How can I specify a file type to ignore or block
I found a thread on the forum (URL copied below) which was asking exactly what I am looking for. However, it is 4 years old and this page also has many ideas suggested but they haven't been addressed. Thus, I am not sure if my idea will be addressed but I will mention it anyway.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360052391193-How-To-ignore-FilesThere are certain files I want Box sync to ignore or block. I would suggested allowing the user to create a configuration file in the root folder for the same in which we can specify files to ignore or block. This way, Box sync…

Ability to automatically convert Unicode @ (atmark) to single byte
When non-English users try to use @mention in comment or annotation, they often type @ (atmark or at sign) character with their native language (mostly double bytes, Unicode).
Just like other cloud services (like Slack), please add ability to automatically recognize and convert double bytes atmark to single byte atmark for non-English user conveniences and to help drive user adoption of these features.
Reference for at sign character code (Wikipedia):

Add account info to Box application window
One of our users recently asked the following:
"In the Box drive alert window, the Box Drive Settings gear icon doesn't
do anything useful. Please add an actual settings window with basic
information like file space used, buttons for pause/restart syncing, etc.The Box Drive window is an alert style window that disappears anytime a
mouse is clicked or any other window is interacted with. This is the
case in Windows 7 through Windows 11. It would be better if Box Drive
had an actual application window like most other apps."I know that manual syncing isn't possible yet in…

Recommend a new permission level that is the same access as "Viewer" but the "Viewer" to share at the same level
The sharing level of "Viewer" is beneficial to share approved documents through Duke Box. In our capacity the information in the approved document that is shared with the owner as "Viewer" should also be accessible to other individuals that the owner deems appropriate so these individuals know exactly want is approved, what is expected of them, and how to remain compliant. Because we issue the approval and maintain the final document and do not manage the owners group that needs access to the approved document, it would be very beneficial if, after the document owner gets "Viewer" permission to the…

Users and Groups - Move "More Options" [...] Menu to Left-Hand Side of Page
Admins regularly take repeated actions in the Users and Groups tab of the Admin Console - specifically Log in as User, and Add User to Groups. If the menu could be close to the user's name, this would make manual processing much easier for admins.

Ability to hide feed updates by folder level
Like others have mentioned before, Feed can be too busy to make it useful. There are many folders I am invited in where I don't need to see updates. It would be useful to have the ability to silence those folders on your feed so you are only getting updates from the folders you are interested in.

Make external folders more obvious in Box Drive and Box Web
Currently internal and external folders are comingled in Box. Although collections can help organise data in the web app, for those who predominantly use Box Drive this could potentially lead to a DLP issue, particularly where the internal and external folders have nearly identical names. In both Box Drive and Box Web it would be great to be able to choose your own colour coding for these folders e.g. anything external showing red, or the ability to group all of your external folders under one main EXTERNAL folder.

Silent contextual menu Copy Shared Link on desktop
There’s a popup dialogue box every time I try to share a file from the contextual drop down menu on the desktop. This is very disruptive to the process and adds needless time. I do this frequently and Box is asking me to confirm with an extra step.
The internet is inundated with pop ups. Data privacy groups are actively trying to rescind cookie pop-ups because users are overwhelmed.
My point being, this is a bad user experience.
I understand there's a need to notify users that the system is calling out to an external app. Unfortunately, it's at the…

Unmanageable API Key Whitelists
Enterprises with a lot of active software development groups have unmanageable API Key whitelists. This manifests in a lot of ways.
There is no way to limit API Keys to development (limit liability). Typical dev-qa-prod cycle requires 3 API keys. No way to associate API Keys to specific projects. There is no way to tell if old API Keys are still in use.
13 votesDelivered - we have removed the allowlist for user auth apps and moved those apps to the new user auth tab. Details here: https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/custom-apps-manager-updates-c79ccf8ebe97
Sandbox enhancements are being tracked separately.

Preventing all users with an email address in a managed domain from creating accounts
We noticed that a box.com account was used to create a Box user in our managed domain. Box mentioned that we can turn off auto enrollment which makes all users with a domain email address managed, but we really want to prevent users for which we have not automatically created Box accounts for from making a managed or unmanaged account.
I would like to suggest an additional admin control that could prevent users from signing up at box.com using their domain email address.

Allow groups to be specified as 'notified to' in Box Shield Threat Detection Rules
Only user accounts can be specified for the 'Notification Destination' of the Threat Detection rules in Box Shield.
Since maintenance is required when the person in charge changes, it should be possible to specify a group.■In Japanese：
Box shieldに存在する検出ルールの「通知の送信先」は、ユーザーアカウントのみが指定できます。
担当者が変わったときメンテナンスが必要になるので、グループを指定できるようにしてください。1 vote -
Ability to Sort comment order by page
When using Adobe Document Cloud, it keeps comments grouped on the same page versus oldest to newest. It's useful when reviewing one page at a time. Can we get a sort filter system that allows: by page, oldest, newest, commenter?

Allow Shield Location Rule Restriction By Folder
Currently Shield's Location Restriction rule is applied to the entire EID by user/groups. It would be helpful to be able to set this up by specific folder(s) or folder structure.
Ex. Team A is not allowed to view specific content while in Location X, however Team B is able to. Currently the restriction would be set on the EID level and both teams would be under this restriction.
We could exclude group B or other groups from the rule however Group A would still be restricted from accessing other content within the EID.

Folder specific usage reports
A number of our teams need the ability to run usage reports based on the folder in contrast to the typical usage report which is based on the user/group.
We want to store highly sensitive documents in Box but need visibility into this kind of activity. This would also function as a very scalable way of measuring content adoption for the Team Leads.

Limit editing to 'On the Web' only or blocking box sync form folders
We have Excel files that a group of users over 8 different sites make moves adds and changes every day. we have box sync which doesn't lock the file, the agreed access for these teams is via the web and web excel only... But some users who know better only use excel via box sync so we end up with errors and staff saying box is no good...

Allow control over Box notification emails
Currently, notification emails are sent immediately whenever users or groups are granted access to Box content (such as folders, files, or Box Hubs).
Please provide the ability to control whether these notification emails are sent and when they are sent, helping organizations manage large-scale migrations, organizational changes, and phased rollouts more smoothly.
