Ability to adjust document autosave sensitivity (if not, it makes version history obsolete )
Recently noticed our company document autosaves are soaking up all of our version histories. Box Drive is reading every time a document is edited and autosaved as a new version. Even if you are actively editing the document it still is reading all autosaves the document itself is doing. For Mac Office, this occurs about every minute and there's no way to adjust it. I remember Box Drive being able to know if the document was edited or not upon close or save. This allowed for our version history to go back several months instead of several hours. Very bad…

Ability to edit the way Box Looks
Is box changing the way it looks constantly ? I don't like the changes and would prefer the choice to pick the way the program displays on my screen and would also like to rename my Favorite Tabs to what I want them to say not what the file name is.

Shield classification - Admin console visibility and user reporting
1) "Whenever any user tries to apply the classification, Box console is not able to tell the owner which users would be affected due to this."
2) "As well as while adding external users for collaboration on a classified folder where external users have this limitation, It would be great if the console can let the owner know about it, Otherwise he would think all should work but in actual it's just not enough, He has to whitelist the external domain under classification."

Adds the ability to hide the notifications that appear when you open an auto-locked file on a box drive for all tenant users.
Tenants that automatically lock files in Box Drive will be notified that when another user opens a file that is already open from Box Drive, the file will be locked and opened in read-only mode.
Add the ability to hide this notification for the entire tenant.2 votes -
display request for Try this API
In the API reference Try this API displays Response Headers and Response Body. It would be nice if it also displayed the request URL and maybe request headers and body depending on HTTP type.
Cheers...

Instead of stalling/killing workflow when file to be moved is still open, pause and send notifications to close file
Workflows currently stall (=die) if a file is meant to be moved following a task assignment, where the assignee edits the file and "Marks as complete" without having closed the file's tab. This can happen quite commonly: a user is asked to input edits into a file, so they open the file in the relevant Office online app (eg Excel online), and when they're done editing, if they forget to close the Excel online tab in their browser before going back to the BOX preview tab where they click on "Mark as Complete", then the workflow stalls. It would be…

Access to file link from search results
When a search is executed in the browser, it is not possible to open a file in the search on another tab. The only option available seemingly is to open on the same tab. It is handy to manage the exploration through the search list to be able to either open a particular file or folder in the search list in a new tab, or copy the file link without having to create a share link to open file in a new tab.

Improve speed of reflection of latest data for reports less than 1 hour
Reports other than the User detail report will take 24 hours to reflect the latest data. Only user detail report is live with 1 hour data freshness limit. It is very inconvenient that the latest data is not reflected immediately.

Highlight Text and Translate the word
Inside the preview, it would be great when I highlight a text in a file, it would automatically translate the word into a language thats is set on the browser. For example highlighting an English word and translating it into Japanese.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Disable instructional popups via Admin Console
Finding in the new UI that there are a lot more instructional popup messages going over the basic features of Box web app.
We provide our own training internally and there are certain popup messages that conflict with how our users would utilize our Box instance (e.g. we use our own in-house tool for managing Box collaborations via Box API ... and the File Request / Shared Link popup message contradicts our process).
Also, finding that these popup instructional messages/windows do reappear for user even after they have closed out of it (after either clearing their web cache, using a…

Change order of the buttons in web interface
Putting the "Trash" and "Download" buttons right next to each other in the web interface is a recipe for disaster. About 5 times a day I accidentally click trash instead of download.

Add ability to set time for reminder notifications by each user or admin.
Currently assignee will receive reminder notification 24 hours before the due date of the assigned task. Users are receiving these reminders at mid of night and they want to receive them in daytime.
Box Relay can set the default due ("time to complete" option) like how many days and hours.
This default due is set automatically based on when the task is started. So for many cases, the reminder will be sent out because the task is started in daytime.But non-Relay task (General and Approval task) can set only due date from calendar picker, like "June 16". The due…

I would like to be able to change from a classification with a strict policy to a classification with a loose policy. The reverse should be
For the purpose of strictly protecting confidential information, we want to make it impossible to change from strict to loose permissions, even for users who have the authority to change classification labels. However, with the current Shield function, it is not possible to set the priority of changeability.
One possible way to achieve this is to allow users to set rankings for classifications or policies, and to limit the direction of the rankings.3 votesNot on the roadmap for FY25, will evaluate for FY26

If I use Box Drive，my computer's local Recycle is not available ?
Whenever a file is deleted from my computer's local Box Drive, it doesn't go in the trash itself. I am not able to see the file in my computer's local trash, it has synched to Box Driver in the first place.

【can_view_path】How the path looks when an item is moved to the trash
When using canviewpath, the collaborator sees a folder on the screen with no contents that should have been moved to the trash.
This has to do with the collaboration ID.This is because even if you delete an item, the collaboration ID remains and is needed to restore the item.
Although the actual contents cannot be accessed, the fact that the folder can be accessed and the folder name can be confirmed is considered a serious incident by companies with strict security requirements, and an early response is required.
Is it possible to change the functionality on a…5 votes -
Unable to see external items via API
Currently the API works differently than the UI. in the UI a user can see files/folders that were shared with them from an external (to the org) account, however, when trying to query for the visible items via the API these do not show.
In addition - if you try to get the details of specific items shared by an external user you get an error when using the API, which is unfortunate since this causes 2 classes of behavior that are inconsistent between the UI and the API.1 vote
