    update Jan 2025, the workaround I described earlier no longer works as it used to.
    Specific URL will work, but external user is unable to access metadata search panel to modify the search

    Same general gist as request: 39483574. But if the external user is given a url that specifies the metadata template, they can search on that metadata template.
    Not sure if this is a loophole or a workaround.

    If the same external user is given a URL that has the metadata template already specified they can then search on that one metadata template. Is this a workaround or a loophole?

  10. Default sort by date to descending (most recent first)

    I could have sworn that previously all of my folders were sorted by date (most recent first) now they seem to be sorted by name. I'm not sure if something changed or I'm misremembering, but it's pretty annoying to sort a folder by update date (recent first) and then need to do it for each of the subfolders that I'm navigating through.

    My use/need is for powershell Box CLI, but we could also benefit from a single endpoint to get all items within a folder recursively. Trying to build the logic and wait for multiple API calls to return makes this very tiresome.
    In our use case we are trying to get count of all files in a directory. At present we have to limit to just the total overall file count. I would envision this API endpoint enabling us to see count of files _by_type_ as well.

  15. Option to have approval process for sharing a folder or file.

    This idea sounds really similar to this one that just got promoted to "researching"

    If possible this could leverage Box Edit's access to the local machine?

    OneDrive is leveraging this "new architecture", please consider investing the time in 'modernizing' the application. Not only could it improve the issue with Overlay limit, I'm guessing it might also address issues where a user pinning a folder/item to their Quick access loses visibility of Box ovelay status.
    Additionally a BIG win of this might be conveying to Box Drive users if a file/folder they are looking at is shared with others.
    Don't know how much the two are related, but OneDrive also allows shorcuts/bookmarks to be visible on the Desktop client. Another win!

    This is "doable" now, but the results are inconsistent. Sometimes a quick access link will take you to a version of the folder where you cannot see the Box Drive overlays (like file upload errors) other times you can. The inconsistency causes confusion
