Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders
Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.

Redtail
Redtail is one of the most prolific CRM systems for financial advisors. (Roughly 25% market share)
However there doesn't seem to be an integration with Box.
Would be great to have links to client files in Redtail

Detailed Email Notifications
Hi Team,
It would be a lot better if we can receive an email notification that is more detailed unlike on what we usually received. Hopefully, You can add more information on the action that was taken that triggered that email notification.
For example:
Can you add more details for folders and the user what took the action on those folders.

Add "synchronize" or "versions" to the BoxCLI "folders:upload" functions
I am looking for a way to "synchronize" a folder and all of it's contents with the BoxCLI.
So, lets say i run this command:"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID%"
How can i upload the folder, and only "Update" what has changed?
It would be nice to have something for "Folders" like you have for "Files"
"box files:versions:upload FILEID PATH"
maybe - "box folders:versions:upload FOLDERID PATH"
which would update all of the contents of the folder, version stuff that exist, add items that don't.
I know i can "box:folders:delete"... then "box:folders:upload" again.. but seems a waist of bandwidth and time..

Add "Box DICOM Import" functions to the BoxCLI
One thing that would be handy is to be able to upload a folder (of dicom files) and process the contents with the "Box DICOM Import" functionality using the BoxCLI.
Maybe something like: (add a flag to current box:folders:upload command)
"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID% --dicom-import"
That would be Nice!

Provide read-only scope for user information
I'd like to provide our central identity management team a way to tell whether or not a given Box user has a > 0 byte usage before they delete the user's account (for example, as someone leaves our organization). I'd like to give them read-only API access to https://api.box.com/2.0/users, without giving them any additional access. Support tells me that this isn't currently possible. It'd be nice if it was--this could be useful for a number of other uses, too, such as reporting.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! Providing a read-only scope for Users via API is not currently on the roadmap, but we’ll update this request if that changes.

Remove External Password once Done
I would love to see the ability to remove/disable the External password after it has been used. We have many users who only need it once or twice for something niche, but once it's set you can't undo it meaning they're stuck rotating that password every 90 days, forever, despite us being on SSO.
Disabling this closes a login method that's no longer needed which is overall more secure, and removes a large inconvenience.

Make error message more apparent when slash or back slash is used in Box Notes' title
When slash or back slash is used in the title of Box Notes, it suddenly changes back to its original title as those characters cannot be used.
An exclamation mark icon quietly appears in the right side of the title, but unless I hover over my mouse pointer, it is not apparent why it changed back my title. Please show this error message more apparent (maybe always show it for the first 10 seconds) and/or color exclamation mark icon in red, so that the users can notice what went wrong.2 votes -

Modifying "Viewer Uploader" Permissions to Exclude Sharing Abilities
I would like to modify "viewer uploader" permissions to exclude sharing abilities. Particularly, with shared URL links.
What Christine mentioned:
"Question: I would like to modify "viewer uploader" permissions to exclude sharing abilities. How can I do that? If I can't (in general), how can I apply it to specific viewer uploader users?"

Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user group basis.
Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user/group basis. This could be for mobile apps, Box Drive, etc. Really make the control more granular than just all on/off for the Enterprise.

Multi-user and automatic uploads
Make box access suitable for multi user computers and have mechanism for automatically uploading data.
Use case: Lab equipment used by multiple users producing large amounts of data, automatically uploading this to box so as to limit required user interaction and keep local storage in check. Modern equipment can produce large amounts of data and being able to upload this automatically would help with data management. Requiring user intervention to manage their data is less practical with a very large user base so automating this process would again help with this process.
