  1. Create Shortcuts to Other Folders within Box

    We would love to be able to create shortcuts to other related files within files in Box on the web. For an example, in windows file explorer, you can create a shortcut from someone's individual file and someone's business file.

  2. Password protected folders - systems allows setting password not meeting log-in criteria

    When I set shared link with customer, I generate password for him and send it to him so he can access the folder. System allows me to create password which is not accepted by the system when the customer wants to sign in! That is very embarrasing.
    For example today I created shared folder, made a password (long enough, but containg only one number) and sent it to the customer to cooperate. System allowed me to set the password, but when the customer wanted to access the folder, he had to use the password but it was not accepted because…

  3. Need to have ADDITIONAL sort options in Trash / Bin

    In NEW CONTENT MANAGER, when viewing any Trash, it is important to be able to SORT columns, not only by UPDATED column, but ALSO by ORIGINAL FOLDER LOCATION, so that content may selectively restored

    OR Make the Filter for FOLDER so that users may enter a text string (with " ") to identify and display results for the BINNED folder name

    ALSO display the binned folder and file IDs so that these can be selected in folder filter

  4. Function to display a list of files that failed to upload when uploading large amounts of content

    In the course of work, there are many opportunities to upload folders or large numbers of files at once.
    Some files may fail to upload, but the Box Web screen does not allow you to extract information about only the files that failed to upload.
    This means that it can be time-consuming to identify files that have failed to upload among a large number of uploaded files.
    Please implement a function to display a list of contents that have failed to upload.
    If it is difficult to display the list on the screen, please implement a function to export the…

  5. Editting text files online without using Box Edit

    I want to edit text files(.txt files) online without using Box Edit.
    Because when I edit a text file with Box Edit, I have to download it each time, which takes time.
    I think it would be very convenient if I could easily edit text files on Box, just like Box Notes.

  6. Ability review the most recently uploaded documents in temporal order

    Aside from that, my real feedback is that your data room doesn't have a feature to review the most recently uploaded documents in temporal order. This is a crucical feature to M&A lawyers, and a lot of your clients use Box for M&A deals. I would suggest that you look at DataSite and incorporate some of their features, because there are a lot of M&A lawyers who are forced to use your service (becuase you're who the bankers decided to use) and the experience is way worse than DataSite. Not trying to be overly critical but just trying to help…

  7. the folder tree display/tree operations

    I would like the folder tree display/tree operations implemented in Content Manager to be implemented on the normal screen as well.
    This will improve usability for people who are accustomed to Windows Explorer.
    It will make it easier to transition from Box Drive to Box Web.

  8. Colored Tags or Even Metadata and Visible Outside File

    Can we suggest colored tags (or even metadata) functionality so we can track documents easier?
    We have several versions of a part drawing and we wanted to track better visually when it comes to latest documents.
    If also possible, can it be seen outside the file in one row with the file name or folder and can be colored? For visual ease since the current tag function has only one color (gray) and we wanted to be able to set-up a color per status tag (e.g. Approved - green, Pending - orange, etc.) for easier tracking. It would be very…

  9. When inviting users, the permissions window is missing.

    When inviting users to collaborate in Box, a window appears to select the permissions that should be granted.
    However, this window protrudes from the screen and cannot be resized, and the uploader's permissions are missing.
    This is handled by reducing the browser's magnification, but depending on the monitor being used, the magnification may have to be reduced to 67%-80%, which is inconvenient. Please make it possible to scroll through the authority windows to see all the cases.

    In Japanese:
    Boxでユーザーをコラボレーション招待する際、付与する権限を選択するウィンドウが表示されます。
    しかし、このウィンドウは画面からはみ出していて、サイズを変更することもできないため、アップローダーの権限が見切れてしまいます。
    ブラウザの倍率を下げることで対応していますが、使用しているモニターによっては倍率を67%~80%まで下げなければならず不便です。
    権限ウィンドウをスクロールして全件確認できるようにしてください。

  10. Tryout the free Version confusion, lack fo support

    Confusing restrictions for basic functions and hard time to find support...
    File Link not sharable in basic version?
    This seems one of the most used functions which only works for Team Members?
    Timeconsuming and confusing for customers...
    Even with an existing account it is not possible to join community without long list of mandatory input fields... we quit
    Now we move on testing Dropbox for our company...

  11. Using the Excel Online Previewer via a shared link (without logging in)

    In business, we may need to share Excel files with business partners who do not have Box accounts via open links.
    Unfortunately, if they preview an Excel file from an open link without logging in to Box, the contents are displayed in Box Content Preview, which can easily cause display errors and split the file into multiple pages.

    Currently, even if an open link is shared with a business partner, it is difficult to check the exact content in the Box preview, which makes it a hassle for them to download the documents.
    We would like to see the Excel…

  12. Manage Folders and Files by Other Users

    I recently noticed that, as an administrator/owner of The Animal League of Green Valley account, I cannot see folders and files deleted by other users.

    This caused a serious problem when a user accidentally deleted a folder and then left for an extended leave.

    I expected to be able to enter "Trash", see the folder and restore it; however, it was not visible to me.

    Fortunately, we were able to contact the user who deleted the folder, and that person was able to restore it, but the situation could have been much worse, disastrous actually.

    It seems to me that…

  13. Users to oversee the File request used Folders

    We would like to have users to be able to see which folders they have enabled file request as an list.
    The image is to have a "File Request" tab in the Box menu on the left side.
    Once you click that tab, it will show all the folders that the users have enabled file request so they can disable unnecessary link.

  15. View Folder structure

    Currently, BOX admins can view the Folder structure in user's account with new Content manager. It will be better if End user can also see their Folder structure in BOX Webapp.

  16. Display a warning popup when uploading on Box Web

    When uploading a large number of files via Box Web, there are cases where we may not notice that some files have failed to upload, which can cause disruption to our work.
    For example, in the past, there have been cases where users did not realize that some files had failed to upload and ended up deleting the original files, resulting in file loss.
    It can be difficult to recover a file, as we will only realize it is gone when we need it again.
    To prevent this issue, if the file contains something that would obviously cause the upload…

  18. Filename searches are incredibly slow

    Searches in the web interface are painfully slow, even when limited to file names and filtering on specific types of files. There is clearly a need to index the metadata.

  19. Increase scale of sort within a folder with page search query result limit

    Limit the number of search results to improve results. Increase scale of items in folder that is sortable without error. Most interested in sort by file size, but should impact all types of sort.

  20. All Files External Shares

    Within the All Files view it would be nice to be able to separate and collapse the External Collaborations (Grey Folders) to the internal folders. In addition, make the separation collapsible to clean up the interface and provide a better de-linearisation between internal and external content.
