Taxonomy Lists in Box Forms
We create many Box Forms with the same dropdown lists. In our case one is the list of the properties we own/manage.
Having the ability to duplicate forms would be very helpful, but for us it would be even more helpful to create a Taxonomy list for forms so that it would be easy to add the dropdown to a form. It would also allow the dropdowns to be consistent, accurate and easy to change on all forms at once.
Thank you.

Change the Box Tools implementation to Native Messaging Hosts
Due to changes in Chromium’s security policy, communication with localhost is no longer trusted.
At present, the only secure way to enable communication between the web and a local environment is through Native Messaging Hosts.Using Native Messaging Hosts also eliminates the need for a constantly running background process, which helps reduce potential issues and improves stability.
For example, Dropbox adopted this approach several years ago.We strongly recommend that Box also migrate Box Tools to Native Messaging Hosts.

When deleting a file on the server, I would like to be able to see the status until the deletion is complete.
Also, when restoring a file from the Recycle Bin, I would like to be able to see the status until the restoration is complete. （ex. progress bar,,,）1 vote -
When viewed in Safari on an iPhone, the menu overlaps with the file name.
When viewed in Safari on an iPhone in portrait mode, the menu overlaps with the file name. In landscape mode, it is displayed correctly.
I’m sorry if this has already been mentioned. I can’t read English well, and this text is translated, so the wording may not be accurate.1 vote -

Box falsely claims a file is being edited
I need to rename a file. Box doesn't allow me to. Instead, it falsely claims the file is being edited. I have no open tabs anywhere where I am editing that file. Also, I know with certainty no one else is editing it right now.
The "idea" I have is: Box should behave and let me rename files. Gosh, some other vendors allow you to rename files while you're editing them. Unheard-of, I know. But a feature. Elsewhere.

Report on Auto‑Confirmation Issue During Japanese Input When Using Bulleted Lists (BoxCanvas)
I am using BoxCanvas and would like to report an issue related to text input.
After starting a bulleted or numbered list, if I type double‑byte characters and the IME enters the pre‑conversion state, the text is automatically confirmed and I cannot input it correctly（At that time, I was using Japanese input）. This behavior has already been resolved in BoxNotes.The pace of improvements to BoxCanvas, BoxNotes, and other features has been remarkable. I appreciate the Box team’s continuous efforts and look forward to future enhancements.

Ability for end users (non admins) to adjust metadata
As Box is evolving more into metadata driven workflows for digital asset library use cases, we need the ability for end users (non admins) to be able to adjust metadata templates specific to their use case or business unit. For example, we'd like to have a champion from Marketing be able to adjust JUST the metadata templates specific to their group, not any metadata templates related to Legal or Sales.

Shield alerting admins when users "download" from Box Drive
A customer is reporting difficulty using Box Shield’s Anomalous Download detection due to how downloads are currently defined when Box Drive is in use. Box Shield flags a “download” whenever a user expands or opens a folder in Box Drive. As a result, routine navigation actions are recorded as downloads, creating noise in the anomaly signals. The customer is asking whether anomalous download detection can be refined to trigger only on intentional file downloads (e.g., explicit download actions), rather than folder expansion or passive access via Box Drive.

Box Web
Currently, when previewing a file in Box, navigating to another file often requires leaving the preview or opening a new view, which disrupts the user’s workflow. Introducing an in-browser preview experience similar to Outlook’s email preview would represent a significant usability improvement.
Specifically, this enhancement would allow users to:
Open a file in a preview pane within the same browser window.
Seamlessly navigate between files (e.g., next / previous) without closing the preview.
Preserve folder context and file list visibility while reviewing content.
Avoid losing navigation state or opening additional windows or tabs.
Beyond general document review, this functionality would…

Prefer that it's not automatically set to "comment with time stamp" for video files
When commenting on a video file, the timestamp automatically comes on. It gets in the way. Our team don't use this feature. Can it be set to off? And when we decide to use the time stamp feature, we can toggle it on.
Sometimes we just need to comment back and forth without actually using the time stamp. Thanks!

Better Reporting Experience, Especially for Clients in Highly Regulated Environments
In general, I think Box Reporting needs to be an area for improvement. There should be more options for reports and more filters and ways to manipulate the reports in Box.
Something specific we would like to see is better reporting around Governance, especially with retention policies. We operate in a highly regulated environment where we needed detailed reporting around this information. There needs to be more granularity with reports, such as the Files and Folders report. We should be able to run a report that shows all root folders or be able to separate out folders and files. I've…

Box Events API Collaboration Events don't show the same details as the user activity report
When a User Activity report is generated, we can show events for 'Change user or group role' and 'Removed collaborator'. As part of these records there are additional details provided showing:
From: ROLE, To: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234
Was: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234When using Box Events via API we also see events for
COLLABORATION_ROLE_CHANGEandCOLLABORATION_REMOVE. These line up to the records in the User Details report however they are missing the details about the previous states of the collaboration.As part of our company policy for managing collaborations, I need to be able to fetch the previous…

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。1 vote -
Automatically resize input text within defined Box Sign text fields.
Allow text fields added to a Box Sign document to automatically resize the text based on inputs. When used as form fill fields for signers/approvers, text will wrap or extend outside of defined field size. Additional logic to notify users who are inputting text that their text cannot shrink/scale appropriately would also be beneficial.

More granular visibility on Metadata Cascade Policies for folders
Currently, when getting info for folders via API, users are able to see whether a cascading metadata policy is set, but can't see if it is set to override existing values, only apply to new instances, or not overwrite anything. Some customers would like more detail included with whether or not a cascade policy exists and what it's set to

Ready-Sign Links Start & End Dates/Times
Would it be possible to add Start & End Dates/Times for Ready-Sign Links in the Link Settings? Our HR Dept. has a few templates that are only active during certain date/time ranges during the year, and they have requested the ability to set them up so that the link automatically actives and deactivates at certain times.

Requesting addition of embedded images
I would like to embed photos in the body text of a paragraph on Box Hubs. I know you can link to an image on box.com in Box Hubs, but when I am making a how-to document I need to put multiple small images inside of a body of text. Linking to an image uploaded to box makes huge 1x1 preview squares.
