Show from when the lock has been applied.
Users want to know from when a lock has been applied to a file in order to determine if it is okay to force unlock a file, some users may set a lock for a long time and forget to unlock. The current UI only shows until when the Lock will be applied.
9 votesThanks for the suggestion. Please continue to post use cases and feedback, to help us prioritize for a future release.

Automatically Lock & Unlock when editing from Web App using Box Edit
CURRENT UX: User must remember to manually lock and unlock each file once done editing, which is a subpar experience for the user.
DESIRED UX: When using 'open with' via the webapp (Box Edit), the file is auto-locked (via a prompt), and when the user closes out of the file, it is automatically unlocked.
201 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap. We are currently prioritizing automatically locking/unlocking files on Box Drive for Office files on Windows. We will revisit this feature in the future.

This is a great idea! Unfortunately we aren’t able to prioritize this ask at this time due to other competing priorities.

Ability to retroactively change expiration date on externally collab'd shared links and collaborators
In summary, the limitation appears with both External Shared Links and External Collaboration outside the organization.
Setting an expiration is helpful going forward, but still leaves us in a difficult situation on how to handle folders using this functionalities currently.

Templates - Restrict Templates to Specific Users/Groups and/or Folder Structures
Metadata templates are currently global across an entire EID. This does not scale well for large organizations with 50,000, 100,000 or more than 200,000 users.
This request is to add 'scope' parameters to Metadata Templates such that a specific template can be restricted to...
1. A specific set of users
2. A specific set of Groups
3. A specific Folder structure111 votesThis is still on our roadmap and is under development.

Embed - Add Ability to Remove Header from Embed Widget
In the legacy UI embed widget, there was a parameter in the code to not show the header, which was a great option as we want a streamlined embed widget.
In the new UI embed widget, this option has been removed, meaning the header is ALWAYS shown, which can be a major UI distraction for various embed use cases.
REQUEST: Re-add the ability to remove/hide the header within the embed parameters.
22 votesThanks for the suggestion! This is an awesome idea, but due to competing priorities, this is feature request not currently on our immediate roadmap.

Route files to a specific user via the embed widget
We would like to be able to pick what user content goes to with one widget.
2 votesI think this would be better addressed with platform elements. This way, you can build out the exact functionality you seek.

Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)
When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"
REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.
Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.
69 votesThis is not planned in the near future due to other higher priority initiatives.
