Ability to store tagged images in one folder
Let's say I have a folder full of images of people. I'd like to be able to tag each person and then send them the images that they're tagged in only.

Avoid files loss upon uninstall
The current uninstall app, on macOS, doesn't check on the syncing status of files. It erases the unsynced and cache folders directly, not even moving them to the system Trash.
I've recently followed the process to update the BoxDrive macOS 12 beta and lost one week worth of files that hadn't been synced.1 vote -

Ability to adjust document autosave sensitivity (if not, it makes version history obsolete )
Recently noticed our company document autosaves are soaking up all of our version histories. Box Drive is reading every time a document is edited and autosaved as a new version. Even if you are actively editing the document it still is reading all autosaves the document itself is doing. For Mac Office, this occurs about every minute and there's no way to adjust it. I remember Box Drive being able to know if the document was edited or not upon close or save. This allowed for our version history to go back several months instead of several hours. Very bad bug and makes the version history obsolete. Was working on a master document the other day for 4 hours and it wiped months of past version histories (in our case 51 versions!!!). Is there a workaround to this or is something being planned to make it better? Thanks!

More Options menu floats upwards
Make the More Options menu self-conscious so it knows whether it's entirely visible. I wanted to download the first file and when I clicked on More Options in List View, the Download option was too high up, under the browser menu, where I couldn't access it. I have a screen print but your feedback doesn't allow it to be included (more room for improvement!).

Increase upload limit for files in a folder
For people like myself who have a large number of files that need to be categorized in appropriate folders it is imparative that I make uploading easy for my team members.
Box only allows 500 files per folder, which I understand is to prevent many files being lost at the same time, which I am thankful for.
BUT....
It would be great that during the upload process that box.com automatically created another folder to accommodate any files over the 500 mark.Don't you think?

Advanced web based Text/Code editor functionality
The box is missing a Web-based Text/Code editor, providing capabilities similar to Notepad++ with format & code-based markup using Scintilla-like capabilities.

To be able to lock down folders so they won't be accidentally moved or deleted
With many people working together, sometimes folders can be accidentally dragged off. It would be safer if the basic folder structure be locked down so to avoid accidental deletion and relocation but still allow users to create additional subfolders.
Also, in order to prevent random placement of files, folders/subfolders might also be locked to prevent files from being saved at a certain level.

Box should warn you when you exceed the character limit, not just delete everything you have written when you try to send the invite
It is VERY annoying to write a nice detailed note to the person you are inviting and then have it just disappear bc the character limit has been exceeded. Box should either not allow you to exceed the character limit, or at least have it refuse to send the invite but not completely delete everything you have just written!!!

Allow BoxSign hash anchoring on blockchain like SignRequest had
Allow BoxSign hash anchoring on Blockchain the same way I could using SignRequest.
I've used the "legacy" SignRequest application, and have used the "show blockchain proof of signing in the log" feature.
It would appear that using the latest version of this application, the Box version = BoxSign.
I'm unable to now use this feature.See my request and the use case in which I've used this feature here in this Box Community Forum post.
I am aware that BOXSign has a "pay once = unlimited use case" and this feature doesn't fit into that model as anchoring or placing memos on the chain may incur a small fee.
However this is a feature that I, and I'm sure many others would be willing to "pay per use" for.
https://help.signrequest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020499014-SignRequest-and-the-LTO-Network-BlockchainThank you

Highlight Text and Translate the word
Inside the preview, it would be great when I highlight a text in a file, it would automatically translate the word into a language thats is set on the browser. For example highlighting an English word and translating it into Japanese.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

File request custom theme transparent logo suggestion tooltip
When putting themes for file request, using logos with existing color backgrounds does not look as clean. It would be great to add a tooltip suggestion to use a transparent logo for the user designing the theme.

Box Drive Bandwidth Usage - Can I pause or limit?
"Every time my Box Drive is syncing large (200-500mb) files, it uses as much bandwidth as it can. While in the office, this was rarely an issue. But, working from home, the rest of my household notices very slow internet while I am syncing files. "
Please add a feature that allows us to limit the bandwidth of Box Drive.

I would like to be able to change from a classification with a strict policy to a classification with a loose policy. The reverse should be
For the purpose of strictly protecting confidential information, we want to make it impossible to change from strict to loose permissions, even for users who have the authority to change classification labels. However, with the current Shield function, it is not possible to set the priority of changeability.
One possible way to achieve this is to allow users to set rankings for classifications or policies, and to limit the direction of the rankings.3 votesNot on the roadmap for FY25, will evaluate for FY26

Empty Folder Notification
Someway to turn on notification based on folder or another relay.
Where specific folders cannot be empty, and after a week or so it is empty, we get a notification and alert once a month about it.1 vote -
I am unable to email collaborators because there are more than 500 collaborators in the folder.
Need an option to be able to email collaborators in bulk, regardless of the number. The 500 limit is now forcing me to email collaborators individually.
