Define version limits by user, folder or file
We like the ability to set the number of file versions per user, folder or file
7 votesHi, this is an interesting idea, however, we would be worried about the configuration complexity of adding differing version limits below the enterprise level.

Update folder metadata
I am not able to get complete documentation on Updating folder metadata action for the Box API. Based on the examples I see online, there seems to be body parameter information missing from the box.dev site, and the documentation on the developer.box.com API Reference site is mostly blank.

Add "SSO Discovery Service Page" as a standard feature in Box login flow
We have 5 ID Providers. Box proposed "SSO Discovery Service" to connect 5-IdPs and a Box tenant. But "Discovery Service" needs to build a public web site. We cannot build that site because of their security policy. Please prepare discovery page as a standard feature in Box login flow.
72 votesNot planned for now. When we update admin login flow in FY20 H2, this will be under consideration.

Box Tools install to be shown as "Box Edit" instead of "Box Tools"
While I understand the Box Tools installer also contains the Box Local Com Server application, it is there to support Box Edit so labeling the entire installation more explicitly as Box Edit, instead of Box Tools, will be more clear.
7 votesThanks for your feedback. It’s called Box Tools because it actually contains both Box Edit and Device Trust capabilities in this one installer.

Show icon in Drive for parent folders when sub-folders are marked for offline
Currently, users are easily able to manage the hard drive space being used by BOX by simply checking into their sync folder and deciding then what they may prioritize as necessary to sync or un-sync at a quick glance. Even in the instances where there are multiple folders and sub-folders included, it’s a clear representation of what’s being synced at the time.
These same users currently sync A LOT of files within a fairly deep folder structure, so not having an insight into which folders are taking up space only leaves a user to chicken peck around in the hopes…

Additional approval for large delete actions
We'd like the ability to add an optional multi factor authentication or admin approval while deleting files or folders above some specific amount data e.g 50 GB.
5 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Add ethical walls to collaboration
We'd like to set up controls to prevent certain groups (like Investment Banking) from collaborating with users in a different group (Research).
8 votesThis is currently not planned. We are looking into restrictions that admins could set at this level, but there is nothing planned on the roadmap for this as of now.

Music Playlists (Audio, MP3)
I'd like to see the ability to create multiple named playlists for the Box iOS mobile app. Currently I can only favorite songs which places them into one large playlist. I'd like to be able to create multiple playlists for different genres of music or for the activity I'm engaged in.

Indicate whether a user is a managed user or app user in Admin event stream
Adding a parameter in the Admin event stream which indicates whether the user that took an action was a managed user or app user would make it more efficient for administrators or analytics tools to separate activity by the different user types. In an active enterprise the volume of events may be very great, and having this additional level of specificity would simplify reporting.

Better error message for device limits
If there is a device limit set, the error message when you try logging in from another device should read something similar to: You have reached the max number of devices

Block users by geography
We'd like the ability to block users from accessing our Box environment from certain geographical areas, via a control in the admin console’s insights page (the geographic activity area).
7 votesWhile we like this idea, it is not currently planned at this time.

Reset Governance settings
JFE Steel like to reset Governance setting when Box turned on Governance setting again. JFE Steel set up upload policy when they had POC. Then they did not purchase Governance. When they purchased the Governance later, the setting the customer configured before became effective again. This confused customer. So, Governance setting should be reset when Box turned on the feature.
1 voteThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan to reset Governance settings. We may look into this in the future.

Better detailed logging for iOS app that's available to customers for troubleshooting.
Would like an advanced logging that can be initiated on the iOS Box for EMM app to help capture why uploads fail. It is surprising that there is no “verbose” logging available for the iOS app.

Box for Office integration with Mac OSX
We would like Box for Office desktop integration w/Mac OSX. Some use the web apps for o365. Some use Office 2016 for mac that connects into o365.
38 votesThe Box for Office integration is not available on Mac due to technical limitations, but we do already support a native Mac Outlook integration with Box: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-for-Outlook/Installing-Enabling-and-Disabling-Box-for-Outlook/ta-p/66374

Custom Terms of Service - Archive of Previous ToS Text
Currently, when changes are made to the text in an existing custom ToS, Box does not save the original text that was signed off by previous users. Only the most up to date version of the text will be available in Box. I would like to request that, for compliance reasons, there's an archive of previous ToS available so it is clear which specific language each user has signed off on.
1 voteWe don’t have immediate plans to address TOS. We’ll want to see other feedback related TOS before determining if it makes sense to revisit.

[android] mutiple directory sync
Hello,
in mobile app , can we have option to have multiple from-to pairs of folder to sync instead only one?
Eg. I'd like to have sync from/to mobile
- documents,
- photos
- music
- exported data from app 1
- backup from app 2
- etc
all of those are in different places on mobile device and they will go to different places on box.If you want, can you check nextcloud android app (auto upload section) for inspiration.

Fix iOS Microsoft Office Security - No Pin Required
If you have Box Mobile App installed and a Pin is enforced, your data is protected by pin every time you launch the app. If you install iOS Excel or Word and then sign into the application/authorize, anytime you launch word or Excel you are not prompted to sign in again and there is no passcode enforced on either of those apps. They have full access to all documents in your Box account. Box Device Trust and EMM will not enforce or protect this either and is easily bypassed since this is an Application Integration, you don't even need Box…
4 votesBox cannot enforce pin codes on third-party apps.
