Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files
Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.
Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file to…

When an email address is marked as undeliverable, show that status in the console
When your system marks an email address as undeliverable, there's currently no way to see that in the admin console. The Resend Invite button is available but the invite will never be sent because you're suppressing the address.
In an ideal world, we'd be able to see that and toggle the status, but even if we could just see the status it would save time.

Permission expansion - excluding folder management
I’d love a “File manager” permission that doesn’t include Folder management capabilities.
We have a large folder structure that I need to allow our users to have Editor permissions to for them to properly do their job. My issue is that it is CRITICAL that the folder structure doesn't change.2 votes -

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…

Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain
Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain.
We have a need to keep folder collaboration available to only a specific group of internal users but we would like to be able to have the ability to share files or folders with external collaborators in specific domains. Almost like another level of the "Invited People" type of link. Can this be considered as an enhancement?

Reporting on admin 'log in as' feature
For security reasons it would be useful for Box to be able to report on all admin activity, in particular when admins use the 'log in as' feature to view a user's files, so we can see a list of which users 'logged in as' which users and when, to ensure the feature is being used appropriately.

Move the location of Welcome to Box pop up
When I set the custom terms of service and a new user logs into Box for the first time, it is hidden by the "Welcome to Box" pop up. Could you please move the location of either one so that the new user can see the custom terms of service please?

Search Engine should run on the displayed dates rather than the API dates
Box's search queries do not go off of the same date displayed to end users in the WebApp. The Modified Date seen in the WebApp is different than the API field “modified_at” that the search tool goes off of. From a user’s viewpoint, the date is the date, so using two separate date fields for the same product is confusing to end users. This is a request to ensure both of these fields align.

Add iOS Shortcuts integration
Simply add iOS shortcuts integration like your competitor. Save to box, append to file in box function ecc would be a great feature. The only reason that I’m not using your great service is the missing of this integration.

Add configuration option to hide the right-hand sidebar automatically
When a file is opened, the right-hand sidebar is open by default. My preference is to have it closed, so I must close it each time. Please add a configuration option that would allow for users to set that sidebar closed at startup by default.
37 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Export all data belonging to a Custodian on Legal Hold
There is currently no way through Box to export all of a user's data for offline preservation and legal review. This workflow is necessary for the EDRM model, as the files may still be altered while under Legal Hold.

Relay：Users who have already been invited in a group will not be invited with "Invite assignees as Viewers/Editors"
[Background]
A new feature has been added to Relay called "Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors".
"Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors" are sent to users who have already been invited in the group.
This is confusing because additional invitations are carried out to users who have already been invited.
Furthermore, operationally, this requires the collaboration to be removed from the relevant file each time.
*As a company rule, we are not allowed to collaborate with individuals individually, except in groups to which they have been previously invited by Admin.[Request]
Users who have already been invited to a group should not be invited.…

Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously
Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously.
Even when the link is configured to "people with the link can edit," external collaborators are still required to log into both Box and Google Workspace in order to edit Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides via the Box integration, which is way too much friction and strongly discourages use.
I strongly recommend that we offer optionality. While highly security conscious departments (e.g. IT, InfoSec, HR, legal, finance) might require an audit history with details about who edited content, which requires people to login; conversely,…

Update m.box.com address for shared link previews on smartphones
Please change the specification so that it does not change to the m.box.com address when previewing the shared link from smartphone.
<Background>
・We want to share the preview screen easily to many unspecified users.
・But there are some shared links that can't be previewed on smartphone.
・The target shared link can be previewed successfully from the PC.
・The reason is that when you access the shared link from smartphone, the address is always changed to m.box.com.
・You can get around this problem by getting a free Box account (Individual) and installing Box for Mobile.
・However, this method requires some preparation…3 votes -
improve box drive file listing when navigating to a new folder
Currently as you navigate Box Drive and hit a new folder there can be a noticeable delay before the content listing of the folder is displayed and for that time (can be several seconds or more) the impression is left that the directory is empty. The user is left trying to determine if they need to wait or if there are actually no files or folders within the folder.
An improvement would to either maintain a local cache of the folder/file hierarchy and then download the actual file when it's selected for open. Or a predictive recursive tree query when…

Allow for native editing of video content in Box
This is a pretty difficult ask but one of my customer has to migrate their video content stored in Box into another cloud app that's focused on video editing. That's alot of content to move and my AE was wondering if we could be better positioned to help them if we offered the ability to do some editing of video in Box.

Open files from web app in Box client
Oftentimes our team shares the location of a file within Box by pasting a link into, e.g. Asana. Clicking that link opens the item in the Box web app. There's no way to open that location within the Box client on MacOS other than looking at the file path on the web, then manually browsing to that location in Finder. I'd like a link you can click from the web app that reveals the location of that file within Finder.
