Add ability to set time for reminder notifications by each user or admin.
Currently assignee will receive reminder notification 24 hours before the due date of the assigned task. Users are receiving these reminders at mid of night and they want to receive them in daytime.
Box Relay can set the default due ("time to complete" option) like how many days and hours.
This default due is set automatically based on when the task is started. So for many cases, the reminder will be sent out because the task is started in daytime.But non-Relay task (General and Approval task) can set only due date from calendar picker, like "June 16". The due…

Knowledge Base
It would be amazing if there was a way to have something like box notes or an add on that would allow an article based knowledgebase within box. This would be so helpful for a company wide and public kb in the product that we are using day to day.

I want to use BOX instead of PPAP. PPAP is Japanese bad protocol name that file transfer with email.
Before, most Japanese company used PPAP to send files with email. PPAP is a jargon that protocol name in JAPAN. PPAP is an idea of "Sending crypted zip file with email and sending password of zip with next email".
Japanese company used the idea for security. But it didn't work well for security because of using same root sending crypted zip file and password.
So our Japanese company want to use BOX instead of PPAP. This idea is not collaborating function of BOX. The idea is "Sending files (or folder) URL of BOX to BOX users". When receiver want to…1 vote -
Copy file from relay should version the target, not create a new file
We have a release workflow, where documents are being copied to a shared environment after they have been approved. This works well for the first version of the document.
However, if we change the document and send it through the approval process again, Box creates a new document at the target area. Box does NOT create a new version of the existing document.
Since this process is really key to creating "Quality Managed" documentation, Box relay should offer to version an existing document. Defaulting to creating a new document, makes Box unusable for these kind of approvals.

Enhance the Box for DocuSign Integration in terms of metadata
We would like to put some information of DocuSign Envelope (such as contract data, term of contract, type of contract etc.) into Box metadata instance in an automated way. Currently, there's two ways users would be able to do are; 1. users manually populate metadata such as transaction amount in signed document or 2. using iPaaS (Workato) to automate populating metadata. No.1 is inefficient and time-consuming and has human-error risk. No.2 requires additional cost. This is actually required by Japanese local law when we save financial documents digitally. The law is called Denshi Chobo Hozon Hou. This becomes a huge…

Jump to the same path on Box Drive directly from Box Web
Like Dropbox app, we would like a capability to move directly from Box Web to Box Drive. The usecase behind this is that we want to edit a file from Box Drive not Box Edit but want to search on Box Web.

Please implement the function to restore the contents in the trash to a folder other than the original folder location.
Please implement the function to restore the contents in the trash to a folder other than the original folder location.
Currently, when restoring files/folders from the trash, it will be restored to the same folder as before the deletion.
If we accidentally delete a large number of items that we plan to move, it will take a considerable amount of time to restore and then move, and the items in the move process (delete / move / copy) will be temporarily locked, which will hinder our business.
We are confident that if we can select the restore location, which will…8 votes -
We are unable to respond when Geodetection alerts are triggered. Would greatly appreciate ability to prevent access.
We have had a # of Geodetection alerts from users with unexpected IP addresses accessing shared links. Currently, we are unable to block these users, so we can only remove files after the fact. Our security team is requesting an ability to prevent this access (potentially with an ability for admins to override and allow the access).

Add an option to create PDF/A docs from scans on iOS
The PDF/A format is archival. As we are scanning documents to save using the improved "Scan Document" function in Box, it would great if we could (either on the fly or as a static setting) choose to save PDF files as PDF/A.

Ability to send e-mails from Box Web UI when "Restrict collaboration to within <Enterprise name>" in folder setting are activated
Following enhancement was made at May 7th, 2021.
Collaboration Allowlist Enhancement
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008585062Customer are setting collaboration for internal only by folder setting.
In this state, shared link are used to share files with external users.But with the update above, we can no longer send shared links by email from Box Web UI.
Copying the shared link and sending a separate email is a workaround, but it doesn't get users to understand.
A growing number of users are confused by the clumsy error messages that appear when sending email, and some mistakenly believe that shared link wasn't created properly.We…

This morning I accidentally clicked on the Approve button rather than the Reject button, allowing an incomplete document to be submitted for approval

Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview
I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.
examples:
myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt
.json as .txt
.funky as .mdI say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

Automatic email response for file request submitter
Would like a feature whereby the person submitting files using Box File Request receives an automatic confirmation email with a customizable message. For example, after the submitter uploads files using the File Request web widget, that person gets a email to the effect of, "Thank you for contacting us. A team member will review your submittal and follow up within 24 hours." The person would be required to provide an email address but not required to have a Box account. Many of our external customers send us application materials using File Request, and then they contact us separately wanting to…
