New Folder Box Keyboard Usage
With the most recent update, when starting a new folder in the new folder dialogue box that pops up, you now can't start typing immediately in the name field without clicking into it. Also, pressing Enter does not trigger the "create" button like it once did. This makes working in Box much slower since you have to click around to do anything instead of just using the keyboard.

Ability to hide date and other metadata for external shares
When sharing to external users, it would be nice to have the ability to remove the date from view, as it can sometimes be privileged information to see that kind of metadata.

Make Move+Copy pop-up default back to the folder you're in
Up until a couple days ago, when you clicked Move + Copy on a file/folder, the pop-up would load with the current folder you're in, making it very simple to move files up one level (out of their current subfolder). Now, the pop-up defaults to the home screen. So if I want to move files out of one subfolder, I have to navigate through twenty different folders to get back to where I was.
Please change it back!

New Login Custom Logo Display
A recent Login update has caused Custom Branding Logos to display verry small in all browsers to the point its not readable. I opened a Box support case and after multiple attempts to resize I was told it was working as expected.
Please upvote this if your custom branding is not correctly sized on the login page so Box can fix this.
Here is the link to the change that caused this.:

Box for Outlook - Default no attachments selected
When using the Box Outlook app, by default all attachments are selected. I would default to no attachments and require people to select they want to save.
The main reason is that for EVERY email there is normally MANY image files that make up part of the signature, it is necessary to unselected many more image files than the attachment(s) we want to save.

Box for Outlook - Seamless login with SSO
The Box app in Outlook is currently not a great user experience requiring users to login daily. It should pass existing SSO credentials across and login at least after the first set-up. Look at Asana as an example of how this should work

Scheduled Metadata-Based Automation for Document Lifecycle Management
Today, Relay workflows are primarily event-driven and lack the ability to run on a recurring schedule to evaluate metadata conditions.
For knowledge management use cases, it would be highly valuable to support:
Dynamic metadata setting on approval
When a knowledge article is approved, automatically set a “Next Review Date” based on configurable offsets (e.g., +30, +60, +90 days)Scheduled Relay execution
Ability to run a workflow on a recurring basis (e.g., daily)
Evaluate metadata fields such as “Review Date” or “Expiration Date”Conditional actions based on date evaluation
If Review Date = Today, trigger actions such as:

Option to default new Office files to web editor without disabling Box Edit
Currently, when Box Edit is installed/enabled, newly created Word/Excel files in Box open automatically in the desktop app, interrupting workflows for users who prefer the web editor (like me at SMRU Consulting). Disabling Box Edit fixes this but removes desktop editing entirely, which isn't ideal.
Requested Feature:
Add a setting to default newly created Office files to open in Microsoft 365 for Web, while keeping Box Edit active for existing files or manual "Open in desktop" choices.
Bonus: A prompt on creation ("Open in web / desktop?") for flexibility.
Why It Matters:
Streamlines workflows for web-first users without sacrificing Box…

Move/Copy dialog search no longer shows parent folder path
In the Move/Copy dialog, search results no longer display the parent folder or path context for folders with identical names.
Previously, search results clearly showed both the folder name and its parent location. Now, only the folder name is shown, resulting in duplicate entries that are indistinguishable unless each one is opened.

Document title previews
Hi! After the latest platform update, Box doesn't show document title previews anymore when you hover over the document and it's very inconvenient - could we have this function back?

Add a feature to enable batch descriptions to be added to multiple files on Box at once.
Our organisation is using the file description feature to optimise search and give legacy context and crediting to files on Box.
Descriptions must be added manually to files one at a time. we are uploading hundreds of files at a time, often all with the same description.
A feature that allows multiple files to be selected and assigned the same description at once would be hugely efficient v the current process.

Search sorting - have the possiblity to always list exact matches at the top
The current Box search (especially when moving files) seems to prioritize folders that do not have the searched for string in their title but are seemingly selected based on recency or usage.
Many of our teams move files based on a specific string in their title to a specific folder including said string.
Since those folders are often not touched for a long period of time, the folders do sometimes not show up in search or only all the way down, with seemingly unrelated folders being displayed at the top instead.1 vote -
Forward and Backward Arrows
I don't think its an Idea, but to move through files the > arrow buttons seem to be backwards. The Left < is to move Foward and the Right > is to move backwards. When I think it should be the other way around for those of us who are use to < to be backwards and > to be forward.

Create Doc Gen templates from Excel.
I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from Excel documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

this simply doesn't work.
I've got 13GB of files to upload. I tried doing it in one go - and after a few hours I got an error saying "Some Uploads Failed". The "Resume All" button didn't work. I didn't know where this went wrong, deleted everything, tried uploading in chunks, same issue. Had to go down to granular 300-600MB folders, upload those, on a fast connection - super slow upload. Then - some folders display "0 Files", yet on opening have a ton of files. What gives? Who programmed this? ChatGPT? Could you give us FTP access or an app that would work…

The X in the top right for closing out of previewing a file is gone
The X in the top right for closing out of previewing a file is gone. This is so painful to click the back button. Probably not the biggest thing in the world long term but short term soooo painful. I don't see why that couldn't just be kept, it wasn't bothering any feature or getting in the way.
