HTML should be rendered in Preview mode again
HTML files appear to no longer be rendering the HTML. Instead, they are just showing me the content of the HTML code.

Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser
Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser.
We have applied Box Shield's [Download and Print Restriction] to "For Box Desktop" and [Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via browser is also disabled.
Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via a browser is also disabled.
Similarly, Office co-editing functions that are opened via a browser should not be restricted, since access in BoxEdit is not restricted.
Errors in opening the file in the browser cause confusion for the user.
Also, please add the following explanation to the Access Policy Settings…30 votes -
Ability to Name Scheduled Reports
Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is…

Box Sign - Add Notary | eNotary
Add the ability to have a document notarized. The notary needs to be invited by a signer and should include standard notary fields. Please see equivalent feature in DocuSign for reference.
30 votesThank you for upvoting this request.
Currently Notary support is not planned for 2024, but it's being considered for 2025.
Please continue upvoting the request so that the product team can take into account your feedback.

File request - Allow only Manage Users from an EID to upload via File Request
In file request, have the ability to state that only a managed user in the EID or an external user that has been invited to the folder can upload, no one else. By doing this, it prevents a file request link from being randomly guessed or found on the internet AND prevents a random user from uploading bad or malware/virus infected content. The current state of requiring the user to login is too generic and doesn't meet the requirement of keeping the file request locked down. Using the collaboration role for upload is not what is needed. The File Request…

Box Shield - reporting option within UI to export past Threat Detection Alerts
In addition to the Shield Dashboard, an option to export all past threat detection alerts
30 votesThis feature is something we want to bring with Shield. The team has developed a plan for Shield to support this functionality on the backend, but the feature is not on our immediate roadmap. We will continue to build out our plans to bring this to customers as the team works on our current roadmap.

Notification "new version" upload
Notify the folder group when a new version is uploaded.
Currently only when the first version is uploaded, a notification is sent. If version 2 is uploaded, the folder group does not get a notification.30 votesNot planned for current year.

Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link
For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.
Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.
30 votesThis is currently not planned but we will re-evaluate priorities in Q3/Q4 of FY23

Improved project/task management
Will be great to have some of the Dropbox paper features in Box notes.
1. Improved checklists -- tagging people and having dates (must have)
2. Ability to tag people within the note (great to have)
3. Improved tables -- for ex sorting (nice to have)
4. Creating timelines (nice to have)
5. Adding media30 votes -
Ability in Box Drive to have documents physically stored on PC or external driver
In Box Drive it would be good that the documents are physically on our PC in offline mode, not just a memory copy (metadata).
30 votesThere’s an ongoing private beta for external drive support on macOS. We’ll share more details as progress is made.
For the other request: with Box Drive on Windows, you can mark files and folders for offline use, and that content will be downloaded to your device. Starting with Box Drive for Windows v4.27, even if you quit Box Drive, all downloaded content remains available on disk and can be opened and edited.

If a user locks the file, it should be only unlockable by that user and an administrator, not other Editors
Other users unlocking defeats the purpose of locking in the first place.
30 votesThanks for the suggestion! This is not currently planned, but we will keep it in mind for future enhancements of the product.

Create a group of previously created groups aka nested groups
We have a group of providers that we would like to make a larger super-group of the nested smaller groups instead of adding each individual user
30 votesAt this time, we are developing solutions for using groups to grant access to apps and enterprise settings. https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/36670615
Supporting nested groups may be a longer term vision that we consider after solving the first problem above.

Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.
It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.
Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.
30 votesThanks for the suggestion. Please continue to post use cases and feedback, to help us prioritize for a future release.

Enhanced Locking Experience on Sync (mimic file server experience) - Auto-Lock & Unlock
Adapt the Box Sync / Box for Desktop lock/unlock experience to mimic the standard locking UX that users are familiar with from Windows file servers.
Example screenshot from file server UX: https://cloud.box.com/s/4px71vfralrlpnj6x9sdeoquyxdellg6Key Components:
-Pop-up upon double-clicking a file to ask user if they'd like to check out (lock) a file or open a read-only version
-Auto-unlock upon closing the file30 votesWe currently do not have any new features planned for Box Sync. This is something that is under consideration for Box Drive. Please see that request here: https://pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/35983087/.

User-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the User level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults at the user level. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a user can generate Open Shared Links (e.g., disable open links per user), invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated by that user, even if those users are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
30 votesWe are currently focused on building groups for access to 1st and 3rd party apps and specific enterprise settings in Box rather than focusing on groups or individual users for sharing controls. Uservoice request here: pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/36670615
To achieve granular sharing controls, you can explore using Box Shield to classify sensitive content and set access policies to that content.

Security Report: Include Changes to Any Setting from Enterprise Settings
Currently, the Security Report doesn't appear to capture quite a few settings changes that happen in Enterprise Settings in the Admin console, which is bad.
For example, if an admin is wanting to know who changed the 'save files to device' setting on the Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Mobile tab, there's no in-product way currently to identify that. Also,
--All Notifications tab settings except for the Compliance Email Archive settings are missing
--ALL settings from the Apps tab are missing, meaning there are no filters/logs exposed currently for any changes to make apps available/disabled, disabling all published apps,…30 votes -
'Email Shared Link' - Add Reporting for the Recipient (Who the shared links were sent to)
When sending shared link emails (via the Shared Link modal -> Email Shared Link option) we do not report on who we sent the email to.
REQUEST: In the UI and Excel exports, add information on who the shared link email was sent to.

Hubs - Add ability to arrange sections horizontally
Will there eventually be an opportunity to arrange sections horizontally in the future? Thinking more like a canvas for a dashboard.

Save Microsoft Teams Recordings to Box
When recording a call/meeting in Microsoft Teams, it defaults to using OneDrive as it's default storage. Currently the process of saving a recording is a manual process of downloading the recording, and uploading to Box. I'd like an option to default recording data to Box instead.
