  1. display request for Try this API

    In the API reference Try this API displays Response Headers and Response Body. It would be nice if it also displayed the request URL and maybe request headers and body depending on HTTP type.

    Cheers...

  2. Don't notify user when storage is only 70% full

    Got this notification today "Yikes, your storage is almost full. Get unlimited storage and advanced business tools to securely safeguard all your personal data."
    Went to my account details and saw I'm only 31Gb out of 50gb.
    A bit dramatic!

  4. Admin Console insights for Daily Active Users, Monthly Active Users and Power Users

    We would like to see insights for users in Admin Console like the Box Customer Success Manager visualizes. For example,
    - Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User
    - % of Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User versus Deployed Users
    - Who are Power Users

  5. Change order of the buttons in web interface

    Putting the "Trash" and "Download" buttons right next to each other in the web interface is a recipe for disaster. About 5 times a day I accidentally click trash instead of download.

  7. Thumbnail previews of documents should show file type: docx vs pdf

    The new BOX.Com format no longer shows Word Docs with a Symbol vs PDF with
    a different symbol.

    i.e. they have removed the prior, very visual, cues as to document type.
    We can still see EXCEL symbol, but hopefully that will not be lost

    This is a problem for us since we have many documents with long names, and
    can't always see the final extension
    Not to mention visual cues are exceedingly useful and helpful.

  8. If I use Box Drive,my computer's local Recycle is not available ?

    Whenever a file is deleted from my computer's local Box Drive, it doesn't go in the trash itself. I am not able to see the file in my computer's local trash, it has synched to Box Driver in the first place.

  9. View Tags in Collections

  10. Easy way for co-owners to see the deletion operations of collaborators in a co-owned folder.

    Currently, only the owner of the item and the user who deleted the item can see the deleted item from the Recycle Bin.
    Users with co-owner rights will not be able to see/restore deleted items in folders that they co-own.
    Co-owners are not authorised to output reports.

    In some cases, tenants who are managed by closed folders ask co-owners to manage the folders.
    One of the key roles of the co-owners is likely to be to ensure that necessary items are not deleted by the collaborator.
    We want an easy way for co-owners to see the deletion operations of collaborators…

  11. Nested folders

    With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:

    Collections:
    Project1-folder1
    Project1-folder2
    Project1-folder3
    Project2-folder1

    I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.

    Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive too.

  12. Unable to see external items via API

    Currently the API works differently than the UI. in the UI a user can see files/folders that were shared with them from an external (to the org) account, however, when trying to query for the visible items via the API these do not show.
    In addition - if you try to get the details of specific items shared by an external user you get an error when using the API, which is unfortunate since this causes 2 classes of behavior that are inconsistent between the UI and the API.

  13. Dark Mode Option

    I think it would be nice to be able to either turn on a Dark Mode when I'm in a browser at Box.com or, have an option to select a different background color.
    Just one of those folk who have a time with bright white light ..

    It is not currently prioritized in the near future. However, we are putting systems in place so that we can enable the dark mode in the future.

  14. Better reporting / auditing of folders marked for offline use

    Have better audit trails around the 'marked for offline use' feature. Be able to generate reports such as all the folders marked for offline use for a user and when they were marked for off line use (or 'umarked').

  15. Support the SheetView when using Excel Online by Box Edit

    When filtering an excel file on Box by Excel Online, the filter does reflect to the other users. We would like an option to have the independent filter between users. For Microsoft environment, the Sheet View is now generally available so we want the same functionality on Box as well.

  17. Visible Folder Tree Setting

    Problem: users often have files/folders shared with them by collaborators, and the titles of these folders can be the same - e.g. 3 folders all named "Photos." Without clicking into these folder, you don't have context as to who owns it/where it came from.

    Request: Allow folder owners to decide if they will allow folder tree visibility on their collaborated folders. This would provide context without giving direct access to content they should've have access to.
    e.g. They can add Folder Visible on an upstream folder and they would see the folder but no content until they get to the…
