When using the Send Shared Link feature, non-URLs in the Message are getting caught as URLs
It is unclear which part of the message got caught in the filtering.
For example we A.COMPANY get's caught as a URL since .com is recognized as a top level domain. This is very confusing to the user and would be better if there was a message that shows which string was marked as invalid.3 votes -

Better Group Management and Deletion
When managing groups, I would expect to be able to sort by the Members, Folders and Created columns.
I would like to be able to delete more than one group at a time.
When deleting a group from page 3, it returns you to page 1 instead of the page you were on. This is extremely frustrating when you have dozens of groups to remove which are lower in the alphabet. It would be better if you could multiple select groups and delete them. It looks like you can multiple select today but the only options are to Add Folders or Add Members.

Doc feedback
The layout and the padding feels weird. This applies to both the navbar as well as the content.

Show icon in Drive for parent folders when sub-folders are marked for offline
Currently, users are easily able to manage the hard drive space being used by BOX by simply checking into their sync folder and deciding then what they may prioritize as necessary to sync or un-sync at a quick glance. Even in the instances where there are multiple folders and sub-folders included, it’s a clear representation of what’s being synced at the time.
These same users currently sync A LOT of files within a fairly deep folder structure, so not having an insight into which folders are taking up space only leaves a user to chicken peck around in the hopes of finding which folders are available offline or not…..or, they’re only other option is to log out, losing all offline files and start again.

Access Stats: Include IP information from report preview in report export
While previewing the Access Stats, IP information is shared. When we export the report, it doesn’t give that information anymore. We would like for the IP information from the Access Stats preview to be included in the exported report.

Option to open links directly in desktop applications (rather than Box Preview)
Currently when I receive a link to a file on Box via email, clicking the link takes me to Box Preview. A couple of steps are needed before I can open the file using the relevant desktop application (e.g. Word, rather than Word Online or Box Preview), which is invariably what I want to do. It is problematic to need to access files via a web browser if I am not connected to the internet or if my connection is poor. Please could you introduce a way to quickly open lists directly in desktop applications?

Additional approval for large delete actions
We'd like the ability to add an optional multi factor authentication or admin approval while deleting files or folders above some specific amount data e.g 50 GB.
5 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Customize watermark to include version, update date
I’d like to use the watermark or a similar feature to print the Version Number and Last Update Date on PowerPoint and PDF files. I understand you can view this in Version History, but I’d like to see it super-imposed on the content.

Additional skill triggers
Currently when a file is uploaded in box it will trigger skills that have been registered to the folder (or parent folder). For more complex skill interactions where multiple skills are registered to the same folder, it would be ideal if there were additional triggers like a trigger for a file being viewed, or a trigger for metadata being updated.

Can we shut off GSuite document edit options
We want to make sure our users are not able to see options for GSuite within our enterprise. We only want Microsoft application options to appear in the drop down for editing documents. We don't want users using Gsuite so having the option isn't a good user experience for us. The less options we have in the drop down the better. It should be a on/off option at the enterprise level for enabling GSuite apps or connectors to GSuite.

Sharing information with people outside my organization.
when a URL is shared to someone they will then have the ability to download. locking a file feature is available, unfortunately, it needs to be performed one by one. the ability to lock entire folders all at once would be very helpful.

Add ethical walls to collaboration
We'd like to set up controls to prevent certain groups (like Investment Banking) from collaborating with users in a different group (Research).
8 votesThis is currently not planned. We are looking into restrictions that admins could set at this level, but there is nothing planned on the roadmap for this as of now.

Improve instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in file list
Improve the keyboard shortcut instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in the file list [e.g., under https://app.box.com/folder/]. From these instructions: https://community.box.com/t5/Migrating-and-Previewing-Content/Using-Keyboard-Shortcuts-for-Box/ta-p/25945
it is not clear and nonobvious that one has to navigate with the up and down arrows to land on the next file that you want to select, then you can press shift-x (which is a command that I've NEVER seen in a user interface).
Please improve your keyboard shortcuts article to be more explicit.1 vote -

Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks
In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline
