Thank you for the submission. We are currently collecting use cases and feature requests for the Box Embed widget, and are considering it for update in a future planning cycle. We do not have a timeline for this at present, but ask you to continue to submit feedback here in the meantime.

First - I cannot believe that box.com let any feature of their service go through without mobile support.
Second - we do not wish to require our users to become box.com users just to participate in our data collection experiences.
Here are some details. Our social marketing team uses their PAID box.com account to gather images from "Brand Ambassadors". We post several widgets on a page on our site that only these ambassadors can access. Then the ambassadors are able to upload their images to specific box.com folders for later curation by the social media team. Needless to say a lot of images from these "influencers" are from mobile devices and they are uploading them from such devices. So, having a limitation of the embed widget only consistently working on desktop systems is extremely shortsighted.
Also pointing out that, so far, I have been able to access the embed widget on Android devices but not iOS devices. Is the issue that box.com developers cannot work past some iOS security block?
Regardless, any feature intended for internet use must be accessible on as many platforms as possible. Considering the percentage of mobile users to other platforms, disregarding mobile actually makes the embed widget almost entirely useless.
