Increase maximum image size for branding a File Request to above 1 MB
Upload limit for Box File Request Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is way too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.

Solution: Literally just copy how Google Forms does it...........

[File Request] cascade feature to allow granular uploading of files to a folder structure / subfolders.
[File Request] feature to allow uploading files to a folder structure / subfolders. The "Submit Files" page does not provide any context regarding the linked folder name without having to manually input this, and doesn't provide subfolders to allow the user to drill down and upload files into the subfolder of which they choose (with breadcrumbs of course to navigate back to the root folder share via the File Request URL. Currently users have to create a File Request per folder or invite users in to the parent folder as a "Previewer Uploader" in order to upload.
Alternatively, I'd just…

Add Support for .icon
It's been 17 years since Box came online. Isn't it about time stop nagging about Mac's .icon invisible files when we upload a custom folder?
Or at least NOT stop the uploading process just to nag me about that?
It's metadata.
Along with .TS_FOLDER they're part of the system. The end user has no control over that.
Please either offer support for .icon or ignore it.
Just don't keep nag about it for the next 17 years. Please.1 vote -
File Request URL Parameters
It would be awesome to be able to pre-populate the metadata fields via URL parameters. This is particularly useful when sending the request to clients and wanting to make it as easy as possible for them to upload their documents. Some other functions along with that which would be nice are.
- Pre-fill metadata (all metadata types) from URL parameters
- Disable metadata field when it is pre-filled by URL
- Hide metadata field when it is pre-filled
Thanks for the consideration.

Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request
A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

I want a function or API that can upload only the difference in order to synchronize the local folder and the Box folder.

Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads
Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.
a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.3 votes -

File upload restriction to ensure file name matches the folder name
We would like to store files in the correct folder for each customer.
What I want to say is that we have to accurately store files entrusted to us by our clients in the proper folders. However, this is done manually by a person, so it is possible to make a mistake but we are not allowed to make mistakes.Therefore, when storing files in a folder, we would like to establish a mechanism to block attempts to store files that do not match by having the file name and folder name match.
Is this possible? If this is not possible,…1 vote -
Universal and Individual Upload Pause and Throttle
Problem: I'm uploading a lot of relatively large files. The urgency for these is low, but it will take a long time to upload. During this time, I have smaller high priority files to send to a client for approval. However, uploading these smaller, but more important files using a different service is extremely slow. A 30 second upload becomes a 10-minute upload.
Solution: Have individualized pause buttons on each uploading item AS WELL AS a universal pause on uploads. Also, a throttle to limit it from using all of the bandwidth would be nice, too. Please also make this…

Ability to sort bookmarks with other files (e.g., alphabetically)
Please allow links/bookmarks within folders to be sorted (e.g., alphabetically) and not stuck to the end of the list. This would make it easier to find items that are dated; I, for example, have all my items dated, and it's super inconvenient to have the bookmarks located separately/out of order within my folders.

Upload DICOM images via File request
I was wondering if it would be possible to send someone a file request link and have them upload with the Ambra DICOM image tool directly instead of having them first upload the files then having to convert them manually after.

Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.
Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.
E.g. add more fields, enable option so the File Request does not have to all be completed all at once, enable a dashboard for sender and receiver to see completion progress on the full File Request, enable ability for creator of file request to approve items on the file request and mark them complete, enable ability for sender and receiver to edit the File Request retroactively after submissions.

Integration with Shutterfly: Ability to send photos of build progression to Shutterfly
I work for a swimming pool company. We are taking pictures as the pool is being built. Once the pool is completed, we would like to send 20 to 40 pictures, as a group, to Shutterfly to have them create a picture book for our customers.

Increase upload limit for files in a folder
For people like myself who have a large number of files that need to be categorized in appropriate folders it is imparative that I make uploading easy for my team members.
Box only allows 500 files per folder, which I understand is to prevent many files being lost at the same time, which I am thankful for.
BUT....
It would be great that during the upload process that box.com automatically created another folder to accommodate any files over the 500 mark.Don't you think?

Dynamic File Requests
The ability to utilize File Request to send dynamic file requests. We often request multiple files from our clients. These requests can be 25+ items. It would be beneficial to send a list of required information where the client (external user) could could upload the requested file and the file would retain the name of the item on the original list.
The ability for external users (those with the file request) to see what items on the request list have been fulfilled and which items are still outstanding would be ideal.
It would also be extremely helpful to be able…

Max_Upload_Size Field Needs a Box CLI Switch for User Record Updating
Each user now has the maxuploadsize field in their user record, which designates the largest single file size that a user can upload. This setting can be viewed in the user's profile in the WebUI and is set as an Enterprise level setting.
Just as the user's spaceamount (their quota) can be set via the Box CLI, using the --disk-space switch when updating a user's record, there is a need to be able to access a switch to set maxupload_size when updating individual user records via the Box CLI.
