Notification when a collaborator is removed
We would love it if there were a way to get immediately notified if the “System Account” group were ever to be removed in the future.

New accounts should come to the admin for approval.
New accounts requests should come to the admin for approval. Users should not just be able to make an account without any permission, it makes it very hard to control license usage.

Admin global setting for video playback quality
Currently each individual account defaults to 480p (auto) and has to be self selected to change to 1080p. The reality is that text is going to be useless at 480p .... and many people won't know to change the setting - although of course the gear wheel is ubiquitous.
I want to administratively make the setting change for my users and let them step it DOWN if they prefer. My current solution is to literally start every video with a PSA that shows how to make this setting change.
That's maddening.

Multiple users being able to update an Excel spreadsheet at the same time. i.e. Shared workbooks. using Box Drive.
This would be a highly advantageous as I believe there are many other customers that would benefit from this.

Improve performance when performing content search queries in admin console
We have 30+TB of data in our enterprise and currently, performance of search queries when searching for content in the admin console is painfully slow. Confirmed with Box Support that the issue is NOT on our end and leads me to think that there is certainly room for improvement when searching content at scale.

sort colaborators list attached to a folder by their last name
As a teacher I add students to my folder as collaborators. If I want to make sure they are all in, I read my enrolment which is in sensible alphabetical order and have to check each name presence in "share list" in Box which is unsorted. This algorithm is O(n^2). If Box "shared list was sorted" it would be O(2*n). For 20 students that is difference between 400 and 40 compares. --thank you [add new category-- Usability]

One-Click shared link generation as Enterprise setting
The recent change to Box sharing means that you now have up to 3 clicks to get a shared link on your clipboard - click Share, then toggle the link on, then copy to clipboard. This annoys our users, who liked the old way, where clicking Share would automatically generate the link.
I think this change was motivated by feedback like this, where enterprises that choose to default to People With the Link permission sometimes end up with a lot of accidental open links:
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114154-add-second-step-when-creating-shared-link-for-a-fo(We, on the other hand, default to just "people in this file" permission.)
My proposal:
On the same /master/settings/content screen (Enterprise Settings > Content and Sharing) where you can currently choose how shared links default, also let the enterprise choose that clicking "Share" automatically generates the link without further user interaction.
Further: once you have this set, clicking this should automatically copy the link to the clipboard as well. I notice that if the link already exists, you now have the copy button flash green to "Copied", which is pretty neat.Our users generate shared links all the time in order to be able to direct their co-workers to a specific file, like in an email or in chat. This is a lot of clicks per day in a collaborative environment.

We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses
We want to be able to use the BoxAPI only from whitelisted IP addresses
(For example, register the IP address list of our proxy server )We believe it is the best to be able to specify a list of accessible IP address range on the apps in the application registration screen

Update billing contact when changing Primary Admin
When updating your primary admin it would be helpful to be prompted to review your accounts billing contact details. This is to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding renewals and to ensure that Box always have the right contact details for billing communications.

frup delete
With Box SDK for Salesforce, currently, in order to re-associate a given folder ID with a different SFDC ID, you can delete the associated FRUP ID in the SFDC UI via the FRUP report (https://community.box.com/t5/Integrations-Troubleshooting/Generating-a-FRUP-Report-in-the-Box-Salesforce-Integration/ta-p/53772) and then call createFolderAssociation() to re-map. It would be helpful to have an API call for the 1st step of deleting the FRUP record in SFDC

Sort underscores consistently
We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

box sync
The company I work for would love to keep the box sync app running for our computers as it is a real convince to only sync the files the designers are working on at the moment and allows us to control what to work on and not have to search through the whole box drive to find the one file every time to work on.

Version control - multiple uploads of the same file
Person A uploads file 1 then person B uploads a new version file 2 as a separate file instead of using the upload new version feature. Same thing for person C and D with files 3 and 4 with 4 being the latest. Any editor should be able to select these multiple files and merge them into one where the files are autosorted according to date. So one file with file 1 as the file name but the contents show file 4 as the latest and if you check version history, you'll see files 1, 2, & 3.
Thank you for your time and keep up the good work!

how to unselect is not intuitive
If I have selected a file, to see its details etc. it's not obvious how to unselect it so I can go back to viewing the folder details.
I tried clicking on the whitespace (windows analogy) but it did nothing. After some random clicking about I found, to deselect I must click the "xxxx is selected" text at the top of the page. This doesn't seem intuitive. Perhaps adding a "cancel" cross next to it, similar to the "clear" buttons in search boxes would provide a clue.1 vote
