  1. Ability to export and import all settings in the tenant in JSON format, YAML format, etc

    I would like to see a function that allows you to export and import all settings in the tenant in JSON format, YAML format, etc.

    For example, when creating a sandbox environment with the same settings as the production environment, it is possible to modify only the environment-specific values on the export data and then import them, or it can be used as a backup of the tenant setting values themselves.
    It is an image like AWS's CloudFormation.

    テナント内のすべての設定をJSON形式、YAML形式などでエクスポートおよびインポートできる機能を見たいです。
    例えば、本番環境と同じ設定でサンドボックス環境を作成する場合、エクスポートデータの環境固有の値のみを変更してインポートすることも、テナントの設定値自体のバックアップとして利用することもできるためです。
    AWSのCloudFormationのようなイメージです。

  2. About Updating Assignee (s) Set to Workflow

    Please improve so that when a user account is deleted by an administrator, it is also automatically deleted from the Assignee(s) in the workflow.

    This is because a deleted user remaining in the workflow Assignee (s) can cause the workflow to stop and cause unintended actions.
    Improvements are needed to ensure that the user's work is not interrupted.

    BoxRelayのワークフローに設定される担当者に削除済のユーザーが残っていることでワークフローが停止されたり意図しない動作が発生する可能性があるためです。
    ユーザーの業務が中断されないために改善が必要です。

  3. Add Timestamp to Files and Folder Tree Report

    The Files and Folder Tree report in the Admin Console only displays the date for content created/modified, etc. It'd be helpful to include the full timestamp in the date field.

  4. Ability to make an account READ-ONLY which includes Download restriction

    For security purposes, we need to set accounts to READ-ONLY mode. Currently, Box offers four account status options: Active, Inactive, cannotdeleteedit, and cannotdeleteedit_upload.
    Unfortunately, none of these statuses allow for a true read-only setting. The latter two statuses still permit downloading, which poses a risk of data exfiltration from Box. The Inactive status is also not suitable, as it prevents all collaborators from accessing shared content. We request the creation of a READ-ONLY status to address this need.

  5. Customize System-Generated Email Notification Messages

    Box notification emails (such as the warning users receive when content will be deleted by retention policy) should be customizable to some degree. They should also include the ability to include a link users can click for more information.

  6. Automatic Data Move without an assigment

    We have created a relay and need a use case where a file, after being uploaded to a specific folder, is automatically moved to another folder. Currently, the relay is only possible when the starter confirms an assignment; we need this without an assignment. The file should be moved after a defined time.

    Details:

    Initial Inquiry: We asked if a relay could be set up to move files automatically after upload without requiring an assignment.
    Box Support Response: Suggested using “A Scheduled Event” as a trigger.
    Clarification: We clarified that the trigger must be the file upload, with the action…

  7. A list of users who have sent "email to all" in a report.

    The "Email All" function on the collaborator list screen on the folder screen allows you to check which user sent what message and when in the "User Activity Report", but it does not allow you to check which user the "Email All" was sent to.
    I understand that "Email to all" cannot be sent to users with pending invitations or when there are more than 500 collaborators,
    but when there are a large number of collaborators, it is difficult to know how many users are pending, and checking the "Collaboration Report" takes time.
    In addition, there may be cases where…

  8. Ability to Hide Files from Users in Box Hubs

    It would be useful to have the option to hide certain files from users in Box Hubs. This would allow us to add files in formats like .csv or JSON for Box AI to process without cluttering the user interface. Often, data is organized in ways that are visually helpful for users but difficult for Box AI to interpret effectively. By hiding files, we could optimize the AI's ability to provide accurate answers while keeping the UI clean.

    For example, we use a complex PDF matrix to help staff identify key contacts for various tasks like reporting, data analysis, and…

  9. Create Shortcuts to Other Folders within Box

    We would love to be able to create shortcuts to other related files within files in Box on the web. For an example, in windows file explorer, you can create a shortcut from someone's individual file and someone's business file.

  12. Ability to analyze content in Hub

    Hub owners sometimes want to see which content they've registered with Hub is popular.
    Please add an analytics function that can visually check not only the number of users accessing Hub, but also the number of accesses per content.

  13. Box AI for Hubs limits

    Box AI for Hubs is limited to 10,000 files per Hub.
    When you use it as a FAQ site of Hubs, it easily exceeds 10,000 folders to store manuals and specifications.
    I would like you to remove the limit or raise the limit value for effective use of Hubs.

  15. Editing Box Hubs: Adding a description to a file or folder

    I'd like to be able to add a short description to each file and folder I add to the Hub.
    For example, a description is added just below the file or folder icon, or a speech bubble appears when you hover the cursor over the file or folder icon.

    This suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release. 

  16. "Referrer"

    We are planning to use Box as file storage of our members only page.
    We need "Referrer" function to allow access to folders and files only from our members only website.

  19. Remove or Show a Different Box Admin Address to Enterprise Users

    In the Account tab of the user Account Settings screen, users can scroll down & see our Box Admin service account e-mail address, which we need to keep invisible. (We certainly don't want users spamming it when we have a help desk.)

    How can we either eliminate showing the Admin Contact here or show a different address? (This should be an Admin Console setting.)

    This part of the product design does not show any regard for an enterprise with more than a few IT folks.

  20. Remove Box Drive path limit 260 characters in Windows

    Support longer than 260 character paths in Windows for Box Drive as this not a limitation in Windows but a limitation in Box Drive

    Due to Box user rights logic, we often have very long folder paths and file names. Our all workstations are Windows 10/11 workstations. Most of our users prefer the Box Drive solution over the Box.com web app.

    This leads to a situation where often paths in Box Drive are longer than 260 characters.

    Windows supports MAX_PATH which lifts the 260 character restriction: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry

    This instruction is referred in the Box instructions on this topic that state…
