These are Individual fields - they need the information from each member of the household which multiples the number of fields on the form

Box drive should only show and sync the selected folder and left the unselected online only
Box drive now allows you to hide folder. Be frankly this is useless. Because for most the IT users, we normally enabe showing hidden folder/files option in Windows explorer. So for more prefessional usage, the Box Drive should only show and sync the selected folders. The folders not selected should be left alone online.
One example, I have a box drive hosting many folders. Each folder hosting one project. The projects could be from different client. When I work with client A, I only want client A project folder to be sync and shown on my desktop. But now the…2 votes -

Convert Box Drive File to Box Link when Emailing Copy of File
We use Box to store company documents, and most people prefer to work with the Box files natively on Windows via Box Drive. The issue is when someone wants to circulate a copy of a file stored on box. The standard practice is to drag a copy of the document from Windows Explorer to an Outlook email. This results in a copy of the document, so future collaborators are not editing the Box document, but rather a copy.
This is a common feature in most established DMS products, where the user is asked if they want to upload the actual…

Requesting addition of embedded images
I would like to embed photos in the body text of a paragraph on Box Hubs. I know you can link to an image on box.com in Box Hubs, but when I am making a how-to document I need to put multiple small images inside of a body of text. Linking to an image uploaded to box makes huge 1x1 preview squares.

Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop
Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).
In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.
It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Allow Device Trust full disk encryption to specify software encryption (ie. FileVault)
Presently, when creating a Device Trust Policy that requires full disk encryption for Mac, there is no option to require FileVault as an additional requirement for full disk encryption. As a result, existing hardware encryption using Apple Silicon or a T2 chip satisfies the encryption requirement. It would be helpful to add this functionality so we can enforce FileVault as part of our device trust requirements.

API Endpoint to Customize Collaboration Invitation Email
Currently, when sending collaboration invites via the API you are unable to customize the message. For collaborators that do not have a Box account, it leads to the invitation message showing:
"" - FirstName Last Name
This is unprofessional and often confusing to the individuals receiving the invitation.

Add native file support for .sas file type
please add support for .sas file types. SAS files cannot be previewed, cannot be content searched, and they do not show in the Search results at all due to being an unsupported file type. We have thousands of .sas files stored in Box; being able to locate them via the Box Search tool would remove a pain point for many of our staff.

Add Table Layout and Inline Image Support in Box Hubs Content
We’re evaluating Box Hubs as a replacement for our internal SharePoint-based portal, and we’d like a few additional design capabilities.
Specifically, we’d like
(1) a table-style layout option for presenting information in a structured format.
(2) the ability to paste or insert images directly within Hub content.
These features would help us create clearer, more portal-like pages without relying on external tools.（日本語）
SharePoint上に構築している社内ポータルの代替としてHubを検討しており、デザイン面の機能追加を要望します。
具体的には、
(1)情報を整理して見せられる表形式のデザイン（レイアウト）オプション
(2)Hubのコンテンツ内に画像を直接貼り付け・挿入できる機能
これらがあると、外部ツールに頼らずポータルらしい見やすいページを作成できます。13 votes -
Integrate Box AI into the Hub Search Box
We’d like Box AI to be available directly from the main search box in Box Hubs. Today, users must click a separate AI button to open the AI panel, and less experienced users often overlook that button. Enabling AI from the central Hub search field would make Box AI more discoverable and easier to use as part of everyday searching.
（日本語）
Hubページのメイン検索窓（中央の検索ボックス）から直接Box AIを使えるようにしてほしいです。現状は上部のAIボタンを押してAIパネルを開く必要があり、慣れていないユーザーほどAIボタンに気づきにくいです。検索窓からそのままAI検索できれば、発見性が高まり日常の検索の中で自然に利用が広がると考えます。1 vote -
Box Seamless Login Permission Dialog Control. /Boxシームレスログイン許可ダイアログ制御
With the Box for Office co-authoring feature enabled for the entire tenant, users switch between co-authoring and individual editing depending on their use of macros or eco-solutions.
However, following the introduction of the seamless login feature, a screen requesting Box access permission appears every time a file is edited, even for users utilizing individual editing.
To prevent this display, administrators must individually disable the setting from the admin console for users who do not use co-authoring, which increases the burden on administrators.
Therefore, we would like the ability to select whether to show or hide the Box access screen associated…2 votes -
New Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files): Improve Explorer UX during startup/connecting to avoid unstable/incorrect folder state
Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)
When Windows starts, the new Box Drive (Cloud Files architecture) auto-connects. During this “connecting/initializing” period, the Box Drive folder becomes visible in File Explorer even though Box Drive is not fully running/ready. The folder view is unstable: some items show missing icons/status, and opening folders can result in errors. This happens consistently across multiple users in our pilot.
This behavior may be aligned with the feature “Box Drive folders remain accessible even when the Box Drive application is not running,” but exposing a partially-initialized state causes confusion and support tickets (users think…3 votes -
Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support
I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests,…

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。16 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
