Add avility to highlight differences between any 2 versions of BoxNotes.
At this time, highlight is available but it is just once and never appear again.
This idea makes it possible to view differences between the current version and the version one generation ago by showing hilights permanentily . Sure, any 2 versions of BoxNotes are better.

Ability to set default permission on folder level
The customer would like to implement the feature “Default Collaborator Permissions” per folder.
We’re providing it only per tenant at the moment, so it affects to all folders/files in tenant if changed.
As a result, it probably not convenient such as the user changes collaborator permission from Viewer to Editor every time.
So, the customer wants an ability to set default permission per folder.9 votes -

Google
Integrate Box as an additional "drive" in Google Drive. This would allow people to easily share documents from within Google Drive using Box. All of my templates are in Drive, I do real-time collaboration in Google Drive, none of which is currently doable in Box.

preview print
Allow the permission to just "view" & "print" files.
(However, you manage to do this)...Maybe it's as simple as having a tick button for a Previewer to also allow printing
...Currently, a Previewer can view and not print,
...a Previewer/Uploader can currently Preview and Upload (Print is meant to work here but is currently not an option despite permission tables saying it should)
...a Viewer can currently Preview, Print and Download.

Improvements to Collaborations Report
The current report misses of two vital items of data when managing External Collaborators. Namely the data last logged in and the date the account expires.
This extra data would allow administrators to see who is using their Box account and who is due to expire in the forthcoming period.
Please vote for my idea.

Ability to block users from downloading files on computer so as to protect proprietary information.
We want users to be able to ONLY download files on box app on ipad (which has ability to not share). but doing so- currently it provides a download option on box.com also which a user can go to any external computer and log in and download files which is a violation for using proprietary files. So Admin an option to restrict user access to download files only on box app.

Visible folder tree (selected folders) and Request access to folders
We face challenges with permission management and ensuring relevant access to folders for staff outside of their Division/Department/Countries. One great solution would be to have the possibility to display part of a folder tree, and to be able to request access to some folders within that folder tree. In this way, a funding person from an affiliate HQ could request access to the EA or PA country’s funding folder to the country funding focal point. This could technically be managed with a very complex use of Box Groups, but it would be an extremely useful alternative solution.

High quality watermarked PDF downloads.
I'm not sure where this should go, but the current feature that allows downloads to be watermarked is great, except the quality of the downloaded document is not great. It is very difficult to read because the resolution changes when the watermark is applied. In fact, it's so bad in our case that the service is not usable and we have to find a different service to watermark PDFs for our downloaders. It would be great if you could find a way to improve the quality of the PDF when a watermark is applied. Thank you.

Box Drive performance
Drive is unstable and crashes quite easily when many items are copied. We hope Drive be robust and stable enough for batch/powershell scripted copy/move/etc.

Add options to control cache size on Box Drive for mac/windows
In particular, there should be a setting to specify the maximum cache size, or an option to have it be up to a certain percentage of free disk space (eg 30% by default, similar to the iPhone app). There should also be a screen that shows how much disk space the cache is currently using and a button to clear the cache with one click.

Ability to sync individual files,
The ability to sync an individual file would be very useful. I often just need a few files if i'm on a flight for example and don't need the whole folder. Copying into a new folder just to sync an individual file is not a great solution.

Can you modify the text in the prompt whenever sharing/collaborating with external users?
On the prompt page just below the continue button, can you change this "Not a part of Universal Service Administrative Company?" to “No, I am not part of Universal Services Administrative Company". Can you make it a hyperlink to enable external users to see and click on it ? The status quo now is creating a lot of confusion when collaborating with external users.

Automate email address for box folders
Our system automatically creates a box folders for each opportunity. In order to create an email for the folder we have to manually go into setting and create the email.
Can we have an option in the admin console to automate this?

Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention
For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:
1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane.…
