Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report
It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".
Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it because it…

Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop
Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).
In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.
It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Notifications + Override ability for Folder Owners when a folder is Deleted by a Collaborator
When in Box Drive, collaborators can inadvertently delete a large folder, even if they don't own that folder. Before the folder is able to be deleted, the owner of the folder should receive a notification with a warning (e.g. Jane Doe is about to delete your files) and the owner should have the ability to override the action. In the case where the Owner is no longer at the company, there should be an Admin warning and ability to override the action.

Set default on how to display a link
I'm not sure when this was added, I didn't see it in the release notes. But when pasting a link into a Box Note, there are now options on how the link is to be displayed. It defaults to "Display Link Title". Can you please add a setting to change that default to another option?
"Display as URL" is far more useful when you are pasting links (for example) from Jira or ServiceNow, where "Display Link Title" only says "Jira" every time, forcing you to go into each link and changing it to URL to see every link.

Access Policy to Restrict Access to Specified Groups
With Hubs, users' ability to add content to a Hub increases the chance of accidentally giving access to unintended internal users. For sensitive content, it would be nice to be able to have an access policy applied to specific classification that restricts document access to users in specific groups to prevent internal data leakage.

Create a New Folder Bugs - cursor not in text box, no return to create
Sometime in the last month, there was a UI update with Box that changed how creating a New Folder functions. Now, when creating a new folder, the cursor does not start in the name box, so you have to manually click into the box to start typing. Secondly, you can no longer press enter/return to create the folder; you have to drag your cursor and click the "create" button. This combination has been a frustrating change for seemingly no reason. Renaming a folder still automatically lets you type in names and press return to create, so it's definitely an accidental…

Create folders in bulk by a specific destination folder using Relay at run time.
Hello,
As an example for you: our practice uses box.com for our architectural packages. Currently when we want to create a new project folder with specific names and sub folders we have to duplicate an existing set of folders and rename them all then move them to a new location.
It would be helpful if Box Relay could let users choose a destination folder in Box at run time as part of a “Project folder creation” workflow.
For example, during a form submission (or via a simple pop-up), the user could browse/select where the new project folder—and its standard subfolders—should…

Box for Salesforce app: enable conditional display of another record's folder rather than creating a new folder for a particular record
Enable conditional display of another record's folder rather than creating a new folder for a particular record. Ideally, this would be able to be done in the lightning page when you add the Box component to the page, by allowing the admin to select a record field, or a related record's field (not just a label) where the folder id is stored.
Use case: allowing a parent record's folder to show in all of its children so that all of the documents related to the parent are stored in a single place.

I am a fan of central management of users. One feature is the admin's ability to create password for the accounts.
As long as I have known box, there should be a feature that allows the admin of the company account. to create users and assign their passwords. This is a key factor in central management and control. It is almost a red flag for me, on implenetation.

"Bob has accepted the invitation to..." (x1000)
Getting these automatic emails each time a folder is shared bogs down my notifications. Is there anyway I can turn these specific notifications off? Alternatively, could I please disable the "Automatically accept initiations" setting for the company as admin?

Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format
For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.
However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.
Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.
The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.

Visualizing Template Usage and Deletion within the Tenant
In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.
However, when we want to delete templates that haven’t been used within the organization for a long time, we have to ask the original creator to unpublish or delete them, which is cumbersome.
If unnecessary workflows remain, the interface becomes cluttered and administration becomes difficult.These issues can be resolved by surfacing templates that haven’t been used for an extended period within the tenant and allowing administrators to unpublish or delete them.
We request a feature in the Admin…4 votes -
Box AI Q/A on a folder
Currently, if you want to use Q/A on multiple files, you need to be able to select each file or put the content in a hub. It would be good if we were able to use Box AI with a selected folder(s) as context instead of just files.

Add metadata to files uploaded via a box form.
We are using box forms, doc gen and relay to create construction site walks summaries. We then use Box Extract to add metadata to the summary. Part of the site walk is uploading photos of issues found during the walk. I would like to be able to apply metadata from the summary to any photos uploaded from the same form. It would be things like the Property Name, Date of Site Walk and Who took the photos. Since all of these vary from one site walk to the next, I don't know of a way to, other than manually or…

New Folder Box Keyboard Usage
With the most recent update, when starting a new folder in the new folder dialogue box that pops up, you now can't start typing immediately in the name field without clicking into it. Also, pressing Enter does not trigger the "create" button like it once did. This makes working in Box much slower since you have to click around to do anything instead of just using the keyboard.

Ability to hide date and other metadata for external shares
When sharing to external users, it would be nice to have the ability to remove the date from view, as it can sometimes be privileged information to see that kind of metadata.
