Would really benefit from being able to upload Excel files on iPad to Box for when doing remote work.

Extend box' capabilities with client protocols.
In banking a lot of external content is accessed: reports from Bloomberg, other financial information, etc. Most of these pieces of information reside on FTP / SFTP / FTPS / Webdav systems.
It would be nice if box could be extended in such a way that users have the possibility to access this content from within box. The idea is to have a new folder type (external content), which can then be configured with a connection string, user name and password. Users could then just browse those external sources from within box.
Ideally a copy and paste should also be possible (back and forward).
This feature would allow box to become the central place for all information workers that need to access external content as well, thus really growing the usability of the product.

Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive
Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive
The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.
REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.
16 votesThis is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

1 voteThank you for this suggestion. The benefit of this feature is outweighed by the cost to other users. We’re happy to review additional use case data.

Expose timestamp in the Web UI on date fields for Custom Metadata
This has to do with how metadata is presented in the Box UI - it should show both date and time values.

Image Shared Link Permissions should Match the Box Note's Shared Link Permission
For example, when a Box Note's shared link is set to 'people with the link', all images in the Box Note should also automatically be updated to be 'people with the link' links.
The current issue is that when I set a Box Note's link to 'people with the link' but my company's shared link default is 'people in your company', all the embedded images in the Box Note are still set to 'people in your company', meaning if a non-authenticated user accesses the 'people with the link' Box Note link, they'll see 'insufficient privileges' for all the images in the Note.

49 votesThank you for the feedback. We understand that the current permissions behavior for Box Notes images is not necessarily intuitive, and are actively looking into ways to improve that user experience. We don’t yet have a timeline for delivery, but will update here when its available.

Generate Report directly from the "View Report" link in "unusual activity" notification email to admin
Please explore changing the Unusual User Activity notification emails to admins to actually spin out the report for a user when the "View Report" link is clicked, instead of prompting admins to run the report manually after clicking "View Report."

Add support for Canon, Nikon, Sony images
Supported by Google Drive.
Canon = .cr2
Nikon = .nef
Sony = .arw6 votesThank you for the submission! This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.
We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

Support for setting the save location to hard drive directory such as "My Documents" instead of "My Documents/Box Sync"
This would help save the trouble of having to re-map all of their computer programs save locations to a new Box Sync folder.

Legal Holds based on Metadata
Allow the ability to put content on Legal Holds based on metadata attached to the document. Customers may utilize metadata moreso than custodian or date to identify content to be placed on Legal Hold
7 votesAs metadata usage is currently quite low, and because this is possible via the API, this is not currently planned for support within the Governance UI. We may reconsider with more customer feedback or higher usage of metadata.
