Box Sign HIPAA compliance
I would like to use Box Sign for patients of a medical practice to complete and sign certain medical intake forms. In theory, Box Sign would be HIPAA compliant if not for one significant flaw that should be simple to fix.
Here's the issue...
When the document is completed and signed, the signer (medical patient in this case) gets an unencrypted email with a link to the signed document. Anyone with the link can view and download the document. If the unencrypted email is intercepted or hacked, the patient's protected healthcare information would be at risk.
To fix this, all…

Ability to save reports to a custom location
With the upcoming report scheduling function, coupled with improved filters to better streamline reports that are generated, it would be really useful to be able to define a custom save location for a report that is generated as part of that process (i.e. to any folder within your box instance and not just the default 'reports' bucket).
Our use case is that we'd like to set up a series of scheduled reports (soon possible!), each one filtered to activities within a specific folder (also now possible!) and then have that report automatically save into the folder to which it relates…

Group of users
When I uploaded a new file, the order of the groups was disjointed.
Example: Everyone: Sales Headquarters
Sales Headquarters: All
I want to align the group display neatly, but the order does not change even if I select managed user → upload updated file.
Support replied that it is not possible. I would like to be able to sort the files even after uploading.1 vote -

administrator notification
Email notification to BOX administrators when an issue is known within BOX. This would help administrators be proactive on BOX issues with users to prevent multiple calls, emails, tickets, etc. from being generated creating much unneeded noise.

Account based folder notification settings
We would like to allow each collaborator to configure their own folder notification settings for each folder. Currently, all collaborators must use the same email notification settings designated by an owner or co-owner.
Some collaborators may be waiting on file uploads or downloads and want an email notification, but other collaborators may not want the noise in their inbox. The "override defaults" option in folder settings should only apply to the currently logged in user account.

Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version
Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version. That is, only allowing these office files to be opened only through Word Online, Excel Online, etc. As of right now, these files are able to be opened through Google Docs and Google sheets, which alters the formatting of their original files.

Option to Remove "Upgrade Plan" Button
I'm a business customer with a paid subscription. Please give me an option to remove the "Upgrade Plan" button. It negatively impacts UX and takes up valuable real estate at the top of every page. It also subtly suggests that my current purchase is less valuable/important than a more expensive plan.

Detect empty folders
Is there a way to detect empty folders in Box (so we can delete them if needed, to simplify a folder tree) ?
Maybe a tool on a computer can work (like Remove Empty Directories) but it would be great if it was detected by Box itself.1 vote -
Enhance Metadata Search for Text field for Japanese language ("contains" instead of "exact match")
Currently, texts in Metadata can only be searched by exact match especially for Japanese characters. We would like to see an improvement to make it "contains" search as it is available in the standard search.
92 votesWe are planning improvements to how we handle Japanese language queries but this work is not currently on the roadmap in the next 12 months. We will take this into consideration for the annual roadmap for next year.

Bring back the comments icon
I get so many notifications it's hard to manage notifications. Can you bring back the comment icon on a file that someone has added their notes to? Unless I click on the file to open it up, I can't tell someone has left a comment or change. Thanks!

Ability to read the EXIF data in the photos that are uploaded
I need Box to read the EXIF data in the photos I upload. Having access to that would make categorizing and finding assets infinitely easier. If I could sort by the metadata already included with an image file I would be able to find by date, location, resolution, etc automatically. A default metadata template should be created that matches that of EXIF data so that it automatically loads. You could then find the images you want by searching the EXIF data then could apply other metadata to add more relevance.
40 votesThis is currently under review for inclusion in our roadmap for 2026. We will update the status of this request toward the end of 2025 when our review is finalized.
