Allow Shield List of Countries Usable for Access Policies
There may be certain countries a Box customer may be prohibited from sharing with under any circumstance. I suggest making it possible to whitelist or blacklist entire countries by allowing Shield Lists of countries to be included in Access Policies.

Ability to configure Microsoft Teams Chat Files to exclude external user
We would like to be able to set it so that external users are not invited to Microsoft Teams Chat Files.
Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening in the chat settings on the Teams side.
In addition, it is possible to invite external users on Box.(In Japanese)
Microsoft Teams Chat Filesに外部ユーザーが招待されないように設定できるようにしてほしい。

Ability to print PDF documents without downloading
In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).
As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.
The current user path for printing a PDF is:
1. Open a PDF in box webapp
2. download it to desktop
3. Open in another PDF viewer (chrome, adobe reader etc)
4. PrintThe desired user path could be:
1. Open a PDF document in the document list
2. PrintOR
1. Print selected PDF document straight from the documents list(or folder).In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).

Request for resolving the problem of retrieving group memberships
I wish the following problem will be fixed :
We are able to see the issue when retrieving group membership datas if the group have multiple users having the same name and get membership with multiple offset.
For example, there are two users having the same name and both of users is a member of the group. If we request all of membership for the group with multiple offset, the endpoint of group may only include one of both, not include another user in the response.I have submitted this incident to Box support ticket(#2387523), and received an answer that the engineering team of Box do not believe the impact of this is significant enough to prioritize at this moment...

This gets us a step closer to the vision of Box as the single place for all content.
Today, even though I have Box, employees can still save into Google Drive, which creates security, governance, privacy, and other risks.

Box Tools(or other app) Reports
Ability for Box Admins to run reports to see users who have Box Tools(or other Box Apps) installed. It would make it easier and more efficient for us to contact users who need to update to the latest version if we knew who had which apps and what version.

Box report on keyword
BOX report does not have a feature to create a report based on keyword. For example I wanted to find out any folder named Ring Central but there is no way to do it. It only searches for the entire of our box and sometimes fails to give us the report

moving a file within a folder
As in Datasite, I wanted to move a file to a higher hierarchy within a folder (say file #4 should actually become #1), and also number the files (or folders within a folder) so we can talk about a number., not a full name. In Datasite you just drag and drop the file or folder and move location. Can this happen in Box as well? Thank you

LocalSystem sees current user's Proxy settings during automatic Box Tools update
Box Tools Automatic Updates:"Box Edit Upgrade Service", please make sure that LocalSystem refers to the current user's Proxy settings as well as Box Drive automatic update.
If the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" is LocalSystem, the automatic update of Box Tools will fail. By changing the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" from LocalSystem to the current user, communication via Proxy will be possible and the update will be successful. Also, by setting the Proxy setting equivalent to the current user for LocalSystem with the following command, Box Tools will be updated automatically.
bitsadmin /Util /SetIEProxy LocalSystem Manual_Proxy <Server name>:<Port number>
With the above settings, services running on all other Local Systems also communicate via Proxy, which affects other systems and is not an appropriate measure.

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 on their own computer, the path breaks.
We also all are using box drive to work locally rather than in a browser.
I know we can copy or email a shared link to people, but that takes you to view it in a browser.
What would be AMAZING if at all possible, would be for box to either be able to detect if a user has box drive installed and when they click the shared link, it instinctively knew you had it installed and throw a popup that says, "Would you like to open this link in box drive on your computer?" (or something similar) or if the browser view could identify that the viewer has box drive installed and include a button in the browser view that says something along the lines of "reveal in box drive"
I know that Zoom can do something like this. when you click a zoom link to join a meeting, it takes you to your browser and shows a popup "Do you want to allow this page to open “zoom.us.app”?" and you can click Allow and it launches zoom.

I would like to see BoxWeb implement a function to sort files by extension.
The current BoxWeb does not allow sorting by file extension.
However, in some fields, a large number of photos and videos are often taken for measurement and development work, and many types of files are miscellaneously stored in a single folder.For example, when searching for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...) For example, if you are looking for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...), you can search for them by file name, but you may also want to check them by file extension.
We currently use a method of dividing files into categories by file type, such as blocks of image files, blocks of video files, blocks of Excel files, etc., and finding the file you are looking for in each category.
However, the current specification of Box does not allow sorting and displaying by file extension, so it cannot support the need to sort files roughly by file type.Therefore, I would like to be able to sort files by file extension.

現在のBoxWebでは拡張子による並べ替えができません。
しかし、ある分野におきましては、計測・開発業務などで大量の写真や動画を撮影することが多く、一つのフォルダの中に多くの種類のファイルが雑多に入っています。例えば画像ファイル(.png/.jpg/etc...)を探す場合、ファイル名などを使って探すのも一つの方法ですが、拡張子ごとにまとめての確認を行いたい場合もございます。
ファイルの種類でカテゴリごとに分割し、画像ファイルのブロック、動画ファイルのブロック、Excelファイルのブロックなど、ファイルの種別単位に分かれた中から目当てのファイルを見つけるという方法を現在は使用しております。
しかし、現状のBoxの仕様では拡張子毎の並べ替え表示が出来ないため、ファイルの種類で大まかにファイルを仕分けしたいニーズに対応できません。そのため、拡張子毎のファイルの並べ替えができるようにしていただきたいです。

Email Notification for specific documents or tags
In the current version of the Box product, there is no feature available to notify a user or a user group for that matter, of any uploads of specific file types or specific tags on files.
We would like for our users to be able to be notified of uploads of specific files in a given folder instead of being inundated with notification emails for every upload done in a folder.

Add total number of pages in certificates of completion
Only the page on which the signature field is located is indicated in the certificate of completion. Adding the total number of pages of the signed document in the certificate of completion would be a very valuable piece of information that would help provide evidence that the signer accessed/had access to the complete document

Slow video preview
Video files take way too long until the preview starts. Shuttling is not possible until completely buffered.
To solve this, the preview could be converted in the background into a more web friendly file that starts immediately and allows shuttling. As offered by many other services.
