Ability to block users from downloading files on computer so as to protect proprietary information.
We want users to be able to ONLY download files on box app on ipad (which has ability to not share). but doing so- currently it provides a download option on box.com also which a user can go to any external computer and log in and download files which is a violation for using proprietary files. So Admin an option to restrict user access to download files only on box app.

High quality watermarked PDF downloads.
I'm not sure where this should go, but the current feature that allows downloads to be watermarked is great, except the quality of the downloaded document is not great. It is very difficult to read because the resolution changes when the watermark is applied. In fact, it's so bad in our case that the service is not usable and we have to find a different service to watermark PDFs for our downloaders. It would be great if you could find a way to improve the quality of the PDF when a watermark is applied. Thank you.

Add options to control cache size on Box Drive for mac/windows
In particular, there should be a setting to specify the maximum cache size, or an option to have it be up to a certain percentage of free disk space (eg 30% by default, similar to the iPhone app). There should also be a screen that shows how much disk space the cache is currently using and a button to clear the cache with one click.

Ability to sync individual files,
The ability to sync an individual file would be very useful. I often just need a few files if i'm on a flight for example and don't need the whole folder. Copying into a new folder just to sync an individual file is not a great solution.

Can you modify the text in the prompt whenever sharing/collaborating with external users?
On the prompt page just below the continue button, can you change this "Not a part of Universal Service Administrative Company?" to “No, I am not part of Universal Services Administrative Company". Can you make it a hyperlink to enable external users to see and click on it ? The status quo now is creating a lot of confusion when collaborating with external users.

Automate email address for box folders
Our system automatically creates a box folders for each opportunity. In order to create an email for the folder we have to manually go into setting and create the email.
Can we have an option in the admin console to automate this?

Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention
For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:
1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane. For example, if flying on Southwest, activity is going to be reported as coming from Westlake Village, CA, because that's where the whois info for Row44 points. It is obviously impossible to determine a real location for Row44-based internet access, so it would be preferable for Box to identify this as actual "Airplane ISP" or something along those lines, a special category that does not have a geographic location, because then it would be easy to screen users who were known to be traveling on specific dates.
2) Unfortunately integration activity reports as coming from the service provider's IP space instead of the user who initiated the activity. This becomes a huge problem if you're using the Box to Microsoft Office 365 integration, because every single file your staff edit with an Office Online tool is going to create activity logged to a Microsoft IP, and in many cases, Azure-space, which can include both Microsoft corporate services as well as end user services. This means you really have little to no chance of determining if a given access was malicious from a compromised end user server in Microsoft land, or one of your real staff simply using Excel Online.
I assume there's some session tracking / data exchange allowing Box to determine the access is being authorized / performed by a legit user, from a specific IP; I'd prefer the activity be attributed to that user's IP, or at least have it as an option.
3) Some of the geolocation data seems to simply be wrong, while also not based on whois / IRR data, so I have no idea where it came from. This seems to be mostly associated with large internet providers, wireless, CenturyLink, Comcast, etc. That would suggest the source of the data is not particularly good. MaxMind seems to do a much better job at this; perhaps Box can consider using them to supply the data instead of whomever is supplying it currently.
For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate.

Request for Supporting HTML tags for File Request.
Currently, there is no way to add HTML tags(i.e line break) into the title and instructions for “Customer’s Option” in the File Request
due to the explicitly prevented for security concerns. Since we cannot use line break for instructions, it is hard to read if the customer enter long sentence for the instructions.9 votes -

Visibility and controls on externally owned content
Box admins should be able to restrict their users from uploading or moving sensitive content to folders that are owned by another Box instance. There should be controls around what defines sensitive content. Box admins should have visibility into what's uploaded or moved into the external folders in reports.
