Display by name, Alphabetical as a Default. Necessary for our business!
It is 100% Necessary for our file Storage and Sharing needs for files to show up alphabetically BY DEFAULT. We just transferred over from Dropbox, and this is really annoying and a waste of time to have to set viewing each time we log in, and when we share files to have to explain to customers how to set their display. Display by name alphabetical should not only be an option, but a Default. Please make this available immediately. Our business model and client sharing workflow success depends on this. Thank you for implementing right away

Ability to search files by SHA1 value
Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.
Key use cases:
1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)SHA1 values are referenced here:

Ability to disable "user added another user to your folder as a collaborator" email notifications.
We've built an app that centers around adding users to folders owned by a service account. We had over 150k notifications in a single day, accounting for 80% of their email traffic to a single inbox for a brief period. We've have added a rule to block these incoming emails, but we are not satisfied with this solution and urgently request the ability to turn these off.

Ability to see notifications for Deleted comments in the Notifications tab
We would like to be able to know which comments have been deleted by users in the Notifications tab. Currently, Notifications appear only when comments are added.
0 votesThis request addresses a relatively narrow use case, so we will not be prioritizing it. Most often, users delete comments since they do not want others to view them.
What use cases would this feature serve?

In App Alert that user's password is expired
We would like an in app alert or some email notification that the password has to be reset in order to continue using the app (Box Capture).
Our users lose work or have all the items queued when offline, and when the password is enforced to be reset, they lose all their work.

"What's New?" Button in a the Box Web Application - Can we include release notes notifications there as well?
Would it be possible to include release notes in the under the "What's New" button inside Box's Web App? Besides receiving sales notifications, it would be nice to have our users in the know about changes that might be impact them right there in the Box Web App, and not under the release notes' external page.

Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive
We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.
Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

Add Optional Security Notifications for Admins, Reports for Public Links, and Customize the Insights Dashboard
We'd like to be able to receive notifications when a user creates a shared like that is "public" or available to anyone externally. With recent security concerns, we're not able to easily see how many public links are being created. The reports time out and we have to reach out to Box Support every time we want that data. In addition to better abilities to report and customize reports as many people have mentioned, it would be nice to customize the Insights dashboard to see the pertinent data to our organization.

Make the "Mobile Web Access Control" setting in the management console applicable to the current domain (box.com) as well
As a result of Box consolidating its mobile sites from “a.box.com” and “m.box.com” into “box.com,” the “Mobile Web and Accessibility” settings in the Admin Console are not being applied to the current domain. Consequently, even if administrators enable these controls, they do not affect mobile access under box.com.
At our company, we use Intune policies to prevent Box files from being saved locally on corporate iPhones. Safari is not subject to Intune policies. Because the “Mobile Web Access Control” settings currently cannot enforce restrictions, users can access Box via Safari on corporate iPhones and save Box files locally, creating a…2 votes -

Ability for a folder owner to opt-out of email notifications when a collaborator shares or accepts an invitation
An Admin owns all folders for the enterprise and she receives an email every time a collaborator invites another user to the folder, and then again when it's accepted.
It caused a lot of noise in her inbox. Short of setting up an Outlook rule, the Admin would like to opt-out of these notifications.
This would be helpful for enterprises whose admin's own the content, or at least root level folders for their users.

IP Whitelisting
Please find our use case below for your better understanding and let us know how Box can support our requirements.
We are working with multiple clients, and our primary focus is data handling, especially PII data. Currently, we have a centralized storage system (File Server) to store client data files and folders, which are accessible by both internal users and clients, based on the access permissions we provide.
We are now planning to create Box accounts for each client, store the data there, and grant access to files/folders for our internal users as external collaborators. In this setup, the Box…

Allow http://127.0.0.1 as redirect_url in published box apps
It is currently disallowed to use redirect_urls of the form http://127.0.0.1 in published apps.
These give the error "insecureredirecturi".
These are allowed in unpublished apps.
Having a redirect to 127.0.0.1 is very useful for native apps which run on the users computer (eg rclone https://rclone.org ).
It is pretty much impossible to do https to 127.0.0.1 - you can't get a valid certificate for it. See this link for details: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/ - and also for reasons why using http://127.0.0.1 is treated as secure by browsers.
I'll describe how rclone, a native CLI app works. Rclone runs on the…

Separate Allow and Block Lists for both Inbound and Outbound Collaboration
With regards to external collaboration, one can either enable external collaboration with any external domain (for both inbound and outbound collaboration), or one can specify an allow list of external domains for both inbound and outbound collaboration. We have different requirements with regards to inbound and outbound collaboration.
As such, we would like fine-grained control over both inbound and outbound collaboration domains. We may want a block list of inbound collaboration while having an allow list for outbound collaboration (or vice versa.)
Definitions:
Inbound collaboration: an collaboration invite from one's own Box tenant to an external, unmanaged account
Outbound collaboration:…2 votes -

Support for Context Menu Actions on Multiple Files in Box Integrations
Dear Box Product Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently reached out regarding an issue I encountered while developing an integration for Box, specifically related to context menu actions on multiple files. Upon discussing the matter with your developer advocate, I was informed that the behavior I observed, where context menu options are not available for multiple file selections, is by design.
While I understand that there may be considerations and design decisions behind this behavior, I would like to provide feedback from a developer's perspective. It would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability…

Would have appreciated more notice in regards to changes made depreciating the old API when File Request was released.
We missed the notice where everything using the old app would break. We had used this app to embed many upload widgets in web pages, then they all broke simultaneously. We were left scrambling to fix every page that was broken. It’s just a lengthy process on our end to replace the functionally that was broken in our all live pages.”
