Enable sync of files with lnk extension through Box Drive
Box Drive will not sync files with a .lnk extension. We would like to be able to sync these as they are valuable in certain circumstances and are not hidden/system files.
36 votesThank you for your suggestion. This feature is not planned at this time, however.

Expanding the scope of BoxAI
Box AI works on single documents, but we also want to use it as a file search function across folders and Box as a whole. For example, I would like to have various company regulation files in a box and ask them to answer questions about what kind of application they should make when getting married.

Ability to change the Date Field format
Currently the date field is automatically filled based on the signer's PC device language.
When the language is set in Japanese, the date will be written in Japanese but when it is set in English, the date will be written in English.
It would be great if we can set the language/format of the date to be the same when there is multiple signers with different language setting.35 votes -
Unique domain name for Box Sign
To minimize Box Sign being blocked by customers who block app.box.com, Box Sign should have its own unique domain name. Example, sign.box.com.

Require approval when sharing content with a business justification
Current access policy allows for external collaboration with a valid business justification, but we would also like to have the admin or folder owner approve the request to share externally, before the collaboration is sent. The current design doesn't allow for any validation and could potentially lead to content being shared with a restricted audience. Once the exception is approved, the collaboration could be set.

Search by Created Date and Modified Date
When uploading a file by FTP, the Created Date and Modified Date on Details tab shows timestamp from the local PC.
Box's search function only allows to search by Updated Date that is not the date from Modified Date from Details tab of a file, so please add the finction to search by Created Date and Modified Date for FTP uploaders.Possibly, 120 users could be affected by this function change because most of important files are in their local PCs, and it would be really helpful if they could search them by the dates that on their local PCs.

Password Protected Folders
Would love to be able to password protect certain folders within an unprotected folder. Since permissions "waterfall", I am unable to have a private folder within a public one. After reading the forums, this would be a very useful and widely used feature for businesses who want to limit access to folders to certain groups.

Better visibility for file metadata
We would like for metadata to be more visible next to the file on the preview screen instead of having to go to the metadata section and clicking on view.
If metadata could be more easily accessible on the file, as well as when you copy/move the file within Box, it would be helpful if it went with the file too.

Report on Folder Security settings changes
Would like changes to Folder Security settings to show in the Event stream and in Usage Logs. Since all Owners and Co-Owners of folders have access to these configurations, this is crucial to tracking changes to the security of sensitive content.

A user with folder owner or co-owner privileges outputs a “Collaboration Report”.
Currently, only administrators can output the "Collaborations Report" .
In order to see who is collaborating, we want to allow users with folder owner or co-owner privileges can output a "Collaborations Report" for the appropriate folder.
(in Japanese)
【フォルダ所有者または共同所有者の権限を持つユーザーが、「コラボレーションレポート」を出力する】現在、「コラボレーションレポート」を出力できるのは管理者のみです。
誰がコラボレーションされているか確認するために、フォルダの所有者（共同所有者）権限をもつユーザーが、対象のフォルダやファイルの「コラボレーションレポート」を出力できるようにしたいです。

Worflow Starter should be the assigner of tasks instead of the creator/owner of Relay Workflow.
A relay workflow is created by one owner but used by several people. Since all the tasks are assigned by the workflow owner rather than the workflow starter, its confusing for assignees. E-mail and task notifications should show the workflow starter's name instead of the owner of workflow.

Save local copy of Mobile upload when using Capture feature
Some customers in legal and insurance industries utilize the Capture feature in the Box mobile app to upload sensitive content for legal proceedings and insurance claims (i.e. depositions and statements). If an upload fails when leveraging the Capture feature, that file is not saved locally, and it is not possible to re-attempt the upload. This has major ramifications on the customer's business and legal processes, and should be addressed by auto-saving a copy of the Capture file locally, especially in cases where the upload attempt fails

About the scope of expiration notice to co-owners.
Currently the expiration of the invited user to a folder is notified to the owner and co-owner of the folder,
however, any co-owner cannot receive the expiration of the invitee of its child folder while owner receives all the expiration notification.We would like to request to cascade the scope of co-owner's privilege to its child folders so that the co-owner of the parent folder can receive all the expiration notification of the descendant folders.

Fix the Preview of Excel file versions
Currently, previewing older versions of Excel files does not work. No matter what version is selected, the current version of the file is displayed. The causes users to think that versioning is not happening OR that they have lost all prior versions. When users download a previous version of the file, it has the correct content for that version.

Ability to show Full path from root to collaborated folder
If i have a folder in the following structure
/1/2/3
and I invited User B to Folder 3
When User B access Folder 3 he would have no idea that folder 3 is actually in the path /1/2/3.On Box platform however, there is an optional parameter "canviewpath",
while this can only be used by the folder owner it adds to ability to let collaborator see the folder from root to target folder.34 votesWe currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!
