Split-View Markdown Editor (Edit + Preview Side-by-Side)
I would like to request a split-view editing experience for Markdown files (.md) in Box Web. Currently, users must toggle between the editor and the HTML preview separately, which makes it difficult to verify formatting while writing. The requested feature would display the Markdown editor and the rendered preview side-by-side simultaneously — similar to the experience being introduced in OneDrive/SharePoint (rolling out April 2026).
Why this is important:
Markdown is increasingly used for technical documentation, internal wikis, and README files stored in Box. The current toggle-based experience creates friction, especially for users who frequently write or review Markdown content directly…2 votes -

I would like to have more customizability options for Box File Request logo and banner.
We would like the ability to resize the square logo image field. We would also like to customize the top banner with a custom image, like the square logo image field.

File and Folder report include number of file versions
File and Folder report should include the number of versions associated with a file.
We routinely receive questions from Box users about which files have version history associated with them and how much storage that version history is consuming.
Today we need to open a case with Box Support to get this information but it would make this more self-service if the number of versions was included in the Admin File and Folder report.
Even better would be if users could pull a File and Folder report for their own account and have that report include the # of file…

Add User Groups as viewer to an Admin report
When generating a report (such as collaborations report), I'd like to be able to add a user group as viewer in addition to being able to add a user account. We have decentralized content management, and doing so would allow be to schedule a monthly collaborations report shared to a user group with the content admins. I can't do so for a user, as there is a risk the users changes role and would not anymore be authorized to access the report.

Feature Request: Flexible External Sharing Controls with Combined Allow/Block Logic (Box Shield)
Current Situation (As-Is)
Box Shield does not support applying multiple external collaboration restrictions on the same content.
As a result:When a folder is classified with an allow-list policy, sharing externally is restricted only to explicitly approved email addresses managed in shield list.
This overrides the broader domain-based sharing rules, preventing sharing with otherwise permitted external domain.Example impact:
A folder with classification cannot be shared with regular external users from allowed domains, unless they are explicitly included in the allow list.
Current workaround:
Admins must manually maintain allow-lists (emails) for the classified folder.
Problem
Lack of flexibility in combining…

Font selection for canvas text
Box Canvas already provides a solid text formatting toolbar - bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight, alignment, and lists are all supported. However, there is no way to change the font, leaving users locked into a single default typeface across the entire canvas.
For teams using Box Canvas for presentations, client-facing outputs, or brand-aligned workshops, this is a significant limitation. Font choice is a basic expression of brand identity and visual hierarchy - two things that matter the moment a canvas leaves an internal team and faces an external audience.
Every comparable tool - Miro, Figma, FigJam, Lucidspark - offers font…

Middle-click pan in mouse navigation mode
Box Canvas already handles this correctly for trackpad users - in trackpad mode ("Swipe two fingers to pan"), a two-finger swipe pans the canvas regardless of which tool is active. Mouse users don't have the same experience.
In mouse navigation mode, middle-click is a duplicate of left-click across all tools and scenarios. There is no way to pan while the Select tool is active without first switching to the Hand tool, breaking the editing flow on large canvases.
This has been raised in a related request (Explain navigation mode https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/46235944-explain-navigation-mode), but the core behaviour gap deserves its own focused…

Object-level comments on Canvas items
Box Canvas doesn't support commenting directly on individual objects - sticky notes, shapes, frames, etc. Every other major canvas tool (Miro, FigJoy, Lucidspark) offers this as standard.
Without it, collaborators are forced to describe where something is rather than what they mean - "the green sticky in the top-right frame" instead of just tagging the object and leaving the instruction. This adds ambiguity, slows async collaboration, and creates unnecessary back-and-forth.
The ask:
Allow users to anchor comments directly to canvas objects, so feedback and instructions are always tied to the right context - regardless of who's viewing the canvas or…1 vote -
When selecting multiple files to move or copy, the delete icon is too close to the move/copy icon.
When users select multiple files to move or copy, the delete icon is positioned too close to the move/copy icon, which may lead to accidental clicks. Please consider moving the delete button to a more appropriate location or making it visually distinct, such as changing only the delete button to red.
複数のファイルを選択して移動/コピーをする際、削除アイコンが移動/コピーアイコンに近すぎます。
複数のファイルを選択して移動/コピーする場合、削除アイコンが移動/コピーに近すぎるため、誤ってクリックしてしまう可能性があります。削除ボタンを他の適切な場所に移すか、削除ボタンだけ赤にするなど違いを明確にしてほしいです。

New Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files): Improve Explorer UX during startup/connecting to avoid unstable/incorrect folder state
Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)
When Windows starts, the new Box Drive (Cloud Files architecture) auto-connects. During this “connecting/initializing” period, the Box Drive folder becomes visible in File Explorer even though Box Drive is not fully running/ready. The folder view is unstable: some items show missing icons/status, and opening folders can result in errors. This happens consistently across multiple users in our pilot.
This behavior may be aligned with the feature “Box Drive folders remain accessible even when the Box Drive application is not running,” but exposing a partially-initialized state causes confusion and support tickets (users think…4 votes -
Box MCP Connector: Add Binary File Upload Support (.xlsx, .pptx, .docx)
The Problem
The Box MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector, used to integrate Box with AI platforms like Claude (Anthropic), currently supports only plain-text file uploads. The uploadfile and uploadfileversion tools accept text-only content and support a limited set of extensions: txt, md, csv, html, json, and a few others.
Binary file formats — specifically .xlsx, .pptx, and .docx — cannot be uploaded through the MCP connector. The connector's own documentation references a getupload_url path for binary uploads, but that method is not exposed as a callable tool in the current implementation.Why This Matters

Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Subject: Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Hello Box Support,
I am using the official Box integration within ChatGPT. The integration can currently list my files, create folders, upload files, rename items, and inspect permissions. However, it does not provide an action for moving an existing file or folder to another Box folder.
For example, I asked ChatGPT to:
- Create a folder named
! - Move the files and folders in my Box root directory into that folder
ChatGPT successfully created the folder, but it could not move the existing items because the Box integration…

Default agent for hub
I want to be able to create a custom agent and set it as the default agent for a hub. The idea is that if I want a hub to return a consistent result every time someone searches it, I can build an agent that provides that experience and have that agent automatically selected as the hub’s default. I do not want users to have to choose which agent to use.

Real-time visibility of whether a user has external collaborations ユーザーが外部コラボレーションを行っているかをリアルタイムで確認する機能
・Problem Statement / 課題
In the legacy Content Manager, an admin could see — in real time — that a managed user had a folder collaborated with an external party, along with the owner name. This was used as a pre-check before deleting/offboarding the user. The new Content Manager no longer surfaces external folders, so this real-time check is no longer possible through the UI.
レガシーContent Managerでは、管理者は対象ユーザーが外部とコラボレーションしているフォルダの存在と所有者名を、リアルタイムで確認できました。これはユーザーの削除/オフボーディング前の事前チェックとして使われていました。新Content Managerでは外部フォルダが表示されなくなったため、このリアルタイム確認がUI上で行えなくなっています。
Note: This request is not specifically about Content Manager. The legacy CM simply happened to be where this was possible. We are requesting the capability (real-time admin-side visibility of a user's external…1 vote -

Delete User App Authorization
It would be nice to delete User App Authorization from the Admin Console. While Server App Authorization can be deleted by contacting support, User App Auth cannot.
Disabling auth is a good temporary workaround, but when there are many user app auths it can get cluttered and difficult to manage.
