Add comments to different versions of files
Box has version control (it essentially stores every update of a file, i.e. saving the file), however without adding comments it still hard to use it as an actual version control system. Is there a possibility to add comments to file version?

Add 'x' or cancel/clear button to clear out old search terms in Box Drive
Box Drive keeps the previous search terms in the search bar. If the user wants to do a new search, they need to manually clear out the old text.
Our user would like to have an "x" button at the end of the search bar they could click to clear the field, versus selecting the text to delete it manually

See a file's full folder path when it appears in the search results
Currently if you search for a folder in the app, it only shows its immediate parent folder in the results. It should show the full file path.
4 votesOn mobile, the real estate is much smaller than web. Our goal is simplicity, and this doesn’t align with that. Most of our cases are trying to find the most important tasks/updates or recent files

Allow Excel to open report (csv) without worrying about encoding
The encoding for such csv file is in UTF-8 (no Byte Order Mark) and Excel failed to interpret such file, resulting in non-Unicode character turning garble.
Since we open this report in a Spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, it would be beneficial to have Byte Order Mark added to the csv report in the first place.
The workaround now is either
1) Open the csv file in a modern text editor and re-save it using UTF-8 (with Byte Order Mark)2) Open a blank spreadsheet on Excel. From "Data" tab click on import from text data source. The manually imported…

Allow XML on mobile to open in the Settings app
When a .mobileconfig file is opened from a shared link on mobile and the Box app is NOT installed, the file opens on m.box.com and can be downloaded from Safari. When the app is installed, the file's raw text is displayed. There's no way to download the profile when sent as a shared link, and the app is installed

Request Content Box Task Type
Upload Content action needs to be optional, not required.My pretty hacky workaround now is for them to create a BoxNote or word doc that says "no content required" and link to that as the upload content step for now.

We have recently updated the login page which includes “Part of Company”. This experience is critical for Box to authenticate internal and external users. Therefore, we will do not plan to remove this page or language from this experience.

Add email information to COLLABORATION_INVITE event
"COLLABORATIONINVITE" event should include "user email" information.
We understand "userid" is unique attribute within Box to specify the user and user.id
is included with "COLLABORATION_INVITE" attribute.
It would be better if this also captured user email information.1 vote -

Ability to save file without putting filename extension in the filename field
In the save-as window, there is "Save as type" pull-down menu on "Save to Box" window, where you can select xlsx, csv, etc (for excel). However, Box for Office sometimes returns error if you don't input extension on the filename field. Shouldn't Box for Office be able to determine file format from the pull down menu?

Group permission discrepancies between the API and the groups UI
Currently, the Groups API endpoint allows for more granular permissions for collaborating and viewing content ("invitabilitylevel" is used to determine who can invite the group to collaborate on folders; "memberviewability_level" is used to determine who can view group members). It's possible for the values for each of these to be configured independently.
The new Groups UI conflates these two parameters into one setting: "Permission Setting".
