Leave the username on approval tasks intact even after account deletion
It is hard to trace approval history on a file after the related users are deleted. This causes a lot of friction with customers. It would be better if all usernames would stay on approval tasks even after their respective accounts are deleted.

Email invitation notifications sent to users who do not have a Box account
Please display the "system email signature" text in the invitation email sent when inviting a user who does not have a Box account.

Disable Get Started with Box PDF
When a new account is created, the Get Started with Box PDF is added to the user's account. All users within my organization are editors and this becomes an issue when the user's account becomes disabled. We are unable to delete the user's account without transferring owned data to another account first. Considering this file is the only file a user owns, it creates additional work to transfer and delete the file. It would be beneficial to have this option disabled that adds the PDF added to the user's account upon creation.

Improve Move operation to offer choices when destination folder already has file of same name
Currently, if a number of files are selected to move to another location, if the destination location already has filename(s), Box simply advises that the moves for those files has 'Failed', and lists then 'already exists in the folder '....'
Box should instead, like other products, offer a pop-up window, indicating the filenames, locations, dates last modified, (and additionally, if any files are signed), with the option for user to select/unselect file(s) to overwrite or ignore. Filenames selected/ticked would then be moved, together with other files where no match was found.
To simply offer no choice, leaves the user knowing…

Enable users to select alternative applications to open files with in Account Settings\Integrations, other than MS office - such as for imag
The application used to open some filetypes is 'hard-wired'. Users are not offered option to select the application 'to open with'. For example, images can only be opened in MS Paint when opened from Box on Web.
Box should either A) offer the option to select an application to open with (for applications where viewer shows content, or B) should refer to the PC/laptop's Settings\Default apps and use that application
For example, Box displays a preview of an image (jpg/png) selected, but when Open button selected, only MS Paint is offered to open the file. The world has moved on…

Ability to to delete saved previous versions
I am burning through storage because Box is saving every version of a file I am working on. There is currently no easy way to cut down and delete all previous versions of a file, and going through one by one is time consuming (and after I did, did not seem to decrease the folder size anyways). It would be awesome if there was a way to delete all previous versions of a file and only keep the most recent one.

Increase maximum image size for branding a Box Sign to above 1 MB
Upload limit for Box Sign Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.

Ability to read files in view only MSFT Online
With preview not always displaying the content accurately we would like the ability to open content in Office Online but with only viewer permission. This would allow users restricted to View only to view the content accurately.

Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk
I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.
I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.
Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.
Having this functionality is…

Add group members to new group by combining existing groups
I created a new group that will have all the people in 2 existing groups as members. This will be over 70 users in total. Currently I have to enter every single user, but I would like to simply add all members of group A and all members of group B to create the membership of the new group.

Trigger rescan for Auto-Classification when adding new classifications
We did not implement Box Shield immediately upon standing up our new environment. After over 1TB of data was uploaded, leadership wanted us to implement new auto-classifications. There is currently no way to force a rescan of all existing documents to apply those new classifications. Going into each folder and copy/pasting, moving, or editing each file is impractical for tens of thousands of uploaded files. Would like a simple way to trigger the rescan without having to engage for a consulting project for box.com to create custom scripts to update the classifications.

Disable version history deletion for the entire tenant
To comply with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Law, transaction documents are stored in Box, but there is always a risk that the files may be modificated with or deleted.
File deletion and modification can be restricted by retention policies, etc., in addition to folder level of access.
Deletion of version history can also be restricted by folder access permissions.
However, users who have been granted editor or higher privileges can delete version history, and there is no other way to control this.Request the ability to control the deletion of version history in tenant settings.

テナント全体でバージョン履歴の削除を無効にする日本の電子帳簿保存法遵守の為、取引関係の書類をBoxに保存しているため、ファイルの変更、削除されてしまうリスクが常に潜んでいます。

しかし、編集者以上の権限が付与されているユーザーはバージョン履歴が削除できてしまい、他に制御する方法がありません。…

Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
According to the URL above,
"Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.

Reduce the number of hyperlinks in New Share Email Notifications sent to 3rd parties, to reduce likelihood of emails going to Spam
A number of times, when a Box folder has been shared to someone outside our organisation, the end-user does not appear to receive the email notification. Only later is it discovered in their Email Spam folder.
It is noted that there are a large number of hyperlinks in these emails.
Can developers reduce the quantity of hyperlinks in the emails (other than the link to the new share), to reduce the likelihood that the email goes to Spam

Remove File Size Limit
File sizes only continue to grow as video quality improves due to better technology. Our video teams have some files that are 700 GB or more. We are unable to use Box as a backup solution because of the file size limit.
