Classification definition
Currently when classifying a document it is only possible to see the top 2-3 lines and is not rich text therefore doesn't support returns, bold type, links, bulleted lists or colour.
While the full 300 characters are displayed in the details pane, Users need to see all the details prior to applying the classification.REQUEST: To make the dropdown either expandable (i.e. 'show more') or to show the full 300 character classification definition and to make the definition field 'Rich Text' so its possible to give more context to the classification e.g. provide a list of example documents or link…

Office Online Only Setting
A setting that folder owners could implement that makes it so the document can only be opened/edited with Office Online.
38 votesShield's download and print restrictions can prevent non owner/co-owner collaborators from downloading sensitive content based on classification and still allow them to open/edit the file with Office Online.

Add the feature for documents to upload as a new version when they are dragged directly over an existing document in box!!!!
To avoid having to save new version of documents, you should allow users to drag documents (from an email for example) onto another document in box. This would then prompt you to, "upload new version" or "upload separate document". This would save users the pain of having to download new versions to their computers before selecting the "upload new version" feature.

Alert when Password Reset is coming due
We have our users set to reset every 90 days. We find this consitently sneaks up on our users and they end up with expired passwords and then have to reach out to our IT department for assistance. This is mainly an issue with our Drive or Mobile app only users. Your website handles it well if they use the website they will be prompted. If they are on the Mobile app it stays logged in and breaks. (Shows folders and can be navigated but unable to see files) I would greatly appreciate it if we at least had to…

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.

suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin
Suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin, so Box admin can review all the items have been deleted from all users, because currently Box admin can only see the trash items per each user in "content" tab, or have to generate the report for that. So it's not really convenient. Please put this as new feature request in your road map. Thanks.

"Comments" - Feed to read most recent at the top/oldest at the bottom
To make the "comments" feature more easier to read and follow as a team. It would be great if we have the option/it was the default for the most recent comments to appear at the top, and the oldest to appear at the bottom. This would prevent people from needing the extra step of scrolling all the way down to keep up to date/missing something because they didn't scroll.
We're trying to persuade the team to use this feature more and it would really help with this.

Sort Drive Search results by metadata
Currently you are unable to sort results in Drive Search, and you need to rely on searching based on keywords and sorting through the limited results. It would be helpful to sort on available metadata, similar to a traditional File Explorer, like name and last modified in order to better find that content we are looking for.

Past/Completed Tasks and Comments Deletion
Completed tasks stay in the activity chain on any given file. This along with a long list of comments stalls the activity window while it tries to cache all of the past and current comments and tasks. Currently we have our users deleting old comments but we can't delete completed tasks. We need a way to delete old history in the activity window for any given file or your system needs to cache the activity so it appears instantly, sometimes it takes more than five minutes to be able to make new comments/tasks around a file.

Ability to attach a metadata template to a note template
We would like a way of creating a note template bound to a metadata template. I’ve followed the instructions to create the template and to attach metadata. However, when creating a note using that custom template, there are no metadata attached by default. I want to avoid having to add the metadata template each time after creating a note.

symlink support
Would be most excellent to add support for symbolic links in uploads 🙏
Motivation
We archive and share private pre-releases of iOS frameworks on Box. These frameworks inherently contain symbolic links. So when they're downloaded, the symbolic link pointing to the true header directory is borked and Xcode is unable to compile the given framework.On the plus side, lack of this support is good incentive for us to move to a better distribution system for these frameworks.
See details on community ticket for current Box symlink behavior details:

Choose location for files marked for offline
Similar to Box Sync, would love to be able to choose a specific location for files marked for offline use in Box Drive. At least we could see the thumbnail previews.

Increase the start-up speed of Box Drive. It is SOOO slow to start!
Every time I have to restart my computer it takes Box Drive a good 5-10 minutes to start. This is unacceptable for such a large enterprise like this. Even accessing my offline files cannot be done until Box Drive completely starts.
