  1. I would like the display position of the "Hide this folder" menu on BoxDrive to be changed.

    The "Hide this folder" feature has been made possible on BoxDrive, but cases of accidental folder hiding due to misoperation have been occurring. We believe one of the reasons is that it is located among frequently used menus like "Share" and "Update folder."

    We hope for an improvement in changing the display position of the "Hide this folder" menu. Alternatively, it would be great if we could have a setting option to disable the "Hide this folder" menu altogether.

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

  2. clear notifications

    We need a notifications dashboard, similar to the task dashboard, where we can select all and mark complete. PLEASE!!! I have a ton of notifications that I've addressed but are still showing up in my "notifications" alert. I don't have time to go through them one-by-one to close them out. Please address issue ASAP.

  3. Hub-level Terms of Service gate (per client portal) with auditable acceptance

    Customers using Hubs as client/extranet portals need client-specific Terms of Service at the Hub level (not enterprise-wide). Many firms run multiple client portals, each with different legal terms, and they must be able to prove who accepted, when, and under what terms before granting access.

    Requested capability:
    Add a Hub/Portal-specific ToS “splash page” that requires users to Accept / Decline before viewing Hub content, with mandatory authentication and an audit trail.

  4. Custom Shared Link Control by User Type

    Admin ability to set global shared link settings by user type - such as no ability for a managed user to set a shared link to "anyone with the link" -- but admins and/or co-admins could set a shared link to be public (in the case of surfacing documentation externally). This could look like, under "Default access for shared links" setting in Admin Console, a new dropdown to allow for an override for co-admins or above, OR the ability to add specific users to an allowlist.

  5. Make it more clear to a user when they invite a company domain that does not have a Box account

    Customers have mirrored their email groups (example would be a company-all-hands@company.com email list) to Box Groups. Their users typically type in the email address itself in order to attempt to collab the group onto content, but since the email address is not associated with a user, and we can't tie an email address to a Box Group, it sends a pending invite to that email address to create an account (which won't get created and doesn't work).

    The request: I suspect linking an email address to a Box Group is a non-starter from a product standpoint. Because of that, we…

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. 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…

  10. I would like you to add a feature that prohibits the creation of free accounts using company-owned domains.

    Based on the following circumstances, it is desirable for system administrators to manage accounts, including license management:
    ① Creating free accounts using a company-owned domain requires time to integrate them with managed users.
    ② Since SSO is used, even if a free account is created, it cannot actually be used to access Box.

    以下の状況からライセンス管理を含めてシステム管理者がアカウントを管理する事が望ましい。
    ①会社所有ドメインでフリーアカウントを作成されると、管理対象ユーザーへの統合に時間を要する。
    ②SSOを採用しているので、フリーアカウントを作成しても実際にBoxを利用する事はできない。

  12. 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.

  13. 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。

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. Request for an option to enable or disable email notifications when sharing a Hub

    When sharing a Hub, I would like to be able to choose whether or not to send an email to the person I invited.
    This is because users are not used to receiving notification emails from Box and might perceive them as spam, which would prevent unnecessary inquiries from being made to the IT department.
    The addition of the Hub will be announced separately on the portal site, so I would like the Hub to be quietly added to the Hubs menu.

  20. 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。
