for contents from Box be easily migrate to our Company's Share Point site as archival items, that will be helpful.
The documents and photos for our existing stores are no longer needed to be shared with any outside vendors. We would like to migrate and archive those information within our company's share point site. Currently Box doesn't have that a feature for a easy migration. Instead, items will need to be downloaded as a zip file first. It takes time and the process is tedious. If Box can have a migrate feature that can allow the Admin to move Box content back to our desire Share Point site, that will be very helpful.. don't you all think?

Add an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.
Could you please consider adding an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.
We found Box for EMM does not include any identifier like "Box for EMM" in its User-Agent when doing authentication with MAM checked-in. We just only allow access that "Box for EMM" includes in User-Agent. Therefore, ADFS cannot determine whether an application is Box for EMM or not and the user is unable to access from Box for EMM.

Direct Link to Open File in Office Online
Currently, you can create a shared link to an Office file that will cause it to open in Box. You must then click the option to open it in Office Online.
It would be nice to have a link option that takes you directly to the page to edit the file in Office Online, while still having the file living in Box. Much like a direct download link, but instead, a direct edit link for the integration.

New UI Beta Feedback
In the new UI beta, the Dev Console and Admin Console have been pushed too far to the bottom of the page. Whenever you hover over a link in Chrome, the URL preview covers up the Admin Console link. Suggestion would be to move both up to be a section beneath the collections.

Need to update Salesforce Community Lightning Component Package to include sharing, collaboration, etc
Customers are exploring Salesforce Communities for many use cases because of the no code/low code community builder capabilities which enables speed to market and ease of administration. When looking into the AppExchange options specifically for Communities for secure file sharing, onboarding, collaboration, etc that could easily be plugged in, the Box Communities Lightning Component Pack is quickly ruled it out because of the lack of capabilities and the fact that it hasn't been updated since 2016. Most Salesforce customers are either already using Communities or are exploring Communities as a fast, no code/low code option to connect with customers, partners, and employees. To go along with this, they are looking for easy plug and play options from the AppExchange to extend the capabilities of Salesforce Communities to meet certain needs/use cases. In the area of file sharing and collaboration, Box would stand out as a secure and easy solution if the community lightning components were more updated and on par with where Box is at today with capabilities.

Set file to read only for users without editing permissions
Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.
Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

Improve exported report by showing both moves into and moves out of the folder.
If you run a User Activity report for a single folder using the 'Moved' filter and click 'Run,' the in-browser run of the results will show moves both into and out of the folder you selected.
If you build a User Activity report with the same parameters and click 'Export,' the generated spreadsheet of results will only show moves into the folder.
The report would give more thorough information if the exported report showed both moves into and moves out of the folder.

Export list of tags
We would like to be able to export of list of tags used in a given folder. Ideally, this would be in the form of a spreadsheet or Excel file that aligns tags to a file names. Also, a restricted tags list (i.e., “select only from the drop-down,” or words not on the approved tags list will not be able to be used) would be most helpful.
