New update with the search bar on the top is inconvenient.
Definitely prefer the search bar at the bottom closer to the box drive link. It's just easier to use there for fast searching. Less distance the mouse has to travel, and eyes are already focused there.

MS One Note integration needed
I use MS One Note very often and would like the ability to share with Box however there are many issues and end up saving the One Note file on a shared drive which does not have the same features as Box...I am trying to move away from utilizing shared drives and using Box primarily, however issues like One Note imcompatibility are preventing me from moving away from shared drives.

On Box Notes collaboration modal, display more than 5 candidate users when inviting users.
Currently, up to 5 users are displayed on collaboration modal of Box Notes, which is far less than 50 users of webapp. We want Notes to parallel webapp on this.

options dialog when moving and file already exists in destination
Currently, when a file is in the process of being moved from one folder to other and a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder, an error message is given and the operation is candelled.
Maybe an options dialog would be better, asking the user if they want to overwrite (add a new version of) the file, or rename either of the files within the dialog.1 vote -
Function to disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled in the "P
We would like a function to disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled in the "Privacy" folder settings.
If you invite multiple external collaborators, you don't want external people to detect who you are inviting.
There is a function to hide collaborators, but if invited external users use comments, tasks, version history, it will be possible to see who is invited, so we would like to disable these functions I do.4 votes -
Copy file name and URL and path for shared link
The "Copy Shared Link" action in Box Drive (or Copy button in the Share pop-up dialog in the Web UI) should copy more than just the URL.
It should also have the file name and the current Box path so when I paste the link into a chat or email message, it has all the information the recipient will want.<path> > '<filename>"

Box lock security
We just discovered that a user with viewer-uploader permissions can unlock files which our team believes is an unacceptable security flaw. The viewer-uploader level of security is required for a user to create a folder within a folder that we have granted them access to, but other than that level of editing our external invited partners should not have the ability to manage a security feature such as unlocking a file or folder.

I want to be able to make a file available offline rather than the entire folder!
I want to be able to make a file available offline rather than the entire folder. I see that this option is available only at a folder lever and not at a file level. So this feature is needed too.

We urgently need the ability to drag/drop from box.com directly to other web apps.
We handle a large qty of jpg imagery. We need the ability to drag/drop directly from box to our web app (which has drag/drop capability). At the moment we have to download to desktop then upload to our web app. Massive bandwidth waste.

Box Drive path for InDesign linked files
Background:
We’ve moved the location of Box Drive to be outside the username location for our users. This allows for multiple users to work with InDesign , collaborate, and reference the correct asset links without issue. Reference – community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box..Issue:
However, if a user hasn’t previously viewed the file in BOX Drive (e.g. ‘downloaded it to force a local sync’) then the linking of the file still breaks. This causes the following issues : when the user opens an InDesign file, they still need to navigate to anywhere from 5 – 50 different file locations in BOX Drive to ‘open/sync/download’…13 votes -
Go directly to the folder in Explorer/Finder
A one-click solution that takes me from a specific Box location in the web browser to the same location in Windows Explorer on my computer.
Essentially, the opposite of "View on Box.com" Windows Explorer feature.48 votes -
Change Pop up Window for external users downloading files from public share
There is currently an animated pop up window that appears for external users that are downloading files from a share, The pop up never goes away and states the download is "IN PROGRESS" there is never any indication the download is complete as this pop up forever stays on the screen.
this pop up only seems to appear when the user is either using a browser for the first time or does not have a Box account. While it is meant to snag additional users to sign up to Box, it is confusing to many users waiting for the download…

File Picker utilizing mobile deep link for Box iOS/Android App
Dropbox has a library called Chooser, which makes it easy to select files in Dropbox from custom Mobile apps. ( https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser#ios )
Dropbox Chooser uses mobile deep link bidirectionally to move between a custom app and the Dropbox app. As for Box app, mobile deep link is one-way; the Box app can be opened but it is not possible to select files and go back to the custom app.
The major advantages of using Dropbox Chooser for service providers are as follows.
- No need to make additional UI for the file chooser
- No need to authenticate or handle…1 vote -
Public Shared links - admin console ability to add password protection
I think along with the capability of adding an overall expiration date to Public shared links within the admin console, the ability to enforce password protection or even a verification code would also help a lot in locking down the possibility of information getting into the wrong hands.
So if i received the public link before opening it I somehow either have been provided a password or another idea you make the requester enter a mobile/email to send a once off pin code to allow them to access it.

Right now, Box's search engine is kinda useless
So, i contacted Box through chat to ask why the search engine wasn't looking for the specific input i searched for, and among other things i was told that the engine will look for files/folders which match ANY of the words in your input and has no capability of looking for files containing ALL of the words searched for which most search engine have, be it web search or OS search.
So, here's the problem, we have around 10.000 files uploaded to box, and lots of them share several words which indicate the client's name or what the file contains.…
