"Show in Finder" Option for Box Drive
Hello Box Team,
I'd like to request a feature that would improve the desktop experience for Mac users of Box Drive.
Feature: A "Show in Finder" option, available via right-click (or a toolbar button) on any file or folder within the Box desktop app and web interface. Selecting it would open Finder with the corresponding local file pre-selected.
Why this would help: Many users work across both Box and local file management tools, particularly when handling multiple synced folders or nested project structures. Currently, there's no direct way to jump from a file in Box to its exact location on the Mac filesystem, so users have to search for it manually. Competing services like Dropbox and Google Drive already offer this functionality, and adding it to Box would bring the desktop experience up to par while saving users time.Platform: macOS (Box Drive desktop client)

Support more preview formats when it comes to professional photos
The list of new RAW photo formats supported by Box in preview hasn't been updated for a while.
In our case, we have a lot of assets in the .ARW and .CR3 formats which can't be previewed in Box and Box Hubs.
We recommend Box to work on supporting more photo and video formats, staying up to date with professional raw files.1 vote -

User dropdown for Box Forms
In Box Forms it would be very convenient to have a User dropdown field.
Many of our workflows have a user fill out a form, which is then rendered into a document and sent for approval - and often, approvers are not static (e.g. their manager).
It would be very convenient if they could select another Box user with a similar experience to the collaboration dialog, or when you're adding to a Box Sign - a few characters from their name or email will show matching users. This field would then expose both the user's name and their email as variables in subsequent Relay steps.
It would be even better if the selectable users could be limited to a predefined list - especially if that list could contain an existing Box group. That way, when we update our managers group all the associated forms would automatically update.
Right now, our workaround is to add fields for both Approver Name and Approver Email, and have the user either type or select from a static dropdown, which means we have to update many forms when we have org changes - and it's on the end user to correctly match the email and name.

Delete developer app authorization in the Admin Console
It would be helpful to add the ability to delete (server) App Authorization without being required to contact support. Currently when in the Admin Console > Integrations > Platform Apps Manager > View > Delete App, it will pull up a message requiring Box Support to be contacted to remove the App Authorization. It would be nice to be able to do this without all the extra steps.

Chart view - add Dates to the "Field to Visualize" option
Currently the options for "Field to Visualize" only includes dropdown metadata fields. It would be great if I could also select Date fields, maybe with options to break down by year/quarter/month etc.

When viewing someone else's public link, add an option "add shortcut to my drive".
Google Drive has this feature. It could be further locked down with security settings if orgs want to disable this. Otherwise, I have other companies that use Box sharing public links with me, but I need to bookmark them in my web browser because I cant add a shortcut to them in Box.com. Google Drive allows you to add a shortcut to public documents. The other workaround is to download a local copy and upload to my Box but then I don't get updates.

Notification(s) for Box Notes
In the "Inbox" of Box Notes, any Note that gets updated by someone is conveniently displayed at the top. While this feature is helpful, it can also be bothersome because Notes that I no longer need to see keep appearing at the top of my screen every time someone opens them. Additionally, I’d like to be able to turn off unread notifications for Notes that aren’t relevant to me.
It would be helpful to have a setting that allows users to turn update/unread notifications ON or OFF for each Note individually.
Box Notesの「Inbox」で表示されるBox Notesは、誰かに更新されるたびに分かりやすく一番上に更新されたNoteが表示されます。この機能は便利ですが、もう見る必要がないNoteも誰かが開くたび、自分の画面のトップに表示され続けるため煩わしいです。また、未読通知も自分にとって必要ないものはOFFにしたいです。
ユーザー自身でNoteごとに更新通知/未読通知をON/OFFできる設定があると便利です。

There's now an extra click to highlight text in a Box note and it's a little annoying :)
If I want to add highlight to some text in a Box note, the interface changed recently so that I have to highlight the text, click the "A - Text and Highlight color" button, and swap from text color to highlight. It's a bit of a pain to do that extra click!

Request to Enable Start Time Configuration for Shared Link Validity
I would like the ability to configure the start date and time for a shared link’s validity period.
For example, a shared link would become active and accessible 60 minutes after it is created.
This feature would help prevent issues caused by misconfigured shared link permissions or sending a shared link to the wrong recipient.3 votes -

Drive Map
It would be great if Box offered drive mapping with a drive letter, similar to Google Drive.
We've reached a bottleneck in our workflow because, as a content creation company, many of the applications we use such as Autodesk Maya require assets to be referenced using local file paths or mapped drive letters. Without this functionality, integrating Box into our production pipeline is difficult and limits its use for professional content creation workflows.

Hubs Contents
We would like to use Box Hubs as a knowledge base where team members can continuously share and accumulate information.
For example, in our procurement department, each buyer creates documents such as:
Supplier visit reports
Meeting minutes
Lessons learned
Best practicesOur goal is for each buyer to add these documents directly to a Hub so that the entire team can easily search and access the accumulated knowledge.
However, with the current permission model, only the Hub Owner/Co-owner (or users with folder ownership, depending on the Hub settings) can add content to a Hub. As a result, Editors cannot contribute directly, and a Hub administrator must add every document manually. This creates unnecessary administrative work and discourages continuous knowledge sharing.
We understand that Box Hubs is designed as a curated content portal, and the current permission model helps maintain security. However, many organizations would also like to use Hubs as a collaborative knowledge repository.
We would appreciate additional permission options, such as:
Allow Editors to add content to selected Hubs.
Allow Hub administrators to approve submitted content before it becomes visible.
Allow content to be added without automatically changing access permissions for Hub members.These options would make Box Hubs much more effective for enterprise knowledge management while still maintaining security and governance.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Request to fix the markdown preview display when using Firefox
When you log into Box and use the preview feature to display markdown, the screen differs between Edge and Firefox.
When displaying bullet points, Firefox does not display correctly as shown in the attached image.
I think the reason is that Firefox's bullet is larger than other browsers (indent size is insufficient).
Please improve the markdown preview display when using Firefox to match Edge.【In Japanese】

We would like to be able to check users’ departments from the UI:
Currently, you can view the usernames of users invited to a folder and the permissions granted to them within that folder.
However, there is no field in the account profile settings for entering a user’s department, so it cannot be easily checked.
While it is possible to work around this by adding the department to the username, this makes usernames longer and harder to read.
For example, I would like to be able to confirm a user’s department by displaying it in the same area as the permissions granted in the folder, or by showing the department when hovering the cursor over the username.--
UIからユーザーの所属部署を確認できるようにしたい:現在、フォルダに招待されたユーザーのユーザー名と、そのフォルダ内で付与された権限を確認できます。
しかし、アカウントプロファイル設定にはユーザーの所属部署を入力するフィールドがないため、簡単に確認できません。
ユーザー名に部署名を追加することで回避は可能ですが、これによりユーザー名が長くなり、読みづらくなります。例えば、フォルダ内で付与された権限と同じ領域に部署を表示する、またはユーザー名にカーソルを合わせた際に部署を表示するなどして、ユーザーの所属部署を確認できるようにしたいと考えています。

How to overwrite and save a file after changing its orientation
The recently released preview screen feature that lets you rotate documents is really helpful, as it allows us to view scanned data in the correct orientation.
I understand that the original data is not affected, but there is a need to overwrite and save files in their corrected orientation.
It would be even more convenient if there were a way to simply save the file as-is after changing its orientation.

Disposition Report should be able to show files that were deleted in the past
It's important for GxP compliance and ease of auditing to know what files were disposed of in the past, or during a specific period, like in the last 30 days, last 6 months, etc.
Disposition report should be able to show previous deletions, not just upcoming deletions, and admins should be able to filter by retention policy, and date.
