Enhanced Reporting on Folder Growth
It would be advantageous to see what folders are growing in content from custom periods. This will allow to not only run some analytics on the usage but also ensure that users are storing content in the correct locations.

Restoring an individual child file when the parent folder hasn't been restored causes issues.1 vote -

git-like ‘RAW’ mode for Box Notes
When I have a Boxnote with a trailing backslash (’\’) a copy-and-paste into an xterm (Linux X11, Mac OS Xquartz), it converts the backslash to a control character.
When I copy a Boxnote with a backslash I get the following:
“”“
!/bin/env bash
echo “Hello World!” \
<A0>“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
“”“And the string ‘<A0>’ is highlighted.
It appears to me that Boxnote is interpreting a backslash at the end of a line as a ‘backslash<A0>’ when copy-pasted into an Xterm using vim. I tested the placement by putting a backslash in the middle and it did not make any alterations.
I attempted to use a backslash-space-at-the-end to see how that would work. I received:
“”“
echo “ “ <A0>
<A0>“blah”
“”“For grins I tested in Mac OS Terminal; it does not have the same issues as XQuartz (X11) Xterm. However, I want to copy-and-paste into a Xterm session to a remote server.

Automated Set of Subfolders
I'd like the same set of subfolders to be created automatically for every matter (parent folder) I create, so i don't have to constantly re-create the subfolders.

Option to prevent Drive from launching on startup by user
We are preparing to deploy Box Drive to our users using the Windows .msi. However we've found that after installation, the Box Drive window opens automatically for every user, every time they log into the computer. For users on a shared system who are not using Box, this means dismissing the window every login.
We'd like an option for Box Drive installation to not have the client launch automatically for all users. Or post-installation, allow the user to tell Box Drive not to open automatically for them. If the Box Drive client needs to run at login for every user, could it at least start with an icon in the system tray and not a visible window?We are preparing to deploy Box Drive to our users using the Windows .msi.

Ability to revoke admin rights
Our account admin is no longer with the company, and we have no way to 1) revoke their access or 2) reassign their admin permissions. Given the confidential nature of the documents stored in Box, it is vital to have this ability internally. We thank you in advance for your help!

Shared Link vs Shared Folder Collaborator Options
I would like to grant Previewer collaborator option when creating a shared link on a file.
- When using the Shared Link for a file, only available collaborator options are Editor and Viewer.
- When using the Shared Link for a folder, available collaborator options: Uploader, Previewer, Viewer, Previewer Uploader, Viewer Uploader, Editor, Co-Owner.
When granting access at the folder level opens a security hole where later files can be viewed as well, when only one file needs to be shared.

Show your pricing correctly!
The biggest problem is how you present your pricing. You shouldn’t show the price up top, then "minimum 3 users" under the scroll line of your website. Very deceiving! Personal price should be listed as $15 and Business price should be listed as $45 at the top. Better yet, don't have a minimum of 3 people!

Notification of uploads from external users
Ability to set Notification of uploads from external users only. Essentially, want to know when an external user has uploaded a file so we don't have to constantly check specific folder to see if client (ie external user) has uploaded a file.

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.
