  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    • Even if you open the saved CSV file in Notepad, it…

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

  6. 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.

  7. 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。

  8. Error Message

    I keep getting an error message "Unable to open folder" but it's not for any folders that I am trying to access. It doesn't happen all the time but at random times and on random days?

  9. Hyperlink # discarded

    The hyperlinks in the PPT cannot be parsed properly, and the parameters after # will be discarded. I hope this can be improved

  10. Extending the Attach files as shared links functionality to Box for Outlook mobile

    Per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195733-Understanding-Box-and-Outlook-Integration-Options, the Box for Outlook integration only supports attaching files as shared links on desktop. Requesting that this functionality extends to iOS and Android.

  13. Should be able to share files with non Box users and they don't have to login/create a Box account.

    Why can non Box users not edit files without creating a log in. Is there a way that this can be done? I feel like they had this feature before when if you shared the file with the correct permissions folks could just open, edit the file and the changes would be saved.

  14. 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.

  17. use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)

    Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.

    Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

  19. data loss in mobile applications

    Box is currently unable to save any new files directly from office mobile applications to Box fileserver locations, and the files disappear into the void when attempting to do so. After a few wasted hours of troubleshooting Senior Box Support indicated this is a result from a lack of support for mobile co-authoring functionality. An error message at the absolute bare minimum to instruct users to only save data locally would be the expectation when a file cannot be saved before data loss occurs.

  20. launching office pop up box

    Can you add an option to tick a box 'do not show this again' for the launching office pop up. I have to shut this so many times a day and it's totally pointless for a regular user.
