Use status field in addition to overlay in Windows File Explorer
This would allow users to see status icons for each folder and file without relying on the file/folder icon overlays that Windows limitations make problematic. OneDrive uses the status field in addition to overlays. Box should, too.

Search Filter UI
Some people say that when they try to use the search filter, the screen goes dark and the filter moves to the right, which makes the UI look like an error.
They want the filter screen to be displayed in a place where the user can easily find it.1 vote -
Hi there! I want to be able to embed the Box Hubs AI chat box on Sharepoint.
The idea: A user visits the intranet, navigates to policies, and can ask about any of our internal policies. The box hub behind it would be full of our policies / documentation. But all the user see's is the Box Hubs Chat Box where they can type human language in about their vacation time or whatever.

Enhance Box AI Responses to Include Clickable Hyperlinks
When Box AI references or cites a document containing a hyperlink, the main text of the response currently displays the hyperlink as plain text. To improve usability and streamline navigation, Box AI should format these hyperlinks as clickable links.
This enhancement would significantly improve the user experience by enabling direct access to the referenced content.

Add string filters to file actions in Box Relay
A Box Relay example: every day at 03:00am i want to delete all files in a folder and it's subfolders which contain a specific string in their filename. I can't do this right now because i have to select a specific file and cannot apply string search or wildcards as file name (e.g. filename contains "xxxy"). Can you please check if this functionality can be applied. Many thanks.

Requests regarding BoxRelay:
If rejecting, please allow us to enter the "reason for rejection." Although we are substituting by entering it in the comments, comments can be deleted.
Please increase the space between the approval and rejection buttons a bit more. There are times when it causes accidental operations.1 vote -
Upload data with binary
Allow to attach additional data points (metadata) while uploading the binary file to Box.
Currently we have to make separate API call to Box's metadata endpoint.
This would be very useful as could simplify our flows and reduce API calls.6 votes -
Download box appears which is deceiving making people think they have to login
We mostly share documents with external clients. When they access the document and press download, a box shows up (attached) that says the document is dowloading but also says "in the meantime login to your box account...." This is very deceiving and confusing to clients as they think they have to login and don't understand they can just close the box. There has to be a way to eliminate that, change the verbiage or customize this. We work with elderly clients and this continues to be a challenge.

Support for the vtt mime type
Would it be possible to support the vtt mime type? This is necessary in order to be able to add "tracks" (i.e. subtitles/captions) to videos.
WebVTT files have a MIME type of text/vtt

Expose technical metadata
In order to find e.g. the largest version of a media file or to define if the technical parameters of a media file are sufficient for further processing, the exposure of technical meta data should be provided by Box in a standard meta data template which should automatically apply to any file stored in Box.
Technical metadata are:
- for page-based documents like PDF, MS Office, Indesign: number of pages, format/orientation, size in mm h/w
- for bitmap image files (tif, jpg, png, bmp, gif, ...): no of pixels h/w, size in mm w/h, resolution, color space, embedded color profile,…2 votes -
Support for fetching and modifying co-admin permissions.
Support for fetching and modifying co-admin permissions.
Currently, Box allows users to retrieve a user’s role as an attribute via the /users/{user_id} endpoint. The possible role values are “user,” “admin,” and “coadmin.” While permissions for the “user” role can be accessed through this endpoint, the permissions and privileges associated with the “coadmin” role cannot be retrieved or modified through the API. This functionality is, however, accessible through the admin console user interface.

BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using
BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

GoogleDrive Regarding file conflicts in
BoxDriveI am aware that there are solutions for file conflicts like the one below, but there are some cases where the above cannot be resolved. (e.g., under a folder with "Hide" enabled).
・Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/sections/21356589562131
・Use BoxDrive's lock function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360061782454I would like Box to consider a feature like Google Drive that allows you to "overwrite" a file in a pop-up when a file conflict occurs.

Visualize the description field on the metadata input screen
Visualize the description field on the metadata input screen
Currently, when you open metadata attached to a file, the description field is not displayed and you cannot view it unless you hover the cursor over the item.
When entering metadata, you want to refer to the description, so it is inconvenient that the description disappears when the cursor is not over it.
I would like them to change it so that the description field is always visible to the user, like before.メタデータの入力画面で説明欄を可視化する
現在、ファイルに付与されたメタデータを開くと説明欄が表示されておらず項目にカーソルを合わせないと確認ができません。
メタデータの入力時は説明の内容を参考にしながら行いたいためカーソルを当てていないと説明表示が消えてしまうのは不便です。
以前のようにユーザー側で説明欄が常に可視化されるように変更してほしいです。8 votes -
Email Uploader Confirmation on File Request Pages
It would be nice to be able to automatically a formatted "confirmation email" to people who upload files using Box File Request links. It could include a summary of the metadata attributes they add (if applicable), file name, as well a custom statement.
I see that Box Relay has an action to email when a file is uploaded with File Request, but there is not an option to email the person initiating the action/uploading the file.

Quickly get a list of folders with NO collaboratoins
We have a few hundred abandoned/orphaned folders from people who left the enterprise, but did not transfer ownership of files. The folders were not deleted when the accounts were deleted. I could quickly delete quite a few of them if there are no collaborations--going by the logic that if there are no collaborations, there is nothing important in them and could easily be deleted since no one has missed the data for several years.

SSO "Part of Company" landing page customization
If SSO is enabled, users (both managed and external) can be prompted with a page asking if they are part of our organization. When you select continue, it take you to the SSO page, which Not a part of Company takes you to login with you Box credentials.
This language is confusing for our external collaborators, as they often think they are part of our organization.
We would like the ability to customize or alter the language on this page to make it clear that the Continue button is for employees only.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。28 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).
