Box MCP Connector: Add Binary File Upload Support (.xlsx, .pptx, .docx)
The Problem
The Box MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector, used to integrate Box with AI platforms like Claude (Anthropic), currently supports only plain-text file uploads. The uploadfile and uploadfileversion tools accept text-only content and support a limited set of extensions: txt, md, csv, html, json, and a few others.
Binary file formats — specifically .xlsx, .pptx, and .docx — cannot be uploaded through the MCP connector. The connector's own documentation references a getupload_url path for binary uploads, but that method is not exposed as a callable tool in the current implementation.Why This Matters

Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Subject: Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Hello Box Support,
I am using the official Box integration within ChatGPT. The integration can currently list my files, create folders, upload files, rename items, and inspect permissions. However, it does not provide an action for moving an existing file or folder to another Box folder.
For example, I asked ChatGPT to:
- Create a folder named
! - Move the files and folders in my Box root directory into that folder
ChatGPT successfully created the folder, but it could not move the existing items because the Box integration…

Manual start trigger in a box app
I want to be able to select a set of records or files in a view and manually start a workflow on them from within a Box app. Right now, manual start is not available in Box apps.

Section Limit on Hub Pages
Currently, there is a 90-section limit for each Hub page. We are concerned about letting users manage their hubs freely because they often don't keep track of the number of sections. Based on my validation, the frequency of this issue is unacceptable. Could you please increase this limit?

MCP
I would like to input content directly from Claude Code into sources like Box Notes, but currently, I have no choice but to upload them as txt or md files, which cannot be edited within the Box Web Application.
Since txt and md files cannot be edited directly on Box, I have to download them to my local machine and re-upload them every time I make an edit, which makes sharing and updating files extremely inconvenient.
I understand that Office or Google files cannot be edited directly via MCP, but I would like to be able to edit Box-native content,…
1 voteWe're happy to share that the binary file upload/download has been release - the actual availability depends on the MCP Clients sandbox and external access. More on that here: https://docs.box.com/en/box-mcp/tools#upload-and-download-url-tools

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 -
Easily check past annotations in Box Notes
Box Notes is extremely easy to use for team brainstorming and reviews, and it has become an essential tool for our day‑to‑day collaboration.
Currently, when we add a comment using the annotation feature in Box Notes, the comment disappears in the next version if the referenced text is deleted. While it is possible to revert the Note to the version in which the annotation was made via the version history, this is not very intuitive.
We would like comments (annotations) to remain viewable as a history, even after the referenced text has been deleted, similar to how comments work in…

Execute Relay against document in App view
As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a manual start Relay workflow to a Box App view so that I can trigger a workflow against a document by clicking a button e.g. specify initial approver and then execute workflow
4 votesWe are excited to share that you can now execute Automate Manual Start workflows directly from the Box Apps views.
This is supported for a single or multiple documents as long as they share the same folder which has Manual Start workflow configured.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the area of Apps+Automate as the next step on the roadmap is streamline such Manual Start trigger actions into buttons that App Builders can configure for their Line of Business users.

Create shared link to a nested page in a Box Hub
Our Box Hubs audience consists of mostly external partners, so we design our Box folder structure and Box Hubs with a novice user in mind. For a critical marketing campaign, I have created a nested page in our main partner shared Hub, but I don't have the ability to create a shared link for just that page that I can post in a call out on our separate partner-specific "sub Hubs." My callout includes instructions to look for the page on the left nav, but it would be nice to be able to link directly to the nested page.
41 votesReleased. we will follow up with a link icon in the UI to copy the link and anchor links to Hubs sections. stay tuned

'Does not contain' filter for name field in Box App

Ability to resize metadata column widths
We have some file names that exceed that default widths of the columns in a Box App. We would like the ability to increase the width of a column if the length of the content exceeds the default column width. Currently, the only way to see the whole file name is to hover your mouse and wait for the small popup to show the file name, often requiring an end user to do this for every file returned in a view.
This functionality is present when viewing content in a folder; similar functionality in a Box App would be really…

We’d like to be able to preconfigure/customize the watermark applied by access policies.
We’d like content that has a watermark applied using Box Shield classification labels to display a preconfigured custom watermark.For example, content labeled “Confidential” should display a watermark with the text “Confidential.”
Ideally, the watermark could be customized when configuring the security controls, without requiring per-item settings.Box Shieldの分類ラベルを使用して電子すかしを適用したコンテンツに対し、予めカスタマイズした電子すかしを表示して欲しいです。
たとえば、「極秘」の分類ラベルを付与したコンテンツには電子すかしで「極秘」の文字列が出るようにしたいです。
個別に設定をせずとも、セキュリティコントロールの設定時に電子すかしをカスタマイズできるのが望ましいです。9 votes -

Disable Public Links for Box Hubs Specifically
Box Hubs permissions are tied to global shared link settings which makes it impossible to block public links without disabling it across all documents and folders. I would like to be able to specifically disable public links for Box Hubs as the risk profile is far greater than the normal file/folder.
Our worst case scenario is that someone accidentally provides a publicly accessible link to a Hub which would "break" permissions for all files and folders added to it.
1 voteUsers can now block Hubs from being shared publicly via “anyone with the link”:
- Admins can set a global default in Hubs Global Presets to prevent open/public shared links for all new Hubs.
- Co‑owners can also restrict public shared links at the individual Hub level, as long as the admin hasn’t locked that setting.

New shortcuts to AI in Box Notes
A new shortcut for Box AI for Box Notes has been released to display the AI prompt field when you enter a space at the beginning of a line in Box Notes.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/42854740437011-New-shortcuts-to-AI-in-Box-Notes
I often type a space at the beginning of a line to lower a paragraph, and I had to clear the AI prompt field each time.
It is a small thing, but it is troublesome, so I would like you to change the specification.
Idea 1: Add configuration items to disable shortcuts in the admin console, registry, etc.
Idea 2: Change the shortcut to something else instead…21 votesHi. This feature is delivered. Please let us know your feedback to product team - okryvtsova@box.com

AI chat history should be saved
Any AI chat history, whether on a document(s) or in a Hub, is not saved in the same way other AI platforms do (ex, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, CoPilot, Perplexity, etc.). Retaining the chat history will improve efficiency in future conversations and improve personalization. This seems to be the biggest flaw/miss in the rollout of Box AI.
