Use customer's own email gateway to send email notifications
Many customers in regulated industries do NOT like the fact that email notifications from Box come from the Box Service with a noreply@box.com email address. The emails that Box sends on the user behalf do not go through a customer's email security or e-discovery system thus it creates problems in regulated environment that need to capture ALL communications between internal users and external customers. Box needs to have a configuration where a customer can configure their own SMTP gateway that Box can use to send email notifications with the proper TO and FROM data so they can better document and…

Improved messaging for "Share" dialog box and handling of Links
I have been using Box for a couple of years and still find the Share function and creation of Links very confusing and non-intuitive. For example, what are "Invited People?" and how are they different than 'People with the Link?" Why have 2 different places to copy the link? One is on the first dialog box and it appears that one takes the viewer to Box.com and they can view or download the file, but then if you click on "Link Settings" adifferent dialog box opens and there is another link you can copy. This one says Direct Link above…

Easier way to create a bookmark in Box from shared link generation
Bookmark takes too many steps even when saving a Box's shared link. It should be easier to create a bookmark of a shared Link from adoption perspective.
As-Is: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Copy the link 3. Move to folder where I want to save a bookmark 4. Create Bookmark and paste&name the link
To-Be: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Prepare a prompt (probably in the shared Link generation popup) and select "Create Bookmark" and user can select folder they would like to save the link in within the same prompt 3. Save the bookmark (without actually moving…

Expose Box's "Notification Email" field to SAML provisioning and syncing
The "Notification Email" functionality in Box is very helpful for @mentions, file sharing invites and other user notificaitons that need to go to an email address other than the email address used to sign into Box. This can be the necessary when a company has subsidiaries on a common directory infrastructure, but one or more subsidiaries is still maintain the old email identities for day to day work. There are likely other reasons to use this field.
Email: john.doe@mothership.com (Used to sign in.)
Notification email: jdoe@subsidary.com (The correct email address for user notifications.)Box's SAML integration allows an Identify Provider,…

Show file/metadata info from Photoshop image files
Photographers submit their images to our Box account for use in our publications. The industry standard is for professional photographers to add metadata like the photo credit and caption to each photo using the "File Info" tool in Photoshop. Unfortunately, after doing so and then uploading the images to Box, the metadata added in Photoshop is not visible in Box's metadata section. Please consider exposing this info under "details" or "metadata."
Extra credit: Allow us to edit that same metadata in Box. Doing so would allow the correct credit and caption info to flow into our InDesign layouts. Saving lots…

Show full folder path at top
Too much of the file path is collapsed at the left while there is plenty of space along the top to show more of the path.

Ability to link the task function of MS Teams to the task function of Box
Request a function that can link the task function of Box and the task function of Teams of M365.
Specifically, I want to be able to manage tasks from the task function of Teams, although the content exists on Box.Currently, it is necessary to receive task notifications by e-mail, access BoxWeb and approve them, but by implementing this function, it is possible to receive and approve notifications at the same time, improving business efficiency.
(Japanese)
Boxのタスク機能とM365のTeamsのタスク機能を連携させることができる機能を要望します。
具体的には、Box上にコンテンツが存在するにも関わらず、Teamsのタスク機能からタスク管理を行えるようにしたいです。現状では、タスクの通知をメールで受け取り、BoxWebにアクセスして承認する必要がありますが、この機能を実装することで、通知の受け取りと承認を同時に行うことができ、業務効率を向上させることができます。

Have the Box Metadata Live with the file in in the XMP packet
Upon EXport of a file from Box all "Box" metadata should be appended to the XMP packet of Valid Formats under a Box Schema. For example, any image format should move with the associated metadata from one system to another if you have to export from box to a 3rd party dam you don't want to have to export all the metadata with it as a separate file - appending to the XMP would be very useful

File request link folder-level control
Enable file requests at a folder level to restrict internal-only folders vs. not. There are existing folder-level settings that can restrict external collaboration and what type of shared link can be crated, but the same ones don't exist for File Request links. It would be great to have the same feature parity between shared links and file request links when wanting to restrict access.

Option to not leave the data on the device
If the user presses the + button and selects "Take photos or videos" and encounters an upload error when uploading the photos or videos taken, those files are automatically saved in the device's library.
Since the data remaining on the device poses a security risk, you need an option to not leave the data on the device in the application settings.6 votes -

Allow file to be opened from web UI on double click.
I like that I can see the preview and other information on the file when I click on the name. However, I would prefer for the file to be opened when I double click on it, instead of having to click and then having to go and click on another menu to open in Microsoft Word. It would be great to have the ability to single-click to view the details, as it is now, and double-click to automatically open a file in Microsoft Word.
