Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Subject: Add file and folder move operations to the Box integration for ChatGPT/OpenAI
Hello Box Support,
I am using the official Box integration within ChatGPT. The integration can currently list my files, create folders, upload files, rename items, and inspect permissions. However, it does not provide an action for moving an existing file or folder to another Box folder.
For example, I asked ChatGPT to:
- Create a folder named
! - Move the files and folders in my Box root directory into that folder
ChatGPT successfully created the folder, but it could not move the existing items because the Box integration did not expose a file or folder move operation.
I confirmed that this is not an account-permission issue. I own the files, and my Box permissions allow deleting, downloading, renaming, uploading, and sharing them.
Could you please clarify:
- Is the absence of file and folder move operations an intentional security restriction?
- Is this limitation controlled by Box, OpenAI, or the configuration of the Box connector/MCP integration?
- Could Box add supported actions for:
- Moving a file to another folder
- Moving a folder to another folder
- Moving multiple selected items in one operation
- Could the integration use Box’s normal item-update API while respecting the user’s existing Box permissions and requesting confirmation before moving multiple items?
This capability is important because without move operations, ChatGPT can inspect and create Box content but cannot perform basic file organization workflows.
Please forward this as a feature request to the team responsible for the Box integration with OpenAI/ChatGPT.
Thank you.

Default agent for hub
I want to be able to create a custom agent and set it as the default agent for a hub. The idea is that if I want a hub to return a consistent result every time someone searches it, I can build an agent that provides that experience and have that agent automatically selected as the hub’s default. I do not want users to have to choose which agent to use.

Real-time visibility of whether a user has external collaborations ユーザーが外部コラボレーションを行っているかをリアルタイムで確認する機能
・Problem Statement / 課題
In the legacy Content Manager, an admin could see — in real time — that a managed user had a folder collaborated with an external party, along with the owner name. This was used as a pre-check before deleting/offboarding the user. The new Content Manager no longer surfaces external folders, so this real-time check is no longer possible through the UI.
レガシーContent Managerでは、管理者は対象ユーザーが外部とコラボレーションしているフォルダの存在と所有者名を、リアルタイムで確認できました。これはユーザーの削除/オフボーディング前の事前チェックとして使われていました。新Content Managerでは外部フォルダが表示されなくなったため、このリアルタイム確認がUI上で行えなくなっています。
Note: This request is not specifically about Content Manager. The legacy CM simply happened to be where this was possible. We are requesting the capability (real-time admin-side visibility of a user's external collaboration status), regardless of where in the product it is surfaced (Admin Console, a dedicated view, etc.).
補足：本要望はContent Managerに限定したものではありません。 レガシーCMがたまたまそれを実現できる場所だっただけです。要望しているのは「管理者側でユーザーの外部コラボレーション状況をリアルタイムに把握できる機能そのもの」であり、提供場所（Admin Console、専用ビュー等）は問いません。・Requirements (phased) / 要件（段階別）
The top priority is real-time confirmation of a user's external-collaboration status. Reporting (with up to 24h delay) does not satisfy this.
最優先事項は、ユーザーの外部コラボレーション状況をリアルタイムで確認できることです。レポート（最大24時間の遅延あり）ではこれを満たしません。Phase 1 (minimum acceptable): For a given managed user, show in real time whether they have any external-folder collaboration (yes/no, existence only).
Phase 2 (desired enhancement): Additionally show which external tenant(s) the user is collaborating with.
第一段階（最低限）： 対象ユーザーについて、外部フォルダコラボレーションの有無をリアルタイムに表示する（yes/no、存在のみ）。
第二段階（追加で望ましい）： 加えて、そのユーザーがどの外部テナントとコラボレーションしているかを表示する。・Current Workaround and Its Limitations / 現行のワークアラウンドとその限界
Affected customers are currently using the API (List items in folder against folderid: 0 / root) as a temporary workaround, expected to last only a few months. This is not a sustainable solution.
該当顧客は現在、API（List items in folder を folderid: 0／ルートに対して実行）を一時的なワークアラウンドとして使用していますが、これは数か月程度の暫定策と想定されています。持続可能な解決策ではありません。
Other admin-side options are insufficient for this use case:Reports: Content reports reflect data only up to ~24 hours before report run time (per Box Support, "Running Reports"). Content added in the last 24h can be missing → fails the real-time requirement.
Instant Login (Admin Console): Does not work for external folders, so it cannot be used to verify external collaboration.その他の管理者側の選択肢は、本ユースケースには不十分です：
レポート： コンテンツレポートはレポート実行時点の約24時間前までのデータしか反映しません（Box Support「Running Reports」より）。直近24時間に追加されたコンテンツが欠落しうるため、リアルタイム要件を満たしません。
Instant Login（Admin Console）： 外部フォルダには機能しないため、外部コラボレーションの確認には使えません。・Business Impact / ビジネスインパクト
In Japan, external-collaboration visibility directly affects user-offboarding and license-seat management for customers with record-retention obligations. Without a real-time check, IT cannot confidently delete users (compliance risk per customer), which ties up limited license seats and creates operational friction. This pattern is likely to recur across regulated/large enterprises in the Japanese market, so the capability has value beyond a single account.
日本では、外部コラボレーションの可視性が、記録保存義務を持つ顧客のユーザーオフボーディングおよびライセンスシート管理に直接影響します。リアルタイムの確認手段がないと、IT部門は確信を持ってユーザーを削除できず（顧客視点ではコンプライアンスリスク）、限られたライセンスシートが拘束され、運用上のフリクションが生じます。このパターンは日本市場の規制業界/大企業で繰り返し発生する可能性が高く、単一アカウントを超えた価値を持つ機能です。・Problem Statement / 課題

Delete User App Authorization
It would be nice to delete User App Authorization from the Admin Console. While Server App Authorization can be deleted by contacting support, User App Auth cannot.
Disabling auth is a good temporary workaround, but when there are many user app auths it can get cluttered and difficult to manage.

Report on file insights for all files
Currently you can only view file insights on an individual file, from the file details. I need the ability to view file insights for all files, in a single report.
Add a reporting feature in the admin console for file insights, where fields can be selected to be included in the report or not: People, Previews, Views, Downloads, Comments, Edits, Last Viewed Date, etc. And a File insights report is generated for ALL files in Box.
Having insights on individual files only makes it unfeasible to measure file utilization across the repo, at scale. How can we measure which files have high views and which are not being viewed at all, across the file corpus, without a report. Manually navigating to file insights for each individual file, exporting, then merging all reports, for hundreds or thousands of files, is not feasible.

Restrict Hub Shared Link Creation to Admins Only
Many users can access a Hub via its shared link.
However, because there is currently no way to identify or control users who access via shared links, we would like to only invite required users directly to the Hub and eliminate the risk of anyone else viewing it.
Under the current behavior, even with the strictest settings, Hub co-owners can still create shared links.
It would be very helpful to have a stronger restriction so that even Hub co-owners cannot create shared links for Hubs, and only admins (or a similarly restricted role) can do so.

Bring back "Open Containing Folder" to the top of the Box Note menu (or allow customization)
Hi Box Team,
I would like to share some feedback regarding the user interface of Box Notes.
Previously, the option to open the folder containing the current Box Note was located right at the top of the hamburger menu. This was incredibly convenient. However, with recent updates, this option has been pushed further and further down the list.
To be honest, actions like viewing comments or inserting images are rarely used in my daily workflow compared to navigating back to the source folder. Having to scroll down every single time just to open the folder has made the user experience quite frustrating.
I would highly appreciate it if you could consider one of the following improvements:
Restore the original layout: Move the "Open Containing Folder" option back to the top of the menu.
Add customization: Allow users to reorder or customize the menu items based on their workflow.
Add a shortcut: Implement a dedicated shortcut button (or hotkey) on the main interface to open the parent folder directly.
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Box!

Batch Send Bulk Actions in Box Sign
After sending documents to multiple recipients using Batch Send, we’ve noticed that we are unable to perform actions such as editing, canceling, or sending reminders for the entire batch at once. Instead, these actions must be carried out individually for each recipient, which is quite time-consuming and inefficient.
Could you please add below features in batch send?
- Edit or cancel the entire batch in one go
- Send reminders to all recipients included in the batch simultaneously?

Delete or hide Source Systems without having to delete all associated jobs
The process to delete a Shuttle Windows source is to first manually locate and delete all completed Shuttle jobs that ran under that source, then delete the source server via the trash can button when selecting a source system via the new job wizard. Box Support have confirmed this experience.
Box Shuttle admins should be able to delete, or at least hide a source system, as part of clean-up activities, without having to manually export (if needed) and delete all previously configured jobs which is a frustrating user experience that introduces a lot of extra, hard-to-justify work on the admin side.

Improve Box Shuttle Filter to search by Source System
I'd like to be able to filter the Shuttle job list on the name of a source system.
This requirement is derived as a result of a product limitation where source systems cannot be deleted unless all completed jobs are deleted. Without this filter option, finding and deleting all jobs associated with a single source system is extremely laborious.

Enhance Sorting by “Hub Name” in Hub View
In the current Hub list view, users can only sort by “Last updated” or “Views.”
Some organizations define naming rules for Hubs, and in those cases, being able to sort by “Hub name” would make the Hub view much easier for users to navigate and understand.

Workflow Management Report
The new Automate features are much more powerful than the previous Relay, and I’m excited to start using them going forward. After enabling Automate, I expect many users will create workflows, so the number of workflows in a tenant will increase significantly.
Currently, I can visually check the workflows created in a tenant from the admin console, but as the number of workflows grows, it becomes difficult to review them all and properly manage them.
It would be very helpful to have a way to export or list all workflows that exist in a tenant.
Example fields:
Workflow name
Creator
Creation date
Last updated date
Last run date
Total number of runs in the past
…etc.
Automate機能を有効化後、ユーザーが自身でたくさんワークフローを作成すると想定されます。そのため、テナントの中でワークフロー数が増加する見込みです。
しかし、現在は管理コンソール上のUIで目視確認するしかなく、ワークフロー数が増加すると管理が困難になっています。

Request for improvement of the event where the cell date is different when previewing an Excel file
In Excel, if you enter a date in a cell with a custom format, a different date will be displayed when viewed with previewer permissions.
For example, if you enter "2026/1/1", if you check it with the previewer permission, it will be displayed as "2026/10/12".
This event is described below.Introducing Box Preview – Box Support
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195013-Introducing-Box-Preview“Date values with the custom format "yyyy/m/d (aaa)" may show incorrect dates. This is due to a bug in the library that Box Content Preview has a dependency on. The workaround is to use a different format such as "yyyy/m/d (ddd)" or "yyyy/m/d".”
Editor and viewer permissions are displayed as they were entered, but previewer permissions are not the date entered.
It seems to be caused by a bug in the library that Box Content Preview depends on, but there is no way to check the correct date because the previewer permission does not allow downloading the file.
Therefore, we strongly request improvements.【In Japanese】

Automatic Approval Removal When Deleting Apps
Since the maximum number of app approvals is limited to 100, periodic deletion of apps is required. However, at present we must request Box to perform these deletions.
We’d like both JWT and OAuth authentication to automatically revoke authorization when an app is deleted in the developer console.
If the service account owns any content, we would like a dialog similar to the one shown when deleting a user, allowing us to choose whether to move or delete the content.

Saved as Default: Search by Name
If you change your organization display to ‘By Name,’ it should remain consistent across all folders and be saved as the default. You can always switch back to ‘Last Updated’ if needed. Ideally, I’d like mine to stay set to ‘By Name,’ or have a navigation setting where you can choose your preferred organization as default.
