  1. Function to disable the display of the login authentication screen for Box for Microsoft Office co-editing features on a per-user basis.

    The following is a request regarding the seamless login feature.
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    To avoid displaying the login authentication screen, we understand that enabling the co-editing feature for only certain users in the tenant settings will resolve the issue.
    However, if the number of users enabling or disabling the co-editing feature increases, managing user and group additions or removals through tenant settings each time becomes extremely cumbersome and impractical.
    Implementing this feature enables end users to handle issues immediately on their own, reducing the burden on administrators.

    下記シームレスログイン機能に関する要望です。
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    ログイン認証画面を表示させないためには、テナント設定で一部のユーザーにのみ共同編集機能を有効にすれば回避できると認識しています。
    但し、共同編集機能を有効/無効にするユーザーが増えたりした場合に都度テナント設定からの制限ではユーザーやグループの出し入れ等の操作が非常に手間となり現実的ではありません。
    本機能を実装することでエンドユーザー自身で即時に対応できるようになり管理者の負担を減らすことができます。

  2. The locking feature in Box for Microsoft Office

    Collaborative editing is convenient, but there is a need to prevent others from making edits while someone is making important changes. In Box for Microsoft Office, I would like a feature that allows me to explicitly lock a document while I am editing it, in order to prevent editing conflicts or unintended overwrites by other users during collaborative editing.

    共同編集は便利ですが、誰かが重要な修正をしている間は他の人の編集を防ぎたいというニーズがあります。
    Box for MicrosftOfficeで共同編集中に、他のユーザーによる編集競合や意図しない上書きを防ぐため、自分が編集しているときは明示的にロックできる機能が欲しいです。

  3. Do not display add-ins that are hidden in the Microsoft tenant settings

    Although we have set the Add-ins button to be hidden in the Microsoft 365 admin center, this setting is not reflected when opening Office Online via Box, and users are still able to add add-ins.
    If users add add-ins that administrators are not aware of, there is a possibility that we may not be able to respond to any issues or security problems that may arise as a result.
    We request either that the settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center be applied to Box, or that Box provide an option to hide the Add-ins button in Office Online.

  4. Box for Office and co-authoring

    Co-authoring and Box for Office each create "places" in Office applications, which is confusing to the end user. Per Box Support, files opened via the Box For Office integration cannot be co-authored.

    The Box for Office integration includes Office ribbon icons, more intuitive file open/save workflows, and has been part of the Box integration environment for years. Consider either improving the UI of the "Place" created by the co-authoring integration or allowing co-authoring on content opened via the Box for Office integration.

  5. Python in Excel while stored on Box

    I would like to be able to use Microsoft Excel's new implementation of Python.

    I have been told that Python in Excel can only be used on content stored in "secure container[s] on the Microsoft Cloud", such as OneDrive, Azure, Sharepoint, and other Microsoft proprietary resources.

    Can Box work with Microsoft to support this feature?

  6. Unable to open the Online MS Office Excel Add-in selector window.

    When attempting to open an Excel Add-in, the Add-in pop-up window sometimes does not appear, or when loading the add-in, this error message is displayed:
    "We couldn't connect to the 'Office Store' catalog server for this add-in."

    The add-in use to load fine, until recently, and still loads ok using the offline Excel.

  7. Enable support for Python in Excel with Box co-authoring enabled

    We would like to use the new Python in Excel feature while collaborating on Excel files stored in Box with co-authoring enabled. Currently, this combination is not supported, which limits our ability to leverage advanced data analysis and automation in collaborative environments.

    Please consider enabling compatibility between Python in Excel and Box's co-authoring functionality. This would greatly enhance productivity and data-driven collaboration for teams using both Microsoft 365 and Box.

    日本語訳
    Boxに保存されたExcelファイルを共同編集しながら、Excelの新機能「Python in Excel」を使いたいと考えています。
    現在、この組み合わせはサポートされておらず、高度なデータ分析や自動化を共同作業環境で活用することができません。

    Microsoft 365とBoxの両方を利用しているチームにとって、Python in ExcelとBoxの共同編集機能の互換性が実現されれば、生産性とデータ駆動型のコラボレーションが大きく向上すると思います。ぜひ対応をご検討ください。

  8. Allow users to search by folder ID or URL from the save destination selection screen via Box for Office

    When saving directly to Box from Office files (Excel, etc.), we use the search function to narrow down the destination folder from the “Save to Box” screen.
    Currently, you can search by folder/file name, but if there are folders with the same name, it is often difficult to distinguish between them immediately.
    In order to avoid this problem, making it possible to search by folder/file ID or URL will improve convenience by allowing users to search only specific folders/files.

    Officeファイル上(Excel等)から直接Boxに保存する際に、「Boxに保存」画面から保存先フォルダを絞るために検索機能を利用しています。
    現在、フォルダ/ファイル名で検索可能となりますが同じ名称のフォルダが存在する場合、直ぐに見分けが付かないことが多々あります。
    この問題を回避するためにもフォルダ/ファイルIDやURLで検索可能となれば、特定のフォルダ/ファイルのみ検索HITするため利便性の向上に繋がります。

  9. Add the Open icon to the Box Ribbon

    Currently, the Box icons on the Ribbon are Share and Upload, which is useful. But I have to go to File / Open / Box, then click an icon (which looks like it belongs on the ribbon!) to get the file open browser. Can this icon be added to the ribbon?

  10. The date format "YYYY/MM/DD" in a CSV file changes to "MM/DD/YYYY" when saved via Box for Office.

    If there is date data in the "YYYY/MM/DD" format in a CSV file created in Excel, saving it via Box For Office forcibly converts it to the "MM/DD/YYYY" format.

    The reproduction steps are as follows:

    (1) Launch Excel and create a blank workbook.
    (2) Enter a date in the "YYYY/MM/DD" format in a cell.
    (3) Click "File" → "Save As."
    (4) Click "Browse Box" when saving.
    (5) Select any Box folder as the save destination, choose "CSV (Comma delimited)" as the "Save as type," and click the "Save" button.

  12. Support for Other Templates and Legacy File Formats

    Hi Team,

    We are looking for Box Drive and Box Web to support additional Word, Excel, and other office templates and file formats so we can save these into Box.

    Currently Box only supports a few modern formats like .docx and .xlsx for word and excel for example, but we are using several other templates and formats as you can see in the screenshot below.

    Please consider broader support for other types of files for office going forward.

    Thank you.

  13. Custom option to open shared link via Outlook

    I would like to be able to configure detailed settings for shared links in the Box app for Outlook. I believe that being able to set passwords and expiration dates for open links directly from Outlook would provide an even smoother sharing experience.

  14. Box for Microsoft Office co-authoring permissions per folder

    I propose the ability to change the setting for each folder regarding whether or not Box co-authorship is enabled.
    With the current Box for office co-authoring feature, all folders have the coauthoring feature turned on.
    I would like to have a switch so that some folders are on and some are off.

    Boxの共著の可否について、フォルダ毎に設定を変更する機能を提案します。
    現在のBox for officeの共著機能では、全てのフォルダが共著機能がオンになってしまいます。
    あるフォルダはオン、あるフォルダはオフというように、スイッチをつけてほしい。

  20. In Excel Preview - Ability to Sum up a total of a column

    Since we can already click on and highlight cells in an Excel file in Preview mode on Box, I would love the functionality of being able to highlight and get a Total (Sum) of cells that is displayed in Preview mode without having to Open or Download the file.
