  1. End collaboration for multiple files

    It would be really useful it we could end collaboration on multiple files at once, rather than having to select each file individually.

  2. Export search results data (as CSV or Excel) and/or files

    There may be times when you just want to see a list of the hits without looking at the actual files, or download the files themselves without the details

  3. Watermark of PDF and Excel files

    We are not able to use watermark of PDF and Excel files on mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. We would like to use this feature.

  4. Please create navigation to split "shared with me" files and folders from my own files and folders, similar to OneDrive.

    Please, please, create a separate view on the web to just showcase files and folders that are shared with me; rather than files/folders that are of my ownership. Similar to what other file storage providers offer, like OneDrive.

  5. Ability to print PDF documents without downloading

    In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).

    As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.

    The current user path for printing a PDF is:
    1. Open a PDF in box webapp
    2. download…

  6. Add # of files to Box Hubs Report

    Box Hubs fails if there are over 10,000 files linked to in the hub. It would be helpful to have a report that could report the total number of files available in a hub to help ensure we stay below this limit and/or if we exceed this limit, we can move content to a different hub and judge the impact of moving specific folders to better balance the load.

  7. Provide a way to "pause" syncing of files marked for offline

    Allow a use to stop/pause syncing of files that are marked for offline access. We have multiple users who travel and are on metered connections but still need access to the internet and their offline files.

  8. Indexing Box Drive Offline Files

    I have access to a number of folders that I don't need frequently (if at all), but I do have a select group of folders that I use daily, and I keep these stored as files available offline. I recently migrated from a computer that used Box Sync to a computer using Box Drive, and I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't search my offline files using the windows file explorer. Instead, I'm forced to use the Box Drive search window, which requires that I search ALL of my folders, which frustrates many of my directed searches.

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    We’ll keep this in mind! However, this is not currently planned. Let us know additional use cases which this would resolve.

  10. Password Protect Folders and Files

    I'd love the option to Password-protect folders and files as this is something that Dropbox currently does.

    When you password-protect files through Dropbox, you guarantee that only the people you want to access your files can get to them.

    Before anyone can view or download a document, they need to enter the password you set to protect the document.

  11. Ability to rotate multi-page TIFF files in Box Preview

    For scanning use cases, Content is typically scanned into Box as a TIFF file that can have multiple pages. For review purposes, it would be great to have the ability to rotate individual apges of the TIFF file if they were scanned incorrectly. Otherwise, end users have to download the multi-page TIFF file to rotate files. For our use case, downloading files to local disk should be avoided because of the sensitivity of the files.

  12. Alias files/ links to files

    Oftentimes, a file has more than just one "right place" within a folder structure.
    For example, if you have a folder for the HR-department and a folder for the legal-team, both teams need to access the subfolder "employment contracts".
    On local Windows Explorer or Apple Finder it is possible to create alias-files that link to the "main-file", so you can access a file from multiple locations.
    Such a feature is not available in Box. Since it is cruicial for files that needs to be accessed from different locations/ teams, I am asking you to implement this feature.

    Thank you!

  14. Add Classification and Metadata information to Folders and Files Report

    When running the folders files report, have it list out the classification tag that is added to each file, along with any metadata information that has been added.

  15. Limits for simultaneous file uploads and Batch processing capability

    I usually upload folders. Each folder could have 1 or 2 files, or 6 or 7 files, or more. When it's just 1 or 2, everything is fine, but when there are 4 or more, they seem to eat up my bandwidth. It would help if there was a limit within Box to control how many files upload simultaneously. Additionally, having a true batch process would be very helpful. That would allow me to line up several folders to upload and each one would upload in turn.

  18. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  19. Ability to Annotate / Markup Files (documents, images, etc.)

    Users can currently comment on files, and this request is to extend that functionality to allow users to add annotations to specific locations within a document or file.

    Specific types of annotations to support:
    — Drawing (e.g., circles, arrows, freehand, etc.)
    — Point
    — Highlight

  20. No "print" option like in Box Notes

    There's no way to export or print the Canvas. This ability exists in Miro, so if Canvas were to offer this, we could likely cut out our Miro licenses. This ability exists today in Box Notes, so it would make sense for it to be available in Canvas as well.
