Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails
We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing
If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.
1 voteThank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Allow admins greater control of Box Edit upgrade process
When Box Edit automatically upgrades upon the release of a new version, there is no way for Admins to stop it and then allow the update at a more optimal time. This can be very troubling for companies with large deployment with the .MSI.
After installation or an upgrade, a user needs to either manually launch Box Edit.exe and Box Local Com Service.exe or log out of their user account and log back in to get the processes running.
At a large scale, this just is not practical and causes a lot of confusion for users and admins alike.

This is a relatively expensive request for a modest payoff. We will be prioritizing other features on our roadmap.

Add ability to dismiss problem items if the user does not want to address the issue
For example, a Box item's name has characters that Windows does not support.
The user wishes to keep the name as is and doesn't need to see the item locally.
With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

Add a flag to enable/disable end-user collaboration emails
Currently, collaboration emails are only sent to the service account. Admins should be able to enable/disable whether their end users also receive collaboration emails when added to a Box for Salesforce integration folder, as workflows may depend on being notified that this folder exists/has been shared with an end user.

Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps: Split this setting and have one titled [Web Browsing]
After testing the Device Trust setting Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps for the purpose of Box Notes and Box for Office, I have noticed that when we enable this, it closes the door on Box web browser usage from any non-company machine (since it doesn't meet the Device Trust setting.) Currently we find it very useful and it is required for us to be able to use Box from non-company machines via web browsers.
It would be excellent if Box Support could separate Device Trust in more depth, specifically this setting Desktop Web App & 3rd Party Apps

Version-Specific Shared Link Option
Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.
3 votesThank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

If a user invites a collaborator, that they receive an error message if that email does not exist.
Right now, if a user invites someone using an email that does not exist, it just remains in pending.
