Want to Restore Data Within a Specified Period
Content: The current Box feature does not have the capability to restore data within a specified period.
While you can check the deletion date within the trash, it takes time to verify if a large amount of content has been deleted, making immediate response difficult.
※In the case of "Restore All," all content will be restored, which may cause locking by LFO and impact operations.
For example, we hope for the implementation of a feature that restores content deleted within a specified period in the trash.(日本語)
件名：指定した期間内のデータ復元を行いたい
内容：現在のBox機能では指定した期間内のデータを復元できるような機能はありません。
ごみ箱内で削除された日付を確認できますが、大量のコンテンツを削除した場合に、確認に時間がかかり、即時対応が難しいです。
※「すべての復元」では全てのコンテンツが復元されるため、LFOによるロックがかかる可能性があり、業務に影響があります。
例えば、ごみ箱内で指定した期間内に削除されたコンテンツを復元するような機能実装を希望します。5 votes -

Enable Box AI to Analyze and Generate Insights from Comments in Activity Feed
Many users rely heavily on Box comments for collaboration and knowledge sharing. It would be extremely valuable if Box AI could process comments—summarize discussions, extract insights, and generate relevant content based on comment threads. Other chat platforms now leverage generative AI to distill conversation history, provide summaries, and surface actionable insights, all of which greatly enhance productivity.
I would love to see Box AI extend its capabilities to include comment threads in the Activity feed, allowing users to gain more value from collaborative discussions directly within Box. Thank you for considering this enhancement!

Right click on a piece of information displayed on an Apps view in order to be able to copy it directly
It would be extremely helpful to be able to right click and copy information directly from a Box Apps grid view.
This will help us to easily paste into an external system and also into the Box search app we have created to look for the actual documents being requested.

Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile
For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability

- be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
- those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access…

The maximum number of Platform apps that can be registered should be increased.
Currently, the maximum number of approved Platform apps is limited to 100.
If we create an app for each affiliated company within the tenant, 100 is not sufficient.
We would like the maximum number of Platform apps that can be registered to be significantly increased.(In Japanese)
現在、アプリの登録上限は100件までですが、テナント配下で組織ごとにアプリを作った場合、足りなくなる可能性があります。
登録できるPlatformアプリの数をもっと増やしてほしい1 vote -
Export Relay Workflows as a JSON file, and use JSON file for updating workflows
Some customers have a large number of Relay Workflows that can be cumbersome to edit or update if changes to internal processes are made that affect a large number of flows. Having the option to download the JSON and edit that file, then reupload the JSON can allow them an easier way to make changes to existing workflows with bulk edits.

Feature that allows sending emails only to specific collaborator
We are inviting multiple users from different departments to specific folders.
In our operations, we wish to notify specific users within the department about a regulation revision. However, the current system only allows sending notifications to all collaborators, making it impossible to target only specific users.
We request the implementation of this feature to enhance convenience.所属先が異なる複数のユーザーを特定のフォルダに招待してます。
業務の中で、一部の事業部内のユーザー向けに規定改定を周知したいと考えていますが、現時点でコラボレータ全員に送信する機能のみとなり、一部のユーザーのみに絞ることができません。
利便性向上のため本機能の実現を希望します。2 votes -
workflow
Hi, I was wondering if we could revert the workflow for sharing folders with other users. There was a recent UI/UX update that changed my Box such that when I share a folder with someone, it doesn't auto-populate my cursor in the "Invite People" field, and after typing the name of the person I'd like to share it with, pressing enter or tab does not select the person. The old Box used to highlight the first person that matched what you typed. Once the person is added, I also have to click "Send" manually instead of being able to press…

File Request ID: Enhance File Request API Visibility, Documentation, and Reporting Capabilities
Summary:
Current limitations around File Requests create gaps for administration, automation, and reporting. There is no reliable way to retrieve a File Request ID from the UI or API, documentation is incomplete, and reporting capabilities are insufficient for enterprise use cases.Problem Details:
Missing File Request ID Access
The File Request ID is not exposed in the UI.
The API does not provide a clear or consistent way to retrieve the File Request ID for existing requests.
This blocks automation, integration workflows, and troubleshooting.
Incomplete API Documentation
The File Request API endpoints lack clear, end-to-end guidance.
Missing examples for common…1 vote -
Add repeatable sections to forms
Would be great to see repeatable sections in the forms.
So for example you have a set of fields related to some entity, and the user can add multiple entries of this entity by hitting to add additional sections with the same fields in it.

Issues with Filename Corruption and Large File Download Failures on Box
I am reaching out regarding two issues I am experiencing when using Box.
1. Filename corruption when downloading files on Windows
Files uploaded to Box from macOS are showing corrupted or unreadable filenames when I download them on a Windows PC. The file contents themselves are fine, but the filenames become garbled, making it difficult to identify or manage them.
This appears to be related to differences in filename encoding between macOS and Windows during the upload/download process.
2. Large files cannot be downloaded
Additionally, I am unable to download large files stored in Box.
When attempting to download files…1 vote -

Searching for Folders and Moving files
Ever since the platform updated, it has become very difficult to move a file to a new folder by searching the folder name. I can search for the exact name of the folder and get a whole bunch of other files that aren't even close matches to the folder name. Before the changes we had no problem finding the correct folder.
I am primarily talking about our 30 INVOICES PAID folder. This folder probably contains several hundred folders for each of the vendors that we use, with additional folders for each year. If I want to move an invoice into…

Shared Links Report Enhancement - Report from a specified folder and below
I would like a filter to be added to the Shared Links Report where you can specify a specific folder and the report will run with that folder as the top level and report on shared links for everything below that. This would run much faster than running the report for our entire tenant.
We have much of our data owned by a "Project Account" so it is not controlled by a specific employee. Because of this, running the report with this user as the owner using the existing filter option is much the same as running a tenant-wide report.…

Revert UX for creating folders
Hi, I was wondering if we could revert the workflow for creating folders. There was a recent UI/UX update last week that changed my Box such that when I create a folder, it doesn't auto-populate my cursor in the "Name" field, and after typing the name of the folder, pressing enter does not create the folder.
It was very smooth when I was able to click "new folder," immediately type the name of my folder, and then press enter to immediately create it. Now, I have to either click the "name" field directly or press tab before I'm able to…
