Visual Indicator on Folders with External Collaborators
Currently, when a folder has external collaborators in it, we show a small globe icon for that collaborator in the Collaborators list (sidebar + full collabs page), but no other visual indicator at the folder level.
Often, users want to quickly know "is this folder shared with anyone external/outside my company?" without having to manually comb through the full list of collaborators.
REQUEST: Add a visual indicator (either folder color, icon, 'tag'/label, etc.) at the folder level (visible from within the folder and possibly from the files list as a badge) to indicate when a folder has external collaborators in…

Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…13 votes -
Add a report that lists metadata set for folders and files.
There are many metadata templates, and each users can set them.
In this situation, being able to see in lists what metadatas are actually applied to which files/folders and what values are set can be very helpful in managing contents and metadata.102 votesThe ability to optionally include Metadata in Folders and Files report has been delivered and is generally available (GA).

Administrative Controls around shared links
For Shared Links that are open to "People with the link" and no expiration date across our organization, we'd like to have the ability to:
- Disable these links up across all or selected users
- Restrict settings for the majority of our users so that all of these shared links have an expiration of 60 days or less
- Allow only a select group of users the ability to share links with way without expiration dates

I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.
I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.
Alternatives (1) through (3) could not be adopted for a reason.(1) Why not just use the Previewer?
I want to collaborate from the top of the folder tree to prevent confusion about where I collaborated.
For this purpose, I want a collaboration role that can only refer to shared links that cannot refer to other files.(2) Why don't we just create a shared link that is open to everyone and add a password?
If you make it public, you won't know who…12 votes -
Editable shared link to take precendence over collaborator permission
Collaborator permissions currently take precedence over shared link permissions. As a result, users accessing an editable shared links can't edit a file if they have viewer permission on the folder. In our case, we have an open folder accessible to all staff as viewer with all content accessible from our intranet. We would like to be able to create editable shared link for users to contribute to selected files.

Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved
We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.
【Details】
Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned…32 votesUnfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

Remove greyed out options for editable shared links
Remove greyed out options for editable shared links if the edit option has been removed from the enterprise settings. It causes end user confusion and would rather have it not be visible if the admin/IT/Security teams choose to not elect to have this available within enterprise settings.

Allow me to link to other folders and files in box
I can create a bookmark to another folder in box, but the experience and visualisation of these is not useful - links to folders get lost in the file list.
Bookmarks to other folders in box, should be listed as a folder, not a file, perhaps with a different icon to show they are linked folders rather than hierarchic folders.

Add ability to remove shared content from the All Files page
One of the complaints we've heard from our users is the inability to move shared content to a location other than their All Files page. For users with a lot of shared content this creates folder sprawl. With the new Collections feature we had hoped this would be possible as Collections can be accessed via the left pane.

Have the ability to retroactively expire shared links.
If I understand correctly, the only way we can go back and fix this for existing folders is to create an application that does this through the API or send a request to end users to fix folders they own. Is that correct?
It might be helpful to include a functionality in the future that allows an Admin to reset that setting for existing folders in the environment.

Password Protect Folders Designated as "Invited People Only" Collaborators
I would like to add passwords to folders that are tagged as "Invited People Only" to increase the level of security on the content. I would like to create a folder that is shared only with invited people, and also add a password for the folder to ensure content is as secure as possible, e.g., pre-lease earnings reports, HR terminations, pending litigation, etc.

Request to Enable Start Time Configuration for Shared Link Validity
I would like the ability to configure the start date and time for a shared link’s validity period.
For example, a shared link would become active and accessible 60 minutes after it is created.
This feature would help prevent issues caused by misconfigured shared link permissions or sending a shared link to the wrong recipient.2 votes -
Shared links without expiration
It takes 6 clicks (unless I'm missing a faster way) to turn off the expiration for a shared link. Can it be on the first pop-up window when you enable the link!?

Ability to access public links/folders that aren't shared with a specific account via the Box desktop application
Sometimes a client sends a public link for a folder that is +100 GB. Downloading through the browser is obviously much slower than using the desktop application, but if the folder has not been shared directly with my account, I cannot access the folder via the app. Please implement a way of accessing public links via the Desktop application.
