Ability to invite external unmanaged users into Box Apps
We are requesting a new feature that allows external (unmanaged) users to be invited into Box Apps.
Use Case Example:
A law firm wants to share categorized legal documents with their clients through Box. Currently, Box Apps enable internal users to view and manage files with rich metadata, making it easy to organize and automate workflows. However, clients cannot access these metadata views directly. Customers should have the ability to view this structure and even work with it to launch automations and processes, as well as search their documents more easily.22 votes -
Multiple Metadata Template Search Views
Allow Search Views to be built that search across more than one metadata template so that queries and conditions across metadata attributes from multiple templates can be used all in one view.

Global filter
Box APPs would benefit from a global filter (a filter on the APP's main page). This filter would allow to see the dashboard in context:
Projects. The app displays all projects, but allows you to drill into individual projects.
Manufacturing: see an overview of all machines and a global status, but allowing to dive into any machine.
HR: getting an overview of how your hiring is doing globally, while also being able to look at individual countries / cities (multiple fields).
The way APPs is organised right now we have to create an APP for each of these views, making…

Select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps
I would like the ability to select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps. For example, I may have a project folder with a metadata template cascading to all subfolders, but I only want to see content from 2 out of the 3 subfolders in the View.

Enhancing View Visibility with Text and Background Customization
I received feedback from a customer regarding improving visibility within views.
They specifically requested the following enhancements:
・Ability to adjust text size
・Ability to change text color
・Expanded background color palette, including darker color optionsThese improvements would allow users to better tailor the interface to their preferences and working environments (e.g., long working hours or dark mode setups).
In views with a high density of information, visibility directly impacts productivity, so we believe this would be a valuable enhancement.
=============
顧客からのフィードバックとして、ビューの可視性向上に関する要望をいただきました。
具体的には、以下の点の改善を希望されています：
・テキストサイズを調整できる機能
・テキストカラーを変更できる機能
・背景色のカラーパレットの拡張（特にダークカラーの追加）これらの機能により、ユーザーごとの視認性や利用シーン（例：長時間の作業やダークモード環境）に応じた柔軟な表示が可能になると考えています。
特に、情報量の多いビューにおいては視認性が業務効率に直結するため、ぜひご検討いただきたいです。

Remove Filter option for Box Apps View
We have a use case where we want to restrict a view so that users can only see verified items in a view from a Box App. No matter how the App is shared, users are always able to change the underlying filters and see items that are not verified. It would be great if there was a setting in the view that turns off the ability for viewers to change the filters and only restrict to the visible filters. Image shows the filters we want them to be able to edit, the "All filters" is no required.

Kanban metadata view in Box Apps
As a user, I'd like to be able to map a metadata field to metadata view columns so that I can clearly manage content as part of my daily process.
Instead of my 'Status' field being one column with multiple values, I'd like to each value to be its own column e.g. Not Started, In Progress, Pending, so that I get a status-driven view of my content.

Filter on multiple text values in text data type
Currently, a metadata field needs to already be a multiselect to use the Match Any to allow form multiple match cases for a given metadata field. If the data type is a text field you and only match on one value.
Essential, we would like to be able to create an OR conditional match on multiple values for a text field when querying metadata in a Box App View.
4 votesPlease note that filtering by multiple text values across all the metadata is already possible in Box Apps, either with the Natural Language Query (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48755807432211-AI-powered-search-and-filtering-in-Box-Apps) or using "OR" in the keyword search.

ability to format number field in metadata display to show fixed number of decimal places and commas
Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.

Download all files from view
Currently, you are only able to download the files visible in a view. If there are more than 25 files you want to download, you need to complete multiple batches. If you have a folder with 500 items in it, you can download the whole folder.
We would like to see an option where you can export all files in a view like you can with a folder so specific information can be aggregated across our environment and retrieved via a Box App
3 votesWe are not currently planning on offering bulk downloads as it is possible to have many thousands of files returned in a View.
However, you can change this setting (Files and Folders per page) for your user to 100 to get more items on a single page in Box Apps as it respects that setting on a per-user basis.
You can also use the "Location" column to go to the Folder that contains that file if what you want to download is in the same folder hierarchy.

Collaboration - Asset Transformation (ability to resize assets), DAM feature
Many Digital Asset Management Solutions allow Asset transformation (the ability to dynamically resize/reformat assets without manual intervention)
Use case: I create a new design that I want launch to different marketing campaigns (instagram, tiktok, email hero image, website hero image etc). From one design, I need to automatically create different sizes for each location.

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.

Assign user to item in Box App
As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a specific user in Box App rather than relying on free text or metadata drop down fields so that I can send a notification or task and see additional user information such as email and profile photo

box for capture: enable volume button to take photos
Our workers where gloves and it's hard for them press the on screen button to take photos.
I would like to be able to take photos with the volume buttonIt seems to work the same way as described in a previous post, but it doesn't work with the BOX app version 7.2.0 on iOS 26.5.2.

Chart view - add Dates to the "Field to Visualize" option
Currently the options for "Field to Visualize" only includes dropdown metadata fields. It would be great if I could also select Date fields, maybe with options to break down by year/quarter/month etc.

Naming the photos
I have a problem. Box app names the photos with ":" marks on the time stamp and my desktop app doesn't want to download the photos with ":" -markers. This is a bad bug. I didn't find any setting to adjust the structure of the photofiles name.

The number of entries in the view and graph do not match.
I would like the specifications to be changed so that the total number of entries in the view and the graph match.
