split PST files
I have a large PST file in Outlook that’s becoming difficult to manage due to its size and also difficult to handle as well as. That’s why i would like to split them into smaller, more manageable files to improve performance and avoid any kinds of issue.
Can anyone recommend the best way to safely split a PST file without losing any data? Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:
Are any reliable third-party utilities that can help split large PST files or should I go for manual method?

Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）
When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。

Please remove the word "Download" from the download button
Please remove the word "Download" from the download button at the top right of the Box document screen and move it to the edge. Our internal analysis using Pendo revealed that users unfamiliar with Box often click the download button instead of sharing links because of the presence of the word "Download." This leads even experienced file server users to mistakenly press the download button. Please make the button smaller to prevent this.

Folder migration improvements
Folder migration improvements
The current process for changing folder ownership and transferring it to a new location is cumbersome and inefficient. It involves:
1) Logging into the Admin Console and impersonating the owner's account to change the folder ownership.
2) Waiting an unspecified amount of time for the change to take effect.
3) Logging in as the new owner to move the folder to its new location.
4) Waiting again for another unspecified amount of time for the move to finalize.We are undertaking a large-scale project to transfer folder ownership from individual accounts to a service-level account and reorganize…

About BoxDrive upload error notification messages
<BoxDrive upload error notification off function added>
Regarding the desktop notification method when a BoxDrive upload error occurs,
From version 2.41 onwards, a message similar to a Windows notification may be displayed.
I would like each user to be able to set whether or not to display the message.supplement:
Since it was not displayed until now, past errors are accumulated,
Since the accumulated amount is displayed as a message, some users may have more than 200 messages displayed, and the messages will be displayed periodically until they are resolved.
Since it will take time to resolve the error, I…1 vote -

Box AI Prompt Closes on Outside Clicks
Box AI prompt screen automatically closes when clicking outside of it. This issue becomes particularly problematic when using digital adoption tools to provide a guided tutorial for Box AI. When users click on the tutorial, it is interpreted as clicking outside the Box AI prompt, causing the prompt to close. As a result, the educational guide cannot be executed effectively.

UX - Not clear when a note name is taken
When a user insert a note name and the name is already taken, there is a small notification at the end of the line.
It is not visible enough, and when focusing out the name reverts to the previous option.It took me 2-3 times to understand what the issue is because the notice wasn't clear enough.
Possible solutions :
1. add a suffix to the name
2. make a red bold notice on the name so the user can't miss it1 vote -
Google and Microsoft FORMS integration is missing!
I see that this is not planned based on lack of demand. I'm writing this comment to increase the demand.
I will continue to use SharePoint or Google drive because this is missing from box.
Word, PPT, Excel, Google docs, slides and sheets are all here... why not forms?

Request the ability to suppress emails during user provisioning in Box
When a Box user is provisioned, an email is sent to the person's email address, but there are cases where many companies and organizations, not just us, are provisioning mailboxes at the same time. In this case, the mailbox provisioning is slower than Box provisioning is completed, so Box determines that the email is unknown and is entered on the deny list. To prevent this, I'd like to see a feature that doesn't send emails during user provisioning in Box.

Boxのユーザープロビジョニング時のメールを送信しない機能を要望する
＜本文＞
Boxユーザーがプロビジョニングされると、そのユーザーのメールアドレスにメールが送信されますが、私たちだけでなく、多くの企業や組織が同時にメールボックスをプロビジョニングしているケースがあります。この場合、メールボックスのプロビジョニングは Box のプロビジョニング完了よりも遅いため、Box はメールが不明であると判断し、拒否リストに入力されてしまいます。これを防ぐために、Boxのユーザープロビジョニング中にメールを送信しない機能を用意していただきたいです。1 vote -
I want to use box ai to train my own ai models
I imagine a world where I can create a model and associate it with a metadata set. I think it would work like this.
Create New AI Model. I would put it right next to metadata creation. Let's say I create an AI model called "Analyst Answer". I would associate Analyst Answer with a metadata template.
In the AI Model I would pick the metadata template and then I would assign Independent and Dependent variables from the MetaData Template.
For example,
Independent Metadata Field -
Financial Input 1 (Net Worth) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 2 (Income) - Tag…1 vote -
Feature: Selective Notification Controls Problem: Users managing multiple folders receive excessive automated alerts, particularly for colla
Feature: Selective Notification Controls
Problem: Users managing multiple folders receive excessive automated alerts, particularly for collaborator deletions. Currently forced to choose between all notifications or none.
Solution: Add granular notification toggles at folder level, allowing owners to:
• Choose which alerts they receive per folder
• Keep important notifications while disabling non-critical ones
• Control collaboration alerts independently
Value:
• Reduces notification fatigue
• Improves content management efficiency
• Maintains essential security alerts
• Better user experience for folder owners1 vote -
Include the ability to add additional information to a user creation event or new collaboration event
User creation and collaboration often includes a number of details that should be recorded and auditable by Box Admins. When a user is created, there is often a sponsor, a ticket or request ID, and potentially a rationale, project name, or dozens of other information that needs to be remembered by the organization. Likewise, when collaborations are created, there is often additional context that should be auditable after the fact - what is the reason for the collaboration, what is the project or ticket ID that led to the request, who is the sponsor - this is especially important for…

Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache
Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.
I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.
Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).
Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.
Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.
Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due…
