Allow multi-file downloads greater than 20GB by streaming as gzipped tar
Downloading multiple files via the Box web interface is currently limited to a total file size of 20GB. I assume this is due to needing server-size storage to create a temporary zip file for the download. If, instead, there were an option to download the selected files in gzipped tar format, there would be no-need for additional server-side storage (because both tar and gzip are streaming formats) and there would be no need to cap the download size.

Add the service name that locked file to the Lock property
There is a issue that Box Drive and other third party apps can open files that are being edited in Office Online.
When I am editing a file in Office Online, the user who is editing the file becomes me, so I can edit the file regardless of whether it is locked.
This issue can be solved if we know the name of the service that did the locking.
Therefore, please add the service ID/name that locked file to the Get File API response.1 vote -
Delete tasks once you have completed them, even if others on the task have not
Don’t show tasks that you have completed, but other people on the task (including people that are no longer with the company “a prior collaborator”) have not completed.

Provide an Endpoint to Manage Public/Private Key Pair
To retire and generate a new JWT application's public/private key pair, manual intervention is needed by both the Developer Application owner and the Box Admin. It is very common to require periodic rotation of RSA keys and is often required by internal security standards.

Box Sign - Filter Templates
Would like to be able to filter through templates (by name, date created, or other headers). Would make locating a certain template far easier.

Ability to access Sub-links under shared folders on mobile
Our agency staff commonly sends out content links to customers by navigating to a file or folder under an existing shared folder link, then copying that link and directing customers to the specific content without creating an additional shared link. This is valuable to us because we don't want hundreds of shared links, the original content owner may not be available and we want to direct our customers as quickly and precisely as possible.
However, we found that there is an issue with this method. Those sub-links work just fine for someone with a desktop browser, but if you try it on a mobile device you get the error 'This shared file/folder has been removed'. While you can get around this by either going into the menu and selecting 'Desktop site' or by providing the mobile link, it causes a lot of frustration and confusion in the meantime. In addition, the mobile link format doesn't play nice with SharePoint, so we end up doing additional workarounds to make that work!
We have submitted tickets regarding this issue, but it was indicated that this was expected behavior and a security feature. However, we believe it should work the same regardless of the platform, for both mobile and desktop! The solution recommended was to create a new sharing link for every file or folder being referenced. However, this is not a viable solution, as the content is changing constantly and staff that don’t own the content often need to send links to our customers. Our customers are often not tech savvy, so asking them to navigate down several levels to find the files is also problematic.
The easiest solution, in my opinion, is when detecting a mobile browser (already happening), doing an automatic redirect to the equivelent mobile link. If this feature could be implemented, it would really help us out! Thanks

Not able to see all the overdue tasks for all users
Currently I only can see the overdue tasks assigned to myself and the tasks I sent to others. We would like to see overall overdue tasks for all groups and other users. This overdue report is very important to our business process.

"Garmin Needs ADA-Compliant Box UI for Global Customer Support Integration"
Garmin is in the process of building a customer support integration with file request link to their web pages. They have to adhere to compliance with ADA. With our Box platform API - UI Elements, is not passing their code tests for ADA compliance. This is impacting to compliance requirements as an organization. It could potentially mean that Garmin looks to other technology to support this use case which has a global reach. It is requested to update the UI Elements to meet these ADA requirements.

Request to add the file type "yml" for yaml file to preview
Currently, BOX preview supports the file type "yaml", but file type "yml" is not supported. The 3 characters file extension (it is same as file type) is general especially Windows environment, so I want to support the "yml" file on preview.

We want the update date item shown in the file list to be the date and time of the update.
In the order in which they appear on the file list screen, there is an item called "Updated".
We would like this to include the "Date and Time" of the update, not just the "Date" of the update.Also, the most recently updated items will be listed as "today" or "yesterday" as the date of the update, but we would like to see this listed with the official date.
ファイル一覧画面で表示される順番に、「更新日」という項目があります。
これには、更新日の「日付」だけではなく、更新日の「日時」も含めて記載してほしいと思います。また、最近更新されたものは、更新日が「今日」「昨日」と表示されますが、これは正式な日付で表示してほしいです。

Admin Console - Ability to sort by options in Metadata
I'd love to see sort by options when using a drop down list for the option in Metadata. When you have a large subset of choices, it'd be great to see Alpha Ascending order/descending orders and potentially other filters.

SSO exception
Ability to have exceptions for SSO for specific amdin accounts/test users. Use case: there's a series of admin accounts we use that own folders/content in Box but aren't actual users. Now when we want to turn on SSO - we now have to have OKTA accounts for those accounts and test users, when we'd prefer to just do Box 2FA for those vs. SSO enabled for all

Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query
Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query. Today, we can search for "text AND text2", but it will not generate results until the user submits the full query. This would improve usability.

Ability to logout and delete cache from Box Drive on OS reboot
Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.
The burden of performing this operation on a regular basis is on the end user.It would be easier to use if the logout/deletion of the cache could be done on OS reboot.
（If it automatically re-logon after restarting OS, that would be even better)現状ではキャッシュやエラーをクリアするためにログアウト/ログインする必要がありますが、これは手間がかかります。
この操作を定期的に行うのはエンドユーザーに負担がかかってしまいます。OS の再起動時にログアウト/キャッシュの削除ができればより便利だと思います。
(OS の再起動後に自動的に再ログオンするようになれば更に良いと思います。)11 votes -
Onboarding - Typo on account setup page
Currently, the onboarding setup flow account creation page contains a typo.
The page title is "Setup your Box account | Powered by Box" but it should be "Set up your Box account | Powered by Box" instead. This is because the word "setup" is a noun and "set up" is a verb.
https://app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow
Example of Incorrect Usage: A user wants to setup their account.
Example of Correct Usage: A user wants to set up their account.Please fix this as this is a user-facing component.

Bulk Move Items that are not Updated for a Certain Period of Time
We would like to request for a function that automatically moves items which the last updated date is earlier than a certain period.
For example, if there are items that includes personal data, and those items are not updated for a long time, Box automatically moves those items to a different folder, where access is limited to admins only.

Include Path Collection in the result of Event API
Event API does not include the path collection for updated files. Thus, to get the updated files, another File Info API should be called.
This situation increases the number of API calls and causes the complexity of the client program and the performance issue.
Could you include the path collection in Event API results?291 votes -
Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.
Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
Thanks
