Add metadata to search results in web app
Currently in the "search results" view in the web app, it is difficult to identify if an item is returned in the search result due to matching metadata. By adding matching metadata which triggered a "positive" search result to the list of search results, it will help guide the user to the correct search result. Without the matching metadata in the search results view, the metadata search query matching and filter functionality is not very useful, as users cannot tell the exact context that resulted in the search result matching. This results in users having to open all search results in new tabs, checking the item's metadata for a "good match", and then navigating back to the search results view to continue paginating through the search results.

Syncing calendar to box
We have an outlook account and a work calendar that I schedule weeks in advance. It would be great to have a way that I can link the calendar to box so that all in the company can have access to the calendar at any given moment

Set Box Drive as a Default Save Location in Windows
With box Sync we could set Box locations as default save locations. Apparently that isn't currently available with Box Drive... this would be a great feature if possible!!

The support for large contents migration Snowball(AWS) type of migration should be supported by Box.
Snowball(AWS) type of migration should be supported by Box. Especially the customers who have tons of files/folders as TB/PB level has a hard time for content to move from Windows servers to Cloud systems like Box.

adding seats emails the Admin for approval.
We need an approval action for when a co-admin tries to add more seats. Or the ability to turn off that ability while still letting them edit users.

Collapse sidebar on right hand side (Activity / Details / Metadata) by default
Give users ability to decide at either account or folder settings level whether content opens up in full screen (i.e. marketing video etc) with the side bar on right hand side collapsed by default.
They can then click if they want to open the sidebar to check on Activity / Details / Metadata

Drive and Sync
It should be impossible to have both Box Drive & Box Sync installed and working on the same machine. An install of one should automatically be impossible until the other is removed from the machine.

DLP
When copying content from Box Drive to an external volume, Sophos DLP is unable to capture information about this event.
According to the Sophos team, this is a result of Box Drive relying on a legacy file system filter driver, CBFS.
It is suggested that Box update Box Drive to work with Windows file system minifilter drivers as opposed to CBFS. That way DLP could monitor and capture these events.
Statement from Microsoft regarding legacy file system drivers as opposed to minifilter drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/blocking-file-system-filter-drivers

Box drive won't show files that don't sync
We have many department users uploading files to Box via Box drive but sometimes Box drive won't upload all the files due to a certain discrepancy. There is no error on Box drive and the only way to find this is to check for the number files on Box web as compared to the number of files on Box drive for the particular folder. This is very concerning and Box drive should either show the list of files not uploaded to Box or shouldn't allow users to upload files using Box drive. I hope there will be a fix released soon. I am also concerned with how many more customers would have been facing this issue and they may not be even aware of this discrepancy as we hardly check the total number files actually uploaded.

Quarantine Folder Customization
We'd like additional customizations for quarantine files including search, notifications, and outreach to folder owners.
Is there a way to notify the folder owner and co-owner if an item is quarantined? We don’t see anything in the Admin Console to set that.
Alternatively, is there a way to customize the quarantine email to add a contact instead of “your administrator”?

Email Upload Confirmation Failure reason
For Email Uploading to a folder, it would be nice if the confirmation email received by the sender would specify the reason for it failing so a ticket doesn't to be submitted to support for answer to that.

Box new account
Here is an idea to make Box new accounts on-boarding more user friendly.
My account team was not clear on any ETA when to expect the account to become active.
Not a single email was sent what to expect and at what time. After 2 weeks the purchased licenses were assigned to another account. After that I was told to submit a ticket to support to resolve the problem created during the initial provisioning of the account.
I have to say that's not the level of customer service I was expecting from Box.com1 vote -
Better functionality for viewing photo libraries
We have folders of photos - Box is not great either in browser or in Box Drive to review this. In Box Drive, i guess it struggles to cache all the thumbnails fast enough so it is effectively unusable
