  1. I want to set conditions for files in File Request

    I want to limit the types of files that can be received by checking file extensions (Word, Excel, Power Point, PDF, image, video, audio files, etc.)
    I want to be able to set a single file size limit.

    Implementing this function improves security.

    (Japanese)
    【ファイルリクエストでファイルに条件の設定をしたい】

    ファイルの拡張子(Word, Excel ,Power Point , PDF、画像、ビデオ、オーディオファイル等)のチェックを付けられるようにして受け取れるファイル種別を制限したい
    単一ファイルサイズの上限の設定をできるようにしたい。

    この機能を実現することでセキュリティ面が向上します。

  3. Increase maximum image size for branding a File Request to above 1 MB

    Upload limit for Box File Request Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is way too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.

    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a549049/photo-won-t-upload-to-your-profile?lang=en

    Google: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6103862?hl=en#:~:text=Photo%20guidelines,px%20tall%2C%20720%20px%20wide.

    Solution: Literally just copy how Google Forms does it...........

  4. File size upload limit - Option to choose any file size from 1MB - 150GB

    I am suggesting a file size upload limitation setting to be lower than the existing 2GB.

    The reason why is because some companies who are hyper sensitive to malware and virus issues want the ability to deep scan EVERY file uploaded into Box. Currently, deep scan is only able to scan files that are less than 200MB in size. This is a gap that can be solved by reducing the maximum file upload size into Box to 200MB.

    While this greatly restricts the size of files being uploaded into Box, it gives the customer an option to choose one over…

  5. [File Request] cascade feature to allow granular uploading of files to a folder structure / subfolders.

    [File Request] feature to allow uploading files to a folder structure / subfolders. The "Submit Files" page does not provide any context regarding the linked folder name without having to manually input this, and doesn't provide subfolders to allow the user to drill down and upload files into the subfolder of which they choose (with breadcrumbs of course to navigate back to the root folder share via the File Request URL. Currently users have to create a File Request per folder or invite users in to the parent folder as a "Previewer Uploader" in order to upload.

    Alternatively, I'd just…

  6. File Request URL Parameters

    It would be awesome to be able to pre-populate the metadata fields via URL parameters. This is particularly useful when sending the request to clients and wanting to make it as easy as possible for them to upload their documents. Some other functions along with that which would be nice are.

    1. Pre-fill metadata (all metadata types) from URL parameters
    2. Disable metadata field when it is pre-filled by URL
    3. Hide metadata field when it is pre-filled

    Thanks for the consideration.

  7. Too many clicks to share files + see download activity!

    I'm finding it inconvenient that, to share a link once it's uploaded in the web interface, I have to click "Create & Copy Shared Link", then click "Link settings", then click "Copy", then click "Save", then click the X to close the window. That's five clicks just to grab the direct link. It may not seem like much, but it adds up - and I could have sworn it was a faster, more efficient process in earlier versions of Box years ago.

    Not only that, but the recent change to the layout of the web interface in terms of seeing…

  8. Allow Admins to STOP Email Uploads Success/Failure Notifications

    We have a requirement for some groups to email reports into Box folders. When using the Email Upload functionality, Box will send the uploading user an email to confirm whether their upload completed successfully or failed. Employees receive excessive emails since we cannot stop Box from sending these confirmations.
    Just make it an option in the admin console to shut off these confirmation emails.

  9. Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request

    A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

  10. Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads

    Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.

    a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.

  12. Add Support for .icon

    It's been 17 years since Box came online. Isn't it about time stop nagging about Mac's .icon invisible files when we upload a custom folder?
    Or at least NOT stop the uploading process just to nag me about that?
    It's metadata.
    Along with .TS_FOLDER they're part of the system. The end user has no control over that.
    Please either offer support for .icon or ignore it.
    Just don't keep nag about it for the next 17 years. Please.

  13. Ability to sort bookmarks with other files (e.g., alphabetically)

    Please allow links/bookmarks within folders to be sorted (e.g., alphabetically) and not stuck to the end of the list. This would make it easier to find items that are dated; I, for example, have all my items dated, and it's super inconvenient to have the bookmarks located separately/out of order within my folders.

  16. Request for improvement of mail upload function

    I found a problem with the current mail upload function, so I would like Box to improve it.

    Users with Editor permission can change the settings of the folder's mail upload function.
    However, I would like to add the ability to restrict this permission to owners and co-owners to the administrative console and the settings for each folder.

    [Request (2) Timing for saving the settings of the mail upload function]
    If you click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" about the mail upload function of the folder, the URL for the…

  18. Universal and Individual Upload Pause and Throttle

    Problem: I'm uploading a lot of relatively large files. The urgency for these is low, but it will take a long time to upload. During this time, I have smaller high priority files to send to a client for approval. However, uploading these smaller, but more important files using a different service is extremely slow. A 30 second upload becomes a 10-minute upload.

    Solution: Have individualized pause buttons on each uploading item AS WELL AS a universal pause on uploads. Also, a throttle to limit it from using all of the bandwidth would be nice, too. Please also make this…

  19. File upload restriction to ensure file name matches the folder name

    We would like to store files in the correct folder for each customer.
    What I want to say is that we have to accurately store files entrusted to us by our clients in the proper folders. However, this is done manually by a person, so it is possible to make a mistake but we are not allowed to make mistakes.

    Therefore, when storing files in a folder, we would like to establish a mechanism to block attempts to store files that do not match by having the file name and folder name match.
    Is this possible? If this is not possible,…

  20. Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    E.g. add more fields, enable option so the File Request does not have to all be completed all at once, enable a dashboard for sender and receiver to see completion progress on the full File Request, enable ability for creator of file request to approve items on the file request and mark them complete, enable ability for sender and receiver to edit the File Request retroactively after submissions.
