Visual indicator when Box Canvas user is just a viewer, not editor
When using Canvas as a viewer, the user may try to vote on the sticky notes, or try to locate the toolbar, and think that something is broken, when in reality they are looking for features available to editors only.
We should consider adding some visual indicator of the "view only" status e.g. a banner or a badge at the top, an icon over which a user can hover over to get more info, or an icon by the cursor arrow to indicate editing is disabled.

SSO Break Glass Account
I have a customer that recently let their SSO certificate expire and when they tried to fix the problem they were completely locked out of their account and were not able to go in and resolve it themselves. They went to support who was ultimately able to help them, but not before a LOT of escalations. The customer stated that other online systems offer a special "break glass" administrative account that when logging in to the system can bypass SSO to get into the account and resolve whatever issue that needs to be resolved. They are asking for a similar…

I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files
Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages■procedure
①Lock the target file
②Download the file and update it locally
③Upload updated files
④Unlock■demerit
Many steps and cumbersome
If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

Metadata additonal column
Adding metadata as an additional column into Box interface which is similar to Tags can help to check the status.
The User activity report should have option to pull the report for who add/edit status in the report and should have what the collaborators tried to add.
The user activity report should have ability to get the Tags Add/Edit from the report.

Add Box Sign as an option in MSFT Teams approval workflows.
In MSFT Teams there is an approval workflow which has e-signature as an outcome. Currently the only options are DocuSign or Adobe Sign and we would like to utilize Box Sign as the solution as opposed to DocuSign or Adobe Sign.

Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movies
Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movie in Box
Currently, when users preview movie files( .mov) in Box web app, sevearal issues happens depending on the files
Unable to read the preview screen
The preview stops suddenly in the middle of the movie file and unable to start again.
According to the support ticket, the risk to happen the above is likely to increase when the movie file is relatively high quality/ high resolution. Actually the issues happen when we preview movie files which is 8 minute-long and 13 GB/file. So temporal workaround is to tune it and make…

Progress Bar when uploading and restoring
Is there any progress bar or any visible information where we can know the progress of tasks being run? For example, I wanted to recover a 200gb folder. It took a long time to find the data that needed to be restored. This is a similar thing when uploading files onto Box onto the web app. There is a progress bar but when a user goes to a new page it disappears and it is still running in the background

Changing default columns view in File Explorer with Box Drive
When using Box Drive on Windows 10, and accessing through File Explorer, the default columns are set as: Name | Size | Item type | Date modified.
I would like to be able to change those default columns and their order.
Currently, File explorer has a functionality that allows the default column view to be changed for all folders (View tab > Options > "Change Folder and Search Options" > "View" tab > and select "Apply to Folders)
However, this functionality does not work for trying to change the default column view for folders viewed through Box Drive.

Remove the cautionary message at the bottom of file request page
At the bottom of file request link, the following message is displayed:
"Before submitting, please make sure that you trust this site, have the rights to the data and want to share this content to the owner of this file request.
Box Terms of Service|Box Privacy Notice"It does not seem professional at all. As we are paying to use the services, this should not be displayed. Okay if you want to advertise that its Box platform, leave the terms and privacy notice. If you are law firm etc, people are already cautious about sending files. the "advice" seems very…

Online-only applied recursively to mixed folder
It would be great if you could "online-only" a given folder when its contents within are a mix of partially online and offline.
My workflow often requires me to have individual files sporadically made available offline within folder structures, over weeks and months. Easy to lose track of what's locally stored and what's not.
I don't seem to have an option available to click on a given folder with partially offline / partially online files and just tell it to all become "online only" in a recursive manner.
On these types of partially synced folders, all I see is the…

Selective Bulk Trash Restoration
Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.
The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.
Example:
Files below a specific…16 votes -
