  1. Request for improvement of behavior when a workflow creator designates (suggests) an external user as the person to be notified or in charge

    Currently, the following conditions must be met in order for the workflow creator to designate (suggest) external users as the recipients of workflow notifications or task assignments.
    1.External user account already exists
    2.Automatic acceptance of external user invitations enabled
    3.Workflow creator invites external users while 1 and 2 are satisfied

    In addition, if the following settings are made on the tenant side, even if the external user has enabled auto-acceptance, the auto-acceptance process will not be performed unless the tenant side setting requirements are met, After the external user satisfies the tenant's requirements, the workflow creator must invite the external…

  3. Allow me to set default sorting to alphabetical anywhere

    Please, pretty please — allow me to set default sort of folder contents to alphabetical within a folder, for any folder. Should be an option under Settings for the folder.

    I have folders numbered for steps in a publication process, and I have to click "Name" every single *#$% time I display the folder list because it defaults to most recent. I may need to access any step in the process at any point in time; recent is USELESS to me. This is sooooo cognitively draining because I am touching dozens to 100s of files a day.

    Note: this is…

  4. After pressing the share button, I would like the "Invite users" field to be hidden for users who do not have invitation authority.

    During daily operations, after pressing the share button, the "Invite users" column is displayed even from the user screen that does not have invitation authority, which causes confusion.
    If you hover the cursor over it, you will see "You do not have permission to invite collaborators", but I would like the "Invite Users" field to be hidden from the share screen so that I can make a decision right away.
    If it is difficult, if you are not authorized, please display the message "You are not authorized to invite" when this screen opens.

    日頃操作する中で、共有ボタンを押下後に招待権限を持たないユーザー画面からも「ユーザーを招待」の欄があることで混乱が生じてしまう。
    カーソルを合わせれば「コラボレータを招待する権限はありません」と表示されるが、
    直ぐに判断できるように共有画面からは「ユーザーを招待」の欄を非表示にするようにしてほしい。
    もし難しい場合、招待権限がないユーザーがこの画面が開いたら「招待権限がない」というメッセージを表示させてほしい。

  5. Clicking "updated" column header twice each page load is a huge frustration!

    Revert back to the display order of most recent. You took away a good feature within the last year.
    I sorely miss files being listed in most recent order.

  6. I want the general user to be notified when an item is copied or moved and the process is complete.

     When an item is copied or moved, a message is displayed indicating that the move is complete, but when the target folder is checked, the process may not be complete.
     After moving or copying large data, the user may immediately see "copy completed" but the process is not actually completed, confusing the user.
     Currently, general users can only visually confirm that the process is complete, and the only way to confirm that the process is complete is to request a user with administrative privileges to output a user activity report.
     Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to…

  7. Lock sort order for VDR (Virtual Data Room)

    Some of our collaborators are seeing our data room with a random sorting. It would be great if we could lock the sort order for the folder.

  8. researching by a user external collaboration invite status

    researching by a user external collaboration invite status

    Hope can be visualization of past collaboration history.
    Usability will improve if each user can do it without the administrator having to go to see it when it is on hold.

  9. Option to remove visible file version tag

    We'd like the ability to hide the file version tag both from the list view and preview. The box version does not match up with our own versioning thus creating confusion for end users

  10. Date and Time of uploading file on BOX

    Hi! I was faced with the problem of file date uploading on display on BOX.

    I know that usually, BOX shows "Today" or "Yesterday" if the file was uploaded to BOX today or yesterday. It's clear, but, I need to see the exact date displayed with numbers. For example, I want to see that the file was uploaded to BOX "18 of May, 2022" instead of "Today".

    Moreover, I even can't see the time when the file was uploaded to BOX. I work with the client in different time zones (the difference is 10 hrs) and sometimes it is really…

  11. Box Web Sort (NAME and UPDATED) should INCLUDE Bookmarks

    Currently, sorting the content of a Box folder sorts the content for all but Bookmarks, then shows sorted Bookmarks below the other content - this happens for Sort by NAME and Sort by UPDATED.

    Users might reasonably expect that subfolders might be sorted first, and all other documents and bookmarks be sorted secondly - similarly to Windows File Explorer (which does this, where shortcuts are treated as documents and sorted along with other documents)

    I believe the reason that this may be happening is that [Mssrs Box] has omitted to record any modification made to bookmarks (yes, the name of…

  13. Ability to delete comments in the mobile version of Box

    Currently, the mobile version of Box does not have the ability to delete comments.
    I have been marking files by handwriting, etc., but it is inconvenient without the ability to delete them.

  14. "Restore All" and "Delete All" is not available in the specific case

    "Restore All" and "Delete All" button in Trash is the function to restore or delete all items that are in both "Items I Deleted" and "Items I Own" filters.
    So if there are any items in either filter, I think the buttons should be pressable in Trash.
    But if there are items only in one filter, the buttons are grayed out in a filter that has no items.

    This can cause confusion, so I hope it would be any behavior like the following.

    • If there are any items in either filter, the buttons are pressable even though a user selects…

  15. Display folder path under file/folder listings

    For example, for a folder "Project 1" several levels down in the Box hierarchy, display the folder path under the folder name:

    Project 1
    All Files > Level 1 > Level 2 > Level 3 > Level 4

    The folder path would be in a font smaller than the folder name and a slightly muted colour compared to the folder name

  16. Option to Remove "Upgrade Plan" Button

    I'm a business customer with a paid subscription. Please give me an option to remove the "Upgrade Plan" button. It negatively impacts UX and takes up valuable real estate at the top of every page. It also subtly suggests that my current purchase is less valuable/important than a more expensive plan.

  17. ”Priority" lock feature (There is no way to open an Office file that is being edited online in Box Edit.)

    Currently, if a user has a file open in OfficeOnline, that file cannot be opened in Box Edit.
    If I want to perform operations that are only possible in the local Excel application (e.g. sheet or macro operations) and a colleague comes home while editing in Online, my work comes to a halt.

    Can you please implement a priority lock function that works as follows.
    1. click "Priority Lock" on a file that someone is editing online.
    2. Only the latest version of the target file is copied to the same folder as a separate file with "(1)". After that,…

  18. View in Box Drive from Box.com

    Our team primarily uses Box Drive. When we send Box.com links around, it is very cumbersome to then have to navigate to the file in Box Drive if you need to use Box Drive to access it.

    A button should be added to the web version of Box.com to "View in Box Drive" which would then launch the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) location of that file in Box Drive.

  19. Download a List of Folders

    An option to download a .csv (or other convertible file) of the text titles of folders within a main folder.

    (I am requesting as I need to verify contents in several hundred folders, and cannot easily keep track of what folder has or needs content. But also because I know other would find this useful for their own purposes as well)

  20. Improve Sharing Sidebar UI

    In the Sharing Sidebar, how about moving "Shared Link" and "File Request" to the top and then using all that sidebar real estate down the right side to allow a longer list of permissions to be seen without having to click into the Collaborators menu? Will make reviewing/managing permissions by folder more efficient. Alternatively, instead of "+10 People, + 2 Groups," why not describe that menu: "Full Collaborator List" or something like that.
