  1. Limit the number of files that can be uploaded in the Box Web App

    The request is to include a setting within the Admin Console to limit the number of files that can be uploaded at one time through the Box Web App.

    The customer is in insurance (ClaimsPro integration) and is trying to implement functionality to make a work item when someone uploads more documents for a claim than is allowed.
    When users upload too many documents, the job will run multiple times while the documents are being uploaded, creating multiple work items. They are unable to reduce the run frequency of the job and are hoping to limit the amount of uploads…

  2. Recent Files Menu Options

    I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?

    Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

  3. file request with BVE

    Currently we are using BVE and have a firewall setting to block the normal app.box.com.
    When our group/subsidiary companies try to upload a file through file request, since the link URL is https://upload.app.box.com, they cannot upload a file via file request.
    It would be great if we can make a file request link that is BVE so the URL is https://upload.ent.box.com.

  4. Drag and drop operations between browsers

    Microsoft Edge allows you to split the browser screen.
    I have separate Box folders on both split screens.
    It would be convenient to be able to copy and move files and folders from one screen to another by dragging and dropping them.

  5. Placement of "Delete Group"

    The placement of the "Delete group" button at the top right of the screen that appears when you click a group from the list of groups in the management console is too poor.

    During normal operation, what you see here are forward-looking functions such as "Save" and "Add."
    The more you get used to the operation, the more likely you are to press this button with force.

    管理コンソールのグループの一覧から、グループをクリックした際に表示される、画面右上のボタン「グループの削除」の配置が悪すぎる

    通常のオペレーション時、ここに表示されるのは、「保存」や「追加」といった前向きな機能群である
    操作が慣れてくるほど、このボタンを勢いで押してしまいそうになる

  6. Ability to be unlocked only with the permission of the person who set the lock

    With the current file locking feature, even if a file is locked, it can be unlocked by another user.
    In this case, the file that was originally supposed to be updated cannot be updated and is saved as another file.
    The result is a lot of conflict files and a lot of work to merge all the information.

    [The features we want]
    When editing a file, the file is completely locked.
    If other users want to edit this file, they will ask the user who locked it to unlock it.
    It will only be unlocked if the user who put…

  7. Invitation of collaborators by list

    Currently, Box has a small screen for inviting collaborators, and invitations must be made on a per-privilege basis. So there are some mistakes of invitations by users.
    This could be a compliance issue with business partners. So we need new interface that allow users to check the invitation list and register in a batch input.

  8. Repair Display Icon When Collaborate Group

  9. Displaying tags in grid view

    Tags are displayed in list view.
    It would be nice if it was also displayed in grid view.

    This is because we often use a grid view of photos.

  11. Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling

    When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.

    I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

  12. I want to bookmark a "file://" location

    Box can create bookmarks to web-based content. Some users still have local, server-based files, box should allow creation of bookmarks to travel to these places.

    As an example, I can paste "file://server/folder/folder/folder" into a browser address bar and get to a server folder structure.

    Since I can do that, I can also bookmark it in the browser... If I can bookmark it with the browser, Box should also be able to use that address to create a bookmark in a folder.

    thanks!

  14. I would like to see a button implemented to go back to the original screen from the folder settings and collaborator screen.

    When I go to the screen to check folder settings or collaborator in WebUI, there is no button to go back to the original screen
    The folder settings screen can be returned to by pressing the cancel button or by using the browser functions, but the collaborator screen can only be returned to by using the browser functions.
    I think this is a bad user experience because some users do not know how to go back to the previous screen.
    It would be easier to understand if a back button is implemented, so please implement it!

  15. Revert to former UX for selecting files/folders (no more check boxes)

    In order to select multiple files or folders in the Box Web App you now have to use the checkboxes which are only visible when you hover over the file/folder all the way to the right.

    Previously, you could select multiple files and folders by clicking on the file or folder icon on the far left, and didn’t have to bother with checkboxes. The suggestion is to revert to the former UX for selecting files/folders

  16. Accurate File Count - Script Automation or Access

    As I've discussed with the BOX support team, BOX web interface does not display an accurate count of files. We upload thousands of files per day and when the count of files displayed by BOX is not accurate, we assume there was a network glitch and attempt to re-upload the thousands of files which results in unnecessary network bandwidth and computational resources.

    The BOX support team has access to a script they run to fix errors in the file count. Until the file count is accurately displayed in the web interface, it would be nice if BOX would automatically run…

  17. Show timestamp in "update" column in Box Web/Box for Teams

    Dear Box team, it would be very helpful shwoing the timestamp of the last change of a file/folder is shown in Box Web and Box Teams Plugin instead of showing the date only (or a text).
    Content shown today:
    Changed yesterday by <Username>

    Desired content:
    <tt.mmm.yy> <hh:mm> <username>

  18. Maintain folder structure when exporting legal hold content

    Maintain folder structure when exporting legal hold content

    The legal hold export is very difficult to use because only files are downloaded and the folder structure is lost.
    Therefore, we would like to be able to download the files while maintaining the folder structure.

    リーガルホールドのエクスポートはファイルしかダウンロードされずフォルダ構成が分からなくなり非常に使い辛いです。
    そのため、フォルダ構成を維持したままダウンロードできるようにしてほしい。

  19. 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…
