Add 'undo' function when updating Box Notes
It is good the file is automatically saved frequently. But the problem is once I delete something accidentally, I have to retype all of them again because I cannot undo what I have just done. It will be more convenient if there is such an "Undo" function like what they have in the office system. Thanks!

A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder
Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?
Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?
Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?
A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This is a feature…

Ability to get list of annotations through an API
I would like to use API to get a list of annotations for a file.
I can use the API to get comments on a file, but not the annotations.
Could you please implement such an API?
For example, something like this.
(e.g.) [GET] https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/annotations/

Copy file url
From a folder, it is easy to create a copy a shared link, as when I hover over the file name, a button appears to the right of the file name. It would be great to be able to copy the file's direct url that easy (as opposed to the 'shared' link)

Persistent cookies
Similar to Okta and Google Drive, we need the ability in Box to set use persistent cookie so the cookie doesn't expire when the browser is closed.
Google Drive allows this by default, and Okta lets us specify the policy for specific users:
( see usePersistentCookie according in https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/policy/#signon-session-object)Workflow:
* launch browser, go to Okta, and log in (our IDP)
* open up the box link - everything works
* close the browser
* open the browser
* I'm still logged into Okta (since I have usePersistentCookie turned on)
* when I go to a Box link, I'm…2 votes -

View embedded widgets on mobile.
The embedded widget is currently not viewable from mobile.
When embedded widgets are supported on mobile devices, security will be ensured by using the videos in the tenant's Box instead of storing them on an external server or streaming service.

Allowing policy creation for longer than 50 years.
We've realized that retention policies have an upper limit of 50 years. If we want to apply a 90 year retention policy to documents based on their creation date we can not do that at the moment.
Though workarounds can be implemented such as applying indefinite policies or creating a policy tight to a date field set up into the future, those require extra effort at implementation level or changes at a future moment.
Could the upper limit be removed or increased please?

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.11 votes -
Enable ability to auto-organize folders (e.g. by Name, Size, Date Updated), rather than manually doing so, similar to my desktop experience
Enable ability to auto-organize folders (e.g. by Name, Size, Date Updated), rather than manually doing so, similar to my desktop experience.
Today, if I create a new folder, it does not automatically fall into the organization structure that I've applied to my folders (e.g. alphabetically). I'd like this to be done automatically.

Option to replace new Recents Carousel with older slider view
I would like an option to replace new Recents Carousel with the former horizontal slider view when using a browser on a PC. On a wide screen the older view is a more efficient use of space.

We need a way to make selected attributes required custom templates, so that when the templates are applied to Folders/Files the user can not save the metadata form bypassing the required metadata.

Additional requirement to know in advance how long it will take to cascade metadata
I would like to improve the time to add the Box metadata instance to the folder.This section explains the background of the improvement request.
The following article from Box states that the time to complete adding a metadata instance to a folder varies depending on the size of the structure.
References:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195873-Cascading-metadata-in-folders・Excerpt from the above article
What is the expected time from file upload to metadata cascade?Applying metadata via the cascade policy is not an immediate action, and may take some time depending on the size of the folder structure.

Collaboration owner will be given an option to select an “email template” a default template or a customized template.

Improved search (not 'search term')
My hope is to search for "other than ●●" and "NOT ●●"
My preferred search method is, for example, There are 3 files. The file names are A, B, C.
I want to enter "not B" in the search. The result is A and C files.
It is usually called "Not search". (in Japan)6 votes -
Delete history of signed PDF
If you delete the signed PDF, it will be completely deleted from the history of the sign menu, so I want a function to display the history that shows the deletion.
署名したPDFを削除すると、signメニューの履歴から完全に消去されるので、削除したことが分かる履歴を表示する機能がほしい。
