Setting tags for each folder
For example, I would like to see the setting inherited by a specific folder and its subfolders, similar to the "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" in the email notification in the folder settings.
In a tenant with many end users, tags can be disorganized.
For example, if you try to create a tag for December, some users may find that there are many ways to describe the month, and when they try to search for a tag, they may not be able to find the desired tag.
For this reason, many tenants restrict the creation of…4 votes -
Allow enter date for tasks within a workflow
Today the initiator of the workflow can enter recipients for a task outcome, but cannot specify date. This is very limiting in case the tasks should be completed by a certain date that can only be known by the initiator.
I have a use case for a highly valuable workflow, but because of this missing capability it cannot be implemented.
I believe that adding this capability make a lot of sense and would make the use of tasks in workflows much more powerful.1 vote -

Upgrade Box Drive-G Drive 100 MB Limit Size Limitation
I have a ticket number - #2250687 that has been closed because we need a feature request. When a file is created in Google Docs via Box, most of our users at Apeel keep having issues making changes, saving, sharing or downloading files.
What happens is Google makes edits to the file, the file grows larger than 100 MB, Google then fails to send those changes to Box. While this scenario is not desired it is technically expected; because of the Google error, Box is unable to receive new information and update the file size or content.Please upgrade your…

Error message when sharing due to inclusion of URL in message
When sharing a file or folder, the optional message will trigger an error if the user includes a URL in the message text. Instead of just validating the message body in context, the validation cancels the entire sharing popup interface and all of the email addresses that the user carefully entered and the entire message body that the user carefully crafted is lost. Why not just prompt the user to not type a URL and leave the sharing popup interface intact for correction? Also, an email address included in the message body is apparently considered a URL, which is not…

Allow default to full screen view on iPad horizontal view (like portrait view)
I like to view box in full screen and because I use landscape view often, I have to hit the double arrow every time I go to a page. In portrait view it automatically goes to full screen view. I'd like an option to automatically go to full screen in landscape.

brandfolder alternative - publish large files from creative team without involving a web developer to update the page
Brandfolder helps your brand easily give access to journalists wanting to write about your brand, a good example https://brandfolder.com/finisswim. On the front page of their website https://www.finisswim.com/ it shows a brandfolder icon to direct them to this link.
I want box to be able to make a folder public and let journalists have access to all the files we put in this folder. Box has this functionality - it's just not so elegant.
1) it doesn't display just the photos in GRID view. It shows the filenames, when it was uploaded, and my graphic designer's name, and the file…

Ability to view Box folders and files more clearly
Currently, when we look at a list of folders or files, we feel that they are displayed in a cluttered way.
This makes it difficult to find a particular item.
We manage and respond to items by grouping them by tags.We believe that the following features will make Box even more convenient for us to use in the future
・Assign any colour to the folders in the box
・Assign any colour to the tags in the Box
・The order of the tags in the Box can be rearranged by dragging.[Boxのフォルダやファイルを更に見やすくする機能]
フォルダやファイルを一覧で見た際に、雑多に表示されており、特定のアイテムを見つけるのが難しい。
現在は、タグによってグループ分けを行うことで対応している。今後以下の機能が増えることでより便利にBoxを利用できると考えています。
・Boxのフォルダに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
・Boxのタグに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
・Boxのタグの順番をドラッグで並び替えられるようにして欲しい。4 votes -
Ability for admins to see tenant wide API call trend insight dashboard in Admin or Dev Console
Platform Activity report could be used to find out daily API calls for each and every single registered apps. But it requires Excel to summarize to grasp overall tenant-wide API call trends.
Since this is hard for the admins to track if API calls exceed allowed number of calls or not, it would be ideal for admins to see tenant-wide API call trend insight dashboard from Admin or Dev Console.

Increase Google file size limitation >100MB
Please have Google increase File Size Limitation over 100MB.
Google currently has a file size limitation of 100 MB. In our workflow 1. Doc is created in Google Slides. 2. Once finalized, that doc becomes a template (>100MB) where it is shared across the entire company. 3. Once other users begin to make changes or try to make a copy to that template, they all get the Unsaved Changes message, due to Google's owner of the file size limitation. Google then fails to send those changes to Box.

Enhance the Box for DocuSign Integration in terms of metadata
We would like to put some information of DocuSign Envelope (such as contract data, term of contract, type of contract etc.) into Box metadata instance in an automated way. Currently, there's two ways users would be able to do are; 1. users manually populate metadata such as transaction amount in signed document or 2. using iPaaS (Workato) to automate populating metadata. No.1 is inefficient and time-consuming and has human-error risk. No.2 requires additional cost. This is actually required by Japanese local law when we save financial documents digitally. The law is called Denshi Chobo Hozon Hou. This becomes a huge…

Clearly Differentiate Options on "Share this Folder" Screen
On the "Share this Folder" window, I would LOVE for that incredibly thin horizontal dividing line to be thicker/darker. Alternatively, any intuitive page design change that would better differentiate the "INVITE PEOPLE" option from the "SHARE LINK" option would be wonderful! I do a lot of initial handholding for our new managed users with respect to sharing content.

"Your Download is In Progress" pop-up confuses clients
When a client of ours who is not a Box user downloads a file, a pop-up which says "Your Download is In Progress" appears. The issue is that the pop-up looks like there are only three courses of action, “sign up”, “log in”, or “x” out. Many of our clients have not realized that there is a fourth option, which is just wait for the download. This has caused confusion time and time again across different clients at different times. These are sophisticated users, and this creates serious client issues. Can you please remove the sign up and login options.…

From Mobile apps, be able to stop autoread to next files
It is when we put several mp3 files into a box folder or share multiple files with others. Then, when accessed these through the box app on a phone .... If we play one, the phone doesn't stop at the end, but goes on to play the next mp3 in the folder or the list of files shared.
Having just that one feature is indesirable. It generates less traffic to the apps and less exposure to Box other services ... I suppose the assumption was possibly for listening to music. But when we share podcasts or voice recordings, the current…

Change default Account Setting for "Files and Folders Per Page" from 20 to 100
I've been a Box Admin for 10+ years and I've met zero users who prefer to only see 20 items per page. I recommend either changing the default to 100 for everyone or at least allowing Admins to configure that as the default for all users in our Enterprise. When I set up a new users I log in to their account and change this for them as many people dislike the WebApp partly because they have to scroll through so many pages and they aren't aware that they can change this account setting.

Allow Shared folders to be owned by Domain ( vs user)
Similar to Google's Shared Drives, allowing admins to set ownership of a shared drive at the domain level vs user (human or service) would minimize the need for Service Accounts or changing ownership as users leave the company.

Cursor leaves folder name field after creating new folder
I've found two bugs in the we-based box app. These have both been happening for a while now... several months at least.
First, when you create a new folder, you can no longer just start typing the name, as the cursor leaves the Folder Name field upon creation of a new folder. Having to click back in the field is a bit of a pain.
Second, often when I'm uploading something - particularly if it's hundreds of megabytes, or part of a larger upload, after finishing the list of uploads, it will begin uploading the list again. I've uploaded a…
