Make Box Shuttle available to Business Plan Co-admins
Please make Box Shuttle available to co-admins with Business plans. Currently it is only available to co-admins with Business Plus or higher. It is quite common for consultants to have the co-admin role rather than admin when working with clients.

Allow admins and folder owners to control visibility of the "Email All" button
We would like the ability to control the visibility of the "Email All" button at both the Enterprise level and the folder level.
Proposed behavior:
Enterprise admins can enable or disable the "Email All" button globally via the Admin Console.
At the folder level, co-owners and above (including owners) can toggle the visibility of the button for that specific folder.
Why this matters:In our organization, senior executives are often added as collaborators on folders. The "Email All" button makes it easy for any collaborator to send a message to all members of a folder — including those executives — which…1 vote -

I am a fan of central management of users. One feature is the admin's ability to create password for the accounts.
As long as I have known box, there should be a feature that allows the admin of the company account. to create users and assign their passwords. This is a key factor in central management and control. It is almost a red flag for me, on implenetation.

Add "Open in New Tab" toggle for Link URL for "Help Instructions and Footer Text" and "Support Contact Information"
It would be helpful if there was a toggle that controlled the behavior when clicking on a Link URL for "Help Instructions and Footer Text" or "Support Contact Information" if you wanted to link to an Intranet Webpage. With this control, you could set these links to open in a new tab instead of the current tab.
Neither of the Link URL allow HTML code and I understand why, but it would certainly avoid some headaches for users who can never remember to hold CTRL when clicking on a link (as well as IT who receive complaints about the page…

Additional Sorting Options for Managed Users in Users & Groups
I would like to request the addition of more sorting options for Managed Users in the Users & Groups console.
Currently, sorting is limited to Name, Email, and Storage Used.
It would be extremely helpful to include the following:
Sort by Last Activity
Enables identification of users who have never accessed Box or who are inactive.
Helps admins determine which accounts can potentially be cleaned up or require follow‑up.Sort by Status
Allows quick visibility into which users are disabled in Box.
Supports faster lifecycle management and removal of stale or unused accounts.
While this information is available through reports,…

Retention policies should lift automatically even if disposition action is set to "none"
Retention policies should be lifted automatically at the end of the retention period. Currently, if the disposition action is set to "none" the folder will not be released from the policy even though the folder will be able to be deleted. This is very confusing and requires manual work on the admin's part to determine if the retention period is up on a folder and if it is able to be deleted.
Alternately, build retention as a trigger into Relay/Workflows as mentioned in a different idea so that the Relay can automatically take the folder out of retention when…

Custom Shared Link Control by User Type
Admin ability to set global shared link settings by user type - such as no ability for a managed user to set a shared link to "anyone with the link" -- but admins and/or co-admins could set a shared link to be public (in the case of surfacing documentation externally). This could look like, under "Default access for shared links" setting in Admin Console, a new dropdown to allow for an override for co-admins or above, OR the ability to add specific users to an allowlist.

Notify Owners and Co-Owner on colaborators expiry
It seems that today only the colaborators are infomed prior to colaborator expiry. From my poinbt of view it would be important, that both Owners and Co-Owners receive the expiry information too. I our setup Box system users own all level 0 shared folders, so Co-Owners would be required to receive the notifications as well.

Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support
I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests,…

Ability to change delete and transfer folder description
Currently, after a user is deleted and their content is transferred, the folder their content is transferred to has a Folder Description that reads: "This folder contains files previously owned by <user>, and were transferred to you by your enterprise administrator. If you have any questions, please contact <Name and Email Address of Enterprise Admin>."
Since many large customers don't have a single user monitoring the enterprise Admin email, it would make more sense for them to be able to edit this description to include their internal support helpdesk email alias instead of the primary admin

Allow Device Pinning for web
Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-PinningHowever, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
https://app.box.com/master/settings/devicesUsing sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

Give the Box Admin the ability to clone (mirror) an existing user's access when adding a new user to Box.
The goal is to streamline user provisioning by allowing Box Admins to replicate the permissions and folder access of an existing user when creating and adding a new user to Box.
This eliminates manual steps and ensures consistency in access control.
Why It’s Valuable?
Efficiency: Admins often need to onboard users with similar roles or responsibilities. Instead of manually assigning folders and permissions, cloning saves time.
Consistency: Reduces human error by ensuring the new user has identical access as the reference user.
Scalability: Ideal for large organizations where teams share common folder structures.

Add specific error message for managed users whose domain is owned by another tenant
When an admin attempts to add a managed user whose email domain is already registered to another tenant, the system should display a specific error message explaining the reason.
Currently, the error message only states “1 user cannot be added,” which provides no context and makes it difficult for admins to understand what went wrong or how to resolve the issue.
