  1. Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive

    Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive

    The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.

    REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.

    not planned  ·  Anonymous responded

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  2. Assign task to groups

    We would like to be able to assign task to specific groups. I.e. asking a whole team to acknowledge that they have seen a specific document.

  6. Provide a safe way to re-verify already-registered domains

    The only current self-service workaround is to delete and re-add a domain to trigger DNS verification. If the domain is already in active use, this carries a risk of operational disruption. We request a way to re-verify a registered domain without removing it, eliminating this risk.

    This would allow admins to resolve verification issues more quickly and safely, without introducing unnecessary risk into the production environment.

    (In Japanese / 日本語)
    安全に登録済ドメインのDNS検証を行う方法を提供してほしい

     現在Box社依頼なしでできる対処法は、登録済のDNSを一旦削除→再登録によるDNS検証実施だが、そのドメインが既に利用されている場合、業務影響を及ぼす可能性があります。 そのようなリスクを伴わない方法でドメインを再検証できるようにしてほしいです。

    これにより、管理者は本番環境に余計なリスクを持ち込まずに、検証上の問題をより早く安全に解消できるようになります。

  7. Make it clear whether a registered domain has been DNS-verified

    Unfortunately, domains specified at the time of tenant creation are not recognized as verified domains, and therefore all unmanaged users under that corporate domain may fail to appear as unmanaged users. On top of that, admins cannot distinguish this state from the Admin Console, which leaves us continuously exposed to the risk of free accounts. This is a very serious and disappointing limitation, so we would like this state to be clearly identifiable.

    Requested enhancement:
    - Clearly distinguish initially registered domains from DNS-verified domains in the Admin Console.
    - If the required DNS verification has not been completed and unmanaged…

  8. Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin

    For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
    ・Folders with online status
    ・Folders with downloaded status
    ・Files with downloaded status

    One of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
    However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.

    We feel that the fact that…

  9. Notification(s) for Box Notes

    In the "Inbox" of Box Notes, any Note that gets updated by someone is conveniently displayed at the top. While this feature is helpful, it can also be bothersome because Notes that I no longer need to see keep appearing at the top of my screen every time someone opens them. Additionally, I’d like to be able to turn off unread notifications for Notes that aren’t relevant to me.

    It would be helpful to have a setting that allows users to turn update/unread notifications ON or OFF for each Note individually.

    Box Notesの「Inbox」で表示されるBox Notesは、誰かに更新されるたびに分かりやすく一番上に更新されたNoteが表示されます。この機能は便利ですが、もう見る必要がないNoteも誰かが開くたび、自分の画面のトップに表示され続けるため煩わしいです。また、未読通知も自分にとって必要ないものはOFFにしたいです。

    ユーザー自身でNoteごとに更新通知/未読通知をON/OFFできる設定があると便利です。

  10. API Support for Managing Shared Links on Hubs

    This request is to add Box API capabilities to view, create, update, and remove Shared Links for Hubs. Currently, there is no API support for managing Shared Links on Hubs, which limits automation and integration with enterprise workflows.

    Enabling this functionality would allow for programmatic control of Hub sharing, improve governance, and support scalable content distribution strategies.

  12. We would like to have a clear indication of whether a file request link has been issued for a folder.

    Currently, it's not immediately clear whether a folder has a file request issued.

    We would like to have an icon display, similar to a shared link icon, so that it is visually clear when viewing the folder that a file request link has been issued.

    (In Japanese)

  13. Restricted export of content insight reports by non-administrative users.

    There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594
    However, anyone who owns a folder called "Box Reports" can export Content Insights Reports, even if they don't have admin permissions.

    <request>
    As stated in the article, restrict non-admin users from exporting Content Insights reports.
    *Do not make an exception for the owner of the "Box Reports" folder
    We do not want users without administrative privileges to be able to export this report, as this would reduce the…

  14. Records management certificate of destruction

    In order to support a variety of compliant content management use cases, GxP validation, and fulfill various audit requirements, Box should provide business-centric proof that a record (one to many files with versioned metadata) has been properly disposed according to a retention schedule. Business leaders engaged in a GxP audit need more visibility into records beyond what is available in technical solutions like the Event Stream API and / or Box admin-level reporting.

  15. Give each Box Hub a “classification label” for the Shield function.

    We want to give each box hub a “classification label” for the shield function. This would allow us to apply the shield function to each hub at once and prevent accidental external sharing.

    各Box HubにShield機能の”分類ラベル”を付与したい。そうすることで、各Hubに一括でShield機能がカバー可能になり、誤った外部共有を防げます。

  16. The option to invite users as Editor when Box for Teams creates a Chat Folder

    Box for Teams currently invites users as co-owner in Chat folder which is too strong permission. Admin don't allow end-users to have any inviting permission in any other folders but it creates a backdoor when Box for Teams is enabled

  17. Box AI for Hubs - Address # of files in Hub

    The Hub functionality works regardless of the number of files available to be viewed from the link(s) listed on the hub page. However, Box AI for Hubs has a restriction of 10,000 files that can be indexed, which includes files that may be nested under the link shown in the hub. Given this, it would be helpful if we could manually disable Box AI for Hubs on specific hubs that we know are indexed for over 10K files so that users do not get an error message on those hubs when they try to use Box AI. (Possibly hiding the…

  18. Reflect the content requested by Box AI in the details column of the user activity report

    When using Box AI multiple times at the same time, the current report does not allow us to check the details of which request was made in the log.
    Therefore, we would like the function to be improved so that the details requested by Box AI are reflected in the details column.

    <Box AIで要求した内容をユーザーアクティビティレポートの詳細欄に反映する>
    同時刻に複数のBox AIを使用している場合、現状のレポートではどの要求をした際のログなのか詳細の確認が取れません。
    そのため、詳細欄にBox AIで要求した内容が反映されるように機能を改善してほしいです。
