Password updates
Login passwords currerntly enforce unnecessary format restrictions that are hindering the use of password generators. Characters < > cannot be used, and there also is a requiement to include at least two digits. Most hashing password generators use all printable characters (as they should), and ensure only the occurrence, but not the quantity, of character classes, i.e. 1 of each printable chartacter classes (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, special).
Suggestion: allowing all printable characters and only requiring a minimum of 1 character from each intended class (occirrence only) would make Box login passwords compliant with the vast majority of hashing password generators and thus massively improve login security. There also is a cryptographic advantage to not necessarily requiring, but allowing all classes. At the same time, requiring a minimum password length of only 8 as per current implementation is grossly insufficient (we love Box, but it's not the 1990s anymore).

Hide "editable" so it's not accidentally selected
A feature that allows editing from a shared link has been released.
At the time of release, the settings are released as "View and Download and Editable" according to the Box Note settings.
After the release, the setting was changed to "View and Download Available" in the tenant settings.
Editable" is now displayed when attempting to configure shared links in a tenant environment after settings have been made.We would like it to take over the settings when they are not editable and hide the "editable" setting so that it is not accidentally selected.

共有リンクから編集する事ができる機能がリリースされています。
リリース時点での設定はBox Noteの設定に準じて「表示とダウンロードおよび編集可能」の状態でリリースされています。
リリース後にテナント設定で「表示およびダウンロード可能」に設定変更を行いました。
設定を行った後、テナント環境で共有リンクの設定を行おうとした際に「編集可能」が表示されるようになりました。
現状は表示されていても「編集可能」を選択する事は出来ず、エラーが表示されます。編集可能ではない設定をした際には設定に乗っ取り、「編集可能」を誤って選択しないよう非表示にしてほしいです。

Default sort only savable from All files page
The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default. When refreshing the page it goes back to the last sort that you used on the "All Files" page.
Similar to other online file sharing platforms, when you change teh default sort to name or last modified it saves that sort for all other folders. On Box.com if you change the default sort to by last modified on the All Files page it then applies that as the default sort for all other sub folders. I found this bug with Box support after entering a ticket. They suggested I report the bug here. Case 2744369The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default.

Be able to use Microsoft 365 for our mail server sending Box Sign
We would like to use Microsoft 365 to send mail for Box Sign. The issue now is that some people get emails from Box and they'll block the domain in their spam filters. (Sorry Box) Most of our customers have our domain whitelisted. It would look more professional and we can manage it better.

Accurate display of number of files
Fixed the problem of inconsistent number of files
Inconsistencies in the number of files can occur when large amounts of data are owned or moved for business purposes.
There is a workaround for this in the support page, but it does not work in some cases.
Even if we can confirm the exact number of items in the report, the size may differ due to data inconsistencies.
We feel that it is inconvenient for business use to not be able to accurately grasp the number of data.
Please fix the inconsistency of the number of files.[日本語]

Ability for another user to "resolve" and / or reply to a comment or annotation
As a document owner, I want to be able to resolve comments / annotations made by other users. It would also be useful to be able to reply (in a thread) to a comment (e.g., to get clarification.)

Ability to customize the notification emails sent from Relay
We would like to incorporate this into Relay as a review and tracing task by forcing notifications to specific people or groups.
It is difficult to do the above with the current e-mails being sent.
It can't be reached with a single click because there is no file name or link to the trigger folder in the email only.
Therefore, we would like to see the following improvements.[About the image]
・It could be mistaken for spam.
・Most of the mail body is occupied by images, making it difficult to read fixed messages.
At the very least, We would like to change the image size or set the image to none.
・If the display can be customized, I'd like to put a logo or something on it to clearly identify it as a tenant environment.[About the Footer]
・For tenant environments that do not support mobile devices, the display of links in the footer can be confusing, so we would like to be able to select the footer display.(In Japanese)
Relayから送信される通知メールをカスタムできるようにしてほしい。通知先を特定者またはグループに強制する事で査閲やトレース作業としてRelayに組込みたいと思っています。
現在送信されるメールで上記の運用する事は難しいです。

そのため、以下のような改善を希望します。[画像について]
・迷惑メールと勘違いされる可能性がある
・メールボディ部のほとんどを画像が占有し固定メッセージが読みずらい。
せめて画像サイズを変えるか画像をなしに設定したい。・表示がカスタムできるならテナント環境と明確にわかるようにロゴ等を貼りたい。

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.

Box Sign needs detail report that lists for each form status and recipient details
Box Sign needs a new report that shows detail information like, the form/template name, date sent, recipient(s), status of form, date of last action on the form, who performed the last action, and if reminders were enabled when the form was sent. Ideally the report should have search criteria available on the form/template name, date range sent, recipient, status, and date range and performer of last action on the form.

Download with Metadata
I would like the option to download a file with its metadata added as a cover page.
It wouldn't need to be formatted nicely, just anything that keeps the metadata easy to see once the file is downloaded.

Allow the "Folder" column to be expandable when adding/modifying managed users in BOX
When adding users or modifying a managed user, the 'Folders' column when you are adding folders is not expandable. You also cannot really widen the Administration window for Users and Groups in the Admin console.
1) Can we make the Users and Groups section in the admin console wider? Or just as wide as my browser window?
2) Can you make the 'Folders' column when managing or editing a user expandable so I can see the folder full name?

Allow file locking when MS Office Coauthoring is enabled.
Prior to MS Office Coauthoring, I could lock a file in Box, with would allow me to edit it normally, but it would be read only for anyone else.
Since coauthoring, I can not open and edit files that I have locked. Support has let me know that this is just a limitation of coauthoring.
The workaround is to move the file to a folder where only I have editing access, but that would require moving the file around to different locations.
Would love the ability to temporarily lock files again. And if this isn't going to be (or can't be) fixed, shouldn't Box eliminate the "lock/unlock" option from Box Drive for users who have coauthoring enabled?

Column with type of update and badge if unseen by me
I would like to see a column or some other means to see the type of update made to the file vs current view just showing the time and account that updated. Example: comment added, new version uploaded, edited, etc.
It would be even more valuable to understand if I have seen the update, similar to "updated" icon on recents view page.
Currently I have to reconcile by the updated time if the update is new to me which often typically requires going in to preview area to track changes manually, which can be difficult and tedious and sometimes impossible in larger documents

Box Sign making a copy of the file should be optional
Currently when using an already uploaded file to make a Box Sign request, it creates a copy of the file and adds a (1) after the name. For example "Document.pdf" becomes "Document(1).pdf", with both copies being included in the folder.
This occurs in the use case where I have created a folder to share files & also requiring some of the files to be signed.
Please make this an option to either create a copy or overwrite the existing file so that only one copy of the remains in the folder.

Allow the custom renaming of a report before it's run
All the reports have a standard name (i.e. useractivityrunon2022-11-01-14-38-28Page1) and there is no ability to create a custom name. As an admin we run more than a single report in an hour and that report may be associated with a user or file name we're searching for. We need the ability to be able to customize the report name that is relevant so we don't have 5-10 reports running that all start with useractivityrunon{date and time} for example.

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.

Allow Users and Admins to set folders to be excluded from search results
It would be useful if Administrators had the ability to set folders to be excluded from Search results by default. For example, if a folder is used for historical archive purposes it might not be relevant for the majority of searches, but inclusion in search results will make it harder to find what the user is actually looking for. It would also be useful if users could do this for their own accounts as well.
One possible method of implementation is to add a Tag called "Archive" (or something similar) to folders that Users and/or Admins can set to exclude the folder from search results.
During searching, a prompt could be displayed with the option "See matches in Archive folders" to allow users to reinclude those excluded folders when necessary.
