When inviting a user with a secondary address, please show them in the collaboration list with the email address (secondary address)
Currently, when you invite a collaborator with a secondary email address, the primary address is displayed in the collaboration list.
However, when you invite someone with a secondary email address, I would like to see the secondary address you invited displayed in the collaboration list, instead of the primary address.If the address is different from the one you invited, it will be confusing if the inviting party doesn't know the primary address.

現在はセカンダリのメールアドレスでコラボレータを招待した時にプライマリアドレスがコラボレーション一覧に表示されます。
しかし、セカンダリアドレスで招待した際、コラボレーション一覧にプライマリアドレスで表示されるのではなく、招待したセカンダリアドレスを表示してほしいです。招待したアドレスと違う場合、招待した側がプライマリアドレスを把握していないと混乱するためです。

Add a folder in Bulk
It would be nice to have the ability to create a folder one time, but as a waterfall in hundreds of other folders. Instead of adding the same sub-folder under all 300 main folders individually, there needs to be a way to add the same sub-folder to all main folders in one step.

relay in progress view showing too many tasks
Box lacks a dedicated way to see what tasks require my immediate attention.
Tasks "in progress" show all tasks I haven't worked on, plus all tasks that my (former) colleagues have not yet finished. As we have some group tasks that not all colleagues respond to, the list of tasks is getting very long and makes it very hard for me to organise my work.
A dedicated view "my open tasks", holding only the tasks that require an action for me, would greatly help.

Ability for users to edit user name with special characters
Admins can update user names with the following characters: ! $ % ^ & = . + { } : ; / ? > < | ~ _ `. But users can't modify their name with those characters on the Profile screen of the user's individual Account Settings.

Relay lite: allow admin to change the workflow owner
Box Relay creates a workflow (Folder creates a task that requests invoice processing and is used to manage outstanding tasks) that enables clerical employees to process invoices more efficiently. However, when the employee is transferred, the workflow that has been created is not transferred to the next person in charge. If a useful workflow can be managed as a company, not as an individual (Change the workflow owner for contact changes), it will be very useful for business efficiency.

Java SDK Readtimeout setting
Right now in order to not have issues with client applications, we are setting the ConnectionTimeout=60 seconds, and ReadTimeout = 60 seconds.
In our applications we are uploading/downloading files, and doing Searches. So we need the higher readtimeout for those operations as it will take some time for the API's to respond, especially in the afternoons EST.
We would like to be able to set the readtimeouts depending on the exact API being called.
ie BoxFile.getInfo() should have a much lower readtimeout than BoxFile.download()

Include device identification in Device Trust logs
We think it would be valuable to be able to identify a specific device failing Device Trust. Either MAC address or computer name would be useful. Computer name would be the preference.
This to positively identify the device end users are using to connect. As we were implementing Device Trust we ran into numerous situations where end users were connecting from multiple devices and not transparent with us that they were using multiple computers.3 votes -
Collaborator invitation "accepted" email notification
Currently the default setting Account Settings > Sharing > Collaborating on Content is checked to automatically accept incoming collaboration invitations. I would like to request this setting be off by default as we've had many users ask why they receive an email immediately after inviting a collaborator and later found out that the person had never accepted the invite.
It would also be helpful if there was a Date Accepted column added to the Collaborators page that allows you to see when the collaborator accepted the invite. Currently there is only a Date Added column.
Thank you

Change a specification of the PST time given when conflicting item's name on Box Relay.
Currently, no matter what timezone users/enterprise set in its settings, the PST timestamp will be added to the item's name when conflicting name on Relay.
The specification will be changed to add the date and time depending on the user/enterprise settings.

One of the link icons should merely copy the url instead of a pop up window
I was told by someone on your Twitter team to send my feedback here. Essentially on the row of each file or folder in box there are two icons in which you can click to access the link for that file or folder if you have created a share link. One of them should merely copy the link to the clipboard instead of bringing up that window where are you can invite people etc. Ideally the icon in the middle to the left of the date.

We are unable to respond when Geodetection alerts are triggered. Would greatly appreciate ability to prevent access.
We have had a # of Geodetection alerts from users with unexpected IP addresses accessing shared links. Currently, we are unable to block these users, so we can only remove files after the fact. Our security team is requesting an ability to prevent this access (potentially with an ability for admins to override and allow the access).

Product Support - I need phone support and remote desktop control.
I have a small business with 6 employees and we all share using box drive. I have spent about 3-5 hours over the past 2 weeks in the "chat" and email support world trying to solve a problem. I need phone support. and I need box to remotely control my desktop to solve problems. I do not have an IT department.

Autosave in Box Drive
I don't understand why this isn't already happening, but please create an Autosave function for Box Drive that saves content every few minutes automatically. This way, when your computer crashes and you were working on a file in Box Drive, you won't lose 6 hours of work just because you didn't hit the save button. Same as OneDrive- your competitor. Please see if you can make this update soon. Thank you.

Action Item Register
As a user of BOX I would like to be able to have one consolidated lists of all the action items that arise during meetings and I capture in the agenda template provided by Box. This way I can keep track of these action items in one place rather than having to open each agenda/meeting minutes document to list these in another location for tracking purposes.

provide a way to auto-check the 'Only one assignee is required to complete this task' checkbox
This is when you are adding approval tasks to a document. If you forget to check this, it can lead to everyone in a group having to go in and approve the document before it can be completed.

Support preview of script files such as Powershell .ps1 and .psm files
Preview fails on Box Web for Powershell scripts having a ps1 or other related extension.
Ideally this would allow one to look at the current as well as prior versions of the file in Box Web without having to download each version separately.6 votes -
Make bulk user upload more robust and improve error notifications
I attempted to bulk-add ~250 users. This turned into a long run of whack-a-mole and required Box Product Support intervention because:
a) Rows that did not have errors were not processed
b) Rows that did have errors sometimes failed silently (sometimes perhaps caused by secondary email addresses or external email addresses)My net experience was getting not-particularly-actionable errors like this:
Because some of the information in the file you uploaded may have contained errors or conflicts, not all users were added to your Box account successfully.
Of the 221 users in the file you uploaded, 221 users were not added due to possible errors in their information.
