Hubs Admin setting for Create only (not Share)
Box Hubs Admin setting to allow users to Create Hubs but not Share Hubs. I’m hesitant to roll out Hubs org wide given user’s ability to share hubs. Hubs override the folder/ file permissions, thus content where one user would not necessarily have permissions to a folder/ file could be granted permissions (or elevated permissions) to content they would not otherwise have.

Enhance Task Management for High-Volume Users
My team relies heavily on Box tasks, and we’ve found that the current functionality lacks robust filtering and sorting options. Beyond the basic status categories—In Progress, Completed, Approved, or Rejected—there are no meaningful ways to organize or prioritize tasks. This becomes especially challenging when managing a high volume of tasks. For example, our HR teammate regularly handles 50 to 100 active tasks at a time, and navigating them efficiently in Box can be clunky and time-consuming. It appears the task feature was not designed for this scale of use. I recommend enhancing the filtering, sorting, and organizational capabilities to better…

admin reports free version
Is there a way to review whether an invited collaborator has downloaded anything from the shared folder? I have a collaborator that is fearful that his access may have been hacked and we are trying to figure out if anyone tried to download any files from the shared folder. I have the free version so I'm not sure if I have any reporting tools.

Allow for Custom Terms of Service that are different for each folder
Allow for Custom Terms of Service that are different for each folder. Currently, the Terms of Service apply to the whole account regardless of content/folder.

When removing access to Content page, please allow us to remove access to the File Request Link tab as well
When configurating a Co-Admin for Reporting Only rights, it enables the Content link in addition to reporting. Ideally, they would just see the 'Reporting' link under the Co-Admin links. I assume this is because reporting encompasses running reports as well as seeing other reports. The odd thing is that the Content section shows folders for Prior User for some reason. Ideally they wouldn't see Content section, or the right could be spiked out to allow them to see their own reports, but not others so no 'Content' link would be needed. Some reports can and do contain sensitive info, and…

Improvement of API performance and creation of guidelines for API usage
When utilizing Box’s API, if the amount of content per folder is enormous or the number of invitations to a folder is high, the processing speed drops significantly. As a result, it takes a long time to complete operations, which is quite frustrating.
We would like the API to deliver a more comfortable and speedy processing experience, so I hope you will improve the performance when using the API.
Additionally, there are currently no guidelines regarding API performance, so we have no choice but to verify performance degradation through testing.
This is hindering proactive API development. Please create clear guidelines…

Customizable Disclaimer Box When First Accessing Box AI
Would like to have a customizable box that an end user could check that they have read when first using Box AI - this box could point to our AI governance and terms. Ideally, they check that they've read the disclaimer and can then us Box AI against their files.

Admin View for Large Content Moves
Iterating on a feature request ["Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)"]
It would be great for an admin to have a holistic view of content moves across the enterprise. A report with triggered moves in progress could be a good start (including triggering action/user, folder ID and name, etc), with an eye toward a progress bar or something more detailed in the admin console.

JSON file with metadata template field names for Doc Gen.
We are using metadata to build documents using Doc Gen. The issue we constantly struggle with is building the template tags in the Doc Gen template from the fields in the metadata template. We don't know the exact field name to use in the JSON file so it requires some trial and error. It would be very helpful to generate the JSON file from the metadata template in the format needed to create the Doc Gen template tags.

Accessing Box files in Office apps with passcode enabled（iOS）
The Files App + Box integration does not support the app-specific password at this time, so we cannot reach Box from the Office apps.
A workaround is to disable the passcode, but this is not advisable as it reduces the security level of your device.
Employees who do not have PCs and work outside the office cannot use the system, which is causing disruption to work.パスコードが有効な状態でOfficeアプリでBoxファイルにアクセスしたい（iOS）
ファイル AppとBoxの現時点の統合ではアプリ固有のパスワードをサポートしないため、OfficeアプリからBoxにアクセスできません。
回避策はパスコードを無効にすることですが、端末のセキュリティレベルを下げることになるため望ましくないです。
PCを持たず社外で業務している従業員が利用できないため業務に支障をきたしています。4 votes -
Add repeatable sections to forms
Would be great to see repeatable sections in the forms.
So for example you have a set of fields related to some entity, and the user can add multiple entries of this entity by hitting to add additional sections with the same fields in it.

Bulk change link permissions for subfolders and files
As it stands if you create a folder with shared link permissions to be invited people only and then you add files and subfolders, if you change the permissions of the parent folder to change to anyone in your company, they don't propagate, nor do files added after inherit the parent folders permissions which were changed previously. It would be good if when making a change that you are prompted to allow waterfall permissions to subfolders and files or to not. I know this can be done with CLI, but there should be an easier way for end users to…
1 voteThank you for the insights. At the movement each shared link is viewed as a individual unit. We will continue to gather interest in such a capability to perform bulk actions.

There's no need for the "Launching Application" popup... I know its opening, I just clicked for it to open...
When selecting “Open With” and opening a file this notification pops up:
Launching Application
... is opening in Adobe Acrobat. Saving your file will save changes directly back to
Box.Lock file to prevent others from editing it
This is not necessary. It adds no functionality. I KNOW its opening, I just asked it to open by clicking OPEN. Then I have to click CLOSE to move on to the next step?
I understand the "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" might be useful to someone who is opening their own file and forgot to lock it, but…

Box Shield: "Read Only" Security Control setting
In Box Shield, add a Security Control setting that locks the folder and effectively puts the folder in a read-only mode, disallowing edits and uploads, no matter what the collaborators' permission levels are (except Admin, obviously).
This way, it's possible to give users a "lower" permission level to a subfolder without affecting their elevated permissions in the parent folder.

Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer
Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

Splitting up who has editor permissions and who can publish in Box Hubs.
When operating Box Hubs, there is a need for a system in place where after multiple people edit a hub, the edits are not immediately made public, but rather are checked by an appropriate authority before being made public.
This is currently possible in SharePoint, but not in Box Hubs.
Hopefully, by further dividing up the roles of those with authority, it will become possible to carry out the above operations.2 votes -
Ability to delete folders in the new Content Manager
In the previous Content Manager, you could delete both folders and files, but in the new Content Manager, you can only delete files.
Especially in controlled tenants, administrators may want to delete user-owned folders after a free account is rolled up to the tenant.
It has become very inconvenient because it is no longer possible to delete folders, which was previously possible from the Content Manager.We would like the functionality to be improved so that folders can be deleted just like in the previous Content Manager.

旧UIのコンテンツマネージャではフォルダとファイルの両方が削除が出来ていましたが、新UIではファイルの削除しかできなくなっています。特に統制型のテナントでは、無償アカウントをテナントに巻き取り後に管理者がユーザーが所有しているフォルダを削除したい場合があります。
従来できていた管理者による削除が出来ないためとても不便です。旧UIと同様フォルダの削除もできるよう機能改善を要望します。
