File and Folder IDs as windows Metadata
Hello, I would like for the Box IDs for files and folders to be saved in their metadata. This way, I can integrate our Box with our other services, while maintaining security access to box and allowing users to click on dynaically produced hyperlinks. I cannot use a windows Path, as I do not know the users permission levels from the top level to the file to be accessed.
Our applications do not have access to the Box OAUTH2 API for security reasons and because VBA is very old.2 votes -
Adjust to Microsoft B2B Direct Connect
We would like to operate Box as a single tenant for a tenant that has a Micoroft B2B direct connection.
As Microsoft seems to be focusing on multi-tenant organization, I think it would be good to apply it as Box as well.2 votes -
Filename searches are incredibly slow
Searches in the web interface are painfully slow, even when limited to file names and filtering on specific types of files. There is clearly a need to index the metadata.

In-platform simple shared calendar feature has been requested for years. Kindly let us know if it is, in fact, off the table.
Users have been asking for this simple feature for years. Box has been ignoring this request for years.
I would like to see some accountability to users.
What is the protocol for communicating user requests up the chain?
Has this common, years-long user request been reviewed by box's leadership yet?
If not, please provide a date when it will be reviewed.
If so, please advise as to what the outcome of that discussion was. i.e., has the request been dismissed permanently?Will Box leadership please communicate this clearly to the user community?

I want to be able to distinguish between saved and non-saved reports on the "Report Status" screen.
Currently, it is not possible to determine whether a saved report is being output on the "Report Status" screen, so you will need to check the "Repeat Interval" on the "Edit Schedule" screen each time.
For example, if a saved report is being output, we would like to see the name of the saved report displayed in the "Memo" field on the "Report Status" screen.

the ability to see only files and folders names which managed users were invited
Currently, co-administrators who have been granted permission to [view the user's content] can see which managed users have been invited to which folders and what content is within those folders. Additionally, they can preview the files.
Since the helpdesk operations are outsourced, we would like the external staff to be able to confirm only the folder names and file names from the Content Manager, without being able to view or edit the contents of the files.
Please enable the ability to grant co-administrators the permission to reference only the folder and file names, while restricting access to the contents inside.

Make setting a password for shared links mandatory.
Currently setting password for shared links is not mandatory. We would like to have the ability to set a global control that requires all public/open ('people with the link') links to be password-protected.

Daily reminders on uncompleted tasks for Approvers in box relay
Would like to have a function to notify the Approver for uncompleted tasks in box relay on a daily bases. A popup when opening box of the web would also do.
When the Approver of a task is extremely busy, the current email notification is not enough, therefore would like to have an automatic reminder on a daily bases on pending approval tasks.

Remove Logo on Expiring Embed Link
Hello, we would like the ability to remove the BOX logo when creating an expiring embed link while using the get file information. Just like the embed widget we would like the ability to disable the box logo when embedding an expiring embed link to an iFrame.
It would be a more seamless integration of BOX in the back ground as we are embedding these links into applications2 votes -
External Users Count + Quicker Updates
The External User count is inconsistent between the new view and the old view. It never shows the same total number of users. Additionally, this count can also be inconsistent between our admins never showing the same total.
We would like to see quicker real time updates. Data taking up to 24 hours to show here is concerning when we are managing external users in our environment.

Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory
Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory. For example, this file has a parent folder that is named ".Rproj.user" which starts with a dot.

Shared Link Expiration (Exception) Settings at Folder Level
I need to be able to control the shared link expiration rules at the folder level, especially when they are an exception from the enterprise-wise rule. We have a handful of use cases that fall outside of the top-line structure, and updating links 1-by-1 is added workflow time on the team. Changing for all assets under a folder would save time and impact when links expired by accident or stay live beyond desired timeline.

How can I specify a file type to ignore or block
I found a thread on the forum (URL copied below) which was asking exactly what I am looking for. However, it is 4 years old and this page also has many ideas suggested but they haven't been addressed. Thus, I am not sure if my idea will be addressed but I will mention it anyway.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360052391193-How-To-ignore-FilesThere are certain files I want Box sync to ignore or block. I would suggested allowing the user to create a configuration file in the root folder for the same in which we can specify files to ignore or block. This way, Box sync…

Use Box Hubs and BoxAI to let me find previously crafted responses to similar questions
I want to be able to put a series of documents (dozens or even a hundred of PowerPoints and Excel files) into a Hub and then ask Box AI to find where I've answered a previous question before, identify the file in which it found it and even tell me the location if possible, such as a slide number.
I had hoped Box AI and Box Hubs already worked this way, but after some failures I worked with Box Support who confirmed that it does not work that way, at least not yet.

I want the API to query Box Hubs for AI queries
I want to use the Box AI API to query hubs. Querying a limited set of files and passing to the AI engine is insufficient. I want to leverage the vector database of Hubs to answer questions about a collection of documents.
My other alternative is to build this out myself. I don't want to do this. I want to leverage the power of the Box AI API. Instead of files I want to be able to pick the hub and ask the question for AI to answer for me.

Prohibits operation of files and folders that have not been synchronized with the Box server（Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダの操作禁止）
When operating a file or folder that has not been synchronized with the Box server, the update contents may not be reflected on the Box server and may be lost. To prevent this, we would like to have an optional function that prohibits users from operating a file or folder until it has been successfully reflected to the Box server.
(In Japanese)
Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダを操作すると、Boxサーバに更新内容が反映されず消失することがある。これを抑止するために、正常にBoxサーバに反映が完了するまではユーザの操作を禁止するオプション機能が欲しい。2 votes -
Panning in Canvas: other than mouse functions, scrollbars would help
If you're zoomed in on a Canvas, the mouse scroll wheel is a nice way to move up and down, or left and right. But, like most applications, scroll bars would be great to have as well.
