Shared Links Only Accessible in "Trusted" Locations
I would kindly like to request that BOX add a feature where we can restrict shared links by the location they are accessed from. For example, if we share a link we want to be able to restrict access to only people in the USA. This feature will add an additional layer of security and help keep collaboration more compliant. Please add.

Use file size limits of Box Enterprise account when free users edit/upload to enterprise folders
Ability for free/lite users who are external collaborators in a folder to edit/upload content into a managed folder, even if the file size is above the free/lite limit. For example: Company A has an enterprise Box license and Company B does not, but uses free/lite accounts to collaborate in folders with Company A. When Company B needs to collaborate/edit large files in Company A’s folder, they can only do so if the size of the file is below the free/lite account limit. For large files, they have to download the file, edit it on their desktop, then email back to Company A because they can’t upload the large file size. Free/lite users/external collaborators should be able to edit/upload files into folders owned by Box Enterprise customers to avoid hindering productivity and to keep content more secure.

ITAR Support for Box Notes
Currently, if we need to be ITAR compliant, we are unable to utilize Box Notes. I realize this would require a backend modification, but it would be great if we could utilize Box Notes and remain ITAR/EAR Compliant.

Add "SSO Discovery Service Page" as a standard feature in Box login flow
We have 5 ID Providers. Box proposed "SSO Discovery Service" to connect 5-IdPs and a Box tenant. But "Discovery Service" needs to build a public web site. We cannot build that site because of their security policy. Please prepare discovery page as a standard feature in Box login flow.
72 votesNot planned for now. When we update admin login flow in FY20 H2, this will be under consideration.

Improve Box notes sharing and Home page
Box @ IBM is easily my most used and least liked product at work. The link sharing is a horrible experience. Everyone in the company disses Box's link protection. Enabling Link Expiration by default on the shared links is the worst idea and the product manager that approved this feature should dogfood features before subjecting customers to its horrid UX. I can't easily drag drop files like in Google Drive, the home page I land is useful in 0.01% of the cases. Usually I easily spend upwards of 5 minutes just looking for files. I have taken to adding all files in Favourites to be able to find them. Who does Box actually work for??

I would like to be able to set aliases on my favorites instead of having folder name only.
My naming convention may be different from the (owner's) directory structure, showing aliases (and real folder information) in the favorites would improve search, data retrieval and folder sorting.

Display email address of sender for files uploaded through email to folder
When using email to folder in Box, the "user" shows whatever name another company set up for that external email address. An example is service@ringcentral.com - the uploader shows as "Fax in Rehabco 2" which means nothing to us - it is apparently something set up by another Box company. It should display the actual email address instead.

Change the Box Logo
A box logo can’t be made of a cute font.
It should be boxy. Sharp angles. Makes sense.This is my interpretation to the box;

Box connector to streamsets
I am not sure if there is a box connector to streamsets. Would help a lot if there is a way to connect to streamsets.

Box Tools install to be shown as "Box Edit" instead of "Box Tools"
While I understand the Box Tools installer also contains the Box Local Com Server application, it is there to support Box Edit so labeling the entire installation more explicitly as Box Edit, instead of Box Tools, will be more clear.
7 votesThanks for your feedback. It’s called Box Tools because it actually contains both Box Edit and Device Trust capabilities in this one installer.

Add User Activity Reporting for Folder Settings Changes
Right now, there is no way to tell who is enabling or disabling notification settings by accident (rather than managing their own user level notifications).

Transfer Ownership Enterprise Event
Currently, when you delete a user the only way to show that the content from one user to another user in the enterprise events are track two separate events:
- UPLOAD (Creation of the new folder with the user's naming convention)
- MOVE (From unknown location/user, to the new folder)This mean you needs to track the newly created parent.name and the move event with the item.name. I'm proposing two potential enhancements:
1) Enhance the MOVE event to show the source user/item details AND target user/item details.
2) Create a new TRANSFER_OWNERSHIP event so that you can distinguish between a regular MOVE event and a transfer event as a result of deleting a user.Currently, when you delete a user the only way to show that the content from one user to another user in the enterprise events are track two separate events:

Total space used and total space allocated at enterprise level through API
Whenever we want to get total space used and total space allocated at enterprise level through api, we have to iterate through every user. Even then total space allocated at enterprise level would not be 100% accurate. If you guys can expose any api where we would get those information accurately.

Moveable Uploading window
When editing a file on your desktop, and then save it back to Box, an uploading window shows in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It can block other windows, would be great if we could move it around.
