Option to have approval process for sharing a folder or file.
In some folders, you want to allow, shared links, but would like to have some management oversight of this process. It would be beneficial at a parent folder level (and therefore cascading to all children folder) to have the option to "request to share file" in addition to the other functions related to restricting link creation or collaborator invitation.
Instead of relying on the "appropriate party" to be configured to receive notifications that an item has been shared, this would allow them to be ahead of the curve before a share is actually created.1 vote -
View and configure enterprise webhooks in the UI
Provide a UI where we can see the webhooks that have been created across our enterprise applications. We have had some webhooks deleted because of users deleting folders or webhooks. Also, we have a case where a webhook stopped triggering. After calling the 'list all webhooks' api, we don't see that webhook created. No one has deleted it so it's difficult to understand what happened to this webhook trigger.

Preview Adobe Illustrator 2020 Files
Use Adobe Illustrator 2020 file preview to show quick view or preview in file browser on Box. Rather than this message "We’re sorry, the preview didn’t load. Please re-upload the file or contact Box support." Please? Pretty please?

box-ui-elements content-explorer needs real thumbnails
The Content Explorer element needs at least the option to use actual
file thumbnails rather than the generic ones based on file type
currently shown. Otherwise browsing large collections of images and
videos is very cumbersome to the point of not even being worthwhile. The
API appears to have a thumbnail/representation endpoint so using it from
content-explorer seems like a no-brainer.8 votes -
We would like to be able to edit inserted preview shared link materials with Office Online within a Box Note.
Recently, a function to embed a preview of a shared link in Box Note has been released, this feature makes it easier to use files for meetings. On the other hand, we would like to be able to edit everything within the Box Note to complete our processes without having to open another program.

Identify files that fail to sync using Box Sync
In my experience - Box Sync on Windows 10 - I often run into messages "N files could not be synced" - usually because a Mac user saved a file with a name Windows can't handle. If it's only one file, it tells me the name, but if it's more than one, it only shows the number. I would go into Box to rename the files - however, I cannot find any way to identify the offending one. Would love an option on Box Sync that showed the set of files that are throwing sync errors.

Change Shared Link name from People in your company to People in your university or organization for Higher Education users.
Current naming for Shared Link option is not appropriated for Higher Education. There is People in your company option for Shared Link. Change Shared Link name from People in your company to People in your university or organization for Higher Education users.

Bulk attach Box files via email
Having to add files to my email one at a time is a horrible user experience and a waste of time. Let me add more than one file at a time.

Notifications of login activity sent by email should state the timezone used
Emails with login activity sent by Box are not in the local time and the actual timezone is not stated. I have been advised by Box these notifications are in Pacific Time. It would be useful if timezones could be identified in emails sent by Box - when trying to determine if there have been illegitimate logins, knowing the correct time is critical.

Ability to automatically convert Unicode @ (atmark) to single byte
When non-English users try to use @mention in comment or annotation, they often type @ (atmark or at sign) character with their native language (mostly double bytes, Unicode).
Just like other cloud services (like Slack), please add ability to automatically recognize and convert double bytes atmark to single byte atmark for non-English user conveniences and to help drive user adoption of these features.
Reference for at sign character code (Wikipedia):

Box and Zendesk Integration
Many companies are using the capabilities of Zendesk.
There is a 500MB limit for uploading Zendesk free plans.So I'd like to use Box's shared link when uploading material to Zendesk.
It will be more convenient if you can select Box folders and files from Zendesk like Box for Office.I hope this feature will be implemented in the near future.

Better contrast & saturation on Preview
A better representation of the PDF preview would be helpful for designers when sending files for clients to preview.
Clients often just look at the preview and have questions about the color when the download has the correct representation.

Select folders from hard drive to sync with box
Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.

Select folders from hard drive to sync with box
It would be very convenient to have an application that would allow a person to go in from their Windows Explorer to flag folders that already exist on the hard drive that would be synced and updated on Box. I would strongly prefer this to having to sync things the other way around, as I consider my hard drive to be my "home base". For instance, I would like to just right-click on my work folder located on my hard drive, and then select an option that would flag it to be synced with my box account so that any new files or changes would be saved to both my hard drive (in that original location), as well as to my Box account.

We would like to have the ablilty to create two folders in different places within our BOX environment and for these two folder to stay sync
We would like to have the ability to create two folders in different places within our BOX environment and for these two folder to stay sync'd. If we add a file into one folder it is added to the other folder also. If we remove a file from one of the folders it is removed from the other folder. What ever change takes place in one folder is duplicated in it's sync'd folder

Ability to accept invitation request to “Join Enterprise” via Mobile app
We would like a way to see and accept invitation request for “Join Enterprise,” not only in Web browsers but also in Mobile [Box for iOS/Android] too.
At the moment, users are unable to confirm and click “Accept” for the invitation request, when they log-in via [Box for iOS/Android].
When there are many users who uses iPads only, it would take so much time and effort for them to access to Box via Web browser everytime, only to accept the invitation.11 votes -
Report on who has Box Sync enabled from User Permissions
Admins can enable Box Sync per individual user under the Permissions in the Users&Groups tab in the Admin Console. I would like a report that can pull which users has Box Sync enabled.

Add hardware token security for 2FA
Yubikeys and similar devices allow for hardware token security and are highly recommended. We want to implement it across devices (ipad, iphone, android, MacOS, Windows) and this must include Box

How can we use Yubikeys with Box.com ? What are your plans on this?75 votesSupport for FIDO2/WebAuthn security key for authentication into Box is currently in development

Enable opening of objects with long folder paths
In Box Sync, you were able to open files regardless of path length - there was sometimes an issue with saving long path files, but not with opening.
In Box Drive, you cannot open files with long path lengths...which is obviously a problem for any organization that uses a deep folder structure.
Solely seeking feature parody between box sync and box drive...
