  1. Box for Mobile - Media Auto-Player

    It would be beneficial if there was a “music player” type feature of Box that would play through a folder with music / media tracks, as opposed to having to preview and play these one-by-one.

  2. Enable longer retention policies (Specifically 150 yr policy option)

    At USAA life Insurance we have many documents that need a longer retention policy of 150yrs and the longest you have available is 50 yrs. We have 2 million documents that we cannot apply a policy to because of this issue.

  3. Passwordless Authentication

    Authentication using security keys (passkeys/FIDO2) has been released. I think this is a very positive step forward.
    Currently, the process requires entering your Box ID and password, followed by inputting a physical key. It would be great if security keys alone could enable passwordless authentication.

    For SMS or Authenticator app authentication,
    requiring the sequence: ID input ⇒ OTP sent/entered ⇒ Box password input would also help counter dictionary-enhanced phishing (phishing aimed at understanding user password patterns, not necessarily targeting unauthorized Box logins).

    Additionally, using the Number Matching format for Authenticator app authentication offers higher phishing resistance and convenience compared to…

  4. Request to add a function to select target items for output in the Shared Link Report

    In the current Shared Link Report filters, it is not possible to specify the targets of the output items, such as files, folders, or Hubs.
    Since all shared link information is output, there are many items, and extracting the necessary information takes a significant amount of time.

    To reduce operational workload when performing an inventory of Box Hub shared links, we would like the ability to limit the output items to Hubs only.
    Therefore, we request the addition of a feature in the Shared Link Report filters that allows users to select the target types of items to be included…

  6. Rotate PDF files within Box Sign

    There is currently a feature request that is labelled as on the roadmap to be able to rotate/zoom PDFs in Box Preview. We are requesting that this feature also be implemented in Box Sign as it is a pain to have to open PDF files in Acrobat to just rotate them, then save them, then upload to Box Sign.

  7. Export Relay Workflows as a JSON file, and use JSON file for updating workflows

    Some customers have a large number of Relay Workflows that can be cumbersome to edit or update if changes to internal processes are made that affect a large number of flows. Having the option to download the JSON and edit that file, then reupload the JSON can allow them an easier way to make changes to existing workflows with bulk edits.

  8. Feature that allows sending emails only to specific collaborator

    We are inviting multiple users from different departments to specific folders.
    In our operations, we wish to notify specific users within the department about a regulation revision. However, the current system only allows sending notifications to all collaborators, making it impossible to target only specific users.
    We request the implementation of this feature to enhance convenience.

    所属先が異なる複数のユーザーを特定のフォルダに招待してます。
    業務の中で、一部の事業部内のユーザー向けに規定改定を周知したいと考えていますが、現時点でコラボレータ全員に送信する機能のみとなり、一部のユーザーのみに絞ることができません。
    利便性向上のため本機能の実現を希望します。

  9. 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…

  11. Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop

    Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).

    In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.

    It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

  12. 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.

  13. Regarding the file display when changing the BoxNotes URL from "note" to "file" BoxNotesのURLを"note"から"file"にした際のファイル表示について

    After sharing a Box Note, we want to set the shared URL to "file" instead of "note" to prevent editors from unintentionally modifying the content.
    However, the "file" view breaks the layout (the width becomes narrow), so currently, it cannot be used for sharing purposes.

    We request the ability to either select the display method after changing to "file" or to be able to expand it to full-width display.

    Our company uses Box Notes as a medium for sharing TIPS company-wide, but distributing the Box Note URL as "note" results in unintentional edits.
    Therefore, we request an improvement to the…

  14. Controlling Public Link Creation and Scope on a Per-Folder Basis

    In the folder settings for the top-level folder, shared link access is set to: "Only collaborators can access this folder via shared link" + "Folder only."
    While keeping this restriction on the top-level folder, we would like to be able to configure the following settings for its subfolders and the files within those subfolders:

    ・For each folder, configure whether public links can be created for the files in that folder
    ・For each folder, define which users are allowed to create public links for the files in that folder (e.g., managed users allowed, external users not allowed)

    Reason: As part of…

  15. Make the "Create New Collection" (+) button permanently visible

    I would like to request a UI change for My Collections. Currently, the "+" button to create a new collection only appears when hovering over the "Collections" section. I request that this button be made permanently visible.

    Reasoning:
    Based on our user behavior analysis using Pendo, we have found a strong correlation between My Collection usage and Box AI adoption. Users who utilize My Collections tend to become more proficient and active with Box AI.

    To improve the employee experience and drive Box AI usage, we want to provide in-app training using Pendo guides. However, because the "+" button is…

  16. Feature Request to Hide/Show Default BoxNotes Sidebar

    Content: When opening BoxNotes for the first time, the sidebar is displayed and open.
        Users who are not familiar with Box operations do not know how to hide the sidebar, which narrows the screen and makes it difficult to grasp the overall structure of the note, reducing work efficiency.
        We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows the tenant side to set the default sidebar to show/hide.

    件名:デフォルトのBoxNotesのサイドバーを非表示/表示にできる機能要望
    内容:初めてBoxNotesを開いた場合は、サイドバーが表示されて開かれます。
       Box操作に慣れていないユーザーはサイドバーを非表示にする方法がわからず、画面が狭くなるためノート全体の構造が把握しづらく作業効率が低下します。
       テナント側でデフォルトのサイドバーを表示/非表示に設定できる機能実装を希望します。

  17. Embedded images or Box Canvas Flow Charts

    It would be nice to be able to embed images directly into a Hub. Likewise it would be nice to be able to Box Canvas charts directly into a Hub instead of just a link.

  18. Add tag support for OSX files in Box Drive

    File color labels (tags) in OSX do not work on Box Drive.

    Competing cloud storage platforms (like Dropbox) easily handle this.

    In a MacOS team production workflow, tags are essential for production processes. Labels allow effortless communication to other team members on the status of file production. This is an industry-standard way of working which is totally broken in Box Drive.

    Please review the many MANY past requests for this feature in these forums. It is a long-standing issue that deserves attention!

  19. Consider making sections of a Box Hub linkable so you can share a specific section with a user’s instead of the entire hub.

    It would helpful to make specific areas of a Hub linkable to highlight specific sections. Thank you.

  20. Cannot permanently delete a file with a retention policy before its expiration date (immediately)

    Please enable immediate deletion for files that have a retention policy set for a specific period.

    Additionally, there is an issue where files remain accessible via shared links until the retention policy period expires, so we would like to request implementation of a feature that disables shared links for items that meet specific conditions.
    ===
    特定期間のリテンションポリシーが設定されたファイルに対し、即時削除が行なえるようにしてください。
    また、リテンションポリシーの期間満了までの間、共有リンクからアクセスできてしまう問題が発生していますので、特定の条件をもとに条件を満たしたアイテムの共有リンクを無効化する機能の実装を希望します。
