notifications group
Allow users to set per-group notification preferences. My work recently created several umbrella groups that contain 100's of people and these groups get added as collaborators to announcement type documents. These documents generate a lot of noise with comments, etc. Now I have to choose whether to get flooded with notifications or turn them off. I would prefer to disable notifications of just the documents associated with these big umbrella groups, not the notifications for documents to which my account has been specifically added as a collaborator.

Copied photos do not carry any of the comments made on the original file.
Comments that I have added to photos do not remain when I copy those photos to other folders within box. This is terrible as I now have to go through all of the copied photos for a second time and manually add all the comments that are associated with the original picture files.
Please fix this.

Move whith leaving a bookmark menu
【Request】
I would like to see "Move whith leaving a bookmark" added to the file menu.【Background】
We are trying to centralize data management by using Box, but
Copying files and folders within Box becomes inefficient if it becomes the norm.
Searchability is reduced, file merging becomes more time-consuming, and the risk of editing or sending the wrong file increases.We want users to use "move" as their main tool, but
However, if a file is removed from the source folder, other users will be confused and it will be difficult to use.The bookmark creation function is difficult to…

Custom error messages when shared links cannot be accessed
【Request】
I'd like to be able to customize the error message when I can't access a shared link in Enterprise settings.【Current Status and Issues】
The current error message is
"This shared file or folder link has been removed or is unavailable to you.
Think it's a mistake? No worries: Just email the owner or get in touch with Box support. We're here to help."However, it doesn't help with the next step at all.
Even if the owner or administrator is contacted, they often can't identify the file and can't provide any support.
Also, it is not always possible…1 vote -
I want to be able to upload/stream data in real time to a secure Box folder
Drone operators, Tik Tok users, event planners, wildlife professionals, military training heads, aircraft pilots -- off the top of my head, these are just a few great uses for streaming media files in real time directly to a secure Box folder. Omit the extra, less-secure step of capturing material on a mobile device (laptop, outdoor camera, phone, and so on), and then uploading it to Box. And never worry about the camera, phone, or other device holding your precious content failing or becoming lost before you've had a chance to view/upload the data.

Export menu of the Access Statistics for non-administrators
【Request】
I would like you to make the access statistics export menu available to non-administrative users.
I think this can be achieved by allowing the user to select the destination folder after clicking the export menu.【Current status and issues】
Currently, only co-administrators or administrators who have the authority to output reports can export access statistics.
General users other than administrators can check the access statistics, but cannot export them to a file.The PR department has voiced the desire to export access statistics to a file.
However, we do not want to give them co-administrator privileges because of the…25 votes -
Move or copy to multiple folders
I would like to be able to Move or Copy a group of files to multiple folders in one click. It seemed when you added the radio buttons, that might be possible to select multiple destinations. Alas no.

Box Note Table Functions
We want to be able to use equations/functions in Box Notes Tables similar to Excel or Google Sheets functionality. For example, typing AVERAGE = (B2:B4) into cell B5 would find the average of cells B2 through B4.
This would be a very helpful update.

Show file/metadata info from Photoshop image files
Photographers submit their images to our Box account for use in our publications. The industry standard is for professional photographers to add metadata like the photo credit and caption to each photo using the "File Info" tool in Photoshop. Unfortunately, after doing so and then uploading the images to Box, the metadata added in Photoshop is not visible in Box's metadata section. Please consider exposing this info under "details" or "metadata."
Extra credit: Allow us to edit that same metadata in Box. Doing so would allow the correct credit and caption info to flow into our InDesign layouts. Saving lots…

Bulk Add someone as a co-owner to existing folders
Make a way to bulk add someone to multiple existing folders in Box as a co-owner. This stems from if you want to make someone a co-admin so they can assist with existing folder creation/access for newer employees of your company you would have to add them to a folder individually to achieve this. If you have many folders this would take a long time as a manual process so a bulk add would make it that easier to do.

Co-admin should be able to login to other co-admin accounts and service accounts
Box co-admin should have the ability to log into other co-admin accounts and application services accounts to manage content. Today, you rely on using Box APIs or the primary Box admin account. It would be more convenient for coadmins to use the Box webapp instead.

Box Capture File Name
I want the file names of Box Capture pictures to be "date and time" instead of "date and sequential numbers", just like when shooting with the Box app.
Example:
Box Capture: "2021-01-11_001.jpg"
Box (Take Photo or Video): "Image 2021-01-11 14.00.00.jpg"Currently, the file names conflict and the files become messed up order, especially when several people share a folder and take pictures.
I would appreciate if you could improve it.
Thanks.2 votes -
Box Notes inbox
I use Boxnote all day long for meeting notes, agenda, drafting documents asynchronously, etc. It's great. However, I would love to see a more streamlined inbox format so I can find relevant boxnotes more easily. I can only see 5 boxnotes listed before I have to start scrolling down the page because there are three lines of text: the file name, when it was updated, and what folder it's in. All I need is the name. If the other lines and the extra blank space were to be removed, I'd be able to see many more listed. I'd like to…

Add the ability to abort operations such as moving, deleting, and restoring from the Trash Box that involve large amounts of content.
Add the ability to abort operations such as moving, deleting, and restoring from the Trash Box that involve large amounts of content.
Box does not have a function to abort operations such as moving or deleting folders or files containing a large amount of content, or restoring from the Trash Box. By adding this function, users can abort the operations they have done by mistake.

Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)
Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)
The collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console) seem to treat inactive users differently, and the group page intentionally excludes inactive users and only includes active users.
The Collaborators list page in the web app does not.Please consolidate the handling of inactive users as this specification is confusing to users and to administrators.

sync to a RAID
Our global video team need a cloud solution that can be saved to our external RAIDs. We need to store and access TB's of footage. Desktop hard drives are no large enough.
We could potentially use the older 'Box sync', but we understand that it is due to be phased out, and it does not support selective offline/online syncing, which we need.
