starts with, ends with, contains in metadata search
We have quite a large number of folders and files for a specific application in Box. To filter results, we'd like toi be able to use "Contains", "starts with" or "ends with" in the metadata search fields

HD Video Preview: Allow User to Download the Lower Quality (720P, 480P, etc.) Renditions of Video Files
With HD Preview, users can choose the quality of the video in the Preview (based on network/bandwidth speed, etc.), but users cannot download those downsampled/lower quality 'renditions'.
REQUEST: Allow users to download the lower quality renditions of video files on Box. For example, I upload a 1080P file, and I can choose to Preview the video in reduced 720P or 480P quality, and I can also choose to download those same renditions if I'd like. Think of it like adding a 'which quality/size output would you like?' option added after clicking 'download' for a video file.
3 votesThank you for the suggestion!
Providing a way to create a copy of an HD video, but at a lower quality so that it is easily downloadable is a low priority for the team.
It’s a niche use case at the moment and there’s a workaround (use a tool to downscale the video and upload that in addition to the HD video into Box).

From Mobile apps, be able to stop autoread to next files
It is when we put several mp3 files into a box folder or share multiple files with others. Then, when accessed these through the box app on a phone .... If we play one, the phone doesn't stop at the end, but goes on to play the next mp3 in the folder or the list of files shared.
Having just that one feature is indesirable. It generates less traffic to the apps and less exposure to Box other services ... I suppose the assumption was possibly for listening to music. But when we share podcasts or voice recordings, the current…

support editing of Open Office .odt, ods, and .odp files in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
I'm asking for Box not to block certain file compatibility functionality that is aIready within Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, when not used through Box. I would like to edit Open Office Formats .odt , .odp, and .ods files, preferably from with Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets respectively. MS Word does not support Open Office formats, otherwise I would request that as well. Somehow, Box is blocking Google Sheets and Docs from opening their Open Office file formats (.ods, .odp and .odt). Normally, Google Docs can open .odt files, if Box is not "in the way". See attached…

Link to searchable files on a website.
Want a public facing search function that can be deployed on websites with Box as the back end.
Use Case: I have several hundred newsletters in an archive in PDF format. I want a public facing link or window that the public can see without having to login into Box.
The Box embed widget gives me a window BUT is not a good user experience. They don't need to be dragging one cloud onto another or logging into box.
Box is great for storing and updating these files--but not for a public facing display.1 vote -
If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box, some files in the folder cannot be uploaded
If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box (webpage), some files in the folder cannot be uploaded. I find this problem persist and happen more than once. Why?
This is annoying because after I upload a folder, I need to check manually whether all files in that folder has been correctly uploaded. "Upload folder" function become useless.

Open files from web app in Box client
Oftentimes our team shares the location of a file within Box by pasting a link into, e.g. Asana. Clicking that link opens the item in the Box web app. There's no way to open that location within the Box client on MacOS other than looking at the file path on the web, then manually browsing to that location in Finder. I'd like a link you can click from the web app that reveals the location of that file within Finder.

Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive
Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.

Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.
In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.
I want the option to overwrite the file when it has the same name of existing files.7 votes -
Add Mac package support to Box files accessed via the iOS Document Picker
On iOS, we're using UIDocumentPickerViewController along with the UIDocumentPickerModeOpen to save and later edit files 'in place.'
Unfortunately box.com converts document bundles to zip files without further notice on the file extension. This breaks any attempt to open and edit files 'in place' on iOS and on OS X.

Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive
Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk
I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.
I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.
Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.
Having this functionality…

folder report
When running the folder/file report, provide a way to include ONLY the subfolders and not the files. Sometimes we need only the subfolder details and not the actual files in each subfolder.

Security Control - Download and Print Restriction, possibility for Owners/Co-owners and Editors exceptions
Security Control - Download and Print Restriction, possibility for Owners/Co-owners and Editors to be excluded from this restriction.
Currently, for managed users it's possible to restrict all users except Owners/Co-owners and Editors.
It would be beneficial to have a similar option for restricting external users1 vote -
Increase iWork integration 1GB limit
The limitation of the iWork integration supporting files up to 1 GB in size is a blocker for customers working on larger files. Increasing this limit would be very helpful to keep collaboration in Box.
