  1. Prepare documents for signature within the embedded signing experience

    My prospect is a software company for freight, shipping & analytics looking to revamp their doc management and eSign process. They have a high volume of docs, like rate confirmations letters, that need to be sent from brokers to carriers for signature. We have run into a technical gap that Box Platform + Box Sign do not have an API for doc prep in an iFrame. Doc Prep URL as it stands today cannot be embedded. Prospect does not want brokers to go outside of portal to a Box URL window.

  2. Add Box AI support for MP4 and other video file formats

    Add Box AI support for MP4 and other video file formats.

    Speech-to-text can be used to "read" the audio of the video. Box AI can then answer questions bsaed on that text.

  3. Box AI window is blocking underlying document

    Box AI currently opens in a windows that covers the file I'm viewing in the browser.

    Open Box AI in a new window that I can drag to another monitor so I can still see the file I'm using and better form my prompts/questions for Box AI.

  5. Locating who/when files are Moved/Removed (accidentally or on purpose)

    If a user moves/renames/removes files, the URLs shouldn't simply be dead links now. Please record information so that impacted users know When the file was moved/removed, and WHO did the action.
    I recently had Box Notes and Folders get moved or removed. And while I know who SHOULD have been the owner of the content, anyone else having problems finding the content wouldn't know who to contact.
    So if a box link was previously valid, and that content has moved or removed, leaving some breadcrumb for the user, about who to contact, when the content was moved/removed, etc, can help…

  6. Enhance error messages when storage exceeded to identify which account is over storage

    When a user uploads an item to a folder that would exceed the quota, it says "Account storage limit reached." This is misleading if the folder is owned by another user. Users ask for more quota, but it's a different account that has the problem. Please identify the folder owner of the folder that's over quota in the error message.

    This applies both to Web UI and Box Drive error messages.

  7. hidden files

    We use Box Drive for Backup purposes (company policy dos not allow any other product for that purpose). Would be great to have a possibility to upload also the hidden config files which are marked with a dot in front of the filename (e.g. .abc-config) using macbook.

  8. Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved

    We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.

    【Details】
    Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
    For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
    In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the…

    Unfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

  9. Accurate File Count - Script Automation or Access

    As I've discussed with the BOX support team, BOX web interface does not display an accurate count of files. We upload thousands of files per day and when the count of files displayed by BOX is not accurate, we assume there was a network glitch and attempt to re-upload the thousands of files which results in unnecessary network bandwidth and computational resources.

    The BOX support team has access to a script they run to fix errors in the file count. Until the file count is accurately displayed in the web interface, it would be nice if BOX would automatically run…

  10. 【New UI】 Ability to limit authorization settings by co-administrators.

    After the change to the new UI, co-administrators are no longer able to grant or revoke co-administrator privileges to other users for security reasons.
    Some users have voiced a lack of convenience because they are no longer able to do things that were previously possible with co-administrator authority.
    We would like to see a restriction feature added to allow operation only by some co-administrators.

    新UIに変更後、セキュリティ強化の観点から共同管理者では他ユーザーに対し共同管理者権限の付与や剥奪の操作が行えなくなっています。
    これまで共同管理者権限で実施出来ていたことが出来なくなっているため利便性が欠けている声が上がっている。
    一部の共同管理者のみ操作を可能にする制限機能を追加してほしいです。

  12. About Comment Function

    ■request
    I would like to have reaction buttons ("Like", "Super Like", "Sad", "Laugh", etc.) for the comments in the box preview screen.

    ■background
    Since the current Box comment function does not have a reaction function, it is necessary to comment even if you agree with or accept the comment.
    We would like to have a reaction button when agreeing with a comment, as we believe this will encourage collaboration.

    【日本語】
    ■要望
    Boxのプレビュー画面でコメントを記入する欄にそのコメントに対してのリアクションボタン(「いいね」や「超いいね」、「悲しい」「笑い」等)が欲しい

    ■背景
    現状Boxコメント機能はリアクション機能がない為、コメントに対して了解したり同意する場合もコメントする必要があります。
    コメントに対して同意する意味を込める時にリアクションボタンがあるとコラボレーションを活発に行う事ができると考えている為機能実装を希望します。

  13. View file that still on circular

  14. Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads

    When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.

    However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.

    We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible

    Because User Activity Reports record items as 'Download'…

  15. Notification that someone you assigned a Task did not complete it by the deadline you set

    Often I assign Tasks with deadlines. While the person receiving the task gets notifications that the deadline is approaching, I do not get a notification if they did not complete the Task on time.
    This would be extremely helpful to know that Tasks have not been completed so we can follow up.

  16. Progress Bar when uploading and restoring

    Is there any progress bar or any visible information where we can know the progress of tasks being run? For example, I wanted to recover a 200gb folder. It took a long time to find the data that needed to be restored. This is a similar thing when uploading files onto Box onto the web app. There is a progress bar but when a user goes to a new page it disappears and it is still running in the background

  17. Remove the cautionary message at the bottom of file request page

    At the bottom of file request link, the following message is displayed:

    "Before submitting, please make sure that you trust this site, have the rights to the data and want to share this content to the owner of this file request.
    Box Terms of Service|Box Privacy Notice"

    It does not seem professional at all. As we are paying to use the services, this should not be displayed. Okay if you want to advertise that its Box platform, leave the terms and privacy notice. If you are law firm etc, people are already cautious about sending files. the "advice" seems very…

  20. Sort files/folders/etc by exclusively names

    Right now can only sort files and folders by name separately ie. 04 folder, 05 folder, 01 file, 02 file, 08 link, 09 link etc. Would like them all in a row as they are steps to complete/fill out:
    01 file
    02 folder
    03 link
    04 file
    etc...
