Ability to sync specific folder manually on Marking for Offline only if needed.
Ability to sync specific folder manually for Marking for Offline only if needed.
And, Drive should be added new icons for this.
When PC comes online, if the latest version is available, something icons on folders indicates you can get a new update on the folder.
it would be very helpful to notice them need to update on the folder.
This feature would help to reduce network usage between PC and Box.3 votes -
Attribute dropdown list for performing Metadata searches in Box
We need a way to search for assets with metadata WITHOUT having to manually enter in the values into the Advanced Search tool.
Without this important feature, users are forced to have to know beforehand or remember the values associated with each metadata atttribute.
If someone had no idea which values to input into the search tool to search for assets, then how would they perform a search?2 votes -
Moving and Copying Files
When you are moving or copying a file, I wonder if its possible to have some of your "recent" destination folders with hot links. As it stands, if you have complexity in your file system, it defaults to the source folder. This would save a fair bit of time. Just like the 5 most recent folders you copied files to.

Timestamp in File Names to Match Owner's Timezone Setting
When we upload files with same file name via the file request link, time stamp will be automatically added to end of the file name(uploaded time).
It is written in UTC+0000.We would like a setting to make this timestamp match the owners account timezone

Upon folder upload via web or Drive, if any files fail due to file/path name limit, provide a list of those files
When a file path exceeds 255 characters, the file would in some circumstances (e.g on Windows), fail from upload. When an entire folder is moved, there is no way of knowing if or how many files may have failed to upload. This is due to OS limitation, but a Box notification or a report could at least allow a manual transfer or shortening the names of the impacted files.

@'ing box groups in comments
Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.38 votesThank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

We have 700+ users. There should be an easy way that an admin or co-admin can notify everyone.
Example: say we need to do some maintenance and would like to notify all of our users. Right now I was told the only way to do this is to email everyone or share a link with everyone. With over 700+ users that would be a LOT of emailing or sharing. Can you please create a way we can send out a notification to our whole enterprise?

Change login flow of desktop apps so it does not use default browsers
Box Notes also uses the same login flow as Box Drive - which uses the default browsers to login (IE for Windows, Safari for Mac).
We have Windows and our Idp cannot use IE for the login process. We would like to request support for using other browsers or a different login process that does not require IE.

Ability to export list of sub-folders when users select a parent folder.
Customer collaborate with external venders to share files and folders. In order to manage which folders and files received from external venders, the customer has to keep track records by using other system. Currently, users enter which date they received from which venders by manually. It is very helpful to export list of sub-folders in csv format to import this file to another system.

As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console
I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.
I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.
I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.
My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

In China we have to use (redacted) as box.com is blocked, and after few weeks not logining (Box Alternate domain)
One of our vendor can’t login box with his own company email account. And then can’t share file with him to update.
I found he can’t see the “i’m not a robot” after login (Box Alternate domain) to fill in password as he doesn’t have VPN enabled
after i use his account to login and validated this， he can then login normally.
Looks if you don’t use box for few weeks, it will ask you to validate via this google authentication way which he can’t see it without VPN.
How to fix this for china users if they can't use VPN?

Shield reports suspicious IP location when opening files through O365. Adds lots of unnecesary noise
In Shield, when a user previews/opens a file to Office Online it tracks as a suspicious IP location. It would be great if it could be separated and designated a lower priority than a genuine account compromise. Just a suggestion to clean up the Shield alert queue

File Shortcuts
I want to be able to have file shortcuts. They are just pointers to a file that can be placed in other folders throughout the file system. This makes it seem like there are copies of the file in multiple folders and all of the copies get updated whenever one gets updated because its actually one file with a bunch of references pointing to it.

Map Trash on Box.com to Box Drive App
This is very useful to users who deleted a file accidentally on Box Drive App to recover it without opening Box.com.
I once deleted one file through Box Drive, and it prompted that it would be deleted permanently and Stop me from undoing. I did not realize that it still can be retrieved from Box.com. If we have a Trash folder on Box Drive App that maps to the Trash on Box.com. That would be fantastic.

Popups
When someone who is not logged in and doesn't have an account uses a public link to a folder in order to download a file, they get a popup that says "Your download is in progress," but at the bottom it says "In the meantime, log in to Box to save files you view in your Recents and upload, share and comment on the content you care about most."
That text is very misleading and is confusing people when they're just trying to download files. Can I disable that popup? If not, I strongly urge you to revise the way that looks. People are interpreting it as a requirement that they sign in or sign up in order to download files. Very misleading!

Remove 100 "to_user_ids" limit of WebhookV1.
With webhook V1, we have the upper bound of 100 users in "touserids" field for each notification, so when a webhook has too many recipients (that is, more than 100 users are to be set in "touserids" field), we send multiple webhook notification for a single event so "touserids" is kept within 100 users for each notification.
For e.g. if an upload event was to trigger notification to 1000 recipients, we send 10 webhook notifications to the notification url with 100 users embedded in "touserids" field of each notification.
This causes duplicate notifications be sent to notification url although we only want to receive a single notification for a single event. We want this 100 users limit expanded so we can avoid this.

Popup
After I edit a file, a green notification popup is displayed telling me I just edited the file. This popup follows me around and prohibits me from clicking links (edit file e.g.) until I close it. While somewhat minor, it is rather annoying to have to close each popup notification, when moving about and editing multiple files. Thanks.
