Box for Outlook - Default no attachments selected
When using the Box Outlook app, by default all attachments are selected. I would default to no attachments and require people to select they want to save.
The main reason is that for EVERY email there is normally MANY image files that make up part of the signature, it is necessary to unselected many more image files than the attachment(s) we want to save.

Box for Outlook - Seamless login with SSO
The Box app in Outlook is currently not a great user experience requiring users to login daily. It should pass existing SSO credentials across and login at least after the first set-up. Look at Asana as an example of how this should work

Scheduled Metadata-Based Automation for Document Lifecycle Management
Today, Relay workflows are primarily event-driven and lack the ability to run on a recurring schedule to evaluate metadata conditions.
For knowledge management use cases, it would be highly valuable to support:
Dynamic metadata setting on approval
When a knowledge article is approved, automatically set a “Next Review Date” based on configurable offsets (e.g., +30, +60, +90 days)Scheduled Relay execution
Ability to run a workflow on a recurring basis (e.g., daily)
Evaluate metadata fields such as “Review Date” or “Expiration Date”Conditional actions based on date evaluation
If Review Date = Today, trigger actions such as:

Option to default new Office files to web editor without disabling Box Edit
Currently, when Box Edit is installed/enabled, newly created Word/Excel files in Box open automatically in the desktop app, interrupting workflows for users who prefer the web editor (like me at SMRU Consulting). Disabling Box Edit fixes this but removes desktop editing entirely, which isn't ideal.
Requested Feature:
Add a setting to default newly created Office files to open in Microsoft 365 for Web, while keeping Box Edit active for existing files or manual "Open in desktop" choices.
Bonus: A prompt on creation ("Open in web / desktop?") for flexibility.
Why It Matters:
Streamlines workflows for web-first users without sacrificing Box…

Image Crop in Box Canvas
Enable image cropping in box canvas.
Be really useful when creating mood boards to crop the images and screenshots in box canvas rather than doing this before uploading

Move/Copy dialog search no longer shows parent folder path
In the Move/Copy dialog, search results no longer display the parent folder or path context for folders with identical names.
Previously, search results clearly showed both the folder name and its parent location. Now, only the folder name is shown, resulting in duplicate entries that are indistinguishable unless each one is opened.

Document title previews
Hi! After the latest platform update, Box doesn't show document title previews anymore when you hover over the document and it's very inconvenient - could we have this function back?

Add a feature to enable batch descriptions to be added to multiple files on Box at once.
Our organisation is using the file description feature to optimise search and give legacy context and crediting to files on Box.
Descriptions must be added manually to files one at a time. we are uploading hundreds of files at a time, often all with the same description.
A feature that allows multiple files to be selected and assigned the same description at once would be hugely efficient v the current process.

Request to Enable Start Time Configuration for Shared Link Validity
I would like the ability to configure the start date and time for a shared link’s validity period.
For example, a shared link would become active and accessible 60 minutes after it is created.
This feature would help prevent issues caused by misconfigured shared link permissions or sending a shared link to the wrong recipient.3 votes -
Search sorting - have the possiblity to always list exact matches at the top
The current Box search (especially when moving files) seems to prioritize folders that do not have the searched for string in their title but are seemingly selected based on recency or usage.
Many of our teams move files based on a specific string in their title to a specific folder including said string.
Since those folders are often not touched for a long period of time, the folders do sometimes not show up in search or only all the way down, with seemingly unrelated folders being displayed at the top instead.1 vote -
Forward and Backward Arrows
I don't think its an Idea, but to move through files the > arrow buttons seem to be backwards. The Left < is to move Foward and the Right > is to move backwards. When I think it should be the other way around for those of us who are use to < to be backwards and > to be forward.

Displaying Tag Suggestions to Collaborators
When performing a tag-based search, content owners see tag suggestions automatically populated in the search view as they type the first few characters.
However, users who are not the content owner do not see any suggested terms, so they must already know the exact tags that have been registered.
Because there are many types of tags applied to content across the organization, it is difficult for users to always know all tags accurately.
Even for content they do not own, we would like users to see suggested tag terms during tag search for any tags that are used on content…

Need for User Self-Removal from the Suppression List
Currently, only Box administrators or co-admins can remove email addresses that have been added to the Suppression List.
Furthermore, users cannot tell whether they are on the Suppression List and have no choice but to contact an administrator.
To reduce the burden on administrators, it is desirable that users be able to remove themselves from the Suppression List.
(In Japanese)
現在、Suppression List に登録されたメールアドレスの解除は、Box 管理者または共同管理者にしかできません。
また、ユーザーは自分が Suppression List の対象になっているか分からず、管理者に連絡するしかありません。
管理者の負担を減らすためには、ユーザー自身が Suppression List から自分の登録を解除できることが望ましいです。12 votes -
Create Doc Gen templates from Excel.
I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from Excel documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

Metadata Taxonomy Searches MCP Server
We use taxonomy fields in some of our metadata templates. Using Claude.ai to access our data via the Box MCP Server we are unable to search taxonomy metadata fields. Enabling this would be very helpful for our use case. Thank you.
2 votesI'd love to hear more about this. Would you be willing to jump on a quick call to discuss this use case further? Here is a link to my calendar:

this simply doesn't work.
I've got 13GB of files to upload. I tried doing it in one go - and after a few hours I got an error saying "Some Uploads Failed". The "Resume All" button didn't work. I didn't know where this went wrong, deleted everything, tried uploading in chunks, same issue. Had to go down to granular 300-600MB folders, upload those, on a fast connection - super slow upload. Then - some folders display "0 Files", yet on opening have a ton of files. What gives? Who programmed this? ChatGPT? Could you give us FTP access or an app that would work…

The X in the top right for closing out of previewing a file is gone
The X in the top right for closing out of previewing a file is gone. This is so painful to click the back button. Probably not the biggest thing in the world long term but short term soooo painful. I don't see why that couldn't just be kept, it wasn't bothering any feature or getting in the way.
