Ability to create Powerpoint presentation directly from a template
Our company has a template that we should use to create PowerPoint presentations. But there is no way to directly create a powerpoint from a template in Box. The templates can either be saved on OneDrive (which beats the purpose of using Box) or on desktop app (which doesn't sync with Box). Currently I have a few workarounds like copy/edit an existing file or create one on desktop and then save the file on Box. In the second option, you have to click on each folder to find the destination folder (which can be many layers deep). However, if I…

Edit Locked files when Co-Authoring is turned on by the user trying to edit
Our workflow uses both coauthoring and often requires locking files to prevent others from editing while in use. The new coauthoring with Office locks out the user that is trying to edit the file. It would be nice to be able to use both when needed. Now, if a user tries to lock a file to prevent access to it while editing, that same user that locked the file is prevented from editing it. Or maybe add an additional option to edit and lock.

Ability to read files in view only MSFT Online
With preview not always displaying the content accurately we would like the ability to open content in Office Online but with only viewer permission. This would allow users restricted to View only to view the content accurately.

Box for Office Logs
Log files are stored with annoying date stamp format. Log files should be stored like BoxExcelLogDate.txt rather than BoxExcelLog.txtdate.

Comments in the preview and the word/docx file should be synchronized
Right now, there are two layers of comments when reviewing a word/docx file. If comments are added in the preview, they are not visible when the file is opened in editing/review mode. Furthermore, if comments are marked as resolved in the online editor, the "resolved" status is not persistent if the file is downloaded, edited offline, and uploaded again as a new version.

Outlook Integration - Box Embed Widget/ Folder Tree View
It would be useful to offer users of Outlook a view into all of their Box files via a folder tree or embed widget. They could easily drag and drop emails or attachments into the relevant folders to be stored as well as viewing their content/ reading archived emails. Supporting our philosophy of integration and being able to surface content through popular applications. Requested by customer Eric Wright Group in EMEA.

Office Online hide collaborator name while coauthoring
Currently Box Folder setting "Hide collaborators" disables Office Online. I am guessing this is because Office Online will display the name of our co-editors that are currently in the document. We would like to see Office Online support the Hide collaborators setting, by displaying "edited by someone" rather than calling out the name of the co-editors when this folder setting is checked.

Ability to specify display sheet in URL
<How to specify the Excel display sheet by URL>
If you add "#p = number of pages" to the end of the URL, you can display the specified page in PowerPoint or Word.
In Excel, there was no way to specify the URL of the sheet to be displayed when accessing.
We need the ability to specify an Excel sheet in a URL.
We hope this function will be realized.＜Excelの表示シートをURLで指定する方法＞
URLの後ろに「#p=ページ数」を付与すると、PowerPointやWordでは指定のページを表示することができます。
Excelではアクセス時に表示するシートをURL指定する方法がありませんでした。
URLでExcelのシートを指定する機能を必要としています。
この機能の実現を望みます。7 votes -
Co-edit password-protected files
Under current specifications, password-protected files are not supported by Box for Office Online and cannot be co-edited.
The password must be removed on the file for collaborative editing.
We request the ability to collaborate on editing even passworded files, such as being able to temporarily remove the password on Box.3 votes -

Create folders under the ownership of the Teams channel owner instead of under the service account
Microsoft Teams channels should have the option to automatically create folders under the ownership of the Teams channel owner instead of under the service account. If the channel owner changes, they want it to move that content to a new owner. I picture this mounting under the [USER]/Microsoft Teams Folder/[TEAM].
The current integration only mounts to the service account for Teams channels .This feature is required for tracking governance of data.

Ability to create & manage smart/dynamic Folders
Based on specified criteria, populate a folder with documents stored elsewhere in Box. For example, we have numerous W-9 forms stored in various places in our Box files. We would like to specify a Smart or Dynamic folder with the criterion of populating it with any of our files that have "W-9" in the name. It is essentially a smart search.

Box for Office plug-in (Recent Files or Folders)
Please increase the number of Recent Files / Folders permitted (currently fixed at 3).
Personally I can be editing many spreadsheets in a single day, and so this quickly becomes almost useless.
Ideally allow me to configure this with the optimum number, but just fixing at 10 or 20 would help enormously1 vote -
Allow Excel Formulas to Link Directly to Files on Box
Currently, when you open Excel on Desktop, it creates a temporary file on your own computer. When trying to connect one report to another through formulas, this results in the formula looking for the report on your desktop instead of the location the report is saved on Box. In order for the formula to update properly, you need to have both reports open at the same time.
