Search on metadata multi-select fields
For example, if a customer tags a file with the "Department" key and the values: "Finance" and "HR." "Department" does not appear in the Box UI search bar as a metadata filter option b/c it is multi-select.
79 votesWe have released the ability to search over Metadata multi select fields on the web. Here is a link to the community post: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057067553-Search-Metadata-multi-select-fields. You can also search over such fields using the API: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-search/#param-mdfilters.
Documents uploaded/updated with MD multi select fields from this point going forward will be searchable via that field. Previously uploaded documents with MD multi-select fields will soon be searchable via those fields (backfill is in progress).

Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)
Use Case:
- There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
- This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
- Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folderCurrently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:
Option 1:
Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
Export the report
Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column
This requires…78 votes -

Update Box Sign font and style
Right now the default signature font is much smaller than the date field and the signatures are, to be frank, childish looking. Just give me a boring monospaced font + date, maybe a watermark so that it looks professional. I feel like I'm going to be laughed at if I try and present this as an alternative to Adobe Sign or Docusign as it is now.

Grid View - Bring Back The Slider (adjusts the image size previews in Grid View)
Recent changes to the Grid View noted here, https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/10117683547539-List-view-and-grid-view-enhancements, have removed a key feature that had become part of my companies workflows.
Prior to this update, the Grid View had an slider next to the button we use to toggle between the Grid and List views. Today, that slider is gone.
Now the ONLY way to view the Grid is as thumbnails. My company of 500+ uses Box daily and a BIG part of our workflows relies on this feature. We never imagined this would be removed and it is causing us to discuss alternative options. We are an…

Box Sign needs Clickable Link Feature
Box Sign should allow for clickable links within documents out for signature. Our contracts have a link that direct to online T's & C's. I'd migrate over to Box Sign today if that was a feature.

Allow default sorting to "Favorites" and created "Collections" so that they appear alphabetically.
If you have dozens or hundreds of folders in your "Favorites" and they are not sorted alphabetically, then it is nearly impossible to find your subject folder. Just make Favorites and Collections default sort alphabetically or give us the choice to set the default. Other people may want the last visited folder to be at the top, but still others may want to see it alphabetically. Please give us the option to do so as a default treatment.
58 votesThanks for the feedback. Favorites and collections are now sorted alphabetically in the left sidebar.

Notification when someone is editing a file
Since we don't have an option to check-in/check-out of files, can you add a feature like Dropbox's badge which alerts a user when someone else is editing a file so we prevent any simultaneous version history/editing issues?
58 votesWe have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.
We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Box Sign: bulk send the same template to multiple recipients at once (e.g. all employees have to sign annual benefits acknowledgment)
Box Sign: bulk send the same template to multiple recipients at once (e.g. all employees have to sign annual benefits acknowledgment)
56 votesWe have released the 'batch send' capability in Box Sign.
This enables senders to send signature requests in bulk by uploading a spreadsheet of contacts and specifying the document. Box Sign will then send out a unique invite to everyone listed in the spreadsheet.
The batch send feature is available on the Box Enterprise Plus plan.
This helps address high-volume business processes including:
- Internal processes like HR sending a building entry form that needs to be signed by all employees working in a facility, or annually acknowledging they they have received and read the employee handbook
- External processes like Legal having to send a notice/addendum to all customers regarding an update on contract language.
For more info, please see Using batch send templates

Edit Box files directly in Teams
When files are stored directly inside of Teams, you can click on these files and “Edit in Teams” directly. If you click on files sourced from Box, however, you get an ugly preview of the file and have to navigate to Box in order to make edits, which is a clunky experience.
Doing this will require Box to inherit sharing rules as defined in Teams. In other words, I should be allowed to at least view if not edit files shared with me in Teams, even if I don't have access to the underlying folder in Box. Perhaps it could…

Menus are cut off and unusable
When I select one of the files closest to the top of the list, the menu options for "open with" and sometimes "download" are cut off. No matter how I resize my screen I can't reach those menu items. This is an issue across multiple computers, usually using Chrome.

relay folder event in several folders
When You create a Relay automation You only have the possibility to manager an event folder in one folder. If You need the same scenario in other folders, You have to duplicate the stream as many times You have needed folders.
The best way is to get the possibility to choose all folders You need the same event with the same scenario in one shot and not be polluted with x time the same one only because the event has to be trapped in another folder.49 votesDelivered for Manual Start feature to cascade to subfolders.

Add initials to the "Signatures & Fields" menu in Box Sign
Many documents (e.g. Wills, contracts) require the signer to initial each page to confirm that they have read and agree with the content of that page. It's also common to have a signer initial a section of a document to confirm that they have read and agree with that section. A typical workflow requires the signer to initial a document one or more times, then sign the document.
