viewing annotated PDFs with 100% opacity highlights completely blots out text on browser but not acrobat or Docutments by Readdle
I like to annotate PDFs on my iPad (through Documents) and browser (through Box tools). When I preview a document with 100% opacity highlights on a browser it begins to load with readable text but switches to completely blotted out text when fully loaded. I used 100% opacity because it looks the best on acrobat PDF and ipad app Documents by Readdle. Please change settings so that 100% opacity highlights do not completely blot out text when previewing in browser.

Allow SVG logos in Enterprise Branding
Box uses an SVG to keep their logo crips on high DPI displays. I want to be able to upload an SVG in Enterprise Settings > Branding to get our logo crisp as well. PNG files aren't cutting it on high resolution displays on any basic Mac these days.

Export all Collaborators on an item from Web UI
As an editor - when I go to a folder, I can see everyone collaborated into that folder.
On the right hand side, I can click on a user or on an icon that shows + x number people.When I do that it opens a page showing a table of users collaborated in.
Name/ Email address/ Permission / Date Added/ Added ToI would love a button to click which would simply export a .csv of that table.
Seems simple as that table is presented on the web page.
15 votesThanks for the suggestion! While I definitely see the usefulness of being able to export a report of collaborators on an item, we don’t plan to launch this feature in the near term as we’re focused on other various collaboration improvements.

notification email
Notification Email - End user self-service
I would like to allow our managed users to update their own "Notification Email" setting. Right now it requires Admin/co-admin level access to make this change to an account.
At least for our organization this is a user account option that we would like to delegate to the end users and allow them to edit the value in their profile.
I realize that some organizations may want more control so ideally there would be an enterprise setting that determined whether end users can update the Notification emails value.

Custom notifications using Box API
Using Box API there is no way to create custom user notifications. It might be helpful to send some information to the customer that some documents have been moved, imported, etc. A user can monitor the folder but this would be a valuable extension for the API for platform developers.
12 votesThanks, this is a great suggestion but not one that is currently on our roadmap. In the mean time, you can consider using Webhooks to get relevant events and make use of a simple transactional email/sms API such as those provided by Twilio/Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send notifications based on those events.

Add sorting and filtering to "My Cases" on Community site
When I go to "My Cases" on the Box Community site to view open support cases, I have a table with headings ID - SUBJECT - CREATED - UPDATED - PRIORITY - STATUS
I would love the ability to sort the columns, but that is not an option.
I do not see any way to display more than 20 cases on a page, so I need to view my cases on different pages.There is ONE filter, but it is not so useful, because there are multiple "statuses" that would be useful to see together, such as a way to…

Allow Enterprise Event API Endpoint to access 7yrs worth of data to match the activity reports provided by the web app
Enterprise Events API endpoint only allows retrieval of events up to one year back. Activity reports in Box go back 7 yrs. Events contain a lot more useful data than activity reports so the request is to match the retention period between the two so the same amount of data can be collected via the API or web application.
9 votesBox does not currently plan to extend the lookback period fo Enterprise Events.

Allow multi-select of files to download from Content Explorer UI element
Our use case is using Content Explorer to allow users to interact with content in Box. If a user wants to download multiple files via Content Explorer, they either have to download one-by-one, or launch the Content Picker UI element and identify their files again. If Content Explorer supported either multi-select or a checkbox multiple select, users could then download their files with one click.
Specific business process: when working with insurance claims, adjusters regularly need to find and download several images to share with another insurance company to process the claim. Out of 100+ images in the claims folder,…

Collaborators request for status change- notification sent to owner
Collaborators (non-owner) can request from the owner to have their status changed (i.e. owner, co-owner). A notification will then come to the current owner with approve or deny option. Currently I am having to ask via email, phone, in person for people to change this status and they don't always remember, but as a quick notification from the email they can approve or deny the request.

Updated MS Office Online Functions
We have the ability to use forms with Excel Online via Office 365, but if we choose to retain those items in Box, we lose all form functionality. We'd like to see an updated version of Office Online available in Box to support these features.

UI for Legal Holds
A piece of UI feedback on legal holds: the buttons “release” and “report” are quite close to each other, but do drastically different things. While there is a secondary confirmation screen, it still might be useful to create more physical separation between the two to prevent mistakes.

Use autocomplete to select metadata templates
I have a metadata field that contains a choice list that is 35 items long. Rather than scrolling down to select one, I want to type the first letter and have it jump down the list to the first item with that letter as the first letter.
Before your most recent upgrade of the metadata functionality, I could type a letter or two into a select field and the field would auto complete with the choice in the drop down that most matches it. Now I can no longer type into the drop down list field. This really reduces usability…

Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.
Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator…

Add a Folder Viewer role
Along with the current 7 access levels, adding the “folder viewer”level which the user can see ancestral folders(with no access to those folders).
If a collaborator is invited from 2 different sub-folders with the same name, the folder name on the invitee’s first level shows the same. This can confuse users and might cause uploading/editing contents at the wrong destination.
Once this access level is deployed, the collaborator can clarify the root folder without having to confirm its contents.
Viewing folder paths can be done with canviewpath in the API but we want this to be possible in…

Slow IO: Switch from SQLite to something faster?
Benchmarks show that BOX drive is 50% to 90% slower than direct filesystem
Boxdrive stores the files in the cache as-is so there is no cpu overhead in encryption or packing, IO should be as fast as native filesystem.Perhapse the SQLite database layer is slowing things down?
If that's the case, replace Drive backend with something faster, like this one:
