Disable drag/drop function for subfolders when navigating to save a file
When navigating to the relevant subfolder to save a file, it is too easy to accidentally drag/drop a subfolder into a parallel one, on route.
Causing headaches with missing folders and upsetting the folder structure.
If the folder moving function could be frozen while saving files, this would be more secure.8 votes -
Link shared link expiration date to time zone other than PDT

A method of Direct message or chat to a user.
Besides notifications, we would like to have a way to DM or chat a user about changes to content.
Comments are limited in characters and will also appear to others. This is why we would like a way to message a user directly within Box.

Hide folders from Collaborators
Hello, would love to be able to hide folders (I am currently the owner) from collaborators that way as the owner I can monitor what is seen by collaborators as a whole without them seeing things change on their end.

Treat .todo files as plain text
There is a plugin for Sublime Text that lets you create .todo files for task lists. These are just plain text files so it would be great if they could be previewed and treated as plain text. I'm mainly interested in being able to use the versioning to see the history of these files.

Folder created on mobile does not sync automaticaly on desktop with Box Sync
Solution : automatically sync folder created on mobile on desktop, or at least allow to activate syncing on desktop from the mobile app (this option is only available online - under sub / sub menu - but not in mobile menu)

Add @mentions using enter key
It would be nice to not have to put your cursor over the persons name and then hit enter after the name has shown. Rather, the name shows, hit enter, boom, done! No extra key strokes irritating my mouse arm!

If I include a URL in the optional sharing message, my message is lost.
It would be better for Box to display a warning in-line that URLs are not allowed than to have the message just be lost. Even better would be to allow URLs in messages.

Auto select search text upon opening Box Drive
When I Press Shft+Ctrl+Alt+B to activate the search function, the previous search text is in the search bar. It's highly unlikely I'm going the same search a 2nd time. The text should auto highlight, so I can just start typing for the next search. Currently you have to manually select the text to overwrite.

Ability to restore folder structures to point-in-time
Similar to version history, we would like the ability to select a folder, folder structure, or subset of folders/files and restore all content therein to a specific point in time. OneDrive recently released a histogram with a timeline slider feature allowing admins to restore select content to a specific period in time. For users moving from on-prem or used to backups, this provides confidence in giving the right access levels to users to get work done with the ability to revert content/structures if needed in case of accidental moved/edited or corrupted content.

Export search results data (as CSV or Excel) and/or files
There may be times when you just want to see a list of the hits without looking at the actual files, or download the files themselves without the details

Box for Trimble integration

Allow the Copy to also include file history
There are times when making a copy of a file should allow version history to be captured as well. Point in Time copies can help with legal matters, and having the version history can help us understand when changes were made, what changes were made and by whom. This shouldn't be on a move ONLY feature but also a copy feature/option.

Allow Previewer Role the ability to search (ctrl+F) within a file
We would like to limit download of a file, but allow for the ability to Search the file on box (i.e. view it and search it for keywords).
13 votesOn account of our security stance we don’t want to expose the text layer unless a user has permission to download a file. As the text layer is required to initiate search we can not activate the feature for users who don’t have download permissions

Anyone can upload file via shared link
I want that through the shared link anyone who gets that link can be not only viewer but also uploader. This would be very helpful for us when collecting data,pictures, files - anything.
It would be great to have option 1. viewer only option 2. viewer and uploader - that way we can choose if people can only view or view and upload.3 votes
