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.

Add "new note" to long-press/3D Touch option in iOS Box app.
Creating notes in the iOS app really is clunky. As it seems sa standalone Box Notes app for mobile isn't planned, having an option to "create note" in the long press/3D touch menu would be great. At the moment i don't use Box Notes at all, my quick captures & notes go in Drafts or Evernote.

Ability to filter events by "Affected" on user activity report
We would like to have the ability to filter events by "Affected" column (currently, user and affected folder/file are only available filter options).
For e.g., for "Add login app" event, device information is logged in "Affected" column, and so having this filter option will help us identify new login from unintended devices and improve monitoring.2 votes -

Reduce number of clicks to edit/use Box Edit
Request to reduce number of clicks to edit contents
Currently, when a user wants to edit a file, they needs to preview the file and click "Open" to use Box Edit. We would like to have an option to skip preview and directly edit2 votes -

Word Document preview blurry
Text in Word document previews is awfully blurry and splotchy.
Looks as though it was rendered and then rescaled to fit the window.1 vote -
Get details on shared link without owner
Airbnb and other companies when going through a large
deprovision of accounts run into issues where someone shares a link of the file after the owner is
no longer there and the collaboration is removed. But with just the file link, there is no way for the admin to get anymore details on the file.The feature request is the ability to get more details on a file through the link.

External collaborator redundant expiration notice
If a Box folder is created in one Box org. and external collaborators are added, they’re already set to expire depending on the rules.
If you move the folder to another org., and the new org has the same domain as the added collaborators that were set to expire, they still get the expiration notice, even though they shouldn’t expire because the new org. matches the added collaborators.

Upload verification prompt for sensitive files
Just curious about adding a upload prompt, When you start the upload process you either copy and paste or browse to the file, once you click the file to upload the system automatically uploads it without prompting you to see if that is the file you actually want to upload. With sensitive content its sometimes better to verify the file to upload.

WebApp UI Change phased release for users
The ability to phase users in waves over to the new UI versus all or nothing deployment. This would be in accordance with USAA's internal release process.

Auto-refresh webapp after upload
Auto-refresh page upon upload - Currently, the ability to view/edit metadata from the folder level only works after the page has been refreshed following an upload. It would be good to have the page automatically refresh after upload.

Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"
To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.
28 votesThank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

The menu of actions [link/comment] on text selection is confusing
After trying to post a link, and by mistake making a comment instead, I realized that that my confusion is caused by the fact that in HTML, you insert a link with <a> as the first character... so the icon Box presents for a comment should not have "a" in it.

Web Interface Search Bug
The web interface won't let you select filters or check boxes from the pop-up menu when searching using Safari. Seems like a bug, as it used to work.
1 voteHowdy! Thank you for the flag. Since this is a bug report, we will share it with our Product Support team.

Sharing Content to Alternate Email Address
Currently when sharing content via email address, if the address used is a secondary email on their account, the UX is to show that the email address is for an external user, rather than a user in your box tenant. Additionally, the full name of the user does not resolve, leading users to believe that the address they selected is inaccurate.
All alternate email addresses should be treated as searchable attributes that bring up the user profile rather than just the primary.

List View of Marked For Offline Files
It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.
