Add # of files to Box Hubs Report
Box Hubs fails if there are over 10,000 files linked to in the hub. It would be helpful to have a report that could report the total number of files available in a hub to help ensure we stay below this limit and/or if we exceed this limit, we can move content to a different hub and judge the impact of moving specific folders to better balance the load.
28 votesWe still plan to make this feature but it was deprioritized comparing to other features on our roadmap.

Content Insights reports cannot be output if there are restrictions on content creation.
(Japanese follows English)
There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
Currently, there are many cases in which system administrators are required to respond to requests, which places a heavy burden on both administrators and users, and hinders the use of content insights.
Please enable output even in tenants that have restrictions on content creation, such as specifying the report output destination or outputting to a local file.
コンテンツ作成の制限が入っているとコンテンツインサイトのレポートが出力出来ない
コンテンツインサイトのアクセス統計情報をエクスポートという機能がありますが、コンテンツ作成の制限をして第一レベルのフォルダの作成を禁止している場合は出力ができません。
現状だとシステム管理者に依頼を受けて対応するケースが多く、管理者、利用者とも負荷が大きく、コンテンツインサイトの活用の阻害となっています。
レポートの出力先を指定する、ローカルにファイル出力するなどコンテンツ作成の制限が入っているテナントでも出力できるようにしてください。28 votes -
Selecting files on the Box UI
I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

Using Box Sign for forms
It would be helpful to leverage Box Sign to fill out forms. Currently, Box Sign does not allow for the Sign process to proceed unless a signature field is dropped into the document. We have a scenario where we wanted to have someone fill out text fields with various information as a step before a signature is placed. Perhaps a separate feature called Box Forms which allows those fields to be dropped in and populated onto a document before it gets to Sign?

Comment Reply Thread and integration with Office Comments
I have recently had to stop people from using the Box comment feature, as it was adding unnecessary tasks to my workflow, because it does not allow the author to respond to comments, and when i open a word document to edit, the comments disappear. Commenting feature needs to integrate with Office in order to be useful for reviewing MS office documents. As the author i 'must' be able to respond, and close comments, AND when i open the document for edit, i MUST be able to see the comments. The MS Office comment feature is fantastic and if Box…

Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents
Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents.
This is important for Search and Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)/Ethical Walls.
E.g. a Driver's License, Passport, etc. image gets uploaded, then Box DLP doesn't recognize this today.

Allow me to set default sorting to alphabetical anywhere
Please, pretty please — allow me to set default sort of folder contents to alphabetical within a folder, for any folder. Should be an option under Settings for the folder.
I have folders numbered for steps in a publication process, and I have to click "Name" every single *#$% time I display the folder list because it defaults to most recent. I may need to access any step in the process at any point in time; recent is USELESS to me. This is sooooo cognitively draining because I am touching dozens to 100s of files a day.
Note: this is…

Date and Time of uploading file on BOX
Hi! I was faced with the problem of file date uploading on display on BOX.
I know that usually, BOX shows "Today" or "Yesterday" if the file was uploaded to BOX today or yesterday. It's clear, but, I need to see the exact date displayed with numbers. For example, I want to see that the file was uploaded to BOX "18 of May, 2022" instead of "Today".
Moreover, I even can't see the time when the file was uploaded to BOX. I work with the client in different time zones (the difference is 10 hrs) and sometimes it is really…

Set "SSO Required"/"SSO Enabled" for each user
The current "SSO Required" is for all managed users.
When creating "administrator user and general user" as a managed user, there are the following problems.
-It is necessary to create an administrator user ID on the IdP side.
-When accessing as an administrative user, it takes time and effort to log in from the IdP and access Box.
-A license fee will also be charged on the IdP side.If we can set "SSO required" and "SSO enabled" for each user, the problem will be solved.

Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"
To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.
28 votesThank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

Disable Folder Rename capability
I would like to have a Folder properties setting to disable Folder Rename (even for Editors).
I was testing setting up departmental folders to replicate our group file server. I want all members of the department to be able to add/remove/delete files in their folder. I was able to do that by assigning them the editor role, but that allows them to change the root level folder name. Is there a way to prevent that?
For instance, I create folders for accounting, finance, etc. I want those folders to keep the names I set and I do not want the…

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.

Ability to tie one BoxEID to a specific microsoft365 tenant.
When I add and activate Microsoft Power Automate to the Box app, it can be linked to multiple microsoft365 tenants.
We would like BoxEID to be linked to a microsoft365 tenant and only be available in specific environments.In Japanese:
Microsoft Power AutomateをBoxのアプリに追加して有効化すると、
複数のmicrosoft365テナントと連携ができてしまいます。
BoxEIDとmicrosoft365テナントを結び付けて、特定環境でのみ利用ができるようにしてほしいです。27 votes -
In Excel Preview - Ability to Sum up a total of a column
Since we can already click on and highlight cells in an Excel file in Preview mode on Box, I would love the functionality of being able to highlight and get a Total (Sum) of cells that is displayed in Preview mode without having to Open or Download the file.

Global Metadata Variable
Provide functionality for metadata variables to be referenced globally within other metadata templates.
For example, company regions change annually. If we need to add a new region (South) to our current regions (Central, East, West), we have to update each individual template with a region field. It would be ideal if we could update the regions in one global variable that can then be referenced in all metadata templates. This process today is time consuming, decentralized, and error prone.
27 votesWhile we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.
