Publish a changelog of Box Drive updates
The blog is nothing close to release notes and version history. I’m looking for something more industry standard. Please put that in as a feature request. Knowing, for example when 2.0.70 and 2.1.105 were officially released (date) and the changelog (massaged for general consumption, if not raw) si what these are for and these press releases on the blog are not a replacement for technical info.

Include activities & comments in the search index
Activities and comments on the files are something very useful to collaborate on documents. It would be great if there was a way to include the content of the activities & comments in the search index.

The ability to check the characters when setting/typing the password for shared link and account
When we're entering passwords of shared links and accounts, we want to check it by seeing the actual characters.
For example, this request has been achieved on the following page:
https://account.box.com/signup/n/personal
Is it possible for you to implement the same button in the account ligin page and the shared link setting window?

NetSuite integrations security enhancement.
Allow the creation of a folder in Box that is secured by box, but the record is attached to the transaction. For example, under bill payments adding a box folder that can hold the contract for that specific payment. Contracts have more confidential information that needs to be secured. Since security in NetSuite is best used as a group, not all who can see if a payment was made, should see the details of the contract. Therefore the select folder should allow more restrictive security, managed by box.

ELIMINATE the display message " We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported" " as it terrifies our customers
Display message "We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported" scares our customers on the download shared link page. They think it is an ERROR and will not download the .ISO or other file that cannot be PREVIEWED. Make the message SPECIFIC to PREVIEW:
"Preview not available for this file type, click Download to continue"
or just
"Preview not available for this file type"Saying it is UNSUPPORTED means too many bad things. If this is not fixed, we will leave BOX. Seriously.

Allow users to limit simultaneous uploads
We would like to control the number of uploads that upload simultaneously (ie ability to limit to 1). The belief is that, if files are uploading 5 at a time, and they fail 80% of the way through upload, you have to start again, whereas if it was uploading 1 at a time, and worked its way through 80 percent of the queue, less files would need to be retried

Combine Feed with Notifications and Recents to make one seamless experience
If you could combine feed with notifications + recents into one screen. Our users find that they’re often switching back in forth between the screens; if you could have a screen with three columns including all of these items and have a way to sort them, scroll them – that would be one experience and save time flipping between pages.

Update "Box login from..." email notification
When I access Box from a new browser or device, I get "Box Login from...." email notification from Box.
Within the email body, it said "You can manage your login activity list from the Security tab and your notifications from the Notifications tab of your Account Settings." but there is no "Notifications" tab under user Account settings.
Instead there is a "Sharing" tab under which there is a section for "General Emails and Notifications". Could you please fix the wording with in the email notification body to reflect the correct tab and section. It helps the end users to get to the right section to manage their email notifications.

Password reset process is cumbersome
Even with the understanding that my specific situation might add a few steps, it is significantly longer and more involved than the analogous process for any other product, tool, or service that I use. I have described the steps that I have to go through and would encourage the Box Developers and UX Teams to consider a more seamless way to do this in some future release.
Reset Password – Box Drive
Key:
- = optional step, performed for positive validation that the new password was accepted
+ = step that is specific to my setup- At Windows/Domain login, notification appears stating that I am “no longer connected” to Box and should log in again. Note that no indication is given as to why this is, but in practice, I have learned that this means that the password has expired.
- 2. I generally log in anyway to confirm this. Logging in generates a prompt for the MFA code, which I obtain and enter. At that point, I am told that my password has expired and I am directed to log in to the web site to reset it.
- I log in to the web site. I am again prompted for my MFA code, which I retrieve and enter. I am then notified that my password has expired, and I am asked to enter my email address – the same address that I just used to log in – in order to receive a reset prompt. I do so.
- I check my email program for the message and click on the link provided; I am returned to my browser at the Password Reset form/page
- At the web site, I enter my new password
- 6. I log in to the web site, using my new password, to confirm that it has been accepted and that LastPass has correctly saved the new value. I am again prompted for my MFA code
- I log in to the app using my new password and another MFA code
- 8. In my specific setup, I then launch my virtual desktop (AWS WorkSpace), which also has Box installed. I see the same “You are not connected to Box” message, but this time I am able to simply log in to the app with my new password. Once more – fifth time – I am prompted for an MFA code
The entire process takes several minutes, and can take up to ten, depending on optional steps, latency in receiving the email or MFA codes, etc. It requires that I log in to either the app or the web site a minimum of three times, and as many as five in my particular scenario. Honestly, I have an easier time resetting my bank’s online credentials, or reporting that my credit card was lost and getting a new one. As an IT professional myself, I completely understand the need for security, and I appreciate the availability of options in the process, but I am sure that this can be made at least a little less cumbersome. Would you at least take a look at it? Thanks!

Add configurable governance alerting
Add configurable alerting in an effort to preventing directory and permission sprawl or detecting anomalous access
At this point we may require additional products or custom development to address this problem.
An example of a real world problem is if Jane has two box accounts one managed by the firm and the second a personal account, there is nothing to prevent or alert us if Jane copies enmasse company property
