Add the ability for previewer/uploader, viewer, and previewer to preview video files that contain watermarks.
Currently, due to the specifications in the following article, previewer/uploader, viewer, and previewer cannot preview watermark enabled video files from Box.
Box Notes, video, audio, flash, .msi, .exe, .zip, and 3D files do not support watermarking. Enabling this feature prevents previewer uploaders, viewers and previewers from viewing these file types.
Watermarking Files：

For company operations, when sharing video files with users outside the company, it is a rule to collaborate and share with users outside the company with previewer.
Since there are many situations where we want to prohibit downloading and screenshotting, we don't want to be unable…3 votes -
Need APIs for auto deletion of files and folders.
Need APIs for marking files and folders for auto deletion in future date. This feature is on the portal, but provided as an API.
Box can add this as an attribute to the file upload or folder creation API. Or a separate folder/file attribute API, so the date can be changed, if required later after its creation.
We are automating activities on Box.com using RPA, the APIs are faster and reusable compared to the UI automation.
Box should introduce APIs for basic features such as this one, so these can be done at the backend and it is more optimized…

Creating multiple triggers in Relay
We created a workflow to create subfolders automatically. The ability to create subsequent triggers in those subfolders would be helpful. (i.e. folder A is manually created, folder a1, a2, a3, are automatically created. When a file is uploaded in folder a2, do outcomes 1-3)

Add file count to Folder Properties
Folder properties on browser based app should display the number of files in the folder. We use Box for photoshoot asset sharing while still in production (before moving to our DAM) and it's really a pain to verify file count.

Make the problem files screen more usable
Make problem files hyperlinked back to the Web App so users can easy click to take a look at the document on box.com.
It's not always clear whether a problematic file exists only on my desktop, only on Box, or both. Clearer signals about that would be appreciated too.

New Files take 10 minutes to appear in the search (Content Explorer)
It takes ~10 minutes for a newly added file to appear in the search of the Content Explorer UI Element. In the meantime, if you attempt to search for that file based on the name, it displays no results, making it look like a bug. It can take even longer if the servers are busy (it took ~20 minutes for a file I uploaded to appear in a search one time)
Please look for ways to reduce the turnaround on this. A suggestion: the file should be available to search by name right away, if it takes ~10 minutes to…

Folders and Files Classification in Content Manager Console
Folder and File Classification should be shown in the content manager console so the admins would be able to know the kind of content they are dealing with.

Search file contents for non-standard file types (e.g. py, R)
It would be a wonderful if Box could be adjusted to index and search the file contents for files beyond Microsoft Office and text files. For example, much of what I would like to search is in python or R scripts, so being able to index and search those files as well would be very helpful.
(it would also be very useful to search specific metadata field such as "name" or "type", like windows explorer enables)

Need multiple options for 2-factor authentication
Please allow multiple options to receive a 2-factor authentication code. If I were to lose access to my cell phone or change the phone #, then I would be unable to receive a code via SMS and be locked out of Box.
In addition, please ensure the options other than 2FA code via SMS actually are viable options. Right now, the authenticator option doesn't work - no QR code is generated by Box for me to scan with my phone. The e-mail option also doesn't work - I keep getting an error message that the default e-mail is invalid ...…

Consistent data size output from folder and file report
Don't shorten, or allow us to choose if we want the file sizes shortened (KB, MB, GB) when calling the Files & Folders report. Full data sizes would allow for much more consistent and streamlined ingestion into data analytics tools like PowerBi.

Whitelisting file types in Malicious Content scanning in Box Shield
We are currently seeing a large number of non-malicious files being marked by Deep Scan as malicious, resulting in a lot of false positives. These are files such as .gif or .doc. The primary way to reduce the false positive rate would be to improve Deep Scan's scanning capability. However, I think it would also be beneficial to be able to exclude certain file types that are unlikely to include malware (e.g. .gif) from being scanned.

Improve Move operation to offer choices when destination folder already has file of same name
Currently, if a number of files are selected to move to another location, if the destination location already has filename(s), Box simply advises that the moves for those files has 'Failed', and lists then 'already exists in the folder '....'
Box should instead, like other products, offer a pop-up window, indicating the filenames, locations, dates last modified, (and additionally, if any files are signed), with the option for user to select/unselect file(s) to overwrite or ignore. Filenames selected/ticked would then be moved, together with other files where no match was found.
To simply offer no choice, leaves the user knowing…

Support for Pasting Multiple Email Addresses in Box Hubs and Box AI Features
When selecting “Enable for selected users and groups,” I noticed that the text area for entering email addresses does not support pasting multiple email addresses at once. Currently, it requires entering each address individually, either by typing or pasting one by one, which is time-consuming when enabling the feature for multiple users.
Would it be possible to enhance this functionality to allow pasting multiple email addresses at once, similar to how collaborators can be invited to folders?

Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy
With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.
Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

Export input metadata from file upload forms
It would be nice to be able to export a CSV of input metadata during a file upload request.
For example, if I create a metadata template and add those attributes as fields to my file upload form and the uploader inputs their name, email, and other requested details into those fields, I'd like to be able to export the data to a CSV for the folder they uploaded their files to and see columns for each field on the form (including attributes from the metadata template). It would be nice if the export could contain fields on the form…

Increase size of left-side menu on Home screen
The left-side menu on the Home screen is too narrow and cuts off the names of folders/files saved under My Collections/Favorites.
Users should be able to set whatever width is needed for the menu.

Improve the Level of Fidelity of Text Files Preview in Box's Web App
Can Box please improve the level of fidelity of text files preview in Box's Web App? We have reports that are generated as text files, and these reports are formatted (with spaces) so the information is readable and consistent. Currently, our users have kept providing us with feed back that they are having a hard time using Box's file preview when looking at these reports because Box file preview does not keep the format they have, and as result these reports look messy and sometimes borderline unreadable. Most of our users just have opted to download these reports to…
