API Calls to Get Folder ID from File Request URL
Currently the only way to get the Folder ID that's associated for a File Request URL that exists is to know the Folder ID or the File Request ID that you're looking for before you do. Its easy if the user says this is the folder, but if they only have the link you're forced to run User Activity reports to attempt to locate what was created, even harder if you don't know the original user who created the file request and they don't know the folder.
It would be extremely beneficial to be able to make an API call with the link url and have it return the folder ID and file request ID.

"search filter" "folder location" unselecting parent still requires to unselect all subfolders
Asume, when running a search and selecting File Type "Folders" and an "owner", the search results delivers thousands of folders.
Now I want to use the filter option to exclude a parent folder which I know has several hundred subfolders, but unselecting the parent folder does require me to sunselect all the subfolders inside of the parent folder one by one...
This is not practical and unselecting a parent folder should also exclude all subfolders from that parent.
Actually I had never seen it the way it is implemented in Box...4 votes -
Restrict more special characters used in naming all uploads
to have an account or folder level setting/configuration that will allow account admins to enforce MS windows file/folder naming restrictions for all uploads (This includes restriction that following characters aren't allowed: " \ / : | < > * ?. )
We have a production issue where a partner is dropping folders in Box that do not meet Windows naming convention (they're using *) and that is causing a failure with download from Box.

Displaying tags in grid view
Tags are displayed in list view.
It would be nice if it was also displayed in grid view.This is because we often use a grid view of photos.

Changed conditions for sending invitation deadline notification emails for external users
Currently, invitation deadline notification emails are sent to external users under the following conditions
- co-owner of the folder
- the user has been personally invited to the folder
- direct collaborators of the folder.
Please change the specification so that notification emails can be received even if the user is invited as a group rather than as an individual under condition 2.

Visual indicator when Box Canvas user is just a viewer, not editor
When using Canvas as a viewer, the user may try to vote on the sticky notes, or try to locate the toolbar, and think that something is broken, when in reality they are looking for features available to editors only.
We should consider adding some visual indicator of the "view only" status e.g. a banner or a badge at the top, an icon over which a user can hover over to get more info, or an icon by the cursor arrow to indicate editing is disabled.

Stand up on bandwidth and API usage.
Hi I am a user on the Enterprise plan, but the limitations on upload/download and API calls for the Enterprise plan are really not enough.
Can the monthly file upload and download or bandwidth usage limit be changed to 10TB?
As for API calls per month, can the monthly API call limit be changed to 2,000,000?
I think this replacement rule proposal is a good fit for both parties.

Contact information options for outage notification
During the recent outage, a notification was provided with the email address of our primary admin, which is a service account. This should instead default to our support contact information, as defined under Custom Setup. We currently have no option to change this behaviour.

Make initial sorting of folders into Collections easier
I have a lot of Box folders shared with me that I cannot organize into broader folders. To help with the initial process of using Collections to organize all of these folders, it would be great if there was a way to view all folders while on the Collections page and they could disappear as you “collect” them so you easily know when you’ve put them all in their various Collections (similar to filing things on File Explorer).

Heading 1/2/3 Keyboard Commands for Box Notes for Feature Parity in Google Docs
As a new boxer, I have found it odd to not have certain keyboard commands in Box Notes that I am accustomed to in other similar apps (specifically Google Docs). The one that I would prioritize would be to quickly change heading styles. In Google Docs it is (on a Mac) Command+Option+1/2/3/(0 for "Body") while text is highlighted or at the beginning of a new line.
Hopefully this can be quickly implemented as it would be a welcome addition to heavy users of Box Notes.

Pre-Selecting item on new list view & grid view
Previousely list view was shown information in the right pane by ジュst only selecting an item with the cursor like a Stepping stone.
You can't do that with the new UI.
Check >shown > Uncheck >move next item> Check next >shown>Uncheck....and more...
it's not speedy action.
We know that pre-selected items by cusor↓↑key, move to checkbox using tab key then enter key, then check each item.But need keyboard shortcuts easier.
Like a round robbin.

Request improvement so that users who do not have output permission do not display the download button for Content Insight activities
For users who cannot create a folder in the root folder in a closed environment, pressing the "Download" button on the Content Insights activity will result in the error message "Sorry, the report could not be generated. Please try again." .
If the download button is displayed, users who do not have the output authority will mistakenly think that they can download the report, and error messages will appear and the number of inquiries to the administrator will increase.
Therefore, we would like to see improvements.＜出力権限のないユーザーにコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないよう改善を希望＞
クローズド環境でルートフォルダにフォルダを作成できないユーザーの場合、コンテンツインサイトのアクティビティの「ダウンロード」ボタンを押すと、「レポートを生成できませんでした。後でもう一度やり直してください。」というエラーが表示されます。
ダウンロードボタンが存在することで、出力権限がないユーザーもダウンロードできると勘違いしてしまい、エラーが表示され管理者への問い合わせが増えるため、出力権限がないユーザーにはコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないように改善を希望します。26 votes -
Adding custom shapes to Canvas
I would like to be able to add shapes to Canvas, for example the AWS shape library to mirror the behaviour of another white boarding tool we're currently using.
This would allow us to collaborate on complex architecture diagrams using very specific shapes/icons.
Some ways this could be introduced:
-shapes available to all Canvas users
- or the ability to add templates pre-populated with custom shapes
-or the ability to upload custom shapes for the entire instance7 votes -
I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files
Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages■procedure
①Lock the target file
②Download the file and update it locally
③Upload updated files
④Unlock■demerit
Many steps and cumbersome
If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

Relay stacking
I would like to be able to apply relays for folders that don't exist yet. If I create a relay for a folder to be created, I'd like to be able to stack that for the sub folders.
For example each year I create quarterly folders and then I can automatically copy files into those folders. Right now I have to wait until I create the folders to build the relay to copy files.

Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling
When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.
I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

BOX Sign - Creating templates without attaching document
We use BOX sign for approval of signatures in all types of documents. It would be a nice feature to be able to create a template for each approver without having to upload a document when creating the template. The only why I can accomplish this right now is to upload a blank document in the template. Then when I use the template I have to replace the blank document with whatever document that we need approval.

Issue with File Viewing Recorded as Editing ファイル閲覧が編集として記録される問題
I would like to request an improvement regarding the issue where simply viewing a file is recorded as editing. Viewing and editing are different activities and should be recorded and displayed separately.
ファイルを閲覧しただけでも編集者として記録される現象について、改善を希望します。閲覧と編集は異なるアクティビティで、別々に記録・表示されるべきだと考えます。

Request to improve behavior where updaters are visible only when operating from mobile
Hi Box Teams,
I would like to improve the following behavior.
Problem behavior:
If non-collaborators access the People with the link from Box's web app, they won't see who updated the file, but if they access it from Box's mobile app, they'll see who updated the file.This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the user has the permission of the editor or lower, the user who updated the file is displayed as "Anonymous".
Expected Behavior:
Since we have set the folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the information, we would like to not show the information of the person who updated the file, even if the access is from an open link, even if the access is from Box web app or mobile app.Conditions for creating a problem
・The following folder settings are enabled:[folder setting]>[Privacy]>[Collaborators]>[Hide callaborators and their activity from non-owners]
・A file with a shared link was last modified by the owner or co-owner of the folder.
・The scope of shared link disclosure is set in People with the link for files under the folder.
・Non-collaborators access the shared link and view it in the Box mobile app.
Specific steps to reproduce the problem：
(1)From a mobile device, a user who is not a collaborator accesses a shared link whose disclosure range is People with the link.- At this time, if the Box application is not installed, the default web browser changes to the Box mobile site, where file information can be checked, but the name of the person who updated the file is not displayed.
(2) You will be redirected to the Box app. If you are not logged in, you will be asked to log in, so you have to log in to the Box app.
(3) Displays the contents of the shared link destination.
(4) Display "File information" from "..."
(5) "Update time" and "Updater name" are displayed in the "Change date" item.
- This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the permission is less than or equal to the editor, "Anonymous" is displayed.
I'm sorry to trouble you, but I appreciate your consideration.
Best
