Limit the amount of data a user can delete
There have been repeated incidents where users accidentally delete large amounts of data from Box Drive. Each time, administrators are required to restore the data.
However, administrators cannot restore the data until the deletion process is fully completed, and even then, the restoration takes as much time as the deletion, which disrupts business operations.We would like to set an upper limit on the amount of data that users (other than Box administrators and co-administrators) can delete at one time, in order to prevent users from accidentally deleting large amounts of data.
〈ユーザーが削除できるデータ容量を制限する〉
Box Driveでユーザーが誤って大量のデータを削除してしまう事件が繰り返し発生しています。そのたびに管理者がデータを復元する必要があります。しかし、管理者は削除処理が完全に終了するまでデータを復元することができず、さらに復元にも削除と同じくらいの時間がかかるため、業務の妨げとなっています。ユーザー（Box管理者および共同管理者以外）が一度に削除できるデータ容量の上限を設定することで、ユーザーが誤って大量のデータを削除してしまうことを防ぎたいと考えています。

Collaboration - Asset Transformation (ability to resize assets), DAM feature
Many Digital Asset Management Solutions allow Asset transformation (the ability to dynamically resize/reformat assets without manual intervention)
Use case: I create a new design that I want launch to different marketing campaigns (instagram, tiktok, email hero image, website hero image etc). From one design, I need to automatically create different sizes for each location.

Send Signature Request on Behalf of Another User
Requesting the ability to act as another Box user when requesting a signature on a document. Use case is where an executive needs a doc for signature, and their admin generates that request on the exec's behalf -- the exec name holds more weight, so the ability for that admin to be granted extended Sign privileges to be able to send a request as if they were the exec. This is similar to Zoom's scheduling privileges where a user can schedule meetings as a "delegate" of another user (and the meeting invite looks as if it was coming from the user themselves, vs as the delegate).

Enhanced Detail when an upload fails and notification of upload failure sends out.
When an email upload fails, there is no level of detail associated with the notification sent from Box. It would be extremely helpful to be notified of exactly which upload or folder location of the failure that occured.

"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)

Enable HTML Rendering in Box Mobile
Box Mobile should support HTML rendering, consistent with the Box web experience.
Without mobile rendering, users must download files, open another application, or wait until they can access a desktop browser.
Enabling HTML rendering in Box Mobile would provide a consistent cross-platform experience and allow users to securely view HTML content directly within Box.2 votes -
Pin, Save, and Organize Box AI Sessions for Reuse
Let us pin, favorite, or save Box AI session conversations so we can get to them more quickly. Perhaps even let us organize them within Collections.
We can currently search and browse our session history, but for those sessions we need to come back to frequently, the ability to favorite them or add them to a collection would let us get to them more efficiently.

Separate the LLM disablement settings for Box Agents and Custom Agents
With the recent release (Admin model controls for the Box Agent), disabling an LLM also makes it unavailable for selection when creating a custom agent in AI Studio. However, there are cases where customers want to remove an LLM from the models available for Box Agent while still allowing it to be used in custom agents for specific scenarios.

LLM無効化の設定をBox Agent用とカスタムエージェント用と分離してほしい管理コンソールで特定のLLMを無効化するとBox Agent（Box AI Home, Hubs, Notes, Documents）だけでなくAI Studioで作成するカスタムエージェントでもそのLLMが利用不可になります。これは特定のシナリオで特定のLLMを利用したいユーザーのニーズに反するため、個別に設定できるようにしてほしい。

Reflect Web "Home Page" (Account Settings) setting in the iOS/iPadOS app
Please improve the Box app for iPhone/iPad so that the "Home Page" setting
configured under [Account Settings] > [Home Page] on the web app (e.g.
setting Collections as the landing view) is also applied when logging in
via the iOS/iPadOS app.Currently, the "All Files" view is shown by default on mobile regardless
of this setting. For users who collaborate on many folders, this makes
the first screen after login cluttered and harder to navigate, especially
compared to the web experience where a curated Home Page can be set.Aligning this behavior between web and mobile would let users land on
their preferred view (e.g. Collections) consistently across devices,
improving usability for anyone managing a large number of folders.

We need a more granular privacy option for Box folders.
When Folder Settings → Privacy → Hide collaborators and their activity from non-owners is enabled, Editors, Viewers, and Previewers see “Someone” in the UPDATED column instead of the real person who last updated a file or folder.
We need to retain this privacy setting because limited-access users must not be able to see:
The collaborator list
Other collaborator names
Viewer or previewer names
Recent-activity avatars
Content Insights or Access Stats
Download, preview, or view activity
However, they need to see the identity of the single user who most recently updated each item in the folder list.
Please add a separate Folder Privacy option such as:
“Show last updated by name to non-owners”
This option should affect only the file/folder list’s UPDATED field. It must not reveal the collaborator list, historic activity, viewer/previewer identities, access statistics, Insights, comment authors, or Version History contributors.
Business need: In compliance, invoice, diligence, and document-control workflows, staff need basic accountability for the latest change. Today Box forces us to choose between protecting user privacy and knowing who is responsible for the most recent update. We need both

Preventing Log Loss Caused by Delayed Events in the Events API
We use the Box Events API to send event logs to Sumo Logic.
We are currently experiencing recurring cases where events that appear in the User Activity Report in the Box Admin Console are not present in the Box event logs collected by Sumo Logic.We asked Sumo Logic to investigate this issue. They explained that the Box Source continuously retrieves events using the position information returned by the Events API. However, there may be a delay between the time an action occurs in Box and the time the corresponding event becomes available through the API. If a delayed event is later added to a range that has already been processed, it may no longer be retrieved.
We have observed this behavior in our environment, where some events appear in the User Activity Report but cannot be found in Sumo Logic.
Because we send these event logs to Sumo Logic for auditing and security purposes, we would appreciate an enhancement that ensures delayed events can also be retrieved without being missed.
Please consider improving the Events API so that events can be retrieved reliably during continuous log collection.【In Japanese】

Events APIにおける遅延イベントログの欠落防止について＜本文＞
BoxのEvents APIを利用して、Sumo Logicへイベントログを連携しています。
現在、Box Admin ConsoleのUser Activity Reportでは確認できるイベントが、Sumo Logicで収集したBoxイベントログには存在しないケースが継続して発生しています。Sumo Logicへ調査を依頼したところ、Box SourceではEvents APIから返却される位置情報を利用して継続的にイベントを取得している一方、Box上での操作時刻とイベントがAPIから取得可能になる時刻に差が生じる場合があり、遅れて公開されたイベントがすでに取得済みの範囲に追加された場合、取得できなくなる可能性があるとの説明を受けています。
実際に当環境でも、User Activity Report上には存在するものの、Sumo Logicでは確認できないイベントが発生しています。
監査・セキュリティ用途でイベントログをSumo Logicへ連携しているため、遅延して公開されたイベントについても欠落なく取得できる仕組みをご検討いただけないでしょうか。

Export or download a snapshot of current admin configuration
Provide a method, by web UI or by API, to download or export a human-readable comprehensive snapshot of the current admin configuration.
Problems this would solve:
1. When working with Box Support, admins now may have to self-report current configuration state. This process is subject to human error. Instead, an exported snapshot would allow admins to provide an inherently valid representation of the current state.
2. Today, Box Reporting can produce records of change events, but for the admin tracking these, there's no record of the prior state. With this new feature, admins could archive point-in-time snapshots of the state in commodity version control systems. This would provide the ability to "time travel" to inspect any prior state for which a snapshot exists.This snapshot should capture all settings and text box input within Enterprise Settings and also for additionally-licensed products like Box Shield.
Optionally, allow export of settings on just a single tab.
Optionally, if Box allows the import and commitment of prior snapshots, this would allow for quick reversion of even complex changes as long as a pre-change snapshot is available. One way to implement this would be to prompt for human confirmation before any individual updates are committed based on such an import.
This idea may be related to https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/46585150-export-and-import-admin-console-configuration-via

We need to control the ability for external individuals to access the online Box document upload only during business hours.
We need to restrict external users' ability to access the online Box document upload to business hours only. The thought is the admin controls should a) allow for the parameters to be set (M-F 9am-4pm, federal holidays excluded), and b) allow a custom message to be displayed outside of those hours/days.

Multi files for Box Sign with Automate
Box Sign give the possibility to add more than one file for signature in the same flow. With Automate, only one file is available to be added and that is not acceptable.
I generate a doc gen file automatically from a form fields that triggered my Automate.
Then I have to request a signature using Box Sign on that generated file, but I have to add the file I uploaded into my form and it's not possible ?!
Please, give us the possibility to use Box Sign with Automate in the same way as the app.
And also add the possibility to get the uploaded file as a working field in Automate.
