  1. SSO "Part of Company" landing page customization

    If SSO is enabled, users (both managed and external) can be prompted with a page asking if they are part of our organization. When you select continue, it take you to the SSO page, which Not a part of Company takes you to login with you Box credentials.

    This language is confusing for our external collaborators, as they often think they are part of our organization.

    We would like the ability to customize or alter the language on this page to make it clear that the Continue button is for employees only.

  2. Open read-only in BoxDrive

    Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
    Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

    -in Japanese-

    読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

    Box Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.

    Here are a few possible workarounds:

    • Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
    • Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
    • Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

  4. Error Message

    I keep getting an error message "Unable to open folder" but it's not for any folders that I am trying to access. It doesn't happen all the time but at random times and on random days?

  5. Request for improvement of search function

    The search function is inconvenient and we would like to suggest improvements.
    There are two main points:

    ① Exact match impossible
    ・On the website, there is a statement that You can perform an exact match search by adding'' in the search field, but even if you do this, it will not result in an exact match. (For example, if you search for "Furusato", you will get hits for characters such as "fu" and "to")

    ⇒ Exact match search is not possible (search is performed based on characters)

    ② 10,000 byte search range limit (only the first 2 to 3…

  8. Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile

    For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
    - be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.

    - be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
    - those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.

    Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access…

  9. Version icon and file information not being updated.

    One a document hits version 2, the version counter no longer goes up if the document is updated. The properties > file information is not updated either, which means it does not show the latest modified date and time as if there is a lag.

  10. improve the incorrect display of the screen after setting up to prohibit uploading with a free account within our company using BVE settings

    Using BVE settings, we set up our company to prohibit uploading with free accounts and verified it.

    We would like to ask you any questions or requests regarding the verification results.
    The contents are summarized in the attached documents, so please check them.

    I would like to provide only a summary of the questions and requests.
    I was able to verify the environment where uploading is not possible, but the screen display during operation is
    ・Incorrect display
    (Display of "Some parts could not be uploaded" even though not all could be uploaded)
    ・It is a terrible display of expression.

  11. Expand BoxNotes to full width even when not logged in to Box

    If you do not have a Box account, you will not be able to expand the BoxNotes to full width when you open the shared link.
    I often create full-width BoxNotes, so I'd like to be able to expand and collapse them full-width even for users who don't have a Box account.

    -Japanese-
    Boxアカウントを持っていない状態だとBoxNotesの共有リンクを開いたときに全幅で展開することができない。
    全幅でBoxNotesを作成することが多いので、Boxアカウントを持っていないユーザーでも全幅の展開と折り畳みができるようになってほしい。

  15. See folder structure

    Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.

    For example, if the folder structure is:
    X
    |- Y
    |- Z

    and our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
    This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.

  17. Mirror files in one location to another

    Add the ability to mirror files from one location to another. If we have /Investment/Deals/financialReport.xlsx we want to have the option to mirror it to another location such as /Investment/Investor Profiles/Axel Pina/financialreport.xlsx.

    The feature should include the file's versions. If the file is edited in location one, it should be reflected on location 2.

  18. Display the user which last authorized a Box Custom App

    Display the Admin's email who authorized a custom app on the Platform Apps Manager page (this currently shows App Name, Last Activity, Developer Email, Authorization Status, Enablement Status) or in the "View App Details" view for a custom app.

    As Primary Admins and Co-Admins can change, this would allow users/admins to quickly identifying the users/email who authorized an application. Reducing confusion or the need to run a report, when determining if an app is still needed or can be removed.
