Allow Metadata search for files uploaded via Box API
Documents in BOX are not searchable based on Metadata when uploaded using BOX API
Document uploaded into BOX via EPHESOFT using BOX API and 3 metadata elements are attached to the document. We can see the document in the BOX and the metadata elements are present in the Custom Metadata section in the BOX.
2 votesThere are two ways to find files in Box based on the metadata. The existing Search API provides a metadata filtering option and also indexes metadata content. The Metadata Query API provides SQL-like syntax for finding files based on specific metadata condtions. See https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/create/ and https://developer.box.com/guides/search/full-text-search/

Date-based recurring workflow triggers
Relay is great for workflows that occur because a human remembered to perform an action, but we run into issues if the human in question does not remember to start their part. For example, we have a workflow that starts with a staff member downloading a vendor invoice each month, auditing it, then uploading it to our accounting team. That starts a workflow where the accounting team reviews and approves for payment, then an auditor confirms the approval, and the payment is funded. Well, it all falls apart if the person who can download that invoice doesn't respond to a…

Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID
Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range of…

Make Box Drive a NTFS volume
Box Drive is currently recognized as a FAT32 "installed volume". Whenever I try to copy a file from my NTFS SSD, I get a system message telling me that some file properties cannot be copied.
I don't know if that can cause any problem in the files content, but it surely hurts our working efficiency, since we have to do an additional click every time we need to upload a file throughBox Drive.
11 votesBox Drive beta is complete, and this capability is now available in the latest public release. To install the Windows version with ARM support, visit https://www.box.com/resources/downloads. For release details, see https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/43804162052627-Box-Drive-v2-47-for-Windows-Release-Notes.

In Webapp Search filtering - add multi-select for file type filtering or add an option to exclude folders
During searches, returns can include both Files as well as Folders, which adds to the search return clutter. Customer would like a way to filter out all folders results.

Collaborator list size is too small
We have a few users complaining the list view is limited.
Why is this constrained to only 11 collaborators per page? The paginated UX is cumbersome16 votesI’m pleased to report that this change has now been released to all users. When looking at the Collaborators page for a given file or folder, you should now see far more than just 10 users per page, meaning less pagination clicks for you.

Ability to insert custom words as watermark
If a user could add "Confidential" or "Company Secret" into watermarking,
the customer would be able to leave the legal evidence of the statement that the corresponding files are not allowed to disclose externally.
Also, it would be better if there is an option to set watermarking by folders as well.11 votesGreat news — the feature has been successfully delivered for all supported file types!

Show list of collaborators on mobile devices
When inviting a collaborator on a mobile device on a file, the list of users does not appear as it does when inviting collaborators on a folder.
We would like to be able to see this same behavior on files on mobile since it works with folders on mobile and since it works for files on desktop.
2 votesHello Everyone!
This suggestion has been delivered and is now available under 'Share' -> 'Invite' as a list of collaborators. We hope you all enjoy working with shared files.
Thank you for helping make Box better!

error in documentation
On the Authenticate with JWT (SDK) page the Node code snippet creates a const "configJSON," but then when the page references it later, it calls it "appConfig" in another code snippet instead. It references the enterpriseId in the configJSON variable but calls it appConfig.enterpriseId out of nowhere instead. The code breaks like this. Please fix for the sake of people trying to use these code snippets.

Search on metadata multi-select fields
For example, if a customer tags a file with the "Department" key and the values: "Finance" and "HR." "Department" does not appear in the Box UI search bar as a metadata filter option b/c it is multi-select.
79 votesWe have released the ability to search over Metadata multi select fields on the web. Here is a link to the community post: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057067553-Search-Metadata-multi-select-fields. You can also search over such fields using the API: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-search/#param-mdfilters.
Documents uploaded/updated with MD multi select fields from this point going forward will be searchable via that field. Previously uploaded documents with MD multi-select fields will soon be searchable via those fields (backfill is in progress).
