Add a BOX datastore to allow native search on Windows
Box can only be searched with the box search window, ctrl+shift+alt+b which is a workflow downgrade because it is not possible to search in a file browser and also it is much slower.
The solution is to provide Windows with a BOX data store and send notification to the indexer when files are synced or changed, then search service will take care of everything for you and we win!
The benefit of this method is that you have full control over what you feed the indexer so there is no security risk. For example you can let only filenames for viewer permissions, filename + content for edit permissions.
reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/search/-search-indexing-process-overviewThe extra benefit of such solution is that you can deprecate the search code, less code to maintain = happier coder = more time for things that make the customer happy.

Unable to administer Macro Enabled Office Documents in Box
At present we have a Group Policy that prevents Macro Enabled Office documents from being opened in our environment. When a macro enabled document is uploaded into box, it circumvents the group policy and is able to be opened on our network. We'd love the ability to manage the types of documents able to be downloaded/opened on our network based on their file extension or type of document.

Allow selecting multiple folders in Folders & Files Report, instead of one folder
When reports are required for tens or hundreds of separate folders, it'd be unrealistic to run reports one by one separately.

Sort Drive Search results by metadata
Currently you are unable to sort results in Drive Search, and you need to rely on searching based on keywords and sorting through the limited results. It would be helpful to sort on available metadata, similar to a traditional File Explorer, like name and last modified in order to better find that content we are looking for.

Support for some special letters from other languages
I think it's kind of a bug or i don't know: when the file i try to upload have in it's name "not so ordinary" characters i will get an error. Letters like these ones, with symbols: ä, á, ç, é, ñ, etc, there are others, you get the point. Just sayin`...

Ability to customize search option on Content Picker of UI elements.
Currently, search cannot be customized, and full-text search is always used. We want the ability to customize the search on Content Picker so that the search can, for instance, be narrowed down to file names (not file contents), based on “content-type” parameter.

Add a threaded ‘Reply’ button to comments and @mentions
When you are @mentioned, replying to the sender with @mention requires many clicks. It would be simpler to be able to reply to the sender in one click (i.e. add a comment with sender already @mentioned)

I like automation; I would like to be able to pull data from different Google Sheets that are all located in my Box.
In Google Drive, all the documents can be referenced to each other. For instance, I can pull data from one Google Sheet to another separate Google Sheet (using the IMPORTRANGE function). This function no longer works as it now says "spreadsheet cannot be found."

Add the automatic deletion function of external collaborators account
Request: Add the automatic deletion function of external collaborators account
Please add automatically delete function linked to the deletion of his company's Box account.
Reason: Even if he changes jobs, he can still log-in to Box using his old e-mail accounts.
We cannot control the collaborators' job change, and we cannot grasp it in a timely catch-up of his situation.
If he changes jobs to our competitor, the risk of data breaches increases.4 votes -
Request Compliance Reports from Admin Console
It would be great if customers could request SOC reports (and possibly other Compliance reports) directly from the Admin Console. This way requests go to the right people right away, expediting the report return rate!

Add action option for Content Security policy
add another action option to the 'Then take the action(s)' section under Content Security Policies. It would be useful if one of the available actions was to disable the users account/set it to inactive automatically if the account were to violate the content security policy.

Metadata search activity report and tagging notifications
Is there a way to report out on metadata search activities? We'd like to get analytics on our team activities with metadata searches and the frequencies. We'd also like to set-up email notifications notifying admin users when a file has been tagged.
