  1. Improvement of search within the trash

    We want to search the contents of the Trash in the Search window, as before.
    In the new UI, we need to open the search panel first to specify the trash as a destination.
    This is inconvenient, and we would like it to be improved as before.

    以前と同じように、検索ウインドウでごみ箱内を検索したい。
    新UIでは、まず検索パネルを開いてごみ箱を検索先に指定する必要があります。
    これは不便なので、以前のように改善してほしい。

  2. Ability to Add Columns to Document View

    We would like the ability for end users to add columns (Created By, Created Date, specific metadata fields, etc.) to their document views based on what is relevant to their work.

  3. Search Function is Horrible

    The search function on box is just atrocious and never returns any of the documents or folders im actually looking for. I type in a very specific key word and i either get no results found or a list of a seemingly random selection of docs that are far off from what I'm looking for. Trying to get even more granular just makes the search function perform worse!

  4. Share this link. Box.com's aggressive marketing misleads our customers.

    Hello Box!

    Unfortunately, we cannot fully use your product due to your company's aggressive marketing, which misleads external users.

    The problem lies in the implementation of sharing public links to files or folders with external users:

    1. When an external user opens the link, they see a pop-up message from Box in a green field (as shown in screenshot 1): "Log in to Box to save all files you view in your Recents and return to them at any".

    If our client does not click the small white cross on the right to close this message, they are redirected to the…

  5. Notification pop up to be constrained to its bounding box

    The notification popup takes the entire width of the screen when it appears, stopping you from clicking the search box, this really needs to be constrained to the bounding box of the notification itself, rather than taking the entire width.

  6. Disable new drag and drop clouds security feature

    The new drag and drop cloud game to view a file is horrible. The reason we went with BOX was to present our materials professionally with a visually attractive preview. We can't send files with a drag and drop security game to our clients. Please provide an option to disable that.

  7. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  8. Enhance error messages when storage exceeded to identify which account is over storage

    When a user uploads an item to a folder that would exceed the quota, it says "Account storage limit reached." This is misleading if the folder is owned by another user. Users ask for more quota, but it's a different account that has the problem. Please identify the folder owner of the folder that's over quota in the error message.

    This applies both to Web UI and Box Drive error messages.

  9. i want to know when my folder copy is completed

    i suggest adding a progress bar of some kind for lengthy operations so that you know when you might able to continue working on deleting a folder after said operation.

  10. Gallery

    I share albums of photos which are hosted in a box folder. It would be great if the page that I share could look like a very nice gallery layout similar to a Google photos album where some photos are bigger and some are smaller. Rather than the UI of a grid layout with filename. To have an option to to view like this when sharing

  11. Shortcut Function for Instant Bookmark Creation

    I suggest the implementation of a "Shortcut Function" for immediate bookmark creation when issuing a shared link. Here's how it would work:

    Procedure: Right-click on the file or folder intended for bookmarking.
    Functionality: A new bookmark (file) is instantly generated and stored in the same folder.
    Result: A shared link is automatically associated with the targeted file or folder, with default access permissions.

    The generated bookmark can be easily moved or duplicated to necessary folders, serving as a centralized shortcut for convenient access to the targeted file or folder.
    This addition would significantly enhance user efficiency and contribute to a…

  12. Notify Box app users to refresh for latest updates on Content Preview and Content Explorer UI elements

    Currently, when Box app users access files through the Content Explorer and the Content Preview UI elements, there is no visible indication that one or more files have been updated simultaneously by managed users.
    As a result, users may not be aware of the latest changes or modifications made to the files.

    To ensure that app users benefit from new updates, I kindly request the implementation of a notification message within the Content Preview and Comtent Explorer elements. This notification message would dynamically appear whenever one or more files have been updated, prompting app users to refresh their page to…

  13. Change the file lock icon back to red

    After the Shield File and Folder Badges update, the file lock icon changed from red to grey.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/9790388093075-File-and-Folder-Badges

    It is harder to see now so it would be great if you can change it back to red.

  14. Shortcut for file locking

    When you open a file and click the "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" message can we have some simple click boxes showing the lock time options rather than a drop menu, this would solve the problem where the application opens before you get chance to lock the file..

  15. Pre-Selecting item on new list view & grid view

    Previousely list view was shown information in the right pane by ジュst only selecting an item with the cursor like a Stepping stone.
    You can't do that with the new UI.
    Check >shown > Uncheck >move next item> Check next >shown>Uncheck....and more...
    it's not speedy action.
    We know that pre-selected items by cusor↓↑key, move to checkbox using tab key then enter key, then check each item.

    But need keyboard shortcuts easier.

    Like a round robbin.

  16. Organizing Shared folders. Can't rely on collaborators to do it.

    It would be very helpful if I could move shared folders into a "folder" (choose your term for some thing that would mimic a folder) that would allow me to group all shared folders together. Ideally, I would be able to create my own hierarchy within that folder to be able to organize all of the shared folders how I want vs. just having every shared folder cluttering up my Box root level. I know I can use Collections, however, Collections don't show up in Box Drive.

  17. The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder

    The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder.

    Same functionality Instagram lets me do with photos.

  19. Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience

    Ability to right click a folder/file and select "Open Link in a New Tab" … same exact UI as web browser experience.

    Today I can open an individual file in a new browser tab by pressing [Command + Click], but it is not intuitive.

  20. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.
