  1. Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.

    Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

  2. Improve consistency of UX between Folder & File metadata in web app

    Right now (July 2019) in the FLMD public beta, the UX for Folder level metadata is very inconsistent (and arguably more cumbersome) than File level metadata.

    For Folder level metadata, the metadata modal only displays after clicking "Edit", which is unintuitive since most users will just be viewing and not editing the Folder metadata.

  3. Search Bar Prioritization

    Implement a feature that allows certain types of files to show up first when you use the search bar on Box. This will allow for better organization and easier access to specific client files

  4. Long Activity History to be deleted in one action

    I have Co-owner permission for a shared Excel Online file on Box, and I can delete comments one-by-one under the Activity tab, however, I would like to delete all the comments in one action.
    Could you configure Box to allow to delete the full comment history in one action?

  8. Folder Integrations not available on All Files unless user is owner

    We have an App Integration for Folders; Quick Scan. If a user has access to upload to a folder they can use Quick Scan from the Folder's More Actions, Integrations menu to scan a document directly into the folder.

    It appears, if a user is the Owner of the folder, the Integration to Quick Scan appears when accessing the Folder's More Options from the All Files area. But, if the user is not the Owner, no Folder Integrations appear. The Folder Integrations always appear if the folder More Options is accessed from a sub-folder, i.e. not the All Files area.

  9. Search issue

    1) Searching in "File and Folder names" only will display results foun in file metadata:
    https://i.imgur.com/CUHkdDQ.png

    2) Search with Russian words will display irrelevant results:
    2.1) box finds particular letters, not complete words
    2.2) box displays search results even there is no file with requested name

  10. Box Capture enhancements

    Videos recorded using Box Capture on iPad have been randomly saving with incorrect orientation for some time now. Videos will be recorded with iPad in landscape mode, but files will come out in portrait mode. I have had to manually reorient many many videos over the past few months.

    Clearing the local storage only works temporarily to fix the video rotation issue, and it eventually creeps back in. It is also odd to me that clearing the local video storage would have any effect on this. Is there some other data that is in the local storage that is gumming…

  14. better video preview engine. better video details.

    Does the video preview engine handle x264 or x265 content? The whole industry is moving to x265 so ya better consider that. Does it handle .mkv files? Most of our videos dont preview properly. It shows a still frame but clicking the play icon comes up with an error message.

    You may notice in windows when you click on a video it tells you about the video in detail like 1920x1080, video tracks x264 hi10 L5.0 audio tracks FLAC 51 (Jpn) (Eng) Subtitle tracks PGS Eng SRT Eng.

    would be nice if the details of the file showed this info…

  16. Limit a search to your Recents list

    Similar to how you can focus a search on a specific folder; it would be useful to limit a search to the items in your recents list.

  17. shared link password

    Currently there is an opportunity for Shared Links with a password to be brute force broken, as there are not any controls in place to disable after unsuccessful attempts. Two options to handle this are:
    - Implement the configuration in the Shared Link Password protection option to set the number of unsuccessful attempts
    - Implement an audit event that documents an unsuccessful Shared Link Password attempt, so that a custom implementation can monitor the unsuccessful attempts, and react accordingly.

  18. Add URLs and email addresses to collaborator invites

    We would like the ability to have a URL link and email addresses within the body of Collaboration Invites.

    Now URLs are no longer allowed, and our use case was to provide clients we’re sharing data with a link to other pages for context, and an email address for contact, like “alias@domain.com” within the email.

    As a work around, we're forced to generate our own emails manually using shared links, which is more cumbersome, prone to user error and potentially less secure.

  20. Search Box Community Help articles from the question mark menu in Box Web

    Users should be able to search for help with basic Box concepts right from the Web App.

    We suggest adding an input field to the Help (question mark) menu in Box Web.
    Users can type phrases like "shared link" or "permissions" and get lead to relevant Box community Help articles.
