Embedded Widget Video or Link Video
For Videos that are Tagged for View Only (Embedded or Link) types... Remove the Log in and Sign Up options on the Top Right of the Video Player. My goal is to eliminate the possible Move away from my Web Page that is presenting the Video so that I can take full advantage of my Visitor's presence.

Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.
Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.
(This is not same as the filter of "Items I owned" or "Items I deleted".)
Currently we can use owner filtering when searching for content in the Trash.
For further convenience, we need the feature to use filtering even for users who have deleted content.20 votesWe will be providing api support for deleter_user_id and deleted_date in early 2023.

Quicker way to export legal hold info at scale
For enterprises that leverages Legal Holds at a very large scale (hundred of them or more) some would like a quicker snapshot to see which users are custodians under legal holds in their environment, and how much content is being affected (in GBs, without listing every individual piece) without running hundreds of legal holds reports individually to gather this data. A quick check like this would then allow them to decide which legal holds they need to run more granular reports on, saving time and resources

Box Sign on Paper
Box Sign is currently only allowing parties to sign electronically. However, in some countries electronic signature is not fully regulated. Therefore, counter-parties cannot sign electronically. This is very beneficial to allow counter-parties to print, sign and upload the signed document. This is similar to the feature that DocuSign offers. See here: https://support.docusign.com/en/articles/How-to-Sign-on-Paper-Recipient-View

Enable someone to invite others to edit a file or folder through a Shared Link, NOT as a Collaborator.
Currently, I can invite someone to edit my files/folders as a collaborator, but I cannot invite them to edit my files/folders through a Shared Link.

Metadata: enable functionality where users must provide a reason for changing a metadata value on highly protected content
Metadata: enable functionality where users must provide a reason (e.g. a comment) for changing a metadata value on highly protected content.
Possibly, we offer the option to configure Box Shield Classification Tags for this. E.g. The tag could say "metadata changes require justification."

Managing/Drawing Diagrams in Box
Box already integrate MS Office to be able to temporary dowload a office document for edit but also allows to update MS Office documents online in the browser.
I would like to see similar functionality for diagrams.
Draw.IO is a diagram tool that you can use offline and online app.diagrams.net
So it would be easy to provide working with diagrams in Box very easy.Function A: Online Editing of draw.io files with embedded drawio or passing it to app.diagrams.net
Function B: Allows to temporary download drawio files same as with ms office documents.

Document ID on Documents
We would love to be able to have the document ID either added to the document itself, say in the footer, or be added to the name of the document when opening.
That is pretty standard for most document management systems these days.
You will see documents named "12345 v2 Settlement Case" (where the v2 normally indicates the version of the document). It would be nice to be able to have this set at the user level so the user can decide if the doc ID and version are necessary for them.

Set "SSO Required"/"SSO Enabled" for each user
The current "SSO Required" is for all managed users.
When creating "administrator user and general user" as a managed user, there are the following problems.
-It is necessary to create an administrator user ID on the IdP side.
-When accessing as an administrative user, it takes time and effort to log in from the IdP and access Box.
-A license fee will also be charged on the IdP side.If we can set "SSO required" and "SSO enabled" for each user, the problem will be solved.

Use customer's own email gateway to send email notifications
Many customers in regulated industries do NOT like the fact that email notifications from Box come from the Box Service with a noreply@box.com email address. The emails that Box sends on the user behalf do not go through a customer's email security or e-discovery system thus it creates problems in regulated environment that need to capture ALL communications between internal users and external customers. Box needs to have a configuration where a customer can configure their own SMTP gateway that Box can use to send email notifications with the proper TO and FROM data so they can better document and track all communications that come from the Box service.

Improved messaging for "Share" dialog box and handling of Links
I have been using Box for a couple of years and still find the Share function and creation of Links very confusing and non-intuitive. For example, what are "Invited People?" and how are they different than 'People with the Link?" Why have 2 different places to copy the link? One is on the first dialog box and it appears that one takes the viewer to Box.com and they can view or download the file, but then if you click on "Link Settings" adifferent dialog box opens and there is another link you can copy. This one says Direct Link above it. There is no explanation of what that means. I have discovered that that link causes the file to download the file when you click on it. Why not have these two different kinds of links in the same place? Why does the Shared Link Settings section say 'This content is publicly available to anyone with the link..." That doesnt really make sense. The whole handling of links and Sharing files could just use a major overhaul.

Expose Box's "Notification Email" field to SAML provisioning and syncing
The "Notification Email" functionality in Box is very helpful for @mentions, file sharing invites and other user notificaitons that need to go to an email address other than the email address used to sign into Box. This can be the necessary when a company has subsidiaries on a common directory infrastructure, but one or more subsidiaries is still maintain the old email identities for day to day work. There are likely other reasons to use this field.
Email: john.doe@mothership.com (Used to sign in.)
Notification email: jdoe@subsidary.com (The correct email address for user notifications.)Box's SAML integration allows an Identify Provider, Okta for instance, to provision a new user which is great. However, it's not presently possible to populate the data element for "Notification Email" via SAML. This requires a time consuming manual update in Box when setting up a new user.
