Automatic Size All Columns to Fit for Box Drive
It would be great if all columns in the box drive could be automatically expanded so that file names are not cut off. This feature is available in another product that we used.

Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy
Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

Change the target of "Application Restrictions" (shared link creation / DL, etc.)
【English】
If "Restrict to applications" is turned on, all users will not be able to perform operations such as DL, editing, and creating shared links at once.
We would like to see a change so that the target of "Application Restrictions" (shared link creation / DL, etc.) can be specified.【日本語】
「アプリケーションへの制限」をONにした場合に全てのユーザーはDL・編集・共有リンク作成等の操作がまとめて不可となってしまいます。
「アプリケーションへの制限」の適用対象(共有リンク作成 / DL等)が指定できるようになるよう変更してほしい。2 votes -
Google Workspace - Add Collaborators/Check for Collaborators
The Google Workspace add-on only allows you to create a Shared Link to share files/folders, you cannot add/remove collaborators. It would be great to have the ability to add folks as collaborators, rather than just choosing from Shared Link settings. Additionally, it would be great if when sharing the file it could be recognized that recipients on the email and/or calendar invite do not have existing permissions to the file/folder (similar to what Google does.)

Having staggard jobs for high number of file transfer through box shuttle
Currently box shuttle does not give the option to run the job either by size of data transfer or number of files.
If we have the option to stagger the job by number of files or size or even system auto divides the job into sub jobs then data transfer can be even faster and more convenient to handle.

Privileged Identity Management
I would like to see the ability to apply PIM for Box Admin and Co-Admin roles; a mechanism whereby the Admin role is granted for a minimal amount of time based on the Just in Time principle.
We would like to see minimum privileges, minimum time, and consistent with the company's zero-trust strategy.
Box管理者、共同管理者のロールについて、PIMを適用できるようにしてほしい。Just in Time の原則に基づき、最小限の時間だけ管理者ロールが付与される仕組み。
最小権限、最小時間を実現し、企業のゼロトラスト戦略との整合性を取ってほしい。

Retention policy details in the Trash UI
The Bin/Trash UI displays Retention policy details the first time you trash an item until you navigate away.
Ability to have this info visible at all times in Trash UI would be helpful to end users and admin rather than running reports to check status of a single file.14 votes -
Approval Result Email
The account that executed the trigger that started the BoxRelay will receive an email with the approval results of the relay, but we would like to limit the notification of the approval results.
(Ex. No email notification of approval results during the flow, only the final results are emailed, etc.)3 votes -
Hide older versions from certain collaborator levels
When you share a file/folder with another user, no matter what permission level you give them they are able to see all older versions. It would be great if we could hide those from lower level collaborators like you can do with comments.

SSO Break Glass Account
I have a customer that recently let their SSO certificate expire and when they tried to fix the problem they were completely locked out of their account and were not able to go in and resolve it themselves. They went to support who was ultimately able to help them, but not before a LOT of escalations. The customer stated that other online systems offer a special "break glass" administrative account that when logging in to the system can bypass SSO to get into the account and resolve whatever issue that needs to be resolved. They are asking for a similar approach with Box.

Bring excel online previewer to mobile
Bring the features of Excel Online Previewer to the mobile app. Currently formatting is stripped and long text boxes are cutoff when previewing an excel document on mobile. It would be ideal to have the formatting remain the same and be viewable within preview, OR as a backup to be able to drag to resize directly from within preview - like you can on desktop.

Allow bulk action on Shield malicious content alerts
Allow bulk action on BoxShield malicious content alerts. We have seen an extremely high rate of positives. Individually marking files as safe is not scalable, and need to be able to do bulk updates.

Download Collaboration
Uploading a file from a web browser
I would like to have the ability to automatically download a file uploaded from a web browser on a different computer.
This will greatly help in improving the efficiency of indirect collaboration with other software.- upload a file (csv) from a browser (chrome) to Box on computer A. 2.
- PC "B" (Win11) has a software program installed on it, and the csv file is imported by the software.
- The PC in environment B is always connected to the Internet while it is running, so we would like the uploaded file to be automatically downloaded from the browser on the PC in environment A. 4.
- The work will be dramatically streamlined by having the csv file imported by a person into the software of his/her choice.
We would like to have a system that can detect uploads and download automatically.

Display in Sign interface reason why for declined signature requests
When a document is declined, the reason why it was declined is only available in one e-mail.
It should be available on the document as well as in the web interface. I could put a comment on the document (why I wanted to reject it), and in the Reject field, but only the reason in the reject field was kept and only available in the e-mail that was received. After that, in Box SIgn, you see that the document was declined, but you d'ont know why. That is a huge limitation.8 votes -
Improve Print to PDF conversion to avoid extra pages
When sending single page .tif files to print as .pdfs, Box web app conversion scaling creates extra pages due to imperfect margins. Manually adjusting the scaling down to 70% brings the image size down to fit on a single page.
We would like to see either improved automated scaling or a way to set a default scale in the Admin Console to avoid overburdening end users having to set the scale by hand every time they need to print.

Box Device Trust Domain Requirement Azure AD tenant ID
Really simple suggestion for documentation and the Device Trust config page. In December 2023, for companies with no local domain but using Azure AD , I needed to fill in the "Tenant ID" into the Device Trust policy domain requirement field in order to successfully connect. I grabbed mine from my Microsoft Entra overview page, but there are other ways to get it like running "dsregcmd /status" on a joined laptop.

When outputting a report from the Admin Console, the user interface for searching folders cannot uniquely identify folders with the same fol
When narrowing down the user activity report to activities under a specific folder, a search is performed by folder name, but if there are many identical folder names, it is not possible to uniquely specify the folder.
I would like to be able to display the folder path from the root or specify by folder ID.(Japanese)
管理コンソールでレポートを出力する際にフォルダを検索するユーザーインターフェースで同一フォルダ名が存在すると一意に特定が出来ないユーザーアクティビティレポートで特定のフォルダ配下のアクティビティに絞るときにフォルダ名で検索を実施するが同一フォルダ名が多くあると、どれが出力したいフォルダなのかが判別が出来ないのでルートからのフォルダパスを表示したりフォルダIDでの指定が出来るようにして欲しい。

Rollback all files uploaded even if one fails to upload
Under the current design, when uploading multiple files, the successful files are stored in Box, even if one of the uploads fails. As a result, subsequent processing, e.g. adding metadata, may also not take place. This is inconvenient for the user under the usecase of using File Request+Metadata. The user has to look for files that were not uploaded and has to check the metadata for files that were uploaded. And if the uploader is anonymous, it's impossible. This Pulse requests that if one or more uploads fail, the uploads of other files performed in that File Request are also rolled back.
