Request to improve metadata_query limitation
Metadata queries Limitations
https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/limitations/When sending a metadata query request for which the result set exceeds 2,000 items, the API can only guarantee that it returns all all matching results if both the following conditions are met.
1.The requesting user has at least Previewer permission to all items in the result set
2.The ancestor folder contains all of the files in the result setWith the above limitation, it is not possible to narrow down the search to metadata for a specific folder when the range of metadata assigned is wide.
Could it be improved so that the number of…2 votes -
Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…10 votes -

FTP - Root Level Access
When connecting to Box via FTP you are logged into a session that is specific to your user account even if you are the Box administrator. In standard FTP server administration practice you can set which directory a user is dumped into upon login. There should be an administrator level setting that can be enabled to choose at which level the Admin account gets logged into, in this case the FTP root.
Currently when logging into Box FTP via Admin account you are defaulted to \FTP.box.com\Users\Admin and do not have permissions to jump up a directory to \FTP.box.com\Users
You should…

We want users to be able to output a "folder and file" report for each folder.
(Japanese follows English)
Currently, only administrators can output the "Folders and Files" report.
We would like users with editor permissions for the target folder to be able to output a "Folder and File" report for each folder.
At that time, We would like to be able to select whether the report will be output to that folder or the output destination.現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートは管理者しか出力できません。
対象のフォルダに対し編集者権限を持つユーザーが、フォルダ単位で「フォルダとファイル」レポートを
出力できるようにしてほしいです。
その際レポートの出力先はそのフォルダ内か、出力先を選択できると望ましいです。30 votes -
Collaboration expiration notice to the inviter
Only owners and co-owners will be notified when collaboration invitations expire.
I would be happy if this could be delivered to the "inviter" as well.
The person who is most concerned about this is the inviter as host.
The inviter is the one who can decide whether to extend the time.6 votes -

Add a new security level of "Restrict"
I understand the current security levels may once have reflected some technical details e.g. the permissions that might be assigned in a particular file system. However, this could be enhanced by a new security level ("Forbidden", "Excluded", "Restrict" or whatever makes sense) that is applied by exception.
A simple example:
Folder "News" has All Company as viewers.
Group "Contractors" are invited as "Restrict" access.
Whenever any user seeks access e.g. viewing the contents of the folder that contains folder "News", they will of course inherit the permissions from the parent, but before being allowed to see "News" Box first checks…

Way to permanently/default hide the side bar when you open a folder. I never look at that info; what I need to see are the document titles.

AI Photo enhancement
Photo enhancement – “fills in the pixilated blanks” on a photo so that it is clearer and perhaps more flexible to be zoomed. We get a lot of cellphone pictures for potential use that are framed nicely but low quality.

Having AI review multiple documents
It would be really great if you could do requests that span over multiple documents, including types varying types of documents in one file (doc and jpg, etc). For example, think about prompts such as “Compare the employee position description in document one to the action items in document two and give me ideas on relevant training and performance indicators.”

Add remote app support functionality like OneDrive is currently offering
OneDrive now offers support for starting in background for RemoteApp. I tried the same regkey for Box but it didn't work, can the same functionality be added for Box Drive?

Custom document repositories with metadata search
User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical way…1 vote -
provide option to not automatically accept collaboration invitations when being invited from a user group
I do not have option to not accept the collaboration invitation when content is shared with a user group that I belong to. Is there a way to have the option to not accept the invitation when invited by a user group that I am part of it.

Limit the number of files that can be uploaded in the Box Web App
The request is to include a setting within the Admin Console to limit the number of files that can be uploaded at one time through the Box Web App.
The customer is in insurance (ClaimsPro integration) and is trying to implement functionality to make a work item when someone uploads more documents for a claim than is allowed.
When users upload too many documents, the job will run multiple times while the documents are being uploaded, creating multiple work items. They are unable to reduce the run frequency of the job and are hoping to limit the amount of uploads…1 vote -
Recent Files Menu Options
I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?
Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

heatmap
Would love a heatmap report/feature that shows how often particular folders (or files) are accessed (over a specific timeframe). This way you could quickly identify folders/data you may not need to keep any longer. This would allow you to identify folders storing stale or useless data that could be cluttering up everyone's view. You could tie this into policies that could auto-delete/archive folders that have not been accessed within a certain time frame.
