Create Colorized folder icons for externally shared folders
We would like an additional color (besides grey, blue, yellow) for folders that are shared with external people.
10 votesWe decided to add an external collaboration indicator within details sidebar to solve for indication of external sharing status as introducing colorized icons solely to indicate external sharing status would not be accessible.

On the browser interface, the option to Sync and Download should be the top two options in the menu
On the browser interface, the option to Sync a file or folder is in the secondary, “More Options” section of the fly-out menu. Shouldn’t "Sync" and "Download" be the top two options on the fly-out menu? That’s what most of us want to do when we use the browser interface.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! While we’re always looking for ways to improve usability on the site, we don’t plan to make this change since we’re moving toward the ‘Mark for Offline’ feature with the newer Box Drive desktop app as the long-term replacement for the ‘syncing’ features of Box Sync.
If you haven’t checked out Box Drive, I recommend downloading it and trying it out, especially now that it allows you to view all of your Box folders and files directly within Windows Explorer / macOS Finder on your desktop, and you can simply right-click a folder and choose ‘make available offline’ right from your desktop too.

Make it easier for users to specify their preferred text editor (or any other type of editor)
In many tech companies, different developer staff have different preferences on what text editors to use when editing files with Box Edit. Although the default editor for text files can be changed by modifying a registry key on the user's PC, the customer IT team (who does not like the idea of users modifying their PC registry) would like to have a user option where the user can specify their preferred text editor (similar to what is currently available in the Box user settings for Word, PPT and Excel files).
1 voteThe Box Edit app relies on the ‘default’ app settings that you have chosen at the OS-level (meaning in Windows settings or macOS settings) for what is the ‘default’ app for opening a given file type. If you’d like a specific file type opened in a different desktop app on their computer, simply change your default app settings within your Windows or macOS settings.
We only have a native preference in the Box web app when a specific file type has additional cloud-based editing integrations available on Box (like Office files, for example).

Ability to set different permissions based on where the user is accessing from (i.e. either from inside or outside of the company network)
We want the ability to control permission based on where the user is accessing from. For example, if the user accesses from inside the company network (IP range) they shall have editor permission. But if user accesses from outside, they shall have preview only permission.

Improve CORS whitelist wildcard support
I would love to be able to use wildcards in CORS with a little more specificity. In particular, for review apps on Heroku, you will have a url that is auto-generated for each pull request, so something like http://my-app-dev-pr-523.herokuapp.com. I would like to be able to add http://my-app-dev-pr*.herokuapp.com to the CORS list but it currently flags that is an improper URL so I have to do the much more broad (less secure) http://*.herokuapp.com

Increase the number of search results
Box Drive only returns 25 results, even though there are results more than that. The website returns more than Box Drive.

Allow for creation of custom permission levels (roles).
We want to share files to an external collaborator, but want to restrict the download and allow editing.
Request: Add new custom roles and assign them preview, link, edit, and they would have to use our Office 365 to modify within Box?

Rollback option when db crash
After creating folder or uploading files into box there will be chance of occuring backend database crash or lose connection between datasource . In this case we should roll back our transaction(like revert folder creation or file upload).
1 voteMany actions in both are idemptotent and can be safely retried. For those which are not, it is the responsibility of a client to implement transaction guarantees if required. There are common patterns for this such as the two-phase commit and SAGA pattern. If there is more information for a specific capability that is required to faciliate these, please add that to the comments.

Customize mobile usage by group
Actually it is just possible to customize usage of mobile devices for the complete enterprise. But different group may have different needs (e.g. Sales may use mobile applications, while R&D may not use any mobile device at all).

Expose EXIF Metadata in the Box Drive when Media (Photo, etc.) is Uploaded via Box Drive or Web App
We sort hundreds of thousands of photos taken by our users. We need to be able to sort within Box Drive in a Windows Explorer view, and one of the ways they sort is via the Date Taken attribute.

Ability for the Admin to choose which reports a group admin can run
Currently the option is to allow or disallow group admins to run reports. Admin wants to disable certain reports but not others.
