I'd like to be able to share a link that defaults to open the file in the native app on macOS.
I'm not sure if this is more related to Box Drive or Box Tools, but it seems like it should be possible to open files in their native app rather than in the browser, or even just to open them in the Finder rather than on the web.
Some of the reasons:
1. Lots of people need to know where a file is within the larger heirarchy or get a file path, and it's significantly easier to do that in finder.
2. Lots of people just don't like having to click the extra few times.
3. It's frustrating to be…1 vote -
Add a loading animation when opening non-MFO‘d, non-cached files to show that it’s downloading
This will offer a better user experience than double clicking a file and nothing happening for 30 seconds to a minute before the file opens.

More specific error messages when uploads fail
When manually uploading a new version of a file, I received a "Some Uploads Fail" message. Only later did I see it was because there was another file of the same name in the folder. The error message should be more specific to this problem.

Support articles
Wow, 'Support' is not even an option on the dropdown menu above. Maybe that is the root of the problem.
Here are FIVE Suggestions:
1.
Add 'Support' as an option on the menu above.
2.
Folders that I can see via a web browser were not appearing on my desktop. I tried to find a support article. Found this one:Box Sync Troubleshooting Basics
https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync-Troubleshooting/Box-Sync-Troubleshooting-Basics/ta-p/82
It does not address what I eventually figured out to be the problem: For each folder, I have to manually click the button with three little dots, then select from the menu the three little…

Consolidate User and Event Log Files
I am currently downloading Box event log files for my company and am seeing instances where the User Event log and the Admin Event log have holes in their data.
For instance, User Event Log is giving us fields such as item path (path_collection) and file/folder description, but it is not including field data such as IP address.
Conversely, Admin Event Log is giving us IP address, but not item path or file/folder description.We are trying to prevent duplication of data on our end, so we would like to be able to use one log or the other; however,…

wrap long file names in the main UI. restore old namewrap UI feature.
I've noticed where other folks have suggested similar ideas and been told to use the BOX UI to create their own version. Not sure what the big deal is. we dont have programmers on staff but if you enlarge the font for a disabled person even short file names become too large to fit on the UI. I think even if long filenames is LOW probability, it occurs enuf to consider offering it. Practically every filename we have is too long so it drives us nuts. Video filenames are the worst because of a zillion versions. Can you imagine a…

Integrate Tasks with personnel systems like Active Directory, Workday
We want to be able to create rules so that tasks can be assigned to specific individuals based on their reporting relationship. This would allow for a task to be assigned to the appropriate manager when any employee submits certain kinds of requests, perhaps with a file upload. The best way to do this would be with some kind of integration to the HR system of record.

Subject Access Request reporting
UK users need to be able to provide Subject Access Reporting (by law). Everyone is entitled to a copy of their data held in the system.
Box needs to be able to report on that. Search (content and/or metadata) will provide the results, but we need a list of this content in a report as well as the ability to download all this content in a zip file.
See specific GDPR requirements here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organizations/guide-to-data-protection/principle-6-rights/subject-access-request/

Mask or hide email addresses
There is a need to hide or mask email addresses for instance we have service accounts by business unit that 'own' all of the content and also high-level executives that cannot be spammed by external collaborators.

Pre-populate Box signin userid (email) field
Actually for all Box applications requiring sign-in from a computer.
Allow the sign-in procedure to remember previously supplied email addresses (in a configuration file or in the Windows registry) or allow customization for users to provide a list of addresses. Then provide selection from a drop-down list at sign-in time.
This is typical of browser access to the Box web page. It would greatly ease access to Box for Box Drive users that do not stay connected. Absence of this feature has us looking for alternatives to Box Drive for our desktop file sharing needs.

"Virtual Documents" / Groupings of documents that together form one master document
Box should have the ability to get documents together in a collection. This collection should then be versionable, regardless of the versions of the documents.
Thinks a personal dossier. Some documents might update a couple of time, before I declare the whole dossier as a new version.
Tools like documentum have a concept of virtual documents. My opinion to those implementation is that they are really bad from a user perspective. Therefore we should do it better.

Improve viewer-uploader copy experience
Copy is only possible for viewer-uploader through shortcut. It should be available through button/command too, it would be consistent with other role and it would improve user productivity
