Restructure API endpoints to only use one base URL
We're currently pushing documents from a different system through your APIs using an integration platform.
Here we are uploading files and then assigning metadata templates to them for later use in searches and checking for versions, etc.The integration platform vendor is taking pay through every baseline URL we add to the system as a connector and then allowing us to basically have as many connections to the same system as we want using that base URL. This is relevant to our challenge.
When utilizing the Box API, the base URL (based on the documentation I've found) for uploading documents…

Multiple IDP Support for Login
While Box Supports Multiple IDP connections to a single tenant, it is not possible without the tenant to provide a landing page for login. This is something that multiple other providers already support, and asking the customer to supply their own login page to access Box from multiple IDPs hurts both Box and the customer.
This hurts Box because instead of creating managed and secure users, I now need to juggle 3rd party users and treat them as guests rather than full users. ($)
This hurts customers by not allowing us to administer policies easily for end users as a…

"search filter" "folder location" unselecting parent still requires to unselect all subfolders
Asume, when running a search and selecting File Type "Folders" and an "owner", the search results delivers thousands of folders.
Now I want to use the filter option to exclude a parent folder which I know has several hundred subfolders, but unselecting the parent folder does require me to sunselect all the subfolders inside of the parent folder one by one...
This is not practical and unselecting a parent folder should also exclude all subfolders from that parent.
Actually I had never seen it the way it is implemented in Box...4 votes -
Ability to tag groups
I want a function like Teams' "tag".
Currently, only individuals can mention comments in the data saved in the box,
I would like to be able to mention in groups.
Can't you make better use of groups in your management console?
One of the features of box is that multiple people can edit the same data at the same time, and there are also convenient functions such as comment fields and mention functions.
Please consider further improving usability.Teamsの「タグ」のような機能が欲しい。
現状、box内に保存したデータ内のコメントにメンションできるのは個人だけだが、
グループでメンションをできるようにしてほしい。
管理コンソールのグループを上手く活用できないでしょうか?
boxには一つのデータを複数人同時編集が可能という特徴があり、コメント欄とメンション機能という便利な機能もあります。

preview for .skp (SketchUp)

Allow users to set Sort Preferences
Users should be able to save default sort preferences.
Currently I see "Least Recently Updated" documents first, which is never helpful.
I have to manually re-set the sort preference in every folder I work in.12 votes -
Ability to schedule Platform Activity Report
Ability to schedule Platform Activity Report so that admin can monitor API usage on a regular basis. Additional filters for that report in the console will also be helpful. At the moment, admin has to open the report in Excel and do manual filtering.

Remove an invited collaborator's access on a per folder level
There are use cases where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to remove an (external) collaborator's access to a folder on a specific date. Understanding that this can be configured at a global level (by setting timeframe), it would be helpful to have this on a per folder level as well.
This would be beneficial as various departments/users share data of varying sensitivity and in various use cases (such as sharing with an external contractor whose contract is for X months).

Box Legal Hold Export API
The current Box Legal Hold Exports function becomes difficult to manage at scale. The export process itself generates "batch" zip files that need to be manually downloaded via the user interface. Because the zip files are limited to 5,000 files or aprox 16 GB, I have one user to export who has over 500 "batch" zip files to download. The API does not support directly downloading these batch files. A way to bulk download or programmatically download these batch files is essential when exporting a very large (either in pure storage size or in number of files) user hold.

Reporting Tools for Box Relay and Box Canvas Via Console and API/SDK

Folders and Files reports - exclude filename
Provide the ability to exclude filename from "Folders and Files" reports. We would like to be able to exclude this field since it may contain sensitive data. This is currently a field that is not able to be excluded. If there is a required field we would prefer if to be File ID. This is important since we would like to be able to perform usage analysis but do not want to provide sensitive data (even metadata) to our data analysts.

Create Relay for User Onboarding/Offboarding
I don't see Relay as a category option.....
Note, my users aren't owners of their data. They are only editors.
I have Azure AD user provisioning enabled to create and update users. As part of the user onboarding process, I would like for Relay to be able to see when:
a user has been created > create a personal folder for that user in a business unit related directory > share folder with user
a user has been disabled > move personal folder to an archived folder directory (related to their business unit)

Create Relay to Connect to Users Table
The only way to view the number of user licenses consumed is to view the Insights in the Admin Console. Unless you look there, there's no visibility. When I approach my purchased license limit, I would like to build a Relay that can tap into the users table to monitor the number of licenses then alert me when that limit is approaching.

Enable linking of Google slides and spreadsheets between Google slide presentations and spreadsheet workbooks so source updates cascade.
Enable native Google functionality that exists between their products and allows the linking of content such as slides and spreadsheets between different G-suite presentations and workbooks. This allows updates made to source slides and spreadsheets to cascade down into other locations where they've been linked, avoiding the need to perform manual updates to the different instances of the slide or spreadsheet. Very useful when similar slides are being used between different decks.

Upgrade Search capability to be included on Fedramp High BOX Accounts
It would be ideal to keep all of the power of search capability with the BOX Fedramp high accounts. You currently lose the search capability of searching within the first 1000 words in a document when you upgrade your account to Fedramp High.
If there is a way to update the search capability for those fedramp high accounts to have encrypted search for the first 1000 words that would be ideal. It is one of the better features in the BOX system.
