Searching for Folders and Moving files
Ever since the platform updated, it has become very difficult to move a file to a new folder by searching the folder name. I can search for the exact name of the folder and get a whole bunch of other files that aren't even close matches to the folder name. Before the changes we had no problem finding the correct folder.
I am primarily talking about our 30 INVOICES PAID folder. This folder probably contains several hundred folders for each of the vendors that we use, with additional folders for each year. If I want to move an invoice into…

Box for Outlook - Allow Configurable Setting that will autocovert an attachment to a link when over a certain size
Sharefile's Outlook add-in allowed for you to define a size threshold for attachments. When that threshold was reached, it would automatically upload the attachments to Sharefile and then insert the link to the file(s)
This feature made it simple to share larger documents, or multiple documents that would cause bounce-back emails for trying to send an email with too large of size. This was also much quicker than taking the time to create a new folder, upload the documents, then attach the links for those documents to the email.
I understand that this would require some other types of decisions…

Please review the reordering of menu items and consider using a pop-up display.
Because “Hide this folder,” “Share,” and “Update folder” are arranged vertically, users are more likely to click the wrong option during operation.
In particular, a user trying to select “Share” may accidentally click “Hide,” causing the folder to disappear from the list and making it difficult to tell whether the folder was deleted by mistake or merely hidden.
In addition, because no confirmation pop-up (reconfirmation message) is shown when “Hide” is clicked, there is insufficient protection to prevent accidental actions.3 votes -

I want to reuse the content entered in File Request as a task message
We are running tasks in a Relay workflow, triggered by uploads via File Request.
In Box’s current specifications, the “file description” entered by users in the File Request form is saved in the file’s description field in its properties after upload.
However, when the Relay workflow starts, the message sent to the task assignee is the one configured in Relay. This message is recorded under the file’s “Activity,” but we also need to check the description field in the file properties, which means switching views and creates extra work.
If there were a feature that allowed us to set the…

Suggested Prompts with Custom Agent in the Box App for iOS and Android
Currently the AI feature of the Box App for iOS and Android does not include customized suggested prompts with custom agents. I would like to have suggested prompts available on custom agents in the Box App. We've created several custom agents with unique suggested prompts. Without access to these prompts in the Box App, it limits its usefulness to us, or at least requires more effort from the end-user to retrieve what they need.

Feature Request: Increase Prompt Length Limit for AI Ask Prompt API
Hi Box Team,
We are using the AI Ask Prompt API (post-ai-askprompt), and the current 10,000-character prompt length limit is proving to be too restrictive for practical AI use cases.
Reference: https://developer.box.com/reference/post-ai-askprompt
Many scenarios—such as working with long documents, adding sufficient context, or giving detailed instructions—require longer prompts. With the current limit, important context must be truncated, which often reduces response quality.
Request: Increase the maximum prompt length
Expanding this limit would significantly improve the usability and value of Box AI for developers and enterprise workflows.
Thank you for considering this feedback.

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…3 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…

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

Shield - Download and Navigate to a file directly from a Malicious Content Shield Alert
For the Malicious Content rule, it should be possible to download a malicious file directly from a Shield Alert for sandboxing without having to search for it.
Also, an admin who has Content Manager access should be able to click a button within the alert and navigate to the file in the Content Manager to manage it.

Cannot select text in Box preview screen
When previewing a file, attempting to select text within the file results in a state where a yellow frame is being specified instead, making it impossible to select the text. I would like this to be fixed so that text selection is possible.

Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages.
Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages. Customers often want to just use box extract to load documents and skip the indexing. These documents can be large, 100 pages, 500 pages, etc, but the indexing information may be only on the first 3 pages that is required. This request is to incorporate a way to limit how many pages box extract runs against per folder, or per metadata set, per Extract Agent. The key is when I upload a 1000 page document, I don't want that to eat up 1000 AI…

Match between Box AI for Hubs answers and reference information
The reference information displayed in the responses of Box AI for Hubs is sometimes inaccurate, and the links between the response content and the reference information may differ.
Since I went to the trouble of asking a question, if the link to the file is different, I have to search for the file within Hubs, so I want the accuracy improved so that the answer content and the reference link match.-in Japanese-
Box AI for Hubsの回答で表示される参考情報の精度が低く、回答内容と参考情報のリンクが異なっていることがあります。せっかく質問したのにファイルへのリンクが異なっているとHubsの中からファイルを探さなくてはいけないので、回答内容と参考情報のリンクが合致するように精度をあげてほしい。3 votes -
Box for Office and co-authoring
Co-authoring and Box for Office each create "places" in Office applications, which is confusing to the end user. Per Box Support, files opened via the Box For Office integration cannot be co-authored.
The Box for Office integration includes Office ribbon icons, more intuitive file open/save workflows, and has been part of the Box integration environment for years. Consider either improving the UI of the "Place" created by the co-authoring integration or allowing co-authoring on content opened via the Box for Office integration.

Filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated in the user detail report.
Content:
Currently, the user detail report cannot filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated,
and it is necessary to check while cross-referencing with the user list on the Users and Groups screen.
Additionally, the unmanaged user list on the Users and Groups screen can take up to 24 hours to reflect changes,
which may cause discrepancies with the information at the time of report output, reducing operational efficiency.
I request the implementation of a feature that can filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated.(日本語)
タイトル： ユーザー詳細レポートで、コラボレーションされていない管理されていないユーザーをフィルタリングする。
内容：
現在のユーザーの詳細レポートでは、コラボレーションされていない管理対象ユーザーをフィルタできず、
ユーザーとグループ画面のユーザー一覧と照らし合わせながら確認する必要があります。
また、ユーザーとグループ画面の管理対象外ユーザー一覧は反映までに最大24時間かかるため、
レポート出力時の情報と差異が発生する可能性があり、業務効率が低下します。

Masking Sensitive Fields in a Box Form
Posting a customer feature request:
Box to mask the field while the person is filling out the Box form. (i.e. Right after the SSN field is inputted, the Form field automatically gets masked).
Also requesting to have the fields masked in viewing a form submission within Box.
Ideally when building out the form, we can have a checklist next to the field indicating "mask for sensitivity" or something like that.

Integrated Chat Functionality (Native to Box)
Our audience is mostly external partners, all who use disparate communication platforms like Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Zoom, etc. Integrating a single third-party chat option into our Box Hubs environment risks alienating some of our external partners who are unable to use that specific platform due to their organization’s IT guidelines. It would be beneficial to have a native, lightweight and persistent chat area within our Box Hubs environment (maybe as a side panel similar to Box AI) that would allow users to communicate immediately about content and projects and ask questions without having to leave the Box environment.
