Add 'Only I Sign' Adobe Sign Feature
Add the 'Only I Sign' feature in Adobe Sign, where only they sign a document. Currently this only works if they download it from Box and then re-upload it into Adobe's workflow, but they want to keep all of their users working in Box only. They also have lots of documents that only need the signature of one person.

Editor permissions without delete function
Recently, we had a user delete a very important and large folder that housed 1.4 TB of client data. We have looked into changing permissions for all users to Viewer Uploader from Editor to prevent this from happening again, but this also takes away the ability to MOVE files/folders as well. We would like there to be an option for a role to be introduced that would allow users to have all functions of Editor just WITHOUT the ability to delete.

Provide enterprise configuration of folder metadata cascade
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would allow viewing/editing/adding folder level metadata without also enabling the ability to cascade metadata.
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would limit the ability to initiate cascading metadata to owners and co-owners.
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would limit the ability of a template to be cascaded.

Self CC
When emailing a BOX item to another user, many of our users like to also add themselves in the recipient list. Used to be that your own, personal email would populate within the drop-down, predictive list, and now it no longer seems to. More a quality of life change, but we've heard many times that users would like to see their own email populate in this list, again.

Link to searchable files on a website.
Want a public facing search function that can be deployed on websites with Box as the back end.
Use Case: I have several hundred newsletters in an archive in PDF format. I want a public facing link or window that the public can see without having to login into Box.
The Box embed widget gives me a window BUT is not a good user experience. They don't need to be dragging one cloud onto another or logging into box.
Box is great for storing and updating these files--but not for a public facing display.1 vote -

box for individual
Add more plan options for individuals. 100GB is not enough to store hardly any of my data.

Make login screen text easier to edit
In the admin console, there's a "Login Page" section, where it's possible to set a message that appears for all users on the Box login page. Currently, editing/formatting that message requires both access to the admin console, a knowledge of HTML, and an understanding of which HTML tags are and are not valid in that message.
As the information posted as a part of that message is often something that comes from communications staff, not technical staff, those barriers to editing it are significant. It would be nice if there was both a way to delegate the editing of that message to another user, as well as a WYSIWYG editor for it.
As one idea, if there was a BoxNote that could be the source of that message, that would work well.

Add metadata to search results in web app
Currently in the "search results" view in the web app, it is difficult to identify if an item is returned in the search result due to matching metadata. By adding matching metadata which triggered a "positive" search result to the list of search results, it will help guide the user to the correct search result. Without the matching metadata in the search results view, the metadata search query matching and filter functionality is not very useful, as users cannot tell the exact context that resulted in the search result matching. This results in users having to open all search results in new tabs, checking the item's metadata for a "good match", and then navigating back to the search results view to continue paginating through the search results.

Block root shared folder renaming
I found it very disappointing when every user with editor's permissions can rename (and probably even delete) root folders. This is the absolutely most typical scenario with shared folders, and everything from cheapest NAS to Azure Sharepoint can prevent renaming (or worse deleting) root folders.
I really miss the typical R/W user - Editor without permissions to delete/rename the root folder.

Expose user's last activity date and last login date via API
The Box CLI:GET commandlet is a good tool but if it could grab more basic information, it would be great.. For my company, we would like to see the Last Activity and Last Login of an end user's Box Account. This would help us determine when to de-provision a Box Account after we can verify it hasn't been used in X amount of time.

Syncing calendar to box
We have an outlook account and a work calendar that I schedule weeks in advance. It would be great to have a way that I can link the calendar to box so that all in the company can have access to the calendar at any given moment

Set Box Drive as a Default Save Location in Windows
With box Sync we could set Box locations as default save locations. Apparently that isn't currently available with Box Drive... this would be a great feature if possible!!

Add column for Modified date, and allow sorting on it.
It would be really handy to be able to add a column for and sort based on "Modified date" field. Currently the "Updated" column is not useful if you are doing content migrations from outside sources. While the files maintain the "modified date", they get an "Updated date" of the day it was migrated.
We are considering migrating our existing LAN contents to Box. Our users frequently need to sort on last modified date. We are uploading all data to Box and retaining the original date stamps where possible. Sorting is key.
64 votesDue to other higher priorities, we are not considering this item at this time.

The support for large contents migration Snowball(AWS) type of migration should be supported by Box.
Snowball(AWS) type of migration should be supported by Box. Especially the customers who have tons of files/folders as TB/PB level has a hard time for content to move from Windows servers to Cloud systems like Box.
