Cannot permanently delete a file with a retention policy before its expiration date (immediately)
Please enable immediate deletion for files that have a retention policy set for a specific period.
Additionally, there is an issue where files remain accessible via shared links until the retention policy period expires, so we would like to request implementation of a feature that disables shared links for items that meet specific conditions.

Display of account name when approval task or Box Relay creator user is deleted
After an account is deleted, the user who created an approval task is displayed as "Previous Collaborator," making it impossible to verify the approval status at that time. Please change this so that the username from that time continues to be displayed even after the account is deleted.

About the inconvenience of Explorer-style display
When I open a folder and find that it doesn’t contain what I’m looking for, I press Backspace to return to the parent folder. However, in Explorer view, the folder I just opened ends up hidden just above the visible area. This is extremely inconvenient.
Why does the system place the folder I just opened in a position where it’s hidden above? It would make sense to keep the previous window state as it was, or at least move the recently opened folder to the top of the visible list. But hiding it above makes no sense at all. Please stop this behavior—it’s completely unnecessary.When I open a folder and find that it doesn’t contain what I’m looking for, I press Backspace to return to the parent folder.

We want BoxRelay to work with the privileges of the user who actually started the workflow, not the user who created the workflow.
In the current specification, workflows in BoxRelay operate under the authority of the user who created the flow, not the user who executed the flow.
This causes confusion because there is a discrepancy with the actual operation performed. We would like to improve this so that Relay can correctly confirm who started the flow.【日本語】
BoxRelayについて、ワークフローを作成したユーザーではなく、実際にフローを開始したユーザーの権限で動作させたい現在の仕様では、BoxRelayのワークフローは、フローを実行したユーザー本人ではなく、フローを作成したユーザーの権限で動作するようになっています。
これでは実際に行われた操作と齟齬があり混乱を招くため、フローを開始した人が誰なのか、Relay側で正しく確認できるよう改善を希望します。18 votes -
Ability to search files by SHA1 value
Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.
Key use cases:
1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)SHA1 values are referenced here:

Support for fetching and modifying co-admin permissions.
Support for fetching and modifying co-admin permissions.
Currently, Box allows users to retrieve a user’s role as an attribute via the /users/{user_id} endpoint. The possible role values are “user,” “admin,” and “coadmin.” While permissions for the “user” role can be accessed through this endpoint, the permissions and privileges associated with the “coadmin” role cannot be retrieved or modified through the API. This functionality is, however, accessible through the admin console user interface.

Box AI Q/A on a folder
Currently, if you want to use Q/A on multiple files, you need to be able to select each file or put the content in a hub. It would be good if we were able to use Box AI with a selected folder(s) as context instead of just files.

We would like to make only files with a specific metadata template assigned eligible for publication in Hubs.
When publishing a folder to Hubs, all files under the target folder are published, which quickly exceeds the file limit for using Box AI for Hubs.
When publishing a folder, I want to filter and publish only the necessary files that have unique metadata (e.g., contracts, proposals, etc.) under that folder to the Hub, so that Box AI can be used more efficiently.
〈Hubsに掲載する対象は、特定のメタデータテンプレートが付与されているファイルにしたい〉
Hubsにフォルダを掲載する時、対象フォルダ配下のすべてのファイルが掲載され、Box AI for Hubsを利用できるファイル上限数をすぐに超過してしまいます。
フォルダを掲載する時は、フォルダ配下の中で固有のメタデータがついているファイルのみ（例：契約書や提案書など）を絞り込んだ状態で必要なファイルのみをHubに掲載し、Box AIをより効率的に使いたいです。

Zones assigned on folder instead of user
Hi Team,
I have a customer who is interested in folder level zones assignment instead of folder owner. They are currently using the service accounts for each zones and sharing the content that way but customer ideally wants it to be folder based (ie. one user to have folders associated with different zones since their lawyers work with content across multiple regions).Is there perhaps something coming to the roadmap?

Internal links to documents for collaboration
We use Box Drive for a native experience for users to access documents. The downside is when collaborating on documents, most people tend to upload a copy of the document to an email and send it, which results in multiple versions of the document. On my prior document system, Outlook would allow users to upload a file that was actually a link to the stored document so people could collaborate on it. I know we could create/send a shared link, but this would result in alot of unnecessary links floating around. Could Box Drive/Outlook prompt to upload a link to the actual document rather than a copy of the document? The link would follow existing permissions.

Hubs open documents in new tab
When opening a document in Box Hubs, the browser window is fully taken over by the document, and it's not currently possible to use standard browser actions like Ctrl+Click, middle mouse click, or right-click > "Open in New Tab." This limitation significantly hinders the ability to efficiently review multiple documents at once and makes side-by-side comparisons impossible. It would greatly improve productivity if Box Hubs allowed documents to be opened in new tabs. Please consider updating this feature.

Enabling Document Tab creation in a Box G Doc.
Currently when creating a GDoc from box there is no ability to create Document Tabs, and it advises to save the doc as a GDoc, which is technically already the file format. Can this feature be enabled? It would be useful for project management without our company.

More user-controlled settings (organizational and other)
Allow users to set default sorting method. E.g., I can choose to have files always appear in alphabetical order.
Furthermore, allow users any controls they would have with a regular file explorer. I genuinely don't understand why my workplace wants me to use Box: File Explorer But Worse Somehow™
Let users control their UI. It was reality a mere decade ago and now every company tries to obscure choice beyond reason. It's frustrating. We want our controls back.1 vote -

It would be useful to be able to exclude certain users (such as Admins) from the Notifications (specifically for downloads) so that the user does not get a notice. Example use case is in a DLP investigation or tools used, triggers a notice which we may not want visible to that end user.

Addition of Hong Kong Region
Some customers expanding their business in China or neighboring regions require a local data center for operational and compliance reasons. Adding a Hong Kong region would potentially broaden both customer usage and our proposal opportunities in these markets.
