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.

data quota inconsistency
Provide admins to be able to correct the issue that appears to happen quite a bit with our users data consistency. e.g users box quota is showing incorrect data than box has for them. user sees 25GB used but Box thinks it is 50GB.

Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream
Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

Being able to sort by created date instead of modified\updated.
Would be super helpful for people storing photos. If we snap a photo on our phone and then upload it to box in bulk, the date the picture was brought into box is the date shown. It would be nice to sort by file created date. You already have this date in the "file information" section when you right click on a file. Please make this available and let me know. Please please please.
thanks
Natalie.

Please update the product for support of the SSA format.

I work for two company's. I want to be able to sync both company's files on my imac. Please make that a possibility. Currently, I can only sync one company per computer. We had spotty internet connection at one time, and I was unable to go online for access to the files for the company I don't have synced.

Allow Box to work with iOS Files app without having to disable sitewide security passcodes
When using the Files App on iOS, you cannot connect to Box (as a location) if your enterprise settings require a passcode to use the Box app. Surely there must be some way to achieve this functionality without having to turn off passcode security for the whole firm.

I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder
I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.
When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Invited users only"Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Company users", "Invited users only"
3."Invited users only"If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you can use the setting of 2.
Please consider it because a lot of people will be saved.

At this point we have no plans to create powershell specific SDK. However, the Box Command Line utility can be called from within powershell which may be of help. https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/sdks/cli/
Furthermore there is some good (if a bit dated) information on how to use the Windows SDK from within Powershell here: https://community.box.com/t5/Platform-and-Development-Forum/Automating-box-processes-using-powershell-and-the-box-windows/m-p/50342

Identify ALL 'Tags' used across enterprise instance
Currently, you can search by Tags but only if you know the specific Tag label/name.
Problem is, you may not necessarily know all the Tags users within your organization are using.
Additionally, there is no standard report to which can export a list of all Folders and Files that have Tags.•Foremost, it would be nice to have a way of identifying all tags used across your organization.
•If possible, if can offer a standard report similar to Files and Folders report that indicates Tags associated to them other than using the Search or API.6 votes -

Global ability to lock all files that are opened
We want all files "locked" when opened so that any other user would be notified that the file is opened by another user and they can look in "read-only" view.
