  1. Ability for users to track activity

    In the Closed configuration ,Only admins and co-admins can track activity on the files listed at the URLs below.
    Users cannot be tracked.
    If users can export reports, they can perform on themselves statistical analysis.
    As a result, it becomes possible to actively use Box.
    So I want users to be included in the targets that can be exported.

  2. Show icon in Drive for parent folders when sub-folders are marked for offline

    Currently, users are easily able to manage the hard drive space being used by BOX by simply checking into their sync folder and deciding then what they may prioritize as necessary to sync or un-sync at a quick glance. Even in the instances where there are multiple folders and sub-folders included, it’s a clear representation of what’s being synced at the time.

    These same users currently sync A LOT of files within a fairly deep folder structure, so not having an insight into which folders are taking up space only leaves a user to chicken peck around in the hopes…

    The ‘Add Tags’ button has now been re-added to the Action Bar when >=1 items are selected in the webapp.

  4. Ability to create Box reports by API

    To import snapshot data (folders and files, collaborations etc.) to SIEM like Splunk, it's convenient that Box reports data can be created by API.

    Customers can utilize the existing events infrastructure to gather this data, so we do not have any plans to provide snapshots in fewer API calls in the short term.

  5. Sort underscores consistently

    We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

  7. Bring back pagination

    Please bring back pagination! I work with thousands of files and continuous scrolling makes it much harder to search for the last file I was working on. Pagination allows me to view a certain number of files on a page which helps so much when working with thousands of files of data.

  10. Modify Select All Feature

    When selecting all from within a folder, only the first page of files is selected. If there are multiple pages of files within a folder, it does not grab everything that's in there.

  11. Invite users to file request

    We would like to inform our users that we have created a file request area for them. As soon as we create a file request we would like to be able to send a number of users a notification that they should upload their files there.

    Currently we have to manually copy the URL into an email to inform people, which breaks the flow. We would like the same functionality we see when creating shared links.

  12. "Save files to device" settings to separate for Box Capture

    Currently, "Save files to device" settings on Enterprise settings affect both Box Mobile App and Box Capture. However, we want to do the settings separately.

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  13. Display full file name on mouseover

    We have very long file names where file prefix can be 40 characters the same. In Box Web GRID view it's impossible to differentiate between the files without opening them. In list list view it's almost as bad. The file naming is set by customer policy and we cannot affect that.

    Add a mouse over popup for files to show the whole file name for Box Web.

  14. Locking Folder Names

    We have systems integrating with folders on Box.com. These functions either provide workflow timestamps, or move files from folder to folder. In order for these integrations to work seamlessly, folders cannot be accidentally or purposely renamed.

  15. While in Outlook, the ability to drag & drop files directly into Box folders - not via the Box Web App, directly from Outlook

    Insurance companies still heavily rely on working with emails. The current Box for Outlook integration is one way, ie. you can share documents out from Outlook.
    Insurance companies require the ability to drag and drop files directly from Outlook into Box files without leveraging the Box Web App.

  17. Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool

    Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool

    In Box Drive v2.21, it is possible to enable the ability to automatically lock/unlock files when they are opened in Box Drive by modifying the registry.
    However, it is difficult for end users to modify the registry, so we would like to see Box Drive include the feature to automatically lock/unlock files, or provide a configuration tool (such as a batch file for registry modification) to modify the registry.

  18. Cannot use Microsoft explorer search function for Box Drive

    I cannot use the Microsoft explorer search function to select all the pictures stored offline in my box Drive directory under several sub directories using *.jpg function. I use Box to save a back up of my picture files. The only solution was to duplicate a separate directory with the sub directories of all the picture files in my hard drive and use *.jpg to select the pictures to play in the slide slow. This problem is NOT there for Drop Box or Mega directories where Microsoft explorer search function works fine. The native Box search function cannot be…

  19. Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files

    Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

  20. Display the "Notes" section of MS PowerPoint files

    When I open a PPT file in a browser (say Firefox), it would be nice if the box preview could also display the "Notes" section associated with the PPT file under each slide, in the default view. Right now, my workaround is opening the file with MS PPT Online, and clicking on the "Notes" section at the bottom to expand and display any notes associated with individual slides.
