Don't make Box AI the default
Please make it possible for users to specify their own preferred default pane in the Preview sidebar, and allow users to remove Box AI from the options. I don't want to use Box AI at all, for anything. I want to be able to choose Activity as the default pane.

Make the "Mobile Web Access Control" setting in the management console applicable to the current domain (box.com) as well
As a result of Box consolidating its mobile sites from “a.box.com” and “m.box.com” into “box.com,” the “Mobile Web and Accessibility” settings in the Admin Console are not being applied to the current domain. Consequently, even if administrators enable these controls, they do not affect mobile access under box.com.
At our company, we use Intune policies to prevent Box files from being saved locally on corporate iPhones. Safari is not subject to Intune policies. Because the “Mobile Web Access Control” settings currently cannot enforce restrictions, users can access Box via Safari on corporate iPhones and save Box files locally, creating a risk of corporate information being taken off the device and potential data leakage. In addition, this breaks alignment with existing controls provided by Box—such as EMM management, Device Trust, and Conditional Access—impacting the overall consistency of Box’s security design.
We use Box as a secure, enterprise-grade storage solution. Inconsistencies in security settings affect Box’s trustworthiness within our organization, so we request a prompt remedy.【日本語】
管理コンソールの「モバイルWebアクセス制御」設定を現行ドメイン（box.com）にも適用可能にするBox社がモバイルサイトを「a.box.com」「m.box.com」から「box.com」に統合した結果、管理コンソール上の「モバイルWebアクセス制御」設定が現行ドメインに反映されていません。
このため、管理者が制御設定を有効化しても、box.com配下のモバイルアクセスには効果が及ばない状態です。弊社では、Intuneポリシーにより、Boxファイルが社用iPhoneのローカルに保存されないよう制御しています。
SafariはIntuneポリシーの適用外です。現状「モバイルWebアクセス制御」設定による制御ができないため、
社用iPhone内SafariからBoxにアクセスし、Boxファイルをローカルに保存できてしまい、社内情報が持ち出され、情報漏洩の発生しかねない状況です。
また、Boxが提供しているEMM管理・デバイストラスト・条件付きアクセス等の既存制御との整合性が崩れ、Box全体のセキュリティ設計の一貫性にも影響が出ます。

Request for Improvement of the slider for grid view image size
Currently, we can adjust the image size in grid view by moving the slider left and right. However, even when selecting the minimum size, the images still remain large.
We can make images smaller by changing the browser's zoom level, but this also makes text smaller, and subsequent screens remain small as well, which is inconvenient.
Rather than relying on browser zoom, we need to enhance Box's slider functionality.In Japanese：
グリッドビュー画像サイズのスライダーの改善要望現在、スライダーを左右に動かすことでグリッドビューの画像サイズを調整できます。しかし、最小サイズを選択しても画像は大きいままです。
ブラウザの拡大率を変更することで画像を小さくできますが、これにより文字も小さくなり、その後の画面も小さいままになるため不便です。
ブラウザの拡大率に頼るのではなく、Boxのスライダー機能を強化する必要があります。3 votes -
Requesting addition of embedded images
I would like to embed photos in the body text of a paragraph on Box Hubs. I know you can link to an image on box.com in Box Hubs, but when I am making a how-to document I need to put multiple small images inside of a body of text. Linking to an image uploaded to box makes huge 1x1 preview squares.

Make Box Extract available for more file types
Currently, the Box Extract tool only works for PDF files as per Box's documentation: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48156443597331-Using-Box-Extract
Please make this tool available for more file types, including image files and Microsoft files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Allow Device Trust full disk encryption to specify software encryption (ie. FileVault)
Presently, when creating a Device Trust Policy that requires full disk encryption for Mac, there is no option to require FileVault as an additional requirement for full disk encryption. As a result, existing hardware encryption using Apple Silicon or a T2 chip satisfies the encryption requirement. It would be helpful to add this functionality so we can enforce FileVault as part of our device trust requirements.

API Endpoint to Customize Collaboration Invitation Email
Currently, when sending collaboration invites via the API you are unable to customize the message. For collaborators that do not have a Box account, it leads to the invitation message showing:
"" - FirstName Last Name
This is unprofessional and often confusing to the individuals receiving the invitation.

Enhanced Folder Naming for Signature Links
Current Issue
When documents are issued via Box Sign signature links, the folders created during storage are named with dates only. We would like the ability to include document-identifying codes or keywords in folder names.Current behavior:
File names are preserved, but folders are subsequently named with dates only
When signature links are sent to multiple recipients, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which document belongs to which person
Lack of clear organization makes document management challenging
Proposed Enhancement
Folder naming should include:Signature recipient's name
Document-identifying keywords or codes
Customizable naming conventions
Business Impact
This enhancement would significantly improve document organization and retrieval efficiency, especially when managing multiple signature requests simultaneously. It would reduce time spent searching for specific signed documents and improve overall workflow management.Use Case
When sending signature requests to multiple people for the same or different documents, administrators need to quickly identify and locate specific signed documents without having to open each folder to determine its contents.Current Issue

Add native file support for .sas file type
please add support for .sas file types. SAS files cannot be previewed, cannot be content searched, and they do not show in the Search results at all due to being an unsupported file type. We have thousands of .sas files stored in Box; being able to locate them via the Box Search tool would remove a pain point for many of our staff.

Integrate Box AI into the Hub Search Box
We’d like Box AI to be available directly from the main search box in Box Hubs. Today, users must click a separate AI button to open the AI panel, and less experienced users often overlook that button. Enabling AI from the central Hub search field would make Box AI more discoverable and easier to use as part of everyday searching.
（日本語）
Hubページのメイン検索窓（中央の検索ボックス）から直接Box AIを使えるようにしてほしいです。現状は上部のAIボタンを押してAIパネルを開く必要があり、慣れていないユーザーほどAIボタンに気づきにくいです。検索窓からそのままAI検索できれば、発見性が高まり日常の検索の中で自然に利用が広がると考えます。1 vote -
Please make it so Box AI can compare the pixel differences between images.
We use Adobe Workfront to help tell any slight pixel differences between two seemingly identical images.
Please make it so Box AI can compare the pixel differences between images so that we can more easily standardize on Box.

Add further columns to Shared Links report
In order to prepare a csv file to bulk update existing shared links, it is necessary to
A) run TWO reports - a BOX USERS Report (CLI command), and a SHARED LINKS ReportIf however, you wish to provide a list of shared links to each Box user who created the link(s), then a THIRD report is needed, a USER ACTIVITY Report (for max years, Items Shared action). This report needs to be filtered to show only the latest date/user that created the link (NB a shared link may be created more than once)
B) then the BOX USERS Report output and SHARED LINKS Report output (and USER ACTIVITY Report output) are merged to identify the Item owner login ID, the creator email address, creator ID (the ID of the user who last created the link)
Currently the SHARED LINKS Report has the following columns:
Item owner login
Item ID
Item name
Path
Shared item type
Shared link status
Shared Link Derived Status
Shared link URL
Custom URL
Password set
Created date
Expiry
PermissionsTo AVOID the necessity of running the USER ACTIVITY Report and BOX USERS Report, and AVOID the time-consuming task of vlookups and editing to merge the three reports, it is requested that the Shared Links Report has the following THREE additional columns:
-Item owner login ID (the ID of the box account in which the link resides)
-Creator email address (the email address of the LAST user to create the shared link)
-Creator ID (the ID of the user who created the shared link most recentlyBy doing so, not only can CLI Command line be used to edit/remove shared links (requires itemid, itemtype and as-user (item owner login ID), but also mailmerge to users who created the shared links can be created, together with personalised spreadsheets for each user

Do not display add-ins that are hidden in the Microsoft tenant settings
Although we have set the Add-ins button to be hidden in the Microsoft 365 admin center, this setting is not reflected when opening Office Online via Box, and users are still able to add add-ins.
If users add add-ins that administrators are not aware of, there is a possibility that we may not be able to respond to any issues or security problems that may arise as a result.
We request either that the settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center be applied to Box, or that Box provide an option to hide the Add-ins button in Office Online.In Japanese：

AI Model Name Display
When using Box AI for Documents or Box AI for Notes, please display the name of the currently active AI model on the screen so users can see which model they are using.
As AI models evolve, the same question may yield different answers than before. Therefore, it is important for users to always know which AI model they are currently using.3 votes -
Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support
I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests, this workflow is not sustainable, the requirement could be removed, simply by putting stricter security rules and guardrails in place and letting the user be responsible for their settings with legal binding agreements, etc. AWS demonstrates this wonderfully.
Please contact me, regarding this matter asap.

Export / Import annotations via API
Box is growing fast and being considered a real challenger to the rest of ECM platforms, but it still lacks important features to be fully considered when migrating from those other platforms. There's no option at all to bring over annotations from existing systems or recreate them via API. For some business units that's a MUST, so it would be perfect to have that option available.

Add a “comment visibility” option in Link Settings
In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.
Currently, when a shared link is set to a non-edit permission such as Can view only (or Can view and download), comments aren’t visible to viewers. Even for non-edit shared links, we want viewers to be able to view timestamped comments on videos, since this feature is extremely useful.
Use case: We publish videos on Box Hubs and share them externally using People with the link (Can view only). If viewers could see comments, we could point them to specific parts of the video more efficiently.（日本語）

ユースケース： Box Hubsに動画を掲載し、社外へ「リンクを知っている全員（表示のみ）」で共有しています。閲覧者がコメントを見られれば、動画の特定箇所をピンポイントで案内でき、効率的です。In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.
