Selective Bulk Trash Restoration
Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.
The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.
Example:

box for outlook
Box for Outlook needs to support moving multiple emails to a box folder. Right now, I can only file an email to box one at a time, and the button is greyed out when I have more than one selected. Also ability to show some box folders in Outlook and drag and drop to those folders.

Ability to pin a folder to remain at the top of the main Box Web App screen.
Either a user or an admin should be able to pin a folder.
Using favorites is the current alternative, but for usability purposes and sharing important content, pinning would be helpful as well
48 votesThank you for the suggestion. There are definitely use cases for which this would be useful, but it is not currently prioritized for this year. We will revisit this in the future.

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!

Private annotations
It would be helpful for us to have annotations that are private to the user writing them, rather than being shared with everyone else. This should be a setting an admin would be able to force on a folder so that users can't mistakenly create public annotations.

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…3 votes -
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…

Add a "request to share with me" button to Box folders
Lets say that a folder has Mary as the owner and Bob as the co-owner permissions wise. I would like a button that any other Box user can click on (for example a 'request permission' button) which when clicked, Mary and Bob will receive an email informing them that a user has requested viewer/editor rights for the folder (the user can select what permissions they are asking for). Mary or Bob can easily click an approve or a decline button from the email to grant or deny the access.

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)

Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)
We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.

Share link disclosure range for images and file previews inserted in Boxnotes
It is possible to insert images and share links in Boxnotes and set up file previews, but there are users who can access Boxnotes but cannot see the images or previews because they do not have access to them.
However, users who insert links or images often don't realize that they are restricted because they can see the images or previews.When inserting images or previews into Boxnotes, I would like to see a warning that says "Other users may not be able to see this."
Or a message saying "Would you like to adjust the publishing range of the …4 votes -
Sharing File paths with others in my organization on box drive
Before my company switched to box we had a mac server. When directing people to files on this server we used a utility called PathSnagger where it copied the file path which you could then email to someone and it would become a clickable hyperlink. When you click it, it took you directly to that location on the server. It was great to be able to do this.
With box, we cannot do that any longer with this utility because it copies the fully qualified path to your local computer. file:///Users/[username]/Library/CloudStorage/Box/[folder name]/[file or folder name] and since the recipient is…

Picker: Allow to be configured for files only or folders only
Connections uses picker in different contexts.
For files: allow only file selection, but still allow nav down folder tree. Remove the 'add file' button.
For folders: Allow only folder selection, do not show files. Do not show add files or all files button.

SSO exception
Ability to have exceptions for SSO for specific amdin accounts/test users. Use case: there's a series of admin accounts we use that own folders/content in Box but aren't actual users. Now when we want to turn on SSO - we now have to have OKTA accounts for those accounts and test users, when we'd prefer to just do Box 2FA for those vs. SSO enabled for all
47 votesUnfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap, that being said this is a very interesting request which we may consider in the mid-long term.

Alert users that they cannot add root folders through Box Sync when 'Restrict Content Creation' is turned on
Users are attempting to upload folders to Box Sync which automatically appear as if a root folder would be made (acknowledging that the folder will not upload a red 'x' will appear).
The admin is asking for an alert that reminds the users that they cannot create root folders. Many of their end users have tried to upload folders through sync and assume that they will load despite the 'restrict content creation' setting.

The webapp currently has a 'Size' column that shows item count for Folders, and item size for Files.
