The upper limit on the number of file requests that can be "bulk deleted"
Due to Box's specifications, you can delete file requests all at once using the following steps.
However, if you try to delete nearly 1,000 file requests, you'll receive the error message "Failed to delete link." The following steps prevent you from deleting them.[Admin Console > Content > File Requests > Select multiple file requests > Click the trash can icon that appears]
For security reasons, we need to periodically delete large numbers of file requests to prevent unnecessary requests from being available for a long period of time.
However, currently, the only way to delete nearly 1,000 file requests…8 votes -

Request to Add “Preview Only, Download Disabled” Permission in Admin Console
Request to Add “Preview Only, Download Disabled” Permission in Admin Console
Currently, the admin console user status settings include permissions such as “Active - View Only” and “Active - View/Upload,” but there is no granular control to allow file preview while disabling downloads. For security reasons, we request adding a new status or permission that enables “preview only with download disabled.”

The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps
When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.
When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

playback speed controls for audio or video files
At the moment, the Box Mobile app for iPad doesn’t include playback speed controls for audio or video files, so I suggest to add this function. The web already has this function. It would enhance the audio user playback!

Box language settings are not reflected in Box Notes.
Even if I change the display language of Box, the display of Box Notes does not switch to that language.
As I checked, it seems to depend on the language setting of the browser.
Other features such as Box Canvas and Box Hubs are tied to the display language of Box, so I would like to see Box Notes modified to work the same way.4 votes -

I want to ensure that clients cannot forward links that I send with intellectual property. When clients/customers order my products, I want them to have a downloadable link (without having a box account) to access the document(s). I do not want to send a passcode for access (unless it is required).
I tested out this feature with a few of my email accounts not linked to my Box account. I also tested it out with a Box user in with account access, but to an email not linked to Box.

Box integration sending emails with inconsistent formatting
Box integration is sending unusal format to emails resulting in + between each word. This was reported and found Thanks for testing and sharing your observations. The behavior you’re seeing with the + signs in the subject and body is due to how the Box integration generates the Outlook on the web compose window. It URL-encodes spaces as +, which Outlook sometimes displays as spaces and sometimes shows literally — this explains why clearing the browser cache makes it look correct for the first attachment but not for subsequent ones.
Essentially, this is a limitation of how the integration constructs…

Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)
[Background and Problem]
A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.Below are our feature improvement requests.
Multi-line Input Support
We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.Increased Character Limit…

Signer to add fields to the signature request additionally to those added by sender
When using BoxSign, there are many cases where the requester will add additional fields.
In such a situation, there are times when signers themselves would like to add new fields, but they are unable to do so, and many voices are voicing concerns about the lack of convenience across the company.
We would like to request the implementation of this feature to improve convenience.BoxSignを使用する際に署名リクエスト者がフィールドを追加するケースが多々あります。
その状況下で署名者自身でも新たなフィールドを追加したい時がありますが、追加することできず社内全体で利便性に欠けている声が多く上がっています。
利便性向上のため本機能の実装をお願いしたいです。19 votes -
Allow Multiple Enterprise IDs (EIDs) to be Defined as a Single Internal Organization (Tenant Federation)
For security or operational reasons, it is common for a single enterprise to operate multiple Box tenants. However, when an organization's internal user scope ("company") is defined by its Enterprise ID (EID), users from these separate-but-related tenants are treated as external collaborators.
This creates significant problems and reduces usability:
Shared Link Restrictions: Users from a related tenant cannot access links shared with the "People in your company" permission level.
Group Collaboration Issues: It is not possible to invite groups from a related tenant to collaborate on content.
Reduced Security and Convenience: Collaborators from related tenants are flagged as "external," which…

Allow Custom Domain Email Addresses for Service Accounts and App Users
Service Accounts and App Users are automatically assigned an email address with the @boxdevedition.com domain. This becomes problematic when a company's collaboration settings define internal users by their own corporate domain (e.g., example.com).
Under this configuration, if a shared link's access level is set to "People in your company," the Service Accounts and App Users are treated as external users because their @boxdevedition.com email does not match the company's domain. Consequently, they are blocked from accessing these internal-only links, which hinders automated workflows and API-based processes.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a feature that allows administrators to change the assigned @boxdevedition.com email…1 vote -

In order to share content quickly and securely with certain company users, we would like to request the following features

Please eliminate the need to log in and out when updating the app
When updating the app or fixing issues, we would like to avoid requiring users to log in and out whenever possible. For administrators, it is burdensome to notify employees about changes that need to be reflected.

Expire shared links for external users, but not internal employees
When employees use shared links to exchange sensitive data with clients, we set them to expire for security reasons. However, when we later encounter a shared link within an internal email or slack message, we can no longer see what it linked to. We could go run a report to find out, but that would be a support ticket. It would be much better if shared links could just continue working for employees (if they are permitted direct access) even after they have expired for external users.
Before link expiration, content is accessible to anybody internal or external who has…

Envelope support
At present box sign doesn't support envelope feature. Like adobe esign api or docusign api. I can request an agreement or an envelope to a set of users and their sign fields mapped in the entire document .
Box at present considers the signature field per document only. This is an essential piece to complete against adobe esign api or docusign api.
From pricing perspective box can introduce a special pricing for this as well.

Users should know what they are exposing outside
Is it possible to have a simple page accessible by a user, to get :
- all the shared links he has created (especially open links accessible by anyone outside, with or without password and expirity date)
- and old outside collaborations (with Box accounts needed)
?A lot of users create collaboration and shared links, and many months or years later they don't remember that these parameters are still in place (even if they don't work anymore with those external users).
It is a breach of security, exposing data outside of our company without knowing it (unless we dig…5 votes
