  2. Requesting functionality to recognize an existing file name (upon upload of a new file) and option to override or save with a new name.

    Issue: End users may have documents coming in via email / etc. about a deal or a client that have the same name. When saving to Box from email, if the file has the same name as an existing file it is currently saved as a new version of that file. In reality, the document may be completely different. On Windows file server, they are used to having a prompt warning them that a file already exists with that name, with an option to either save & override the file or change the file name. They'd like to have an…

  3. Folder-Level Collaborator Reporting: Ability to run a report of which internal and external collaborators are added to an item

    Users should be able to run a report of any folder they are an owner or co-owner of to see the list of external collaborators. This would be nice so they could periodically review it and remove stale collaborations.

  4. Shared links control for primary admin

    Create a primary admin only setting that will delete all shared links for an entire enterprise. Trying to enforce an expiration date for all shared links in the enterprise and all the current solutions are not scalable and are very time consuming.

  5. File name changing

    With the latest update - you can't change file name until you make the printing really small. Please stop making so many updates without testing them first. I'm a paying customer.

  8. Stop auto text

    Box needs to stop auto text when attempting to type in the search bar. Proper nouns and acronyms are pretty standard in business and constantly changing what we type into the search bar is enraging and a huge waste of time.

  9. Manage Permissions directly on the folder in Box Drive

    Add ability to review/manage colloborators on Box folders through right click on context menu of Box Folder, when Box Drive is online. It's not efficient to go into Box Online to do this .

    Thank you for your feedback! At this time, we cannot prioritize this feature request, however, we will keep this in mind for future iterations of our account creation experience.

  11. Default Column Size for all Folders

    Currently the default column size in Box Drive for the Name column is very small and users have to resize the name column in each folder. Is there a way to apply a default column size for all folders in Box Drive for all users?

  12. Ability to PAUSE during an audio recording in BOX CAPTURE

    During an audio recording, be able to PAUSE, then continue with same recording - so all audio is contained in same audio file (for transcription) Example; audio interviews; record intro with identifying information, including confidential ID, pause recording, then invite interviewee into interview, then re-start recording. When we send these files for transcription the confidential identifying information is included at the beginning of each file - but the interviewee is not aware of the confidential ID.

  13. Hide Folder (and nested folders) in UI

    When using Box for NetSuite V1 we were able to hide the entire NetSuite folder from the UI so that users could only access the content via the NetSuite UI. V2 doesn't have this option, which means that users can see any folders they were ever able to access in NetSuite, even if their permissions have since been restricted.

    We should be able to have folders accessible through the NetSuite UI only.

  16. Create a org wide "Trash" bin

    Provide a Main Trash Area that allows you to see at an org level what was deleted and who delete it. Would want to be able to search the content and restore files/folders as needed. As it exists today you can only view a report showing the details or view each individual users trash items which does not provide an efficient way to monitor or restore data.

  17. Improve Box Drive memory usage

    Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

  18. Web Clipper

    As a user, I would like to bookmark or clip webpage into box. There are two issues on the current "Box Bookmark" as following.

    1. Box Bookmark needs 2 copy&paste motions (URL and Name) when trying to save a page
    2. Box Bookmark may be unaccessible when webpage is not available so it should give an option as a screenshot

  19. Expose Metadata (EXIF, Codec, Duration, DPI, Resolution, Rating, etc.) with a "Properties" or "Get Info" like appraoch

    Both Windows and macOS can easily expose more info - this includes the rich metadata in any kind of file.

    It'd be nice to have an "All Properties" or "More Info" type of file that displays a files full metadata.

    This data is already baked into the file and only needs to be exposed or indexed for display/searching.

    Examples:
    EXIF (camera, model, photographer, exposure settings, etc.), IPTC (keywords, location, description), Movie FPS, Movie Duration, Movie Codec, Movie Audio Channel Count, Image Resolution, Image DPI, Office Document Author, etc.

    Workflow:
    User looking for specific video could find all clips longer than…

  20. Add refresh button to Box Drive

    Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.
