Create exceptions for auto-expiration of sharing and external collaborators
We have auto-expiration on file sharing but often need to share files with external collaborators for an indefinite amount of time. We can't keep re-sharing the file. Same for external collaborators - we have auto-expiration but we can't keep re-sharing folders with them.

Add "Copy file" and "Copy shared link" to the horizontal bar in Box preview
When I get shared links for which I want to reuse to create my own decks I have to download the file , make changes and upload it back. Would be convenient for the user to just "copy" the file because at that point they had download rights anyways
When I get shared links and I want to share the file further its not clear to me that I could copy the same url and send it ahead. Some users end up downloading the file in order to share further which leads to data fragmentation

Date and time functions will not work correctly in shared Excel file
When an external collaborator opens a shared link of an Excel file (with 'People with the link' option selected) without logging into box, date and time functions will not work correctly.
This should be fixed, as it would easily bring about confusion.1 vote -
I want to share only the necessary folders and files on the BOX drive
Since it is troublesome to access BOX.com, I usually access and edit the necessary folders and files from the BOX drive, but it would be convenient to be able to display only the necessary folders and files. Currently, when you open a folder with "Windows + E", all the folders and files in "All files" of BOX.com are displayed on the BOX drive, but you do not access all of these, and you can save files that are accessed infrequently. I think you should check BOX.com to confirm.
I think it would be useful to have options such as "Share…2 votes -
Report on Folder Security settings changes
Would like changes to Folder Security settings to show in the Event stream and in Usage Logs. Since all Owners and Co-Owners of folders have access to these configurations, this is crucial to tracking changes to the security of sensitive content.

The "Invoices from box" folder where invocies are dropped can not be moved.
For easier rights management and avoiding "shared folder" ****, we opted to have one shared folder across our company with sub-folders for each department.
Said folder is shared with our accounting department.
I moved the folder "Invoices from box" from my root folder to the accounting department sub folder but each month when an invoice is issued it appears again in my root folder.
I propose that box.com remembers the folder ID of the "Invoices from box" folder and used that instead of the absolute path of the folder to drop their invoices.

Automatically remove external collaborators at the folder level
We want the ability to automatically remove external collaborators after a certain period of time, and we want to be able to customize this depending on the folder in question.
Currently, we can expire external collaborators at the global Enterprise level but this behavior isn't desirable across all folders.
We want to be able to set external collab expiration at the folder level with the ability for different folders to have different expiration periods when the collaborators would be automatically removed.
20 votesThanks for the feedback! However, this is an edge use case which would add complexity to the product. We will review this with additional demand.

In Webapp Search filtering - add multi-select for file type filtering or add an option to exclude folders
During searches, returns can include both Files as well as Folders, which adds to the search return clutter. Customer would like a way to filter out all folders results.
This could be done through adding multi-select to file types filter or adding a folders type exclusion.2 votesHi, this feature was delivered earlier this calendar year. Also, this filter can be set from the dropdown. See https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053017633-New-Functionality-in-Search-Dropdown for more information.

Would like a feature that boilerplate to the message box of Send Shared Link
For example, the customer usually uses shared link with Send Shared Link.
However, the customer sometimes faces insufficient information.
So, he thinks he can prevent it if this feature is implemented.1 vote -
Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive
We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.
Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

Ability to 'select all' or 'multi-select' items for moving between folders
Same as the title says: ability to 'select all' or 'multi-select' items for moving between folders. Why can't I select multiple files via a menu option, drag and drop, or any other method beside individually clicking every single item.

Add "Do not notify" to "Share this folder" dialog box
When inviting users to collaborate in a folder, it would be helpful to add a check box to Not Notify the users.
Larger folders can cause a lot of noise as users are added to a folder.
There are times the collaborators may need to be removed, then re-added to a folder - this generates confusing emails.7 votes -
Ability to limit shared link access to a folder at the folder settings level
Currently there is a setting that allows you to limit a folder to collaborators only. The additional setting to limit the settings for access to people in the company or higher at the folder settings level would provide more granular control.

Filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy"
Would like to have the ability to filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy." Currently files are organized by alpha and I have to scroll through files to find the one I recently created.

Email Notifications to Be Sent to Users to Alert Them of Pending Shared Link Expiration
When an owner invites a collaborator to a shared folder that has a file set to expire, there could be a little box that gives the option to send a courtesy reminder email to the collaborator x amount of hours in advance (48 for example) so they know to check the folder if they haven't already.
2 votesThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.
