  1. Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.

    Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.
    (This is not same as the filter of "Items I owned" or "Items I deleted".)
    Currently we can use owner filtering when searching for content in the Trash.
    For further convenience, we need the feature to use filtering even for users who have deleted content.

  2. Show file/metadata info from Photoshop image files

    Photographers submit their images to our Box account for use in our publications. The industry standard is for professional photographers to add metadata like the photo credit and caption to each photo using the "File Info" tool in Photoshop. Unfortunately, after doing so and then uploading the images to Box, the metadata added in Photoshop is not visible in Box's metadata section. Please consider exposing this info under "details" or "metadata."

    Extra credit: Allow us to edit that same metadata in Box. Doing so would allow the correct credit and caption info to flow into our InDesign layouts. Saving lots…

    How important is this to you?

    While we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

  3. Box for Teams v2: Bunch of files will be shown when the files has shared in direct chat

    When the files has shared in the direct chat, it will be uploaded in "Microsoft Teams Chat Files" folder on sender side, on the other hand, for the receiver side, files will be listed in the top directory, which leads to list bunch of files in the top directory.

    It would be nice, if the new folder will be created for the each chat under "Microsoft Teams Chat Files" folder and add collaboration for the folder when the direct chat has started.

  4. Tags

    I'd like to see Box further realize and exploit the power of tags. From what I have seen, Box has only utilized the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tags. Below is a list of capabilities that would be amazing to use!

    • Tag Viewer: a place to manage, rename, delete tags, and more.
    • Tags appear and clickable in search results
    • Ability to tag document in editor

    I’ve been a devout Evernote user for years and they have a strong tag game. Evernote has been the backbone of my business for 10 years, and tags are the backbone of…

  6. Being able to sort by created date instead of modified\updated.

    Would be super helpful for people storing photos. If we snap a photo on our phone and then upload it to box in bulk, the date the picture was brought into box is the date shown. It would be nice to sort by file created date. You already have this date in the "file information" section when you right click on a file. Please make this available and let me know. Please please please.

    thanks

    Natalie.

  7. Automatically remove external collaborators at the folder level

    We want the ability to automatically remove external collaborators after a certain period of time, and we want to be able to customize this depending on the folder in question.

    Currently, we can expire external collaborators at the global Enterprise level but this behavior isn't desirable across all folders.

    We want to be able to set external collab expiration at the folder level with the ability for different folders to have different expiration periods when the collaborators would be automatically removed.

    Thanks for the feedback! However, this is an edge use case which would add complexity to the product. We will review this with additional demand.

  8. Right-click on a file to open in a new tab.

    We need an easy way to open multiple tabs for a file. Our writers want to be able to right-click a file name in Box and choose to open in a new tab or window.

  11. Folder Level Setting to Enable Office Online

    It would be outstanding if Box could enable some intelligence around editing office documents, and/or have a switch you could set to only allow designated files to be editable via Office Online. That way no one could accidentally step on changes to a file that someone else made, or cause a conflict which has to be manually resolved. This would be a real big win. And when I say designated files, I mean in a folder not across Box for all of us certain file type.

  12. Improve the searching capabilities within the Box webapp and Box Drive

    -Display the number of search results hits
    -Save search results (query and results)
    -Run search again and show differences since the last search (this is helpful to see what's been added or removed since the last time the search was run)
    Include all filte

  14. Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address

    This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.

    Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.

    This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via SAML).

    This feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.

    Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.

  15. Notes Desktop App - Provide .MSI / .DMG / .PKG Installers

    REQUEST: Provide admin installers (specifically .pkg, .dmg, and .msi) so that large enterprises can take advantage of the Box Notes desktop app.

  16. Bulk grant and remove permissions to Box Hub.

    When BoxHubs is managed by an administrator, it is necessary to be able to grant or revoke access permissions to BoxHubs in bulk in order to manage users who can access BoxHubs.
    The current functionality requires granting access permissions to a large number of BoxHubs, which would be too time-consuming to do manually.
    For example, a tenant using BoxHubs manages around 80 to 100 BoxHubs,
    It would take too much time and effort to do all of this manually, one by one.

    [日本語訳]
    BoxHubsを管理者にて管理している場合に、BoxHubsへアクセスできるユーザー管理を行う目的で、
    BoxHubsへのアクセス権限を一括で付与または権限の削除を行えるようにしたい。
    現在の機能では多数のBoxHubsに対しアクセス権限の付与が必要になり、手作業で行うには工数がかかりすぎてしまう。
    一例として、BoxHubsを活用しているテナントでは80~100程のBoxHubsを活用し管理を行っているため、
    これらをすべて手動で一つ一つ手作業で行うには工数がかかりすぎる。

  17. We want to use "YYYY MM DD" format for Box Relay date variables

    When entering dates as variables in Box Relay, it is inconvenient that the only formats available are "MM YYYY" or "MM DD YYYY".
    We would like to be able to enter the date in the "YYYY MM DD" format.

    Box Relayの日付変数の形式に「YYYY MM DD」を使いたい

    Box Relayで日付を変数で入力する際に、「MM YYYY」や「MM DD YYYY」のなどの形式しかないのは不便です。「YYYY MM DD」の形式でも入力できるようにしてほしい。

  18. Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile

    For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
    - be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.

    - be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
    - those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.

    Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access…

  19. Editing Box Hubs: Adding a description to a file or folder

    I'd like to be able to add a short description to each file and folder I add to the Hub.
    For example, a description is added just below the file or folder icon, or a speech bubble appears when you hover the cursor over the file or folder icon.

    This suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release. 

  20. To terminate a document management system and manage documents only with Box.

    Currently, version control is possible only on a single file basis.

    For document management, version control is necessary to manage mulitple files as a single content.

    (in Japanese)
    【文書管理システムを廃止してBoxのみで文書管理する】

    現在バージョン管理はファイルごとでしかできません。
    複数のファイルを一つのコンテンツとして管理できるバージョン管理が必要です。
