This is a great idea! Unfortunately we aren’t able to prioritize this ask at this time due to other competing priorities.

Embed - Add Ability to Remove Header from Embed Widget
In the legacy UI embed widget, there was a parameter in the code to not show the header, which was a great option as we want a streamlined embed widget.
In the new UI embed widget, this option has been removed, meaning the header is ALWAYS shown, which can be a major UI distraction for various embed use cases.
REQUEST: Re-add the ability to remove/hide the header within the embed parameters.
23 votesThanks for the suggestion! This is an awesome idea, but due to competing priorities, this is feature request not currently on our immediate roadmap.

Ability to retroactively change expiration date on externally collab'd shared links and collaborators
In summary, the limitation appears with both External Shared Links and External Collaboration outside the organization.
Setting an expiration is helpful going forward, but still leaves us in a difficult situation on how to handle folders using this functionalities currently.

Templates - Restrict Templates to Specific Users/Groups and/or Folder Structures
Metadata templates are currently global across an entire EID. This does not scale well for large organizations with 50,000, 100,000 or more than 200,000 users.
This request is to add 'scope' parameters to Metadata Templates such that a specific template can be restricted to...
1. A specific set of users
2. A specific set of Groups
3. A specific Folder structure112 votesThis is on 2026 roadmap, and is under development.

Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)
When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"
REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.
Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.

Route files to a specific user via the embed widget
We would like to be able to pick what user content goes to with one widget.
2 votesI think this would be better addressed with platform elements. This way, you can build out the exact functionality you seek.

Upload multiple files simultaneously in embed widget without creating zip
We have a media-recorder PC that records presentations. We need to be able to upload these to our Box folder from there, but since it is accessible to many persons, we cannot be logged in to our Box acct and email for long periods while the large files are uploading.
They are large files (500mb-1gb), and up to 45 of them, so zipping and unzipping would take a lot of time and PC power, plus we'd like to be able to share them as-is once they are uploaded, without having to download on a personal machine, unzip, then re-upload.

Introduce a combination of version labels and version dependent permissions.
Compared to legacy ECM systems, versioning in box is limited to data states over time. There is no notion of a document lifecycle attached to a certain version (WIP, draft, published).
The mandatory check in/out of legacy ECM makes the system very user unfriendly. However, it would be nice if we could somehow label certain versions. The list of labels could either be fixed, or user definable.
If we combine this feature with a new permission: "view documents with status published", we could now have one directory where people work on their documents, but external people would only see the ones they have published.
Such a setup would allow for an easier way of working, since documents won't have to be copied anymore to shared folders. One could work in the shared folder but within it, only certain documents would be shared.
