Box Hubs Analytics
Would be great to see metrics on how adopted our Hubs are. How many visits, which box users are visiting, how long each visit is, etc. Is this on the roadmap?

Integrated Chat Functionality (Native to Box)
Our audience is mostly external partners, all who use disparate communication platforms like Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Zoom, etc. Integrating a single third-party chat option into our Box Hubs environment risks alienating some of our external partners who are unable to use that specific platform due to their organization’s IT guidelines. It would be beneficial to have a native, lightweight and persistent chat area within our Box Hubs environment (maybe as a side panel similar to Box AI) that would allow users to communicate immediately about content and projects and ask questions without having to leave the Box environment.

Editing Box Hubs: Adding a description to a file or folder
I'd like to be able to add a short description to each file and folder I add to the Hub.
For example, a description is added just below the file or folder icon, or a speech bubble appears when you hover the cursor over the file or folder icon.19 votesThis suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release.

Adding Font Colors
Please add gray as a font color option in Box Hubs, similar to Box Notes.
The gray color is very useful for representing supplemental information.2 votes -
Make Banner Icon Editable within Box Hubs
There is a small square icon that appears in the banner at the top of Box Hubs, this is the same icon shown on the list view before entering the Hub itself. The customer would like to be able to edit this icon, and remove it. Visually, its redundant and takes up space, and they don't have a good image to input into that space, for each specific hub. They use the banner for this purpose.

Improvement of search within the Hub
We would like to search for information within texts in the Hub, not only from files and folders in the Hub.
Currently, to enable information search within the Hub, we compile all information in Box Notes and add it to the Hub. However, this results in longer access times for users. We would like to improve the issue where supplementary texts written within pages are not searchable.1 vote -
Add # of files to Box Hubs Report
Box Hubs fails if there are over 10,000 files linked to in the hub. It would be helpful to have a report that could report the total number of files available in a hub to help ensure we stay below this limit and/or if we exceed this limit, we can move content to a different hub and judge the impact of moving specific folders to better balance the load.

Increase collaboration invitation limit for Hubs beyond 500
Hubs owners/coowners can only invite 500 individual collaborators to a Hub. This poses a challenge for customers who have restrictive external collaboration settings that prevent the creation of public shared links, and need to provide access to external users via invitations to collaborate on files/folders. This limit needs to be increased (or eliminated) to support large enterprises with more restrictive security settings. Leveraging Groups is not a good alternative for users who primarily intend to use Hubs for external collaboration.

Streamline process for inviting free users to Hubs
If a customer has restricted users' ability to create public shared links, they can only invite external users to Hubs if they already have a Box account. It would be ideal if this process worked the same way as it does if you invite an external user to a file/folder, where they are prompted to create a Box account (free or otherwise) and can then view the Hub. This adds friction into the process for users that are leveraging Box for external collaboration.

Document Summarization via Mind Map and Audio
I’d like to suggest adding an option to summarize documents in the Box hub using a mind map format and audio, similar to what platforms like NotebookLM offer.

Hide contributors on Box Hubs
Customers need the ability to hide who their published Hubs are shared with. They are sharing information with multiple customers who may be competitors of one another, and want to prevent them from seeing who else is accessing the information.

Use Box AI by selecting multiple files from Hubs search results
Customers want to implement an experience in Hub that allows them to select files from search results and use Box AI, just like the search function on Box.
Customer Needs:
Currently, if Box AI for Hubs does not provide the correct answer, they would like to select files from keyword search results and use Box AI.
Box上の検索機能のように検索結果からファイルを選択してBox AIを使う体験をHubでも実装することを顧客が希望しています。

Box Hubs: Allow search functionality within Box Hubs for users without Box accounts
Current functionality: If a user without a Box account access a Box Hub through a shared link, they do not see the search bar
Desired functionality: A user without a Box account accessing a Box Hub will still be able to use the search bar
Use Case: Using Box as a marketing DAM housing photos. A hub could be used to provide access to approved photos so that non-Box users can search for approved photos they need.

How to Prevent Content with Classification Labels from Being Published on Hubs
We want to set up a system so that if a user tries to publish a folder or file with a specific classification label to Hubs, a warning message will appear or an alert will be sent to administrators.
Within our company, we assign classification labels to content that is kept private except for specific users, and we are also careful when granting access permissions. However, if such content is published on Hubs, any user who can view the Hub will be able to access the content, which defeats the purpose. We want to be able to strictly manage the…3 votes -
Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites and add this folder to a Hub
In the Box Support article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/25870093558675-Adding-Content-to-Box-Hubs, it says this checkbox reads "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites and add this folder to a Hub"
The actual setting in Box only says "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites" leaving out the part about Box Hubs, this needs to be updated.
This also relates to: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/48513617-unable-to-add-a-content-to-a-hub-site-due-to-folde where this setting really makes no sense as inviting collaborators really has nothing to do with attaching files and folders into a Box Hub.

Hubs - Add ability to arrange sections horizontally
Will there eventually be an opportunity to arrange sections horizontally in the future? Thinking more like a canvas for a dashboard.

Multiple metadata templates can be added to Hubs
Currently, only one metadata template can be added to the Hub search function, but we would like to set up multiple templates.
Customer use case:
The customer is using metadata on a business unit basis, and is designing metadata templates on a smaller scale than the Hub. (Example: Sales campaign management)
The customer is concerned that if they create a Hub for the sales department, they will only be able to search metadata related to sales campaigns, and there will be no opportunity to improve searchability using other metadata.
現状Hubの検索機能に追加できるメタデータテンプレートは1つだが、複数設定したい。
顧客ユースケース:
顧客は業務単位でメタデータ活用を進めており、Hubよりも小さな単位でメタデータテンプレートを設計しています。（例: 営業キャンペーン管理）
営業部用のHubを作った場合に営業キャンペーンに関するメタデータ検索しかできず、その他のメタデータを使った検索性向上の機会がなくなってしまうことを懸念しています。2 votes -
How to Replace SharePoint with Hubs
🙏 Please help us deprecate Microsoft SharePoint by providing the following five features in Hubs:
- Pages within a Hub, preferably navigable in a horizontal structure at the top of the Hub (I believe this is already in the works - yay!)
- A no-code way to access/interact with a Viva Engage community that we have built to facilitate company-wide communication around many specific topics.
- Ability to place images directly on the Hub page and scale as desired, more like current capability in a Box Note (carousel view option)
- Ability to embed a video for viewing within the Hub
- Ability to assemble…

Disable Public Links for Box Hubs Specifically
Box Hubs permissions are tied to global shared link settings which makes it impossible to block public links without disabling it across all documents and folders. I would like to be able to specifically disable public links for Box Hubs as the risk profile is far greater than the normal file/folder.
Our worst case scenario is that someone accidentally provides a publicly accessible link to a Hub which would "break" permissions for all files and folders added to it.
