Relay lite: allow admin to change the workflow owner
Box Relay creates a workflow (Folder creates a task that requests invoice processing and is used to manage outstanding tasks) that enables clerical employees to process invoices more efficiently. However, when the employee is transferred, the workflow that has been created is not transferred to the next person in charge. If a useful workflow can be managed as a company, not as an individual (Change the workflow owner for contact changes), it will be very useful for business efficiency.

Integrate Workshare Compare into BOX.
Workshare Compare is the legal industry standard program for marking one version of a document against a prior version. Microsoft Work includes similar functionality but most large law firms, many small law firms, and many corporate legal departments use Workshare Compare. Thank you.

Conditional fields on File Request form
It'd be great to be able to have conditional fields in the File Request form so that certain fields are only exposed depending on the answer in the field(s) above.

Autosave in Box Drive
I don't understand why this isn't already happening, but please create an Autosave function for Box Drive that saves content every few minutes automatically. This way, when your computer crashes and you were working on a file in Box Drive, you won't lose 6 hours of work just because you didn't hit the save button. Same as OneDrive- your competitor. Please see if you can make this update soon. Thank you.

Action Item Register
As a user of BOX I would like to be able to have one consolidated lists of all the action items that arise during meetings and I capture in the agenda template provided by Box. This way I can keep track of these action items in one place rather than having to open each agenda/meeting minutes document to list these in another location for tracking purposes.

provide a way to auto-check the 'Only one assignee is required to complete this task' checkbox
This is when you are adding approval tasks to a document. If you forget to check this, it can lead to everyone in a group having to go in and approve the document before it can be completed.

Make bulk user upload more robust and improve error notifications
I attempted to bulk-add ~250 users. This turned into a long run of whack-a-mole and required Box Product Support intervention because:
a) Rows that did not have errors were not processed
b) Rows that did have errors sometimes failed silently (sometimes perhaps caused by secondary email addresses or external email addresses)My net experience was getting not-particularly-actionable errors like this:
Because some of the information in the file you uploaded may have contained errors or conflicts, not all users were added to your Box account successfully.
Of the 221 users in the file you uploaded, 221 users were not added…

Do not delete option
Id like to be able to designate certain folders in Box Sync that could only be deleted by going to the server and not from a local Box Sync folder on the computer to avoid possible accidental deletion of important folders or files.

Allow me to stop Box Drive without hiding the Box contents
If I stop Box Drive (right click on the icon and choose exit), the Box folder disappears, even though I've marked all folders for available offline.
I sometimes am in a location with a very low data cap, and the costs for exceeding the quota are very steep. If I store a file in Box from another device, when my computer connects and Box Drive is running, then it will attempt to sync and download any files.
On my old Windows 10 computer, I didn't have this issue. The Box folder stayed around, and I could even add files to…

Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive
Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.

New Web UI and custom logo
In the old UI, you could use any logo in the top left corner of the screen.
We've been given the answer that the only place we can set a logo is in the top right corner of the screen with the new UI.
However, users are used to the logo being in the top left corner and would like to have the option to place it in the top left.21 votesThank you for your feedback!

Use of iPad’s Markup for annotating. Box’s implementation of annotations is poor.
iPads have a built in document markup function for annotating documents, it’s tragic that Box doesn’t permit this tool to function.
My current work around is to copy the file to my iPad then use Markup to annotate my document, then finally copy the annotated document back into Bix.

Ability to hide the name of the user who uploaded the document./資料をアップロードしたユーザーの名前を非表示にする機能
Please make it possible to hide the name of the user who uploaded the folder or file.
We would like to be able to customize each folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the name of the user who uploaded it.(In Japanese)

Please unify the order of folder names in the browser versions of Box and Explorer.
In Windows Explorer, symbols can be added to folder names to make them appear higher in the list.
For this reason, symbols are placed at the beginning of the names of frequently accessed folders for smooth access to the folders.However, in the browser version of Box, the rules for folder name order are different, causing confusion in operation.
Please unify the order of names in Explorer and in the browser version of Box.Windowsのエクスプローラーでは、フォルダ名に記号を付けて上位に表示させることができます。
そのため、頻繁にアクセスするフォルダ名の先頭に記号を付けることで、スムーズにアクセスできるようになっています。しかし、ブラウザ版のBoxでは、フォルダ名の並び順のルールが異なるため、操作に混乱が生じます。

Folder color and icon customization
Current UI, it is not easy to recognize which folder is important in visually.
If we can customize folder color and icon by importance, it is going to be easy to discriminate between folders and it is improve security.25 votes -
Open Box Drive in full screen mode
1 - Box Drive Icon on the Task Bar should Open the Box Drive Search Tool, not the Bod Drive Folder in Windows Explorer.
2 - The Box Drive application should open up on full-screen view, with the BOX Folders on the left (as in Windows Explorer) - With the Box Search Tool on the right. This will go a VERY LONG way to help new users to "get comfortable with" / transition to BOX!

Need to be able to clip articles from the web and save into Box.
The web clipper would need to be able to have various methods of clipping (full page, article, snippet..etc) similar to OneNote, Evernote, Google Keep. The capture would also need to retain the web address, date/time of capture. If there are images within the article, those would need to be flattened so that the images are retained vs becoming red Xs in the future.

Shared Link Unavailable Prompt
User believes that current 'shared link has been removed or is unavailable to you' page could be confusing to users that have access but are not logged in, and that the messaging should include a prompt to log in if user believes they have reached the page in error.

I am unable to email collaborators because there are more than 500 collaborators in the folder.
Need an option to be able to email collaborators in bulk, regardless of the number. The 500 limit is now forcing me to email collaborators individually.
