Provide link to Box root or parent folder from within Notes view
While one can navigate to the parent folder when in preview/edit mode on a Box Note by clicking the ellipsis, it's not obvious to those that don’t know about it and can’t find it.
This lack of navigation is likely because of the reliance on using tabs to differentiate notes from the rest of Box. However, this has its shortcomings, as it relies on opening up notes from within Box. I have some bookmarks that go directly to a Box note, so I could never before find a way to get out of the notes view when opening notes this…

Send a "here's how your items are shared" report to each user periodically
One of the most common sources of security breaches is due to a user inadvertently sharing an item more broadly or for longer than they intended.
A simple way to help limit those sorts of security breaches would be for Box to email every user a report periodically (configurable by the admin, but roughly monthly) that said "Here's how everything you own is shared with other people, and here's a link to the KB article that'll tell you how to fix it if it's not what you want", then showed a report of their folders, files, and shared links, with…

Add ability to preview Excel docs on Box.com in portrait or landscape, depending on correct orientation in Page Setup of file.
Currently, you can only preview Excel documents on Box.com in landscape mode which means documents with orientations set to portrait are chopped at the 2/3 mark and appear on two pages. The issue is that it takes up precious viewing space by having the two pages in the page preview panel on the left which would otherwise not be there if you were looking at a 1-page document in portrait mode. Therefore, you have to zoom into a document and then flip to the second page to see the rest of it. Please fix.

The ability to name the title of a collection
I have a number of folders that were invited by external users (grey folders) and those folders are typically named such as "shared folder" and it is often difficult to identify which organization I am invited by. So I would like to organize those folders by naming when collection.
1 voteIf the request is to rename folder names on folders that are owned by an external party, we are currently unable to support this.

Read only access to Admin Console
To allow the worker's council to read the settings the admins make in Box, we need a read-only admin role.
This would allow the worker's council to control what the admin are doing, without giving them the ability to change those settings. We don't want to give non-admins admin privileges.
This helps us being a) compliant with the WC and b) be transparent to our colleagues.

Auto Expiration of Collaborations
For automatic expirations of external collaborators:
Add criteria to automatically remove an external collaborator after they have not accessed content for X amount of time instead of a fixed day amount. This way, after an external collaborator has not previewed a piece of content in X amount of days, they will be removed. Makes it less manual to extend external collaborators if the system is removing them for us because they are not accessing a folder.

Box Drive Conflict Handling: Save Edits to Conflict Copies Instead of Overwriting
Request to change the behavior when conflict happens on Box Drive. Since Box Edit is currently uploading to a conflict copy after conflict occur. This will likely make you a bit confusion.
Current behavior:
- User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
- User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened. Create a conflict copy like file X (email address).
- User A saves file…

Automatically prohibit unsupported characters
Box Drive and unsupported characters:
It’s hard to find each folder or file that contains prohibited characters, so I’d like to have prohibited characters registered online automatically deleted or replaced
so they will appear in Box drive.14 votes -

Alarm with due date in documents.
It would be very nice you can set a revalidation date to some documents that need to be reviewed in selected period. For example , documents that need to be validated each year. It would be nice if we can flag a date in the document , and receive an alert advicing that the document need to be reviewed. This alarm can be used for everything (for example for deletion of document). Thanks!

Level Up the Salesforce Integration & Increase Doc Visibility/Accessibility
Our company uses the Salesforce-Box integration. We are made up of a set of advisor teams who should only be able to see their clients' files. This works in Salesforce, where all client documents are visible. However, our users were used to accessing client files in the "File Explorer" on their desktop (Finder in Mac), under the Salesforce folder in Box on the desktop. Client folders only show up here if the user has clicked through the client's folders/docs in Salesforce. It would be great if our teams could see all their client folders in the File Explorer without having…

Option to hide left sidebar showing pages when viewing documents
Would love the option to hide the left sidebar that shows pages in documents - it's hard to navigate documents when using split screen, and the sidebar showing the pages gets in the way of being able to zoom into document pages efficiently.

Open files from favorites
I'd like to be able to open a file directly from the favorites. That way, I avoid a preview (and its access stats by the way). If the file is not locked then it is opened in my local app. That would be really helpful.

Rethink how customer feedback is handled for support tickets
I open A LOT of support tickets with Box as I'm the primary escalation point for support in my enterprise.
After every Box support ticket is solved and closed by the Box tech, I get an automated "how did we do" survey email.
I get that you guys want customer feedback but forcing it down customers' throats for EVERY ticket that is solved is not the right approach. They just become repetitive and get to the point of being annoying.
I've found a solution to get around this annoyance by creating rules to scan for common subject line text and…

Working with Procurement in Box may get easier!
With the File Request function we are now able to request supplier to upload their proposal directly in Box without having to create accounts. But we need to make things more easier, if I have 50 suppliers, it´s very time consuming to click in each folder, generate the link, change the settings of each link to request at least "email".
So, here is the idea:
1. My account should have a Standard Settings for "File Request" settings that I should be able to choose.
2. When selecting multiple Folders, we should be able to generate multiple links, with each folder…1 vote -
