  1. Date and Time of uploading file on BOX

    Hi! I was faced with the problem of file date uploading on display on BOX.

    I know that usually, BOX shows "Today" or "Yesterday" if the file was uploaded to BOX today or yesterday. It's clear, but, I need to see the exact date displayed with numbers. For example, I want to see that the file was uploaded to BOX "18 of May, 2022" instead of "Today".

    Moreover, I even can't see the time when the file was uploaded to BOX. I work with the client in different time zones (the difference is 10 hrs) and sometimes it is really…

  2. Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"

    To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.

    Thank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

  3. Need warning message when different filename/extension is uploaded using "Upload New Version"

    User can upload a new version with different filename/extension from the current version using "Upload New Version" feature. User should be prompted when this happens as this is often the user error.

  5. Re-Size left Navigation Bar

    Currently if favourites have long file names, the display is cut off. Having the ability to resize the left navigation pane/panel would increase usability.

  6. Add ability to manage tags

    Admins need a way to mass edit tags. Sometimes people misspell tags when they're adding them, or sometimes an entire tag itself needs to change completely, and everything that has that tag should be updated. (Check out how Zenhub handles tags for inspiration!)

  7. remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and sending specific instructions on folder use

    remove the character limit on invite messages. the message portion is vital my account and we need to sending specific instructions on folder use and access. this is best when included with the link to the folder as sent by box. ALSO there is nowhere on the site or in the share section that even states there is now a character limit, instead it's just kicking back the invite and preventing it from being sent.

  8. Disable Folder Rename capability

    I would like to have a Folder properties setting to disable Folder Rename (even for Editors).

    I was testing setting up departmental folders to replicate our group file server. I want all members of the department to be able to add/remove/delete files in their folder. I was able to do that by assigning them the editor role, but that allows them to change the root level folder name. Is there a way to prevent that?

    For instance, I create folders for accounting, finance, etc. I want those folders to keep the names I set and I do not want the…

    Interesting suggestion, but we’re not able to prioritize this given competing priorities.

  9. Eliminate "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page for provisioned accounts

    We feel that showing "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page is not appropriate page for provisioned account's
    that are manually created in Admin Console or that are auto provisioned from AD.
    If Admin create new accounts with Silent mode, the confirmation email is not sent.
    Therefor user needs to create password on "Reset password" page manually. This is OK.
    After creating the password and try to login with the created password, "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page
    is displayed. But confirmation email is not sent. The user needs to click "Resend Confirmation Email" to receive "Please complete your…

  10. Restrict assigning higher level permissions to external users

    we would like a control to restrict external users from having anything above a set permission level.

    It would also be great if we could review on one screen, external users to see what permission levels is assigned

  12. Locking Folder Names

    We have systems integrating with folders on Box.com. These functions either provide workflow timestamps, or move files from folder to folder. In order for these integrations to work seamlessly, folders cannot be accidentally or purposely renamed.

  13. Export menu of the Access Statistics for non-administrators

    【Request】
    I would like you to make the access statistics export menu available to non-administrative users.
    I think this can be achieved by allowing the user to select the destination folder after clicking the export menu.

    【Current status and issues】
    Currently, only co-administrators or administrators who have the authority to output reports can export access statistics.
    General users other than administrators can check the access statistics, but cannot export them to a file.

    The PR department has voiced the desire to export access statistics to a file.
    However, we do not want to give them co-administrator privileges because of the…

  14. Support Drag & Drop from Box Web App to Outlook

    Please enable the ability to drag and drop files FROM Box Web App TO Outlook email client (including the option to insert them as links OR to add them as normal attachments). Currently there is no native Drag and Drop functionality available between the Box Web App and Outlook. Therefore, the process to add file attachments/links to emails via the Web App or Outlook Plug-In is actually currently LESS efficient with BOX than without it. Since BOX Drive is not available for virtual clients (such as Terminal Server or Citrix), their only option is to use the Web App or…

  15. viewer uploader edit file name

    Would like to explore a custom permission level - between Viewer-Uploader and Editor, which would have all of the Viewer-Uploader rights, as well as the ability to "Edit File Name".

    The use case for this is the following - some users upload documents to a folder, but then need to be able to rename the documents. Renaming the documents before upload isn't an option due to specific workflow constraints. Giving Editor permission is not an option as there's been negative experiences with users accidentally moving or deleting customer folders.

    Thanks

    An external indicator exists today as part of the External Access Indicators release via the details sidebar of a folder.

  17. Ability to set file sorting preferences

    Save/set file sort preferences. E.g., by "name, ascending." Set different sort preferences for different folders + universal sort preference setting.

  18. Preview support for .MXF files

    MXF is an industry-standard file format for video and audio. MXF files contain information about the media inside (metadata). This file type is commonly used by marketing teams for video content. Requesting previewing support on Box Web App for .MXF files to allow easy external collaboration on this content.

  19. I would like to see BoxWeb implement a function to sort files by extension.

    The current BoxWeb does not allow sorting by file extension.
    However, in some fields, a large number of photos and videos are often taken for measurement and development work, and many types of files are miscellaneously stored in a single folder.

    For example, when searching for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...) For example, if you are looking for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...), you can search for them by file name, but you may also want to check them by file extension.

    We currently use a method of dividing files into categories by file type, such as blocks of image files, blocks of video…

  20. I want to select multiple users from the collaborator list and delete all the collaborators at once.

    I would like to add the ability to select multiple users from the collaborators list and delete collaborations in bulk.

    Currently, in the Box folder, you need to select the permissions of each user from the collaborators list and select one user at a time.
    Example: Editor → Delete

    This takes a lot of time when there are a lot of users, so we need a function to delete them all at once.

    If there are a lot of department transfers within the company, the folder administrator has to do this every month for security reasons for each user.

    If…
