Individualized shared links
We'd like to be able to send customized links to specific individuals (e.g. company.box.com/JohnDoe) to know, even though they'd normally show as "Someone has Viewed your file", that it can be tracked back to being the particular person from that link.
We'd ideally like to send that same file to 5 different prospects with 5 customized links
0 votesGreat suggestion. This is not currently prioritized since it’s a narrower use case compared to the other items on our roadmap.

Visual rep of all folder paths
Reports: Provide a visual map of entire enterprise folder trees. An "org chart" of folders.
When I run a report to provide managers of their data and where it's stored, it's a 10000+ line Excel file that share a path for lines and lines. Can this data be translated into a visual chart? Would be much cleaner. Thanks.

Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold
It would be really beneficial for the Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold (without making them an admin)
0 votesMost legal holds happen at the admin/legal team level, but I understand the request and will reconsider with additional customer use cases.

Shortcut Function for Instant Bookmark Creation
I suggest the implementation of a "Shortcut Function" for immediate bookmark creation when issuing a shared link. Here's how it would work:
Procedure: Right-click on the file or folder intended for bookmarking.
Functionality: A new bookmark (file) is instantly generated and stored in the same folder.
Result: A shared link is automatically associated with the targeted file or folder, with default access permissions.The generated bookmark can be easily moved or duplicated to necessary folders, serving as a centralized shortcut for convenient access to the targeted file or folder.
This addition would significantly enhance user efficiency and contribute to…2 votes -

Allow users to share built workflows
Allow workflow builders to share their workflows with each other. Currently workflows need to be rebuilt by each user whereas it would save a lot of time to be able to share these workflows that have already been built.

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…

BOX Error when transferring files from Public to All other Folders
The error message when transferring files from Public to All Other Folders is a little misleading. I would argue here that the system is asking for more of a confirmation before proceeding as opposed to reporting an error. The fact that this says “error occurred” and shows up in red doesn’t do a good job of conveying that you can do this if you click the Details button … just a question of whether you know what you are doing or not.

We would like it if in reporting, we could get some more information when a shared link has been modified. As in, when it changes from “Item Share Updated” to actual details about what happened to the shared link. The verbiage could mean a number of things, and it makes it unclear to the admin what happened. A few of the things that this can mean are: Access type changed to people with the link, access type changed to people in your company, access type changed to invited people only.

Hide annoying Move Items security warning popup message
Ability to suppress user popup security notification that warns about moving file will make content available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
Move Items
This content will be available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
You have chosen to move the selected item to the folder 'folder-name'. This folder has collaborators outside of your company and has a public shared link enabled. Do you want to continue?

Include Folder Description in File/folder reports
Due t the large amount of files, folders and collaborators (internal and external) in our organization we heavily rely on folder/file reports to manage content and educate new users about the content layout. Being able to include the "Folder Description" in this report would be TREMNDOUSLY helpful. Is this something you could add in the very near future? Thank you.

"search filter" "folder location" unselecting parent still requires to unselect all subfolders
Asume, when running a search and selecting File Type "Folders" and an "owner", the search results delivers thousands of folders.
Now I want to use the filter option to exclude a parent folder which I know has several hundred subfolders, but unselecting the parent folder does require me to sunselect all the subfolders inside of the parent folder one by one...
This is not practical and unselecting a parent folder should also exclude all subfolders from that parent.
Actually I had never seen it the way it is implemented in Box...4 votes -
Passwords on File Request links

Ability to color code folders per agency within an Enterprise account while in the web portal view.
To clarify/differentiate different agencies/companies under our main Enterprise, we would love to have the ability to apply color coding to folders in order to make it easier for those individuals who have access to multiple companies.
Thank you!

Allow scheduling of Folder Insights Reports
The ability to schedule the Folder Insights reports (Collaborations | Folder Activity | Shared Links) would open up greater reporting capability and remove manual work in generating these reports.
This is especially beneficial in enterprises where multiple agencies' content is stored, with different agencies having different reporting requirements (i.e. weekly auditing of external collaborators on their content)

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.

Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files
When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
(After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

<フォルダ名・ファイル名の変更時にサポートされていない文字を入力するとエラーを表示させる>現在、フォルダやファイル作成時にBoxでサポートされてるUnicodeの基本多言語面 (BMP)以外の文字を入力するとエラーが表示されます。
しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
(変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。
