File Request Link versioning
The new File Request feature is pretty awesome. Only thing is, when you upload a file with the same name, instead of creating it as a version in that folder, it uploads a new copy of that document with a long string of numbers at the end of it. Any word on if this will change in the future to support versioning?
7 votesThis is not planned as there are use cases where two different files with the same name being submitted.

Show list of co-admins
In the admin console > users & groups, it would be helpful if more than three co-admins were listed in the panel on the right side. Currently, even though I have more than 3 co-admins for my Box instance, only three of them show up in the list of Co-admins on the right side.

Limit the number of Box files/folders that can be Marked for Offline use
We would like to limit the Box files/folders that we can Mark for Offline use, like what we currently have when modifying Box drive’s cache limit.

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

scan .bak files
For heaven's sake allow box to scan .bak files - it's practically the only reason I'm using box! What's the point of a cloud back up system that won't back up backup files!!

Group creation next or finished button
When creating groups, I need to click back on groups to create a new group. When just starting with Box I had to create over 50 new groups and it would have made the job easier having a pop-up or a button asking if I want to create an additional group, or am I finished.

Provide a way to remove duplicate files throughout a folder and all sub folders
I have a user who copied all the content in multiple folders some how and created duplicate files everywhere in the folder structure. All the duplicate files had a (1) at the end but also had a few files with (email address) at the end as well. Not sure why the (email address) showed up at the end, over the (1).
Never the less, I need a way as an admin or even a user to search for all duplicate files, within a folder/sub folders, and allow me to find all files with *(1) and provide me the list of…

Contents Security should report the cause of policy violation
When [Contents Security] catches a policy violation, Box tells the name of policy only. So Box users need to find the violation data though the file. If Box can explain a detail point of violation, it will help users to understand and find the cause of violation quickly and easily.
4 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Automate quarantining of infected files
While speaking with Box Premiere Support Team, it was stated that there is no current option/means to automatically place an infected file into quarantine. The file stays available and is up to the Content Owner/Site Admin to manually address the issue.
It would be nice to have a feature that automatically placed suspicious/infected files in a designated quarantine folder while it is being reviewed. This will eliminate the potential for someone to accidentally download the file and cause potential harm.

Report on who has Relay enabled
Ability to report on who has Relay enabled in an enterprise account. Via "Export users" would be nice, but not even Box's own reporting team can produce this data right now which is unfathomable.

Requesting the ability to upload a file for sharing but set a date/time for when the sharing will start.
In the entertainment business films and music can't be released until a specific date and time. The assets are ready in advance. I would like to create a folder for sharing with a start date and time for the sharing. This way I can invite people to a folder i want to share, but they can't access the content until the approved date and time. A time counter would be great so the person i am sharing with will know when the files will be released.

Visual rep of all folder paths
Reports: Provide a visual map of entire enterprise folder trees. An "org chart" of folders.
When I run a report to provide managers of their data and where it's stored, it's a 10000+ line Excel file that share a path for lines and lines. Can this data be translated into a visual chart? Would be much cleaner. Thanks.

Box Drive Should Show Files With Illegal Filenames or Characters
We need Box Drive to be able to point to the offending error in Windows Explorer or Finder. Click on the offending file, folder is opened and file is selected in Windows Explorer or Finder in order to fix.
33 votesThis is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

Improve annotations for Box Previewer UI element
One of the main feature of our proof-of-concept utilizes Box’s concept of collaborations. We want to demonstrate beyond the capability of the basic file/folder sharing by utilizing the Box Previewer UI element and enabling the annotation feature. The annotation is such a great feature to enhance business and client relationship in the digital space. We implemented this feature however we found there are some challenges and we are hoping Box can help us find a solution to create a better experience.
We were able to activate the annotation but only within app users. Both our employee entities and customer entities…

Including the original path to a file that was deleted.
It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

Make Shared Folder Sorting Consistent Across Devices
Viewing a shared link on a mobile device ignores the sort preference that is established internally and only shows folders/files alphabetically.
I cannot think of a single example of how it would be beneficial to specifically alter the established folder/file sorting method to default to "Alphabetical" merely because the folder is being viewed on mobile.
Sort method should not be "device" dependent. Instead, it should be consistent across all platforms—especially given the fact that the shared-link folder/file list sort method cannot be chosen at the shared-user end.

Prioritize specific files for upload
Hi, as someone who has to uploads and shares a lot of large image files through box, each over 1gb, it would be nice to have a way to prioritize which files get uploaded first.

Requesting functionality to recognize an existing file name (upon upload of a new file) and option to override or save with a new name.
Issue: End users may have documents coming in via email / etc. about a deal or a client that have the same name. When saving to Box from email, if the file has the same name as an existing file it is currently saved as a new version of that file. In reality, the document may be completely different. On Windows file server, they are used to having a prompt warning them that a file already exists with that name, with an option to either save & override the file or change the file name. They'd like to have an…
