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

Prevent desktop box folder deletion
Please create a way to globally disable users the ability to delete folders from their desktop with Box Drive.
They are under the impression that if they hit "delete" on the folders they are removed from the Projects. This in turn has caused a lot of chaos from team members deleting the entire Project folders instead of going to the Box website and revoking their permissions.
No amount of training we try do it can solve this with a company our size.
Team members are deleting terabytes of data and it's exhausting trying to recover all this data.

Collaborator Clean Up
Collaborator Clean Up - In Account Settings / Collaborators, we want to add the ability to click on any collaborator and see what files and folders they have access to. When looking at the list, have a button available to remove them from specific folders as needed. This will be especially helpful when performing a CBN, Audit or Digital Clean up.

Enhanced Folder Naming for Signature Links
Current Issue
When documents are issued via Box Sign signature links, the folders created during storage are named with dates only. We would like the ability to include document-identifying codes or keywords in folder names.Current behavior:
File names are preserved, but folders are subsequently named with dates only
When signature links are sent to multiple recipients, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which document belongs to which person
Lack of clear organization makes document management challenging
Proposed Enhancement
Folder naming should include:Signature recipient's name
Document-identifying keywords or codes
Customizable naming conventions
Business Impact
This enhancement would significantly improve…5 votes -

Box Relay - ability to share a folder to a group
In Box Relay it would be nice to be able to share a folder to a group and not only to users.
Entering all the members of the group one by one can be time consuming and over time the members of a group evolve, which means that the Box Relay settings have to be changed.12 votes -

Organize Classifications by Sensitivity, Not Alphabetically

Add the optional message text on Shared Link Email to the event in the API
When a user clicks the email button the Share Link screen they have the ability to enter an optional message to the person they are sending the link too. This optional message is not captured anywhere in the Box system or event stream. The only way to capture a record of this optional message is with the Compliance Email Archive. Customer would like for this optional message be captured in the event stream so 3rd party compliance software can capture that information. This is an issue in regulated industries like Wealth Management in Financial Services that require logging ALL potential…

Please implement the function to restore the contents in the trash to a folder other than the original folder location.
Please implement the function to restore the contents in the trash to a folder other than the original folder location.
Currently, when restoring files/folders from the trash, it will be restored to the same folder as before the deletion.
If we accidentally delete a large number of items that we plan to move, it will take a considerable amount of time to restore and then move, and the items in the move process (delete / move / copy) will be temporarily locked, which will hinder our business.
We are confident that if we can select the restore location, which…15 votes -
Ability for users to set sorting preference
Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.
Please enable users to set the default sorting order for folders or restore the prior defaults

Enable Box DICOM Proxy to send to multiple pre-configured folders
Currently, the Box DICOM Proxy can only send files to 1 specified folder and they are organized dynamically based on the DICOM metadata. If an admin wants to send files to multiple folders based on their own routing logic independent of the DICOM metadata, they need to install multiple instances of the Proxy. This is not scalable when multiple folders are at play.
The ask is to enhance the proxy to support multiple destinations per installation of the proxy. Each destination would point to a pre-defined folder created by the admin.

New Metadata Types that Reference Files, Folders, Users, and Groups
Provide the capability to store and manage a relationship as metadata. This would allow you to model peer and parent-child relationships between Files, Folders, Users, and Groups. This would store the unique id for the Box object and provide a user experience that would allow you to navigate to each item by clicking on the metadata value.

I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.
In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"
