About the inconvenience of Explorer-style display
When I open a folder and find that it doesn’t contain what I’m looking for, I press Backspace to return to the parent folder. However, in Explorer view, the folder I just opened ends up hidden just above the visible area. This is extremely inconvenient.
Why does the system place the folder I just opened in a position where it’s hidden above? It would make sense to keep the previous window state as it was, or at least move the recently opened folder to the top of the visible list. But hiding it above makes no sense at all. Please…1 vote -

Zones assigned on folder instead of user
Hi Team,
I have a customer who is interested in folder level zones assignment instead of folder owner. They are currently using the service accounts for each zones and sharing the content that way but customer ideally wants it to be folder based (ie. one user to have folders associated with different zones since their lawyers work with content across multiple regions).Is there perhaps something coming to the roadmap?

Internal links to documents for collaboration
We use Box Drive for a native experience for users to access documents. The downside is when collaborating on documents, most people tend to upload a copy of the document to an email and send it, which results in multiple versions of the document. On my prior document system, Outlook would allow users to upload a file that was actually a link to the stored document so people could collaborate on it. I know we could create/send a shared link, but this would result in alot of unnecessary links floating around. Could Box Drive/Outlook prompt to upload a link to…

Enabling Document Tab creation in a Box G Doc.
Currently when creating a GDoc from box there is no ability to create Document Tabs, and it advises to save the doc as a GDoc, which is technically already the file format. Can this feature be enabled? It would be useful for project management without our company.

More user-controlled settings (organizational and other)
Allow users to set default sorting method. E.g., I can choose to have files always appear in alphabetical order.
Furthermore, allow users any controls they would have with a regular file explorer. I genuinely don't understand why my workplace wants me to use Box: File Explorer But Worse Somehow™
Let users control their UI. It was reality a mere decade ago and now every company tries to obscure choice beyond reason. It's frustrating. We want our controls back.1 vote -

It would be useful to be able to exclude certain users (such as Admins) from the Notifications (specifically for downloads) so that the user does not get a notice. Example use case is in a DLP investigation or tools used, triggers a notice which we may not want visible to that end user.

Request for improvement of the event where the cell date is different when previewing an Excel file
In Excel, if you enter a date in a cell with a custom format, a different date will be displayed when viewed with previewer permissions.
For example, if you enter "2026/1/1", if you check it with the previewer permission, it will be displayed as "2026/10/12".
This event is described below.Introducing Box Preview – Box Support
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195013-Introducing-Box-Preview“Date values with the custom format "yyyy/m/d (aaa)" may show incorrect dates. This is due to a bug in the library that Box Content Preview has a dependency on. The workaround is to use a different format such as "yyyy/m/d (ddd)" or "yyyy/m/d".”

Addition of Hong Kong Region
Some customers expanding their business in China or neighboring regions require a local data center for operational and compliance reasons. Adding a Hong Kong region would potentially broaden both customer usage and our proposal opportunities in these markets.

Request to automate shared link generation upon file upload
A customer regularly uploads files into multiple folders (with different locations and hierarchy levels) and then has to generate a shared link for each file. Currently, they need to create each link manually, which is quite time-consuming.
It would be very helpful if features such as Relay could automate this process by automatically generating shared links for uploaded files and sending notifications with created links

Support streaming uploads or appendable upload sessions (unknown final size)
I have a use case where data is generated continuously (sensor readings). I want to build a file in Box by streaming bytes over time and then finalizing the file when the session ends.
Currently, Box’s chunked upload API requires specifying a file_size up front and mandates a fixed total in each Content-Range header. This prevents uploading content when the final size is not known at the start of the session.
Request:
Add support for a streaming or appendable upload workflow, where:- A client can create an upload session without knowing the final file size
- Chunks can be uploaded incrementally…

Couldn't see full group name
When collaborating, if the group name is long,
the part that doesn't fit in the UI gets truncated.
Is it possible to improve the UI so that the entire group name is displayed?
This happens both when collaborating and when viewing the collaboration list.ーーーーーーーーーーー

Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages.
Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages. Customers often want to just use box extract to load documents and skip the indexing. These documents can be large, 100 pages, 500 pages, etc, but the indexing information may be only on the first 3 pages that is required. This request is to incorporate a way to limit how many pages box extract runs against per folder, or per metadata set, per Extract Agent. The key is when I upload a 1000 page document, I don't want that to eat up 1000 AI…

Display by name, Alphabetical as a Default. Necessary for our business!
It is 100% Necessary for our file Storage and Sharing needs for files to show up alphabetically BY DEFAULT. We just transferred over from Dropbox, and this is really annoying and a waste of time to have to set viewing each time we log in, and when we share files to have to explain to customers how to set their display. Display by name alphabetical should not only be an option, but a Default. Please make this available immediately. Our business model and client sharing workflow success depends on this. Thank you for implementing right away

Collaborator Permission Levels: Editable, No Downloadable
From a security standpoint, I would like the ability to edit in the desktop app but not download.
Now, if you can edit it, you can also download it.
セキュリティの観点から、 「デスクトップアプリでの編集は可能だが、ファイルのダウンロードは不可」という権限の提供をご検討いただきたく。
現状、 編集が可能な場合は ダウンロードが可能な権限のみとなる認識です。ご検討いただけますと幸いです。

Share multiple files at once
Currently, you can only share one folder/file at a time. Not a smooth process.
