Improve tenant-wide search function in Content Manager
It is helpful to be able to perform a tenant-wide search where only the content name, or part of it, is known. In the old Content Manager UI, searching by content name without any additional filters yielded much better results than the new Content Manager UI. In the previous UI, a folder or file with the most keywords matching would surface to the top of the results list. In the new UI, even if the content does exist somewhere, without using additional filters to narrow the search, often times irrelevant content is surfaced. Even selecting simple things, like whether it's…

Add collaborators as viewers/uploaders
I have created a workflow to apply to files that need signatures and approvals. If all I needed was approvals, automatically adding the assignees as viewers is fine. I need signatures as well so it would be nice to choose to add the assignees automatically as viewers/uploaders so they can also sign the document.

Unmanaged User feature should be more prominent (UX tweak)
It would be helpful if the Unmanaged Users management feature was more prominent. when trying to add a new managed user, if a matching unmanaged user already exists, an error is displayed and no other information given. I had to fumble to figure out why, partly because the feature isn't obvious. Suggestion: change the External Users tab name to External & Unmanaged Users, and add an Unmanaged Users button next to External users. Or, simply display them all but with the unmanaged users highlighted somehow. It is non-intuitive partly because external is interpreted as 'non-company domain'. So there wasn't the…

Assign Relay attribute to service account or Box
As Admin, I created a Relay for a specific team with less exposure and familiarity with Box. When folders are created in this Relay, and files are renamed and moved into those folders, I am listed as the user who "last updated" these folders/files. But questions arise as these are sensitive documents and the real owners are surprised to see my name associated to them.
It would be great if I could attribute Relay actions to Box, or to a service account, so that it's clear that I personally haven't altered the documents, for audit purposes.

Online Collaboration Breaks Functionality
If you accidentally open any file in online Microsoft office, you can no longer delete the file or open it locally because it will be forever stuck in "online collaboration mode". This is MADDENING behavior because the only apparent way to undo this is to copy the original file to another folder and delete the original folder with the original document that is now locked in document purgatory. Box should NEVER lose ownership of the file, even if its opened in online MS office.

Retention policies should lift automatically even if disposition action is set to "none"
Retention policies should be lifted automatically at the end of the retention period. Currently, if the disposition action is set to "none" the folder will not be released from the policy even though the folder will be able to be deleted. This is very confusing and requires manual work on the admin's part to determine if the retention period is up on a folder and if it is able to be deleted.
Alternately, build retention as a trigger into Relay/Workflows as mentioned in a different idea so that the Relay can automatically take the folder out of retention when…

Ability to Toggle AI Autofill on Folders via API
AI Autofill can only be enabled on folders through the Box UI. Having an API endpoint to enable AI Autofill at the folder level so it can be automated during folder provisioning would save a lot of time.
In our use case, a Salesforce Flow creates a Box folder structure, applies metadata templates, and configures cascade policies. Being able to toggle AI Autofill via API would allow the entire process to run end-to-end without manual steps and avoid maintaining custom AI Extract + metadata upload automation as a workaround.

About the Behavior of the iOS Version of Box for Microsoft Teams
When attaching a file from Box to a chat in the iOS version of Microsoft Teams using “Upload file” and sending the message, I would like the sent message to display the attached file properly.
Current behavior:
When performing the above operation, the sent message does not show the attached file. The sender receives an email notification indicating that the chat recipient has accepted collaboration on the file, but the recipient receives no notification. The file simply appears under “All files” for the recipient.
Meanwhile, on Box, the file is uploaded to the Microsoft Teams Chat Files folder and is…1 vote -
Metadata attribute update
As the increased use of metadata becomes popular, it would be great to have updates attributes in the metadata templates automatically update in the file requests/ forms or metadata options where they are being used.
Currently, in files requests and forms the metadata templates needs to be manually updated in the designated forms, which can be hard to track.
Request: metadata updates to attributes to be dynamically updated in their embedded/ functionality locations

Box AI for Hubs - available to basic Enterprise users, not just Enterprise Pro
All Enterprise levels should receive Box AI for Hubs...it makes no sense to have to pay $20 more per user per month just to get AI in Hubs.

Ability to restore deleted BoxSign templates from Trash
Today you can restore files, but the BoxSign fields applied does not restore with it. It would be helpful to have the ability to restore BoxSign templates that were previously deleted.

Allow Forms driven dynamic destination folder in Relay Folder Action
In Box Relay, the Folder Create outcome requires selecting a fixed destination folder. While Forms data can be used for folder naming, it cannot be used to dynamically set the parent folder (for example, from a submitted Folder ID field).
Allow Relay to set “Where should the folder be created?” using a variable/token from trigger data (e.g., Box Forms field), including support for folder ID and optionally folder path.
This limitation forces teams to build custom middleware/services just to translate form input into folder creation logic. Native support would remove extra engineering overhead and enable fully no-code workflows for common…

Pause upload/download on Box Drive
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I cannot describe how much this is important to me. I work on several projects that use many files simultaneously. Some of these files are large. Being unable to pause an upload/sync makes my workflow so incredibly slower.
Current life: I make some edit to a large file, my entire workflow is interrupted as said large file needs to be entirely uploaded before I can retrieve literally anything else from Box. This last part is not even Box's problem, but I have a pretty decent computer and slows down significantly during large uploads, which affects the rest…

Suggested Prompts with Custom Agent in the Box App for iOS and Android
Currently the AI feature of the Box App for iOS and Android does not include customized suggested prompts with custom agents. I would like to have suggested prompts available on custom agents in the Box App. We've created several custom agents with unique suggested prompts. Without access to these prompts in the Box App, it limits its usefulness to us, or at least requires more effort from the end-user to retrieve what they need.

Notify Owners and Co-Owner on colaborators expiry
It seems that today only the colaborators are infomed prior to colaborator expiry. From my poinbt of view it would be important, that both Owners and Co-Owners receive the expiry information too. I our setup Box system users own all level 0 shared folders, so Co-Owners would be required to receive the notifications as well.

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.
