Hi, thank you for the feedback on how to improve Box. Unfortunately, OCR for images to capture data from images is not on our roadmap at at this time. However OCR for scanned PDFs is on our roadmap.

The Ability to Search for Users by Secondary Email Address
In the Admin Console, there is currently no way to search for users by their secondary email address.
When the Admin goes to create a new user with an email address that is already in use by an existing account, they have no way of seeing who is using the email address without checking their users' account details individually.
6 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the current experience to manage users in the Admin Console before we add enhancements to search.

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.

Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing
The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT
Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

Allow for file or folder name to wrap
Longer file or folder names do not display the whole name in the new UI.
We have specific naming conventions that are longer than the current character count.
The old web app allowed for wrapping. Please restore this functionality.

When attempting upload and storage is full, clarify error message to identify whose storage is full
Right now it says, "Uploading this will put you over your allocated space," even if uploading to a folder with another owner whose storage is the problem.

Add ability for the background process that Syncs Box and Salesforce Permissions to detect Box permission changes initiated from Box.
For example - If a user removes themselves as a collaborator on a folder in Box that is mapped to a SFDC object, this would remove their object access in Salesforce.

Shared Link Stats after link disabled
Stats for the shared link persist after the link is removed. It would be valuable to know who has access that link even after you remove it from the file. Use case would be for audit purposes.

Option to request access to a folder
Request: If an external or internal user is forwarded a Box folder invite and they are not a current collaborator, they should have a mechanism to request the access and such request should automatically go to folder Owner/Co-owner for approval or decline. This should be done in a way that does not display or communicate the folder owners name.
Rationale: We have many external users that are part of large teams. Adding all (and maintaining) in the team is not feasible. These external users often forward the folder invites.
47 votesI would like to understand the use case better. Is the folder being shared externally using the shared link feature?
