  1. Microsoft Office

    When collaborating on Office documents shared via Box we're unable to track changes. It would be nice to have this enabled. Essentially the same functionality as if we were working within Sharepoint.

  2. About the display when Box is opened from the Team mobile app with the mobile screen mode "dark mode".

    I use my mobile to access Box on the Teams mobile app.
    When the mobile screen mode is set to "Dark Mode", the screen will appear dark when the "Box Files" option on the Teams mobile app is selected and the box is opened, making it impossible to see file names, etc.
    Please improve the Box so that it can be used in dark mode.

    モバイルでTeamsモバイルアプリ上からBoxにアクセスして使用しています。
    モバイルの画面モードを「ダークモード」にしている場合、Teamsモバイルアプリ上の「Box Files」を選択しBoxを開くと画面が暗く表示されるためファイル名等を確認することができません。
    ダークモードでもBoxを利用できるよう改善してほしいです。

  3. Gallery

    I share albums of photos which are hosted in a box folder. It would be great if the page that I share could look like a very nice gallery layout similar to a Google photos album where some photos are bigger and some are smaller. Rather than the UI of a grid layout with filename. To have an option to to view like this when sharing

  4. Dataroom Indexing

    Similar to other virtual dataroom software solutions, Box.com should be able to autoindex files. This is a very basic capability that other solutions like Egnyte, Firmex and Sharefile are able to do. The reason this is important is so that you can direct an external party to look for a file at a specific index/location such as 1.1.5.6.4. See below for FAQ with document indexing for Egnyte and Sharefile.

  5. When a client is viewing on their phone in browser, the video should go full screen when they hold their phone horizontally.

    I have clients who view our videos on their phone everyday. I can’t control if they have the box ap or what phone/browser they use. But they should be able to view our videos full screen horizontally. Currently it will go full screen Vertically, but if they move their phone horizontally it is a weird zoomed in look that is not full screen.

  6. Show full file names within iOS app

    The current iOS mobile app by design only shows the first 10-12 characters of file names in portrait mode. It is not much better in landscape mode. This makes the app very hard to work with if you have many files which have the same first 20-50 characters. It should be possible to view the full file names in the iOS app.

  7. Create one of "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs

    In Teams V2 integration, when you add a Box app to a team from the left menu, Apps >Box> Add to Team > Select the team you created > Set Tab, you may see "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs created.
    Please improve the functionality so that only one of the tabs is created, as users may be confused as to which tab to use.

  11. default file request webpage for child folders

    We would like to create a default File Request Webpage Template that automatically applies to every folder we create under the parent folder rather than having to Copy the File Request Webpage.

    We expect the root parent "Request File Webpage" to be the default for all child folders created new under the parent folder...

    We want the exact same layout and fields on every "Request File Webpage" for every child folder under the parent.
    Not the link, but the Webpage layout and fields.

    We are hoping, at minimum, we can setup a Default or Template that can be applied every…

  12. I have some files sorted into collections. It would be great if I could select all the files and tag them.

    Currently you have to tag each file in a collection individually. If you select all the tag option disappears.

  15. Quota Notifications for End Users

    I would like a way to set up different thresholds where a user can be notified that they are getting close to exceeding their quota limit. Give me the option to allow notifications at 95% and 99% and then every time they have hit their quota limit when they are someone else adds files to something that they own. I would also like to see warnings added for collaborators when they add files to another person's shares that indicate that they have hit a quota limit for the owner of the folder and give them a warning that they need…

  18. Ability for users with viewer privileges to open files in desktop applications

    In BoxWeb, users with viewer privileges have the "Open" button grayed out and cannot deploy files on the desktop.
    However, BoxDrive allows users to open Office files as "read-only" even if they are viewers.

    With BoxDrive, when a file with viewer privileges is opened, it is extracted in the Office application, but with BoxWeb, if you want to view the file using the Office application, you need to download the file, which is time-consuming and cumbersome.
    I would like to see an improvement so that the file can be extracted directly in Office without downloading.
    I would like to see…

  19. Can't insert video from the file in PowerPoint Online in Box

    It is currently impossible to insert a video from the local file in PowerPoint Online via Box.
    The only options are "Insert from stock video" and "Insert online video".
    However, this feature is present in native Microsoft 365 PowerPoint Online in SharePoint/OneDrive.

    The feature set in Office Online apps should be the same in Box and MS. Otherwise, MS Office Online in Box can't completely replace SharePoint.

  20. Group-based SSO configuration

    Current Status and Issues:
    SSO mode can only be set for all users.
    If SSO is mandatory, when IdP fails, all users cannot log in to Box.

    Desired Improvement:
    I would like to specify a Box group to enable/disable/require SSO. If only the administrator can set "SSO Enabled", he/she can log in even in case of IdP failure, and by changing the setting of general users from "SSO Required" to "SSO Enabled", the business can continue.
    Furthermore, if possible, we would like to set it up so that different groups can SSO in different IdPs.

    Reason for need:
    The IdP…
