troublesome 'Saved' and 'What's New' button placement in Notes window
The 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons in the bottom right corner of the Notes window are frustrating in their placement. As I write in Notes, these two buttons constantly obscure my text so that I need to stop typing and hit return several times to 'raise' my text in the Notes document away from those buttons . . . only to (several lines later) find myself in the same situation: the text I'm typing is hidden by the 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons. Surely there's a better way to display these buttons without obscuring where we type. Thank you.

Ability to easily update metadata template
I have created and used a metadata template to comply with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Law, but it is complicated to input the metadata.
We would like you to improve the functionality to make it easier to input the data.8 votes -
Add new options for "file event" when creating a relay workflow
Please add the option "New version or Updated" when creating a workflow for a "file event". The new upload option doesn't work if we're simply making an update/edit to an existing document.

I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.
In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

Suggestions from our IT Director:
Ideally we license Box Shield and it could easily be a policy based on metadata or tagging for certain folders.
This would probably make the most sense.
Any folder tagged with #nomove just couldn’t be moved unless it was first untagged on the web interface by an owner, editor or admin.
It seems customers have been clamoring for this feature for years. It would bring tremendous value to your service.

Comments feature in Box Sign
It would be great for recipients of signature requests to be able to comment on the document. A lot of the times even though the documents are signed for final review and signature, recipients tend to have questions or comments on relevant sections of the document. It would be great to add this in. It's easier than having the recipient send an email with their questions separate from the request email.

Allow signers to propose changes to a document before signing
As a signer, if I don't fully agree to the content of a document, I would like to propose changes to it before I sign. If the sender then accepts my change requests, the altered document would then already be signed by me.

Ability to save entered text as an image.
Fix the bug of saving entered text as an image.
Based from our Webapp specialist, Box Sign documents are always saved as PDF. The text content can be copied, but not the fields that are filled out since those are images, not text.

Real time progress of a file upload via box upload api
When a direct box upload api is invoked, there is no way to know the real time progress of upload. It would be good to get real time progress from box to notify users about the same on our UI.

API searches for a given folder name and creates a folder if not found
In today's world , there is an api that searches for folder and if folder not found returns 404. There is a create folder api which returns 409 error if folder name exists.
This leads tomaking multiple calls to box first to identify or know folder existence and then another call for creating a folder if not found.There is a need for api which does following
Search for a folder given the folder name(input =folder name)
if folder exists with such a name
return folderId
if folder does not exists with such a folder name
create a folder with folder name as same as input

Cancel a direct upload in progress through API
When a direct upload begins via an API, there is no option to stop/cancel the upload while it is in progress. A file can only be deleted after a successful upload.
Provide an option to stop/revert upload via an API. If a user realizes that he/she has uploaded the wrong file and wishes to cancel the upload while in progress is not possible.
Canceling an upload while in progress is possible through box webpage but not through via.

Email-to-folder Security Concern - Need Visibility
Need a report based on email-to-folder entries. Our cyber-security platform recently flagged a change in auto-forwarding to a Box email address (one of those cryptic folder addresses), but I cannot find the folder that contains the feature turned on. The User Activity Report has a column, "Details" that shows "Service: Email Folder," but I don't see our suspect folder listed. Maybe there have been no emails going there yet- but this is a security concern that needs clarification. Should be an easy report to build, the records exist in your database. Thanks.

Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier)
Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier).
Today, configuring an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier) is all manual, and these should be able to be triggered by Box Smart Access (aka DLP) the same way that external collaboration can be automatically turned off for Box Smart Access.
E.g. a document says "Secret Project XYZ," then by default only management can access files that contain this phrase.
E.g. a document has bank account numbers on it, then by default only finance can access it.
E.g. a document has social security numbers on it, then by default only HR can access it.
Etc.

Improve metadata search UI design.
We are currently confined to a small box with scroll bars when using Metadata search. Please improve the UI design so we can see all the fields without having to scroll (pop-out, iFrame, etc.)

If I move a file, let me leave a hint to the new location in the original folder
When a shared file or folder is renamed and/or moved to a different folder, retain a hint in its original location that it's been moved so that "Search in folder" can helpfully inform that the file/folder has been moved or renamed, and provide a link to the new location. The user does not need to see the current name of the file, or its new location. When they follow the link, they access the file/folder according to how it's shared at its new location.
An expandable "Recently moved" area in each folder could provide a compact list of files and folders, with names as they appeared in this folder, such contents for browsing.
Folder owners can remove hints from the folder if it's necessary.
This would help people keep track of shared material when a folder layout changes, and encourage people to keep folders and files organised.

Ability to edit file request
I created a file request with 3 different file request upload boxes (videos, images, quotes), but didn't know that users MUST upload something into the first box or they would get an error. It would be VERY helpful to either be able to edit a file request (so I can change it to just one upload box) or allow people to upload into ANY of the file request boxes.

Remove greyed out options for editable shared links
Remove greyed out options for editable shared links if the edit option has been removed from the enterprise settings. It causes end user confusion and would rather have it not be visible if the admin/IT/Security teams choose to not elect to have this available within enterprise settings.

□ I want to be able to increase and customize the definition of shared links
□ I want to be able to increase and customize the definition of shared links
What you want to achieve
・I want to be able to set the definition of shared links by the administrator.
・ I want to be able to specify whether or not to access the link by the domain of the email address.
・I want to set a shared link for the created group.As a business impact, in the case of school use, all faculty members and all students can see it in the "company user" of the shared link.
In some cases, students may want to make it inaccessible and only faculty and staff can see it,
so if you can customize the definition of the shared link by specifying it in the domain, you can reduce the man-hours for invitations and protect information.【日本語】
