Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview
I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.
examples:
myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt
.json as .txt
.funky as .mdI say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

Accessibility - Update 'Not Part of [Organization]?' text on company-specific URL's to indicate that it is a link for screen readers
We have a company URL, for example organization.box.com; there is a link that reads, "Not a part of [organization]?" Clicking it brings you to the generic Box login page. However, this text is not handled correctly by screen readers. We propose that this should be updated for the benefit of our current and future clients who may rely on a screen reader.
From our accessibility department: "So when the screen reader gets to that line, it does not indicate that it needs to be clicked "if you are not part of [the organization]." It is vague, and does not guide a vision impaired user to the correct action, assuming they’re not [a member of the organization]."

Streamline File Naming in Box Mobile App: Allow User-Defined or Auto-Generated Filenames
Ability to have a setting that allows the user to choose name a file OR for Box to provide the filename.
Currently the way the mobile app works - user uploads the file, then selects it and then renames it is too many clicks, and not an ideal way of easily adding content.

Whitelisting Access Using Managed User Groups
Companies frequently hire contractors and provide them with company email addresses to access internal networks and applications. This creates an issue with contractors having visibility into an entire folders and not just the projects/folders that apply to them. Shield's whitelisting capabilities allow us to limit external email domains, but because contractors are given a company email domain the whitelisting capabilities do not apply.
We would like to be able to create a "Consultants" Managed User Group and whitelist access to break waterfall permission for internal Managed User Groups.

Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs
When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.
We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

file preview, upload and download api
Right now we are missing information about the number of times a file has been downloaded or previewed using the API endpoint 'get file information' https://developer.box.com/reference/get-files-id/
We can only access this info through the admin console reports. It would be useful to access this info directly using the API1 vote -
Retain annotations in subsequent version(s) of a document
We use annotations when a group of us is proofing and suggesting edits to a document. When we're finished, when the designer makes our edits to the document, and then uploads a new version. Unfortunately, once the new version is uploaded, unlike general comments, the annotations are gone so we can't check in our changes. It would be great if you could make it possible to view annotations from the previous version of a document. Right now, the only workaround is to avoid using annotations, or to open the previous version of the document in a separate browser window and compare the windows side by side. Thanks!

Add “Specify when started” option in “Send a notification” outcome
There is an option “Specify when started” in “Assign a task” outcome. It would be convenient to have a similar option in “Send a notification” outcome, since the recipients might vary depending on who started the workflow.

Limit the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders and specific user-owned content.
When using metadata, it is important to gain the benefits of adding and managing metadata templates, but at present, anyone with authority can use any metadata template.
You can manage your content more sophisticatedly by limiting the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders.13 votes -

Change or delete ”People in your company” in link settings.
In our company, not only the headquarters, but also the operating companies use Box in the same Box tenant.
Therefore, the domains of all companies, including operating companies, are registered in Box as domains to be managed.
However, even though we are an operating company, there is a lot of information that we do not want other group companies to see.The average user misunderstands the "People in your company" permission in the shared link as referring to their own company.
However, in reality, if we select "People in your company," users from other companies will be able to view our shared links.Please add a setting that allows us to select only "People with the link" and "Invited people only" permissions for the shared link.
We don't need "People in your company" as it would cause confusion.当社では、本社だけでなく事業会社も同じBoxのテナントでBoxを使用しています。
そのため、事業会社を含めたすべての会社のドメインが、管理対象のドメインとしてBoxに登録されています。
しかし、事業会社とはいえ、他のグループ会社には見られたくない情報もたくさんあります。一般のユーザーは、共有リンクにある(会社)のユーザー」という権限を、自分の会社を指していると誤解しています。
しかし、実際には、「(会社)のユーザー」を選択すると、他の会社のユーザーも共有リンクを見ることができてしまいます。共有リンクの権限を「リンクを知っている全員」と「招待されたユーザーのみ」のみ選択できる設定を追加してください。

Auto-size content search manager as you go down the tree
When using the content search manger, the further you go down the tree the less of the folder name you see. This view should auto-expand to show the full name of the folder not just the the first couple characters.

”Box Edit” ”logs”
About the addition of the automatic log deletion function of Box Edit
I understood that the current maximum value for log storage is as follows
（現在のログ保存の最大値は以下のようになっていると理解しています。）・Box Edit log: 5 files with a maximum of 5MB per day
・Local Com Server Log: 5 files of up to 5MB per day
・Upgrade Service Log: 10 files with a maximum of 10MB per dayAlthough there is an upper limit per day, the Box Edit logs will continue to accumulate forever.
We are concerned that if we use the system for a long period of time, the storage capacity will keep increasing and it will affect us.
Can you please add a function to delete them automatically?（1日あたりの上限は設けられているが、Box Editのログが永遠にたまり続けることになります。
長期間利用した場合に、ストレージ容量が増え続けてしまい、影響が出ることを危惧しています。

Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.
I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

I have several reviewers that need independent approve/reject in parallel (simultaneously) rather than serially.
We have 5 reviewers for a task, each having different elements they are responsible for reviewing. Currently we can require they each approve independently, however if one rejects the task is ended for all, regardless of whether they've reviewed it or not, approved it or not.
We need 100% independent approve/reject
