1. Enhanced Granular Access Controls for External Collaborators

   Current Limitation:
   - Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
   - No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizations

   Proposed Feature:
   Implement a multi-tier external collaboration access control system that allows:
   1. Configurable access duration and permissions based on organizational relationship
   2. Ability to create exception groups with extended or permanent access
   3. Granular control to distinguish between:
   - Completely external users (standard 30-day restriction)
   - Trusted partners/affiliated organizations (customizable access duration)
   - Specific trusted domains with distinct access rules

   Use Case Example:
   An organization wants to:
   - Maintain strict 30-day access for unknown external collaborators
   - Provide longer/permanent access for trusted partners like subsidiary companies or closely affiliated academic/research institutions

   Business Value:
   - Increases flexibility in collaboration management
   - Reduces administrative overhead of manually managing access
   - Provides more nuanced security controls

   Current Limitation:
   - Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
   - No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizations

2. Cursor leaves folder name field after creating new folder

   I've found two bugs in the we-based box app. These have both been happening for a while now... several months at least.

   First, when you create a new folder, you can no longer just start typing the name, as the cursor leaves the Folder Name field upon creation of a new folder. Having to click back in the field is a bit of a pain.

   Second, often when I'm uploading something - particularly if it's hundreds of megabytes, or part of a larger upload, after finishing the list of uploads, it will begin uploading the list again. I've uploaded a list of files several times, and come back to find that all of them say V2 because they immediately got uploaded again.

   I've also seen this first hand after completing an upload, where I'll see the upload status start again.

   Thanks!

3. Exact search queries using quotes should not include wildcards

   Currently as per Box's community article, all searches implicitly include trailing wildcards:

   "Trailing wildcards are implicitly included in search results because of the way text is indexed. Searching for Bo results in items with the words Box or Boat or Boxer. It is the equivalent of searching for Bo* or Bo% in traditional search engines. Traditional wildcard notation is not supported by Box, such as %ox% "

   However, this leads to search results that are both 1) too wide and 2) not intuitive based on search norms

   i.e., one would think that searching (with quotes) for " Box " would only get results with Box as a standalone word. However, it currently also brings up content with box as part of the word, e.g. a file named helloboxers.

4. Move "Log in" green banner when viewing shared link while not signed into Box

   If you view a shared link while you're not signed into Box, you'll see a green banner at the top: "Log in to Box to securely share, edit, and collaborate on files in real-time with other people." The banner blocks the "Download" button on the right. While there is an X to close the banner, there are two issues:

   1) Less tech-savvy people don't know to close the banner and can't figure out how to download
   2) Others may think you need a Box account in order to access the content

   It would be helpful to either move the banner or maybe add some clearer messaging around the fact that you can still access the content without signing in.

6. Box Shield Smart Access - Require approval when doing a Business Justification override of a Classification

   I want to allow team members to override a Box Shield Classification/Access Policy with a Business Justification ONLY IF the appropriate person approves the override.

   "Appropriate person" would be 100% configurable and different across different Classification Labels. Options like:
   - Person who created the Classification Label
   - Main Admin or Co-Admin with appropriate permissions
   - An assigned authorized person or group (e.g. legal, compliance, infosec, IT, folder or file owner).

   E.g. scenario #1: "Highly Classified" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, xxx person in InfoSec, or yyy person in IT could approve the override.

   E.g. scenario #2: "Internal Only" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, any person in the InfoSec Group, any person in the IT Group, or the folder/file owner could override.

7. Enable More than 2 Simultaneous Legal Hold Exports / Add Export Queue Management

   Box currently limits legal hold exports to only two concurrent exports per account, which becomes a bottleneck when managing multiple cases, custodians, or data sets. There is no queueing mechanism or ability to start additional exports while the limit is reached—exports must be retried manually after completion. This slows down compliance workflows and creates operational friction for high-volume teams.

8. Box CLI - need more output options for folders:items.

   Specific to "box folders:items" but probably other commands as well:

   1) If I'm asking for --csv, AND specifying the fields via --fields=, I don't need a header telling me the fields I just requested. I'd like an option to disable the header, or default disable it and make me add it back.

   2) If I'm asking for specific fields as --csv, give me just those fields. If I'm asking for --fields=id I don't want it served back to me as "folder,#", I don't want to know it's a folder. If I later do something against that ID that is not compatible with it being a folder, let me handle that.

   3) Same as above, but for --json, just give me id:#, not type:folder and id:#

   not planned  ·  AdminMike Grytsai (Sr. Product Manager, SDKs, Box) responded

   Hello,

   We are not planning on changing --csv or --json behaviour in CLI.

   Fields ID and Type are returned by API by default and  removing them from the CLI would mean to modify the existing CLI behaviour.

9. Support for Multiple Upload Zones in Box Forms + Relay

   Summary:
   Enable the creation of multiple, distinct file upload zones within a single application or embed experience—for example, within a Box Doc Gen-powered form or workflow.

   Details:
   Today, applications built with Box’s Form capabilities typically support a single upload zone or file request area. This limits the ability to organize incoming files contextually during intake or data collection workflows.

   We’re requesting support for multiple upload zones in the same app or form—each mapped to a different folder, metadata tag, or Doc Gen trigger.

   Example Use Case – Box Doc Gen for Application Processing:
   Imagine a form that uses Box Doc Gen to generate a PDF application. The process includes:

   Zone 1: “Upload Supplemental Documents”

   Applicant uploads income verification, letters of recommendation, etc.

   Files are tagged or routed to a designated folder with metadata "doc_type = supplemental"

   Zone 2: “Upload Copies of Records”

   Applicant uploads prior case files or records

   Files are routed with metadata "doc_type = records" or to a different subfolder

   This could then change the views in Box Apps and other locations to trigger workflows.

10. In Box Relay, when an approval task is rejected, I want to be able to select any step.

    I would like to create a workflow like the following:

    Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 1) -> Approval Task 1 -> Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 2) -> Approval Task 2 -> Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 3) -> Approval Task 3

    If Approval Task 3 is rejected, the file would remain in "Awaiting approval 3".
    However, I actually want to move it to "Awaiting approval 2".
    It is necessary to return to the "Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 2) "step, NOT the "Task" step.

    ■In Japanese

    以下のようなワークフローを作りたいです。

    ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中１）→承認１→ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中２）→承認２→ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中３）→承認３

    承認３で却下された場合、ファイルが「承認中３」に残ったままになってしまいますが、本来は「承認中２」に移動させたいです。
    そのため、"タスク"のステップではなく、"ファイル移動（承認中２）"のステップに戻せるようにすることが必要です。

11. Request to improve the behavior of files with "Download and Print Restrictions" set on Box Drive

    In Shield > Access Policy, we are creating a classification label for the policy that has "Restrict downloading and printing" set as the security control.
    Depending on when you set this label classification, Box Drive may not have the limitations you expect.
    I would like to see an improvement so that files with "Download and Print Restrictions" set cannot be opened or copied in Box Drive from the moment the settings are set.

    The specific steps and events are as follows.
    1. Open the file before setting the classification label in Box Drive.
    2. Edit, save and close the file.
    3. Set a classification label for the file.
    4. Open the file in Box Drive.
    5. Although I have applied "download and print restrictions," I can open and save files on Box Drive. You can also copy to a local drive.

    Shield > アクセスポリシー で、セキュリティコントロールに「ダウンロードと印刷の制限」を設定したポリシーの分類ラベルを作成しています。
    この分類ラベルを設定するタイミングによって、Box Driveで期待する制限がかからない場合があります。
    「ダウンロードと印刷の制限」が設定されたファイルは、設定された時点からBox Driveでファイルを開いたりコピーしたりできないように改善をしてもらいたいです。

    具体的な手順と事象は以下のとおりです。
    １．分類ラベル設定前のファイルをBox Driveで開く。
    ２．編集、保存してファイルを閉じる。
    ３．当該ファイルに対して分類ラベルを設定する。
    ４．当該ファイルをBox Driveで開く。
    ５．「ダウンロードと印刷の制限」を適用しているが、Box Driveでファイルが開けて、保存もできる。ローカルドライブへのコピーもできる。

12. Box CLI Email Notifications and Folder Settings

    We would like to enable upload notifications for select folders, on particular users or groups.

    Currently users need to go into each folder's settings to then check the box for upload notifications, or they can select upload notifications in their user settings.

    The first option is very time consuming, we have about 140 folders that we would like to target and it is hard to force employee's to complete this.
    The 2nd option removes the importance of notifications if users are being notified for everything.

    It would be great to have a bulk option to enable notifications or manage other folder settings for users.
    Would it be possible to use the Box CLI to target Folder IDs, User/Group IDs, then have the various folder options to flag or unflag. This would be a huge time saver.

13. New Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files): Improve Explorer UX during startup/connecting to avoid unstable/incorrect folder state

    Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)
    When Windows starts, the new Box Drive (Cloud Files architecture) auto-connects. During this “connecting/initializing” period, the Box Drive folder becomes visible in File Explorer even though Box Drive is not fully running/ready. The folder view is unstable: some items show missing icons/status, and opening folders can result in errors. This happens consistently across multiple users in our pilot.
    This behavior may be aligned with the feature “Box Drive folders remain accessible even when the Box Drive application is not running,” but exposing a partially-initialized state causes confusion and support tickets (users think Drive is broken or content is missing).

    Proposed improvement
    Please improve the File Explorer experience while Box Drive is starting/connecting/initializing so users do not see an unstable or misleading folder state. For example:
    Show a clear “Box Drive is connecting/initializing” placeholder and block navigation until ready; and/or
    Provide an admin/user option to delay/hide the Box Drive mount until Drive is connected; and/or
    Ensure cached vs. not-yet-available content is clearly indicated without throwing generic Windows errors.

    Steps to reproduce
    1.Install new Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files architecture), version 2.48 (pilot).
    2.Ensure Box Drive is configured to auto-start on Windows login.
    3.Reboot the PC and open File Explorer immediately after login.
    4.Observe Box folder becomes visible before Drive is fully ready; icons may be missing/blank; opening folders may show errors.

    Impact
    ・End-user confusion (“Drive is broken”, “files disappeared”)
    ・Increased helpdesk tickets and delays in rollout/adoption of the new Box Drive

    The following is written in Japanese

    Windows 向け新しい Box Drive（Cloud Files）：起動／接続時にエクスプローラーの UX を改善し、不安定または誤ったフォルダー状態を回避する

    問題（Box はどのような課題を解決できるか？）
    Windows の起動時に、新しい Box Drive（Cloud Files アーキテクチャ）が自動接続します。この「接続／初期化」中、Box Drive がまだ完全に起動・準備完了していないにもかかわらず、File Explorer に Box Drive フォルダーが表示されます。フォルダー表示が不安定で、一部の項目でアイコン／ステータスが表示されないことがあり、フォルダーを開くとエラーになる場合があります。この現象はパイロットに参加している複数ユーザーで一貫して発生しています。この挙動は「Box Drive アプリケーションが起動していない場合でも Box Drive フォルダーにアクセス可能」という機能仕様に沿っている可能性がありますが、部分的に初期化された状態が見えてしまうことで混乱を招き、サポートチケットの増加につながっています（ユーザーが「Drive が壊れている」「コンテンツが消えた」と誤解する）。

    改善案
    Box Drive の起動／接続／初期化中に、File Explorer 上で不安定または誤解を招く状態が見えないよう、エクスペリエンスを改善してください。例：
    ・「Box Drive は接続／初期化中です」という明確なプレースホルダーを表示し、準備完了までナビゲーションをブロックする
    ・Drive が接続されるまで Box Drive のマウントを遅延／非表示にする管理者／ユーザー向けオプションを提供する
    ・キャッシュ済みコンテンツと、まだ利用できないコンテンツを明確に区別して表示し、一般的な Windows エラーを出さないようにする

    再現手順
    1.新しい Box Drive for Windows（Cloud Files アーキテクチャ）v2.48（パイロット）をインストールする
    2.Windows ログイン時に Box Drive が自動起動するよう設定する
    3.PC を再起動し、ログイン直後に File Explorer を開く
    4.Drive が完全に準備完了する前に Box フォルダーが表示されることを確認する（アイコンが欠落／空白になる場合がある）。接続中の状態でフォルダーを開くとエラーが出る場合がある

    影響
    ・エンドユーザーの混乱（「Drive が壊れている」「ファイルが消えた」）
    ・ヘルプデスク問い合わせの増加、および新しい Box Drive の展開／定着の遅延

14. Problem with workbook link in Excel

    we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
    Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:

    C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    To

    api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
    Starting Configuration:
    BOX drive installed: YES
    Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
    In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......
    ※image①.png
    ※image②.png
    After enabling BOX for Microsoft Office:
    ※image③.png
    If I open the test.xlsx all links to related workbooks change, making it impossible to update the data correctly.
    ※image④.png
    To solve this situation, I must manually change all the data sources:
    ※image⑤.png
    ※image⑥.png
    In this example, the new link is: https://api.box.com/wopi/files/1642985320322/WOPIServiceIdTPBOX2/WOPIUserId-/linkedworkbook.xlsx
    Removing BOX for Microsoft Office
    If I remove it and I haven't already changed the path of the linked workbooks, excel goes back to working correctly.
    Of course, if I have modified any path to the new (api.box.com), I will have the same problem.
    Conclusion
    This operation (manually change data sources) should be done for all files that contain external data (csv, linked workbook, etc).
    As you can imagine, it is not applicable on a large scale.
    Do you have any alternative solutions?
    Thank you and best regards
    Sergio

    we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
    Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:

    C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    To

    api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
    Starting Configuration:
    BOX drive installed: YES
    Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
    In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......… more

16. Use of scheduled execution with dynamic values such as file creation date

    I want to be able to use file/folder creation dates, etc. as values for periodic schedule execution, such as copy/delete files after 2 weeks.

    【日本語】
    2週間たったらファイルをコピー/削除するなど、ファイル/フォルダの作成日などを定期スケジュール実行の値に使えるようにしたい

    Possibility to make the "import your own folder into a channel" become the default option instead of "creating a dedicated file tree" for Box for Teams v2

18. Specify a dynamic port for "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI”

    Following the "LoopbackInterfaceRedirection" specification described in "RFC 8252 OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps", I would like to configure Box to receive the authentication code on an unused free port on Windows and send it to the Box custom app configuration screen (https://app .box.).
    However, it is not possible to specify a dynamic port for the "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI" in the Box custom app configuration screen (developers/console/app/xxxx/configuration).
    I would like you to specify the dynamic port as per the specification of "LoopbackInterfaceRedirection" described in "RFC 8252 OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps".

19. Creating multiple triggers in Relay

    We created a workflow to create subfolders automatically. The ability to create subsequent triggers in those subfolders would be helpful. (i.e. folder A is manually created, folder a1, a2, a3, are automatically created. When a file is uploaded in folder a2, do outcomes 1-3)

20. Reconcile behavior between Edit and Drive after a conflict

    There is different behavior between Box Drive and Box Edit when uploading after conflicted happened. We would like to change behavior as same as Box Edit. This difference might lead to be confusion for the customer.

    Actual Behavior at this moment:

    Box Drive
    1. User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    2. User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    3. User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
    4. User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened. Create a conflict copy like file X (email address).
    5. User A saves file X again while keeping it open. Upload the changes as version 3 to file X

    Box Edit
    1. User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Edit.
    2. User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Edit.
    3. User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
    4. User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened. Create a conflict copy like file X (number).
    5. User A saves file X again while keeping it open. Upload the changes as version 2 to the conflict copy
