  1. Add an option to disable/turn off hover link previews in Box Notes

    The current hover link preview UI in Box Notes is highly intrusive and significantly disrupts the writing and editing workflow.

    When moving the cursor around the document, these previews constantly flicker on and off. The biggest issue occurs when multiple hyperlinks are listed consecutively: the previews pop up and overlap with each other, completely blocking the subsequent text. Users are forced to make extra mouse movements or clicks just to dismiss them and read the text underneath.

    Since there is currently no way to turn this feature off, I would like to request the following improvements:

    A toggle switch to…

  2. Controlling the Visibility of External Collaboration Folders in Box Drive via Admin Settings

    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console.

    [Background]
    When using Box Drive, the following security risks exist:
    ・Risk of data leakage due to user error: Files or folders may be accidentally dragged and dropped into external collaboration folders.
    ・Risk of ransomware spreading to external tenants: If a user falls victim to ransomware, the encryption attack may also affect external collaboration folders belonging to other companies.

    [Details]
    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin…

  3. Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report

    It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".

    Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
    The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.

    If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it because it…

  4. Restore Client ID Visibility for Platform Apps

    A recent update to the Box UI moved all applications into the “Platform” section of the Admin Console. With this change, the ability to search by Client ID appears to have been removed, and only the application name or Box app owner is shown in the details view.

    For larger environments like ours, this will impact efficiency. We manage thousands of custom apps, and Client ID search has been a critical method for quickly searching, reviewing and approving or denying box custom app requests.

    This request is to restore Client ID visibility within the app details view or reintroduce Client…

  5. Show in Box Drive or Reveal in Finder from Box Web

    When I am looking at file in Box on a web browser, I want a button that takes me straight to the file in Box Drive/a macOS Finder window. We can already do that in the other direction (see attached, "View on Box.com"); it would be convenient to be able to do this in both directions. I don't know what the Windows equivalent is. Thanks for your consideration.

  6. Different sort options for different folders

    I would like the option to sort my home folder by "Last Accessed" and other folders by "Name". Currently we can only sort one way. Thank you.

  7. If we could toggle an Alpha Numeric sorting feature rather than the current system.

    As an institution that has thousands of photos that are already labeled by our current archive system, it would be incredibly helpful to have files be able to be sorted by an alpha-numeric approach. Such as, ST-A1, ST-A2, ST-A3, ST-A110 rather than ST-A1, ST-A110, ST-A2, ST-A3.

    I'm suggesting introducing a toggle or dropdown sorting option, as to not mess up current systems. I understand that adding a 0 in front of numbers is the suggested method, however that would not work in this case as it would change the item's ID system. It seems to me that sorting is one…

  9. API Endpoint to Manage Custom Apps

  11. Auto-Generated/System Generated Folder Creation via API

    Currently, if your enterprise settings have the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting as enabled, it also stops any root level folders appearing that are generated by Box, such as the "My Sign Requests folder"

    My understanding is that this folder's existence makes it so a user doesn't have to specify a folder for the sign request to go into. However, the lack of this folder existing makes it so that you do need to specify a folder for each request. We have many users who would prefer that all of their sign requests are present in the same folder, that leaves…

  12. Create request process to allow certain TLDs to make free accounts

    We need to share content with an external party with a .legal email domain
    However, this domain is not allowed to make a personal account
    As this is not our domain, we can't make it a managed domain

    This means we have to use a separate product or a more insecure method to share content with these users.

  13. I would like to be able to adjust the width of items and reorder them on the report status screen.

    When checking the report status screen, the author's name and report type are omitted, which is inconvenient. I would like it to allow changing the display width of items to make it easier to check. Also, I want a feature that lets you click on item names to sort items other than the last update date.

    タイトル:
    レポートステータス表示画面で、項目の幅変更や、項目並び替えを可能にしてほしい

    本文:
    レポートステータス表示画面を確認する際、作成者名やレポートの種類の表示が省略されてしまい不便です。
    確認をしやすくするために項目の表示幅を変更できるようにしてほしいです。
    また、更新日以外の項目で、項目名をクリックして並び替える機能も欲しいです。

  14. Automating Document Creation via Dynamic Table Generation with Forms & Doc Gen

    [Request]
    Enable Dynamic Table Generation When Creating Documents with Forms + Doc Gen

    [Customer Use Case]
    The headquarters IT department wants to automate the monthly task of issuing invoices for system usage fees to the group’s local subsidiaries.

    [Customer Needs]
    They want to implement the following workflow as a web-based solution without custom development.

    1. Enter invoice data per subsidiary via Forms
    2. Generate the invoice with Doc Gen
    3. Send a signature request to the manager via Box Sign
    4. After the manager signs, move the document to the shared folder with the local subsidiary

    At present, this could be achieved by using…

  16. image preview of a file when uploaded to forms

    We wanted to do a 'final asset quality approval' workflow utilising Box Forms... but because Forms doesn't have the capacity to show a small thumbnail image of what's been uploaded, and after a meeting with PM it doesn't sound like this is coming anytime soon, we are going to use Jotform instead and integrate it. It's a shame as it would've been a great e-advanced use case. Can we get image previews of assets uploaded to Box Forms?

  17. Redundant Shield alerts

    Box Shield should be able to recognize when the same file or file set appears in multiple locations and treat it as a single item, rather than generating duplicate alerts across each instance. This would allow users to acknowledge (or dismiss) an alert globally—once for all occurrences—rather than having to clear it separately for every flagged file.
