Reporting on Task Completion/Incompletion
Use Case: Customer sends Approval Tasks to clients. It's challenging to view in one report which tasks have been completed and which tasks are outstanding. While this information can be gathered from the User Activity report, it's really challenging to use because that report lists: task created, task assigned and task updated as three separate entries. It's challenging to link these three lines under the same task and know which ones are still outstanding.

Box Relay: Allow File Requests to be "returned" and resubmitted
It would be great if Box Relay had a feature for workflows triggered by a File Request to be "returned" for edits. The Workflow Starter could revise and resubmit their files without seeing other applicants submissions within the same submission folder or resubmit to the same file request link and overwrite their previous version.
Right now they have to resubmit and their original version is retained. The resubmission would overwrite the old version so there aren't two or more separate versions within a given folder. It is confusing for committees who go through many rounds of revision to have multiple…

Enable ability to customize the notification that is triggered during a Box Relay workflow
Enable ability to customize the notification that is triggered during a Box Relay workflow.
E.g. if an approval task is approved, I want to notify whoever submitted the content for approval AND potentially other relevant parties that their submission was approved, but I also want to potentially customize the notification (e.g. it was approved for x, y, and z reasons).
E.g. if an approval task is denied, I want to notify whoever submitted the content for approval AND potentially other relevant parties that their submission was denied, but I also want to potentially customize the notification (e.g. it was denied…

View Owner/Creator of Files in Box Drive
We would like the ability to display accurate information about the Owner/creator of files within Box Drive for Windows. The Owner column in Windows was used prior to our migration to Box to show who originally created the file for a folder all in a single glance. Although Box.com shows the upload history of individual files, it's a manual process of viewing each file-- a pain point-- compared to the table view of File Explorer with the Owner column displaying. Currently, within Box Drive/File Explorer, the Owner column is empty. This would be useful for the users to know who…

Please add an option to use the name of the "manually" created main folder(that starts the relay workflow) as a prefix/suffix for the subfolders created automatically by relay.

To be able to TAG documents using keyboard shortcut
I would like to be able to assign shortcuts to functions in box both in the dashboard view and in the document review. Tagging a document takes too many steps and too many mouse clicks to do which defeats the purpose of using tags. A TAG icon on the right side menu along with the metadata icon would also be nice to have to be able to TAG documents faster.

Add account info to Box application window
One of our users recently asked the following:
"In the Box drive alert window, the Box Drive Settings gear icon doesn't
do anything useful. Please add an actual settings window with basic
information like file space used, buttons for pause/restart syncing, etc.The Box Drive window is an alert style window that disappears anytime a
mouse is clicked or any other window is interacted with. This is the
case in Windows 7 through Windows 11. It would be better if Box Drive
had an actual application window like most other apps."I know that manual syncing isn't possible yet in…

Default Shared link should be settable at the Folder level for all new links
Request the ability to set the default shared link permissions at the folder level for all files/folders in that folder.
Eg. We have a clients folder that we want to be able to share with clients outside of our organization. Many of our designers use the box desktop application and pull shared links by right-clicking and pulling directly from the finder. However, since our entire account's default link sharing permissions is only invitees, that link can't be used for external users without going to the browser and changing the link permissions manually for every file they pull. We want to…

Redirect for URL Should Always Fire After Box Subdomain Change
After changing your Box subdomain, the URL redirect should always fire, regardless of logged in status, sharing permissions on the file, etc. Currently, it will not fire if the file is shared with "anyone with the link" and the user is logged into their Box account.

Report changes in the date of automatic deletion of folders
Operations that set an auto-delete date for a folder will appear in the report, but operations that changed the auto-delete date is not.
If the date is changed by someone to an earlier date than the originally set deletion date, the folder may be deleted without others being aware of the change in the deletion date.
In that case, you need to check the change history in the report to know which user made the change.
However, we cannot know this unless the change in the automatic deletion date is output to the report.2 votes -
Permission expansion - excluding folder management
I’d love a “File manager” permission that doesn’t include Folder management capabilities.
We have a large folder structure that I need to allow our users to have Editor permissions to for them to properly do their job. My issue is that it is CRITICAL that the folder structure doesn't change.2 votes -
Reporting on admin 'log in as' feature
For security reasons it would be useful for Box to be able to report on all admin activity, in particular when admins use the 'log in as' feature to view a user's files, so we can see a list of which users 'logged in as' which users and when, to ensure the feature is being used appropriately.

Search Engine should run on the displayed dates rather than the API dates
Box's search queries do not go off of the same date displayed to end users in the WebApp. The Modified Date seen in the WebApp is different than the API field “modified_at” that the search tool goes off of. From a user’s viewpoint, the date is the date, so using two separate date fields for the same product is confusing to end users. This is a request to ensure both of these fields align.
