Movable preview screen toolbar
When the preview screen is opened, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen showing the zoom factor and page number, but since it is fixed at the bottom of the page, the preview screen is partially hidden in some documents, making it difficult to see.
If this toolbar could be temporarily hidden or moved, it would make the preview screen easier to see.（日本語）
プレビュー画面を開くと、画面下に拡大率やページ数が表示されているツールバーが表示されるかと思いますが、
ページの下に固定されているため、ドキュメントによってはプレビュー画面が一部隠れてしまい、見づらいです。
このツールバーを一時的に隠したり、移動できるようにすれば、
プレビュー画面がより見やすくなると思うので、改善を希望します。49 votes -

Admin controls for the Solutions menu
We would like Box Admins to have the ability to manage the Solutions menu in the Box web app.
The Solutions menu can create confusion because it allows end users to contact Box Consulting directly, which may bypass internal IT, helpdesk, procurement, or governance processes.
Please consider adding admin controls to either:
1) Enable or disable the Solutions menu for the enterprise
2) Replace the default Box Consulting contact path with an internal helpdesk or support contact, similar to the support contact email setting in Admin Console (Custom Settings)This would help to route end user inquiries through the right…

Create folders during file moves or copies
Create folders during file moves or copies:
User pain point: When moving or copying a file, users cannot create a new destination folder directly from the move/copy dialog. They have to cancel or leave the action, create the folder beforehand, and then restart the move or copy process.Requested improvement: Add a “Create New Folder” option within the move and copy dialog, allowing users to create the destination folder without interrupting their current action.
Expected benefits:
- A smoother, more intuitive user journey
- Fewer unnecessary steps
- Time savings for users
- Improved overall experience when organising files.2 votes -
Enable macro excels on the web app
Excel macro files with VBA cannot be run on the web app currently and need to be open via Desktop app which is counter productive. Can this be looked into?

Box LFO: Folder Locks, Unpredictable Delays, and No Status Visibility
Box’s LFO process is a serious platform limitation. It locks the folder without providing a clear status, progress indicator, or reliable completion estimate, leaving users in the dark.
I’ve spoken with several people at Box, and I still don’t have confidence that anyone has clearly explained how it works. Does the timing depend on the number of files or the total dataset size? Saying “it’s a combination” doesn’t help me predict whether an operation will take a minute or hours.
Why can’t this be immediate, or take at most a minute? In my experience, other platforms, such as SharePoint, don’t…

Case #3631047 - Feature Request: Improve Folder Sorting Persistence and Save As Navigation in Box
Hello Box Product Team,
I recently provided feedback and requested an feature enhancement in the box support case "#3631047".
Thank you for reviewing our feedback. We understand that the current behavior is working as designed and that there are currently no administrative settings or workarounds that fully address these concerns.
We would like to formally submit the following feature requests for consideration, as these enhancements could significantly improve user productivity and overall user experience.
- Persistent Alphabetical Folder Sorting Preference
Current Behavior: Users frequently need to manually reapply alphabetical sorting when navigating through folders. The system often reverts to previously used…

Shared Link Permissions Should Override Collaborator Permissions - or make it a setting option
Currently, collaborator role overrides shared link permissions for logged in users. At my organization, we have several use cases for preferring the inverse.
For example, we have a folder where documents are stored that are available to be shared externally. Everyone who has a business need to share these documents externally is a collaborator in the role of Viewer. They are in the role of Viewer to block them from moving these files out of the folder. They should only be ale to copy. We have a shared link to the folder on our intranet that is set to "People…

Auto-populate top result when tagging users
When I am tagging someone in the online platform, it would be very convenient if the first name on the drop down list is automatically highlighted instead of needing to press down on my keyboard to select it, even if it is the only option. Essentially auto-populate with the top search result. This will allow users to only press "Enter" instead of "Down + Enter". I usually will type a few extra letters of someone's name to ensure they are the top result any ways (ie. if I type "@John Ad", I would like John Adams to be automatically selected…

Display full file name on mouseover
We have very long file names where file prefix can be 40 characters the same. In Box Web GRID view it's impossible to differentiate between the files without opening them. In list list view it's almost as bad. The file naming is set by customer policy and we cannot affect that.
Add a mouse over popup for files to show the whole file name for Box Web.

Accepting updated custom ToS on Box when navigating to certain links takes users to 404 page.
Accepting updated custom ToS on Box when navigating to certain links takes users to 404 page. From our testing, these URLs include [subdomain].box.com/master and [subdomain].box.com/collections. As a workaround, we're directing users to go to main [subdomain].box.com URL, accept ToS, then navigate back to original URL. Please fix this as it's annoying and unnecessary.

Request for an Invitation Method to Enable Collaboration for All Tenant Users
We would like a way to invite all users in the tenant to collaborate.
Currently, there are over 30,000 users across the tenant, so it is not practical to register all users in a single group and invite them via that group.
テナントのユーザー全員をコラボレーション可能とする招待方法が欲しいです。
現在テナント全体で3万以上のユーザーがいて、1グループに全ユーザーを登録してグループで招待をする方法が現実的ではないためです。4 votes -
Delete button too close to Download button when multiple files are selected for download.
The Delete button too close to Download button when multiple files are selected for download. Moving the Delete button to between the Tags & Move / Copy buttons would prevent arrent clicks on the wrong button.

File Request - restrict or track configuration
Allow for the ability restrict the File Request configuration from being editable. Alternatively, allow for reporting (via user activity reporting, event stream, API, otherwise) on the explicit configuration of File Requests, including field titles, descriptions, and helper text.
Use case: Financial institutions requiring auditing trail of all communication to external clients within Box, including custom configured text set by internal employees on File Requests distributed externally.

When viewing someone else's public link, add an option "add shortcut to my drive".
Google Drive has this feature. It could be further locked down with security settings if orgs want to disable this. Otherwise, I have other companies that use Box sharing public links with me, but I need to bookmark them in my web browser because I cant add a shortcut to them in Box.com. Google Drive allows you to add a shortcut to public documents. The other workaround is to download a local copy and upload to my Box but then I don't get updates.

Request to Enable Start Time Configuration for Shared Link Validity
I would like the ability to configure the start date and time for a shared link’s validity period.
For example, a shared link would become active and accessible 60 minutes after it is created.
This feature would help prevent issues caused by misconfigured shared link permissions or sending a shared link to the wrong recipient.3 votes -
Hover over file name
I see that a hover option to view whole file names was offered in 2022. This used to work fine for me but recently stopped. I can no longer hover to see whole file names and have to go back to opening the doc to view full names. Am I the only one having this problem or did it stop for everyone?

on copy/move, include filepath display
When moving/copying a file, it would be very helpful to show the filepath of a potential destination folder, IN the search window.
Our folder structure includes folders with similar names, or parts of a name or phrase. Without being able to see the filepath, we're more likely to choose the wrong one. Then the only way to go back is either navigate through the folder tree (too many clicks) or start the entire process over (repeats the search).
Additionally, move/copy search brings back results for individual files which are understandably unselectable. The problem is, there are often additional folder options…
