Increase the 10,000 Limit for Groups
Currently if you create more than 10,000 groups, the groups at the bottom of the list alphabetically cannot be searched for when creating a collaboration.
38 votesThis is definitely something that we want to do. However, it is a long term project that will take us more than a year. Marking as ‘not planned’ for now but will update the status once we have more details.

Password Protected Folders
Would love to be able to password protect certain folders within an unprotected folder. Since permissions "waterfall", I am unable to have a private folder within a public one. After reading the forums, this would be a very useful and widely used feature for businesses who want to limit access to folders to certain groups.

Report on installed Box Drive versions by user
Need a report admins can run that will show all users who have ever used Drive and what the last version of Drive they last used was. Ideally there is a Device ID or Device Name as well.
Use Case - Often admins do not have a device management system which would be used to run this report. Without that system in place OR without all devices being managed under it, admins have no visibility into what software is installed on their unmanaged users machines. Box won't be able to tell them all users who have it installed (if it…

Office Online Only Setting
A setting that folder owners could implement that makes it so the document can only be opened/edited with Office Online.
38 votesShield's download and print restrictions can prevent non owner/co-owner collaborators from downloading sensitive content based on classification and still allow them to open/edit the file with Office Online.

Real-time security dashboard
We want a realtime dashboard that shows flow and actions around content. Would give security researchers insight into security events happening in their instance.

Mobile Editing via Google Docs/Sheets/Slides Apps
We would like the Box + Google integration to natively support editing of Google Docs/Sheets/Slides via the existing Google mobile apps for Docs/Sheets/Slides.
38 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap.

Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To
As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).
38 votesFolder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.

Box for Office integration with Mac OSX
We would like Box for Office desktop integration w/Mac OSX. Some use the web apps for o365. Some use Office 2016 for mac that connects into o365.
38 votesThe Box for Office integration is not available on Mac due to technical limitations, but we do already support a native Mac Outlook integration with Box: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-for-Outlook/Installing-Enabling-and-Disabling-Box-for-Outlook/ta-p/66374

External Notification Support
Allow for notifications to be sent to external (non-box users) partners, vendors, submitters, etc as part of an automate workflow.
Box Forms and File Request allow for seamless ingestion of content and metadata but does not allow for an easy way to update those submitters after their document has been ingested. Many times there is a formal internal review process where a submitter would want to receive an email notification as the document or application moves through the review process inside of Box.
Example use cases: notifying an external submitter that their submission has been rejected after an internal approval…

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。37 votes -
Add Ability to Duplicate an Existing Box Form
Please add a feature that allows users to duplicate an existing Box Form, including all fields, structure, metadata mappings, and settings. Users should be able to clone a form, rename it, and make edits without rebuilding from scratch.
Why This Matters
Saves significant time when creating similar forms across departments, programs, or agencies.
Reduces errors by ensuring consistent fields, metadata, and logic across related forms.
Enables scalable templates, especially for public sector workflows like procurement, HR, inspections, grants, benefits, and compliance.
Accelerates PS SE and customer builds, allowing faster demos, labs, and solution rollouts.
Supports versioning needs, since agencies routinely…

【New UI】 Ability to limit authorization settings by co-administrators.
After the change to the new UI, co-administrators are no longer able to grant or revoke co-administrator privileges to other users for security reasons.
Some users have voiced a lack of convenience because they are no longer able to do things that were previously possible with co-administrator authority.
We would like to see a restriction feature added to allow operation only by some co-administrators.新UIに変更後、セキュリティ強化の観点から共同管理者では他ユーザーに対し共同管理者権限の付与や剥奪の操作が行えなくなっています。
これまで共同管理者権限で実施出来ていたことが出来なくなっているため利便性が欠けている声が上がっている。
一部の共同管理者のみ操作を可能にする制限機能を追加してほしいです。37 votes -
Add configuration option to hide the right-hand sidebar automatically
When a file is opened, the right-hand sidebar is open by default. My preference is to have it closed, so I must close it each time. Please add a configuration option that would allow for users to set that sidebar closed at startup by default.
37 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

"inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage
FEATURE IDEA:
Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.BENEFITS & BACKGROUND
During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).
Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or…
37 votesBox storage platform already has optimizations in place to intelligently detect active (most recently and frequently used) data, and migrate it to cost-effective tiers. Great suggestion though!

Custom Branding and Customized Email Notifications
- the from field
- the colors
- any logo
- the signature
37 votesThank you for this feedback. We currently do not have plans to expand custom branding to all emails. We will post updates to this thread if that changes in the future.

We do not have near-term plans to add this capability right now. You might be able to get a similar effect by using Device Trust on those endpoints and requiring a specific certificate on a device, which is limited to just those groups of users.

Tansfer Form Ownership
I would like the ability to transfer forms to other users. Reasons below:
If employees are going on extended leave or parental leave and someone else is in charge of managing these forms.
If initial set up is completed by an admin but then continually managed by another team.
I am told form ownership transferring will be available only on deletion of a user account in a future release but would like it to not be reliant on the deletion of a user.

Change the wording in the log in / Homepage
Could the wording on the home page be changed to read "Employee of..." instead of "Part of ...."? We share Box with external users and the wording is confusing as they are part of the company but do not work for it.

Canvas feature improvements
After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:
- Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
- Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
- Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
- Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
- Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…
