Alias files/ links to files
Oftentimes, a file has more than just one "right place" within a folder structure.
For example, if you have a folder for the HR-department and a folder for the legal-team, both teams need to access the subfolder "employment contracts".
On local Windows Explorer or Apple Finder it is possible to create alias-files that link to the "main-file", so you can access a file from multiple locations.
Such a feature is not available in Box. Since it is cruicial for files that needs to be accessed from different locations/ teams, I am asking you to implement this feature.Thank you!

The notice for email when a folder is locked by LFO.
Folders may be locked in LFO.
The problem is recognized only when the user manipulates the folder or file.
If the problem is not detected as soon as it occurs, it will affect business operations.

Box Sign: Provide more guidance to signers without fields assigned
Box Sign is not intuitive enough on how to sign. One client reports: "OK, finally got it. I wasn’t dragging the box onto the document." I had to tell them they had to click and drag the Signature button over to the signature line of the contract. Can you please make more clear instructions embedded into the sign request?

Bandwith warning
As there are quite dire consequences for overstepping the monthly Bandwith Limit, it would be good to have get some kind of Warning before it happens.
Maybe an E-Mail Notifikation saying something like "you've already used 80% of your Bandwith this month."Or at least have a graph in the Admin Console showing how much bandwith was used that month.

Folder-level access control
Box needs folder-level access control so that you can assign a specific user access level to a specific folder and not have it inherit the "waterfall" (unwanted) access level. This has been an issue for many years.

Delete user capability
Remove the "Get started with Box.pdf" file that is automatically added to each user. This becomes a 1.8 mb content for the user. As users are offboarded, this is content that needs to be transferred to someone before their account can be deleted. The information contained in that PDF can be housed in the help, announcements or notifications.

Ability to provision user zone through IDP
Currently we have a number of different zones that we have for our users. When users come into the company we have to manually update those zones to ensure that data resides in their countries. We would like to provision this with our IDP so that when a user comes onboard, we can send the zone along with the task to create the user and remove the manual task. We currently add to groups and set a number of other things but zone is not one that is available.

Organizing Shared folders. Can't rely on collaborators to do it.
It would be very helpful if I could move shared folders into a "folder" (choose your term for some thing that would mimic a folder) that would allow me to group all shared folders together. Ideally, I would be able to create my own hierarchy within that folder to be able to organize all of the shared folders how I want vs. just having every shared folder cluttering up my Box root level. I know I can use Collections, however, Collections don't show up in Box Drive.

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.

Error notification about Relay Workflow
Currently there is no way to know whether the relay workflow has failed or not.
So when there is an error in a workflow, I would like to have admins and or the workflow owners to receive a notification to inform about the error.93 votesHello all,
Thanks for requesting this feature. The product team reviewed this request and added to our backlog for consideration. We look to revisit this next year and once we start working on this, we will update the status.
Thanks,

Ability to be unlocked only with the permission of the person who set the lock
With the current file locking feature, even if a file is locked, it can be unlocked by another user.
In this case, the file that was originally supposed to be updated cannot be updated and is saved as another file.
The result is a lot of conflict files and a lot of work to merge all the information.[The features we want]
When editing a file, the file is completely locked.
If other users want to edit this file, they will ask the user who locked it to unlock it.
It will only be unlocked if the user who put the lock allows it.It would be even better if we could select "anyone can unlock" and "requires unlock request" from the admin console.
＜ロックを設定した人の許可があった場合にのみロックを解除できる機能＞
現在のファイル ロック機能では、ファイルがロックされていても、別のユーザーがロックを解除できます。
この場合、本来更新されるはずだったファイルは更新できず、別ファイルとして保存されてしまいます。
その結果、多くの競合ファイルが発生し、すべての情報をマージするには多大な作業が必要になります。[私たちが求める機能]
ファイルを編集するとき、ファイルは完全にロックされます。
他のユーザーがこのファイルを編集したい場合は、ファイルをロックしたユーザーにロックを解除するよう依頼します。
ロックを設定したユーザーが許可した場合にのみロックが解除されます。管理コンソールから「誰でもロック解除可能」と「ロック解除リクエストが必要」を選択できるとさらに良いと考えています。

Recommended Content Feature on Preview Page
Proposing the addition of a "Recommended Content" feature on the preview page, similar to the "customers also viewed" suggestions seen on eCommerce sites.
This feature would leverage analytics on how collaborators interact with files, identifying patterns to suggest relevant documents that others have viewed under similar contexts.
The goal is to boost user engagement by highlighting potentially useful but overlooked content, thereby enhancing collaboration and productivity.The development of this feature should prioritize privacy and permissions to ensure recommendations are appropriate and secure. By making it easier for users to discover and access relevant content, we can significantly streamline workflows and improve the overall user experience on Box.

Make external folders more obvious in Box Drive and Box Web
Currently internal and external folders are comingled in Box. Although collections can help organise data in the web app, for those who predominantly use Box Drive this could potentially lead to a DLP issue, particularly where the internal and external folders have nearly identical names. In both Box Drive and Box Web it would be great to be able to choose your own colour coding for these folders e.g. anything external showing red, or the ability to group all of your external folders under one main EXTERNAL folder.

Need multiple options for 2-factor authentication
Please allow multiple options to receive a 2-factor authentication code. If I were to lose access to my cell phone or change the phone #, then I would be unable to receive a code via SMS and be locked out of Box.
In addition, please ensure the options other than 2FA code via SMS actually are viable options. Right now, the authenticator option doesn't work - no QR code is generated by Box for me to scan with my phone. The e-mail option also doesn't work - I keep getting an error message that the default e-mail is invalid ... Box will only send a code to the default e-mail!

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.
