Export / Import annotations via API
Box is growing fast and being considered a real challenger to the rest of ECM platforms, but it still lacks important features to be fully considered when migrating from those other platforms. There's no option at all to bring over annotations from existing systems or recreate them via API. For some business units that's a MUST, so it would be perfect to have that option available.

Add a “comment visibility” option in Link Settings
In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.
Currently, when a shared link is set to a non-edit permission such as Can view only (or Can view and download), comments aren’t visible to viewers. Even for non-edit shared links, we want viewers to be able to view timestamped comments on videos, since this feature is extremely useful.
Use case: We publish videos on Box Hubs and share them externally using People with the link (Can view only). If viewers could see comments, we could point them to specific parts of the video more efficiently.（日本語）…

Hub Collaboration Report
Box Hubs is a convenient feature that we use in our daily operations.
We would like to regularly perform checks to make sure there are no users who have been unintentionally invited to our Hubs.Currently, we can check this through the UI, such as the Admin Console or the [Share] screen of each relevant Hub, but there is no way to obtain a list.
If there were a function similar to the Collaboration Report that could export a report of all users invited to each Hub, our work would be much smoother.
Hubに意図せず招待されたユーザーがいないか定期的に棚卸作業を実施したいです。
現在は、管理コンソールや対象のHub画面の[共有]などUI上から確認できますが、一覧を取得する方法がありません。
コラボレーションレポートのように各Hubに招待されているユーザーをレポートで出力できる機能を実装してほしいです。8 votes -
Ability to change delete and transfer folder description
Currently, after a user is deleted and their content is transferred, the folder their content is transferred to has a Folder Description that reads: "This folder contains files previously owned by <user>, and were transferred to you by your enterprise administrator. If you have any questions, please contact <Name and Email Address of Enterprise Admin>."
Since many large customers don't have a single user monitoring the enterprise Admin email, it would make more sense for them to be able to edit this description to include their internal support helpdesk email alias instead of the primary admin

Allow Device Pinning for web
Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-PinningHowever, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
https://app.box.com/master/settings/devicesUsing sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

version
Allow the option to keep the existing filename when uploading a new version. Filenames are often autogenerated by the software producing the file. After uploading to Box, I usually rename the file to a more meaningful name. When I generate a new version of the file, it will have a different name, and then upload it to Box as a new version. Box renames it to the same name as the newly uploaded file, meaning I have to rename it again. I would like the ability to keep the previous name instead of the name of the newly uploaded file.

Automatic Approval Removal When Deleting Apps
Since the maximum number of app approvals is limited to 100, periodic deletion of apps is required. However, at present we must request Box to perform these deletions.
We’d like both JWT and OAuth authentication to automatically revoke authorization when an app is deleted in the developer console.
If the service account owns any content, we would like a dialog similar to the one shown when deleting a user, allowing us to choose whether to move or delete the content.
アプリ承認の上限数が100であるため、定期的な削除が必要ですが、現状はBoxに依頼をする必要があります。
JWT 認証と OAuth認証の両方で、開発者コンソールでアプリを削除したときに自動的に承認を削除するようにして欲しいです。
もしサービスアカウントがコンテンツを持っている場合は、ユーザーの削除と同様のダイアログを表示してコンテンツを移動、削除どちらかを選択させたいです。3 votes -
Give the Box Admin the ability to clone (mirror) an existing user's access when adding a new user to Box.
The goal is to streamline user provisioning by allowing Box Admins to replicate the permissions and folder access of an existing user when creating and adding a new user to Box.
This eliminates manual steps and ensures consistency in access control.
Why It’s Valuable?
Efficiency: Admins often need to onboard users with similar roles or responsibilities. Instead of manually assigning folders and permissions, cloning saves time.
Consistency: Reduces human error by ensuring the new user has identical access as the reference user.
Scalability: Ideal for large organizations where teams share common folder structures.

Index Lists
Suggest to add feature allowing users to download index lists of folder contents.
This feature could be permissioned, but the current protocol of requiring Box admin approval is challenging to navigate, and the produced index lists are not organized or very useful.

Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App
In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.
This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

Regarding the file display when changing the BoxNotes URL from "note" to "file" BoxNotesのURLを"note"から"file"にした際のファイル表示について
After sharing a Box Note, we want to set the shared URL to "file" instead of "note" to prevent editors from unintentionally modifying the content.
However, the "file" view breaks the layout (the width becomes narrow), so currently, it cannot be used for sharing purposes.We request the ability to either select the display method after changing to "file" or to be able to expand it to full-width display.
Our company uses Box Notes as a medium for sharing TIPS company-wide, but distributing the Box Note URL as "note" results in unintentional edits.
Therefore, we request an improvement to the…2 votes -

Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
The issue may be caused by one of the following:Lack of access permissions
Although I am able to log in, I may not have been granted the necessary permissions (e.g., Viewer or Editor) to view the relevant folder or files.Expired or restricted shared link
The shared link may have expired or been restricted to specific users, preventing access.Incomplete multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup

Controlling Public Link Creation and Scope on a Per-Folder Basis
In the folder settings for the top-level folder, shared link access is set to: "Only collaborators can access this folder via shared link" + "Folder only."
While keeping this restriction on the top-level folder, we would like to be able to configure the following settings for its subfolders and the files within those subfolders:・For each folder, configure whether public links can be created for the files in that folder
・For each folder, define which users are allowed to create public links for the files in that folder (e.g., managed users allowed, external users not allowed)Reason: As part of…

We would like to be able to check users’ departments from the UI:
Currently, you can view the usernames of users invited to a folder and the permissions granted to them within that folder.
However, there is no field in the account profile settings for entering a user’s department, so it cannot be easily checked.
While it is possible to work around this by adding the department to the username, this makes usernames longer and harder to read.
For example, I would like to be able to confirm a user’s department by displaying it in the same area as the permissions granted in the folder, or by showing the department when hovering the…5 votes -
Retrieve logs of users who uploaded files via the file request link
The file request link is extremely useful in our daily operations. It is a great feature that allows users without a Box account to upload files to Box. However, under the current specifications, if logging in to Box is not required in the settings, no information about the person who uploaded the file via the file request link is recorded in the logs. This poses a significant problem from an audit and compliance perspective.
For example, if a user enters their email address in the email field at the time of upload, it would be very helpful if that email…

from Box Folder (Filtered) View - Start Box Relay
Most of solutions would need filtered data for example, to track the status of any document or request, one would need Status field to track the progress and showing user a filtered view is necessary. From same view, if relay can be initiated would be highly appreciated.

create a new folder while moving file
There should be the ability to create a new folder while moving a file to a new location. Right now we have to create the folder in the location we want the new file in and then return to the current location and then move it. Time consuming.
