It would be nice if the "Updated" column showed a time, not just a date, stamp
We update our files so frequently that the date stamp is not sufficient; we need a time stamp. Thank you!

Expanding the scope of BoxAI
Box AI works on single documents, but we also want to use it as a file search function across folders and Box as a whole. For example, I would like to have various company regulation files in a box and ask them to answer questions about what kind of application they should make when getting married.

"Shared links" - search functionality
Currently "Shared links" do not have the search functionality or the search bar enabled. This is presenting an issue some someone that needs to share a ton of files and for one reason or another cannot add the users as collaborators.

Add ability to change sort order of comments
In the latest UI, comments on files are sorted in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order. I'd like the option to change my sort order so that newest comments are listed first.
18 votesAs part of the usability enhancements rolling out in the update noted here here – https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Simplified-Sharing-Public-Beta/idi-p/64620 – we updated the Activity sidebar in Preview to sort comments with the latest comment at the bottom, aligning with the comment composer’s location at the bottom and to make way for future updates planned for the sidebar. As a result, we don’t plan to change sort order.

Smaller icons for Box Drive on windows
The "status" icons on folders/files in Box Drive cover up 80% of the thumbnail for the file (or folder itself). This happens when explorer is set to list or details view.
This makes scanning a folder with many documents for a particular file type extremely difficult, as there's not much visual distinction between excel, word, and ppt docs when they're all covered by one of the Box Drive syncing status icons. The PPT/Excel/Word logos are completely covered with just a vague hint of color peeking out.
It would be ideal to figure out some way to make these icons…

Display of confirmation message screen to prevent accidental operation of Box Drive
When using Box Drive, it is common for users to accidentally delete, move, or copy files.
When manipulating large numbers of files, this failure can lead to serious information leaks and other problems.
Therefore, it would be helpful to improve functionality such as displaying a confirmation message when deleting, moving, or copying files to better prevent accidental operations.7 votes -
When building a hub, it would be beneficial to be able to add files and folders in which you have less than owner, co-owner or editor access
Being able to add folders to view and upload files to a hub without higher (owner, co-owner, editor) access would allow much more functionality to the product.

The "Other Options" menu is missing
The menu display of "Other Options" is cut off.
I want the menu display to be always displayed in its entirety.When files and folders are at the top of the screen, "Other Options" may not be displayed at all.

Viewing and Downloading EPUB files
As outlined in Case # 2783413
We were unable to share an link to an EPUB which had watermarking embedded in the file.
Workarounds included zipping up the EPUB first.
It would be wonderful to get full EPUB support where you can view the EPUB (ie see the cover image, and even the contents of the EPUB book and allow anyone with the link to download the file.As was discovered in the case mentioned above, it turns out some EPUBs can at least be downloaded if they didn't contain watermarking. Publishers put in watermarking so removing these is not…

Expose Favorites in Box Drive
Favorites are becoming more and more popular now that they're better exposed (in the left rail) in the new Web App.
As such, users expect to access their Favorites list regardless of which endpoint they're using - webapp (supported), mobile (supported), or desktop (not supported via Sync or Box for Desktop).
REQUEST: Add a 'Favorites' view to Box for Desktop content (somehow) that allows the user to view only their Favorites (files + folders) just like they do in the webapp.

Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files
Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

Ability to order files by file names

Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)
Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.
No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)
9 votesWe don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

I would like the restrictions on Box AI to be lifted or reduced.
It's great that the Box AI query limit has been lifted.
Next, we would like to see the following three limits lifted or reduced.
・Limited to 1,000 characters per question
・Text content size limit is 1MB, with larger files only processing the first 1MB of text
・Non-English languages may produce lower quality resultsOf course, we would also like to see the accuracy of the AI improved. (Especially Bax AI for Hubs)

Better visibility for file metadata
We would like for metadata to be more visible next to the file on the preview screen instead of having to go to the metadata section and clicking on view.
If metadata could be more easily accessible on the file, as well as when you copy/move the file within Box, it would be helpful if it went with the file too.
