More specific error messages when uploads fail
When manually uploading a new version of a file, I received a "Some Uploads Fail" message. Only later did I see it was because there was another file of the same name in the folder. The error message should be more specific to this problem.

Filter search for "Files with all tags" when searching with tags
Currently when you search for multiple tags you receive results for anything with any of those tags. It would be very helpful to be able to filter this result to something like "Only show files with all of these tags"

Option to disable notifications for collaborator invites being accepted
Users can get spammed if they send folder collaboration invites to a group and the organization's default settings are to auto-accept collaboration invites. The option to disable notifications for accepting collaborator invites would be useful in this circumstance.
18 votesThank you for your suggestion. We currently don’t have any plans to update the current email notifications flow, but will return to this suggestion later in the year. Please stay tuned!

Open Shared Link Controls: Prevent Open Shared Folder Links without Disabling Company Folder Shared Links
Right now you can't disable Open folder links without disabling Company folder links. The native Box setting for this is too restrictive (prevents sharing folders internally other than via collaboration).
18 votesWe are currently focussed on bulk operations with managing Shared links.

Search - Add Microsoft Visio Files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) to the 'Full Text Search' Index
Box already has in-file search ('full text search') on other Office file types (Word Docs, PowerPoint files, and Excel spreadsheets), so users expect that Visio files (which are part of the Office suite) would also be indexed by Box.
REQUEST: Include contents of Visio files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) in Box's search index.
Context - here's the externally-documented list of file types supported by Box's in-file ('full text search') feature: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Search-Overview-and-FAQs/ta-p/354#search_hdsiw

For problem items on Box, add ability to click on the problem item and be taken directly to the item on Box.
We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.
I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.
18 votesUnfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

Inactive State: Do Not Hide Owned Folders for Managed User Collaborators (still hide for External Collaborators)
Currently the 'Inactive' User Status not only prevents the user from accessing their account, it also hides ALL owned folders for all collaborators.
Meaning if John Smith is changed to 'Inactive', all of the collaborators that are in his owned folders will no longer see those folders in their accounts.
REQUEST: Change this status to only prevent the user from accessing their account, while keeping their owned content visible for Managed User collaborators (keeping today's behavior of hiding for External Collaborators).
18 votesWe are currently re-designing our managed users page for performance and usability updates which will be released at the end of this year. We will revisit newer features to user management after we release our new UI. In the meantime, please add your use cases in the comments so we can have this feedback when we decide to pick this up.

Add Support for Surrogate Pair Characters (e.g. Emojis, Supplementary Kanji)
Currently, Box has limitations in handling surrogate pair characters (such as certain emojis or supplementary Kanji) in file names and metadata.
Other major services like Microsoft 365 already support these characters, and we would like to request similar support in Box.
Enabling surrogate character support would significantly improve internationalization and user experience for customers working with multilingual or symbol-rich content.17 votes -

We would like to enhance the precision of exact match searches.
We would like to enhance the precision of exact match searches.
Even when using double quotation marks (““), the search results ignore case sensitivity. Additionally, if spaces or symbols (!#/, etc.) are included within the quotes, they are ignored instead of performing an exact match.
For example, when I enter "Customer Support", the search results include "customer support" and "CUSTOMER SUPPORT". Similarly, when I enter "Customer/Support", the same results are displayed.

完全一致検索の精度をもっと改善してほしい。
完全一致検索で二重引用符 (““)を使っているのに中の語句が大文字小文字関係なく検索結果に出てしまう。
また、二重引用符 (““)の中の言葉に空白スペースを入れた場合や記号(!#/など）を入れた場合、完全一致ではなく無視されてしまう。例："Customer Support”と入力した場合、検索結果に「customer support」や「CUSTOMER SUPPORT」という結果が混ざる。
"Customer/Support”と入力した場合も、先ほどと同じ結果が表示される。17 votes -
access Deny Authority
The permissions of the parent folder are inherited by the subordinate folder, but I want to be able to add a setting to deny access only to specific users or groups in the subordinate folder. Or I want to be able to set the permission settings so that they are not inherited by subordinates. This is a function that can be realized with existing file servers.
上位フォルダの権限が下位フォルダへ継承されますが、下位フォルダにおいて、特定のユーザーやグループに対してのみアクセス拒否する設定を追加できるようにしたい。もしくは権限設定を下位に継承しないようにする設定ができるようにしたい。既存のファイルサーバーでは実現できている機能

New Shared Link Setting for OTP to Specific Email Addresses
Proposing a new Shared Link setting or type that allows users to send a shared link to a specific email address which requires a OTP password, similar to the authentication used when an individual is sent a Sign Request via Box Sign.
This would allow for a simpler, more secure user experience when sharing one-off links than password-protecting a public link.

Box Relay outcome to Apply Classification to a folder dynamically
It would be helpful if Box Relay would have the ability to apply a classification to the folder where the workflow was triggered on dynamically as an outcome, which would also classify all content within that folder structure as well. This would allow applying classifications to the folder that a new file event trigger happened in for example, which would then flow classifications to all content and sub-folders in that folder structure.

Selective Bulk Trash Restoration
Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.
The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.
Example:
Files below a specific…17 votes
