Add Metadata Support for Weblinks
Since you currently can't add metadata to weblinks using the web interface, you have to use tags. This makes filtering systems more complex, since they're having to tie into two different APIs.
It's even complicated further, since you can't actually read those tags via the API -- so you have to add tags to fields you can read, like the title field.

Lock file upon approval task
It is often desirable that the file is locked when an approval task is set to ensure that the approval is given on the exact version of a document as it was when the approval was triggered. It would be useful to have the option to lock a file until the approval task has been approved or declined.

Allow choosing default Group permission setting for push groups
Currently all Box groups pushed from Okta are by default visible to anyone within the Company. We are starting to make extensive use of Box Group pushed from Okta and need those groups to be visible to Admins only to avoid Groups being invited by users to potentially large number of folders.

Allow users to select a folder when creating a new note in the notes console
When creating a new note from the notes app, you should allow users to select which folder the note lives in. It currently defaults to the root of the user's drive. Or improve upon the move note feature.

The current design enables us to export the results of the items only in the specified folder. The customer expects the result as a folder
The request from the customer:
The current design enables us to export the results of the items only in the specified folder.
The customer expects the result as a folder tree starting from the specified folder by the same operation.Could you add an option to bring this new feature even closer to what the customers want?
Use case:
The customers will be able to more easily get the information they need.
This is a more user-friendly way than extracting the information they want from the results obtained by not specifying a folder.2 votes -
Subdomain of shared folder should match folder owner
There is a difference in the URL that is actually displayed to collaborators.
The custom sub domain of the tenant to which user A belongs is “aaa.app.box.com“.
The custom subdomain of the tenant to which user B belongs is “bbb.app.box.com“.User B was invited as a collaborator to a folder owned by user A.
The URL of the file placed in that folder is
User A will see “aaa.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.
User B will see “bbb.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.Can the URL be changed so that the sub domain matches the owner of the folder? When collaborators go to a folder owned by another enterprise, you will see the branding change to the owner’s branding, yet the URL will contain the sub domain of the collaborator and not the owner.

Password Resets by Administrator
This weekend, our organization had an internet outage that stopped email from delivering for four days. I had a user whose password expired and due to the password reset process being wholly dependent on email, the user was unable to work in Box, which is where all their files are, so they couldn't work. I setup a call back and was told that the process needed email in order to manually reset the user's password.
There needs to be a way where administrators can reset a user's password in the admin console. There are times when email is not a viable way to reset passwords in order to maintain functionality.
Ideally, I would like to be able to setup a user's password and then set a time-frame for when they must change it to allow them access but then have a clear time-frame on when they must change from a temporary password.
I know I saw this in another suggestion and I voted for it, but this would never have happened if the user had known their password was about to expire. Email notifications at set intervals (like 14, 7, 3, 1 days) would prevent a slew of issues.
Thanks,

Improve management of pending invitations via API
As we continue to build and customize the collaboration mechanism we found it difficult to manage pending invitations. When calling your API api.box.com/2.0/folders<folder_id>/collaborations it returns approved collaborators in the “accessibleby” object but when it return PENDING collaborators the “accessibleby” object is null, but there’s status “pending” on this collaborator. We would imagine it would capture the email address of that pending collaborator. Seeing this is capable in your public domain to show the pending collaborator with an email address would be very useful to create modules to manage pending collaborators (e.g. resending the invitation, update the email address, etc..).
The temporary solution that was offered:
1) create our own database to manage and capture external emails that were sent invitation to collaborate
OR
2) query the event logs to find those external emails.
It doesn’t seem to be very efficient for us to adopt these solutions for the interim when BOX’s API already aware of the email value and Box has the mechanism to manage these pending collaborators and move them to approved once they have a profile in Box.com. This will also help reduce traffic and processes if Box can capture this detail in the collaboration dataset.

Selecting approvers and move destination folders of outcomes dynamically
I got a request from my business partners that it might be very nice for them to be able to select approvers and move destination folders of each outcome dynamically.
They feel inconvenience to create Relay flows as the sames number of external collaboration folders of every company.1 vote -
The view of files and folders in the Web UI should load dynamically, not be paginated.
Currently, the default experience in the web UI is to paginate the view of files and folders, showing just 20 at a time. That's a pretty antiquated way of displaying a long list--most modern websites, including Box's competitors, just dynamically load more items as you scroll to the bottom of the page. I just finished helping one of our users who was very confused by this: he didn't notice the pagination buttons, and didn't understand where his file had disappeared to.

iPad Bluebeam integration: Allow edits to be made on web instead of download
When a user opens Box in Bluebeam application (via our integration with them) on web, you can make your edits + save back to Box. This is not working the same on iPad: to do this, you have to download it to make edits (this is specific to iPad).

Google-Box Integration: Allow "Add to Box" for files over 25GB sent via email
My team uses Box for Gmail and enjoys the functionality. However, when they’re receiving an incoming email with a file attached over 25GB, Google converts this file into a link instead of keeping it an attachment. When they click the Box integration to save it to Box, they can’t, because it’s a link and won’t show up as an option to upload into Box. Is this something the Box team can fix/work around?
5 votesGlad you are enjoying the Box for Gmail integration! Unfortunately, the 25GB behavior is a limitation on the Google side, meaning Box cannot do anything to fix this. Please reach out to your Google account team to get it prioritized on their roadmap.

Download all versions of a single file at once
If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.
For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

NetSuite v2 - Ability to hide the integration folder from user in Box website like v1
In NetSuite Box bundle v1 there was an option to hide the NetSuite folder from users when they log into Box website. It would be good to have this same ability in v2 so files can only be accessed through NetSuite and not inside Box website just like v1.
