Push information on AD information in Box Drive for first time login (e.g. tenant name)
To allow for configuration that allows Box Drive to understand that the first authentication should be against the client's SSO provider, rather than prompting the user to enter their email address. Some options that were mentioned were to allow Box Drive to read a value containing the user's email address, or to configure Box Drive to launch a customer specific authentication page.

Do not allow users to complete a system logout or shutdown until all items are uploaded to Box.
We trying to leverage Box Drive to replace home drives for students. They are using Box Drive in their computer labs, but have recently reported that Box Drive will allow a user to log out (or shut down their computer) before all content has been uploaded to Box. I know we have a dialogue box associated with "in progress uploads" when logging out of the Box Drive application specifically. We are requesting an expansion of that logic to prevent users from completing a system logout or shutdown before Drive has a chance to sync all their files.

Event stream missing a share_level or similar attribute
By pulling the events with the API and comparing them, it appears both are missing a share_level or similar attribute. This attribute is also they can detect when users share files outside the company.

Collapsible folder tree/structure for Box Notes for Desktop
As mentioned in other feedback, right now only having "Recent", "Favorites", and "Inbox" as filters makes organizing and looking through notes difficult.
It would be interesting to either 1) integrate the user's folder tree in the Box Notes view or 2) have subfolders within "My Box Notes" show up as the structure.
May be related to PF-02982.

This feature is not planned for the first half of this year as we improve usability of the existing Managed Users page. We will revisit this feature request in the second half of the year and as more customers demand this type of report.

Box Search Returns Partial-Match Results — Unable to Search for Exact Folder/File Name Only
Summary: When a user searches for a term in Box that is also a substring of another folder or file name, Box returns both the exact match and the partial matches in the search results. There is currently no way to perform an exact-match-only search in Box, which makes it difficult for users to isolate specific content when similarly named items exist.
Problem Description: Box search uses partial/substring matching by default. When a user types a search term, Box returns all items whose names contain that term — not just items whose names exactly equal the term. This behavior cannot…

Distinguish “Content Access” and “Download” events
In the User Activity Report (and related activity logs), “Content Access” and “Download” events currently do not clearly distinguish between:
1) Actions explicitly initiated by an end user, and
2) Records generated by Box internal processing (e.g., system/background processing, thumbnail generation, programmatic/chunked access, or other non-user-facing operations).
As a result, admins cannot reliably interpret audit logs for security monitoring, compliance, and incident investigation. False positives or ambiguous records make it difficult to determine what a user actually did.
Request:
Please enhance the User Activity Report / activity log records for “Content Access” and “Download” so that user-initiated actions and Box-internal…2 votes -
Feature Request: Add File Size Sorting Option to Box Search Results
Currently, Box's search results page does not offer the ability to sort results by file size. Users have a need to sort search results by file size, particularly for identifying large files or managing storage. We request the addition of a "File Size (ascending/descending)" sorting option to the search results page.

Feature Request: Display Per-Folder Result Count in Box Search
Currently, Box's search results page does not provide a breakdown of how many files match a search query within each folder. This makes it difficult for users to identify which folders contain the most relevant results and to efficiently locate target files. We request the addition of a feature that categorizes search results by folder and displays the number of hits per folder.

Create folders during file moves or copies
Create folders during file moves or copies:
User pain point: When moving or copying a file, users cannot create a new destination folder directly from the move/copy dialog. They have to cancel or leave the action, create the folder beforehand, and then restart the move or copy process.Requested improvement: Add a “Create New Folder” option within the move and copy dialog, allowing users to create the destination folder without interrupting their current action.
Expected benefits:
- A smoother, more intuitive user journey
- Fewer unnecessary steps
- Time savings for users
- Improved overall experience when organising files.2 votes -
Align page numbering between Box browser preview and desktop app for PPT files
When previewing the same PPTX file in a browser versus opening it in the desktop app, the page numbering differs. The browser preview counts the cover page as page 1, while the desktop app does not count the cover page (the page after the cover becomes page 1).
PowerPoint itself has a setting to exclude the cover page from the page count, but Box's preview feature does not support this setting, causing a one-page offset between the two views.
This creates confusion in practice — for example, a reviewer referencing "page 35" based on the browser preview may find it…
