Auto select search text upon opening Box Drive
When I Press Shft+Ctrl+Alt+B to activate the search function, the previous search text is in the search bar. It's highly unlikely I'm going the same search a 2nd time. The text should auto highlight, so I can just start typing for the next search. Currently you have to manually select the text to overwrite.

Search API for Tags
The Box search endpoint should be able to query based on Tags.
The Web App is able to do this already:
https://obfuscated.app.box.com/folder/0/search?tags=SelectThat search returns tagged results as expected.
The postman API collection offers a search endpoint example with:
https://{{api.box.com}}/2.0/search?query=salesAn error occurs when changing that to:
https://{{api.box.com}}/2.0/search?tags=SelectThis should more closely match the web ui.

I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder
I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.
When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Invited users only"Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Company users", "Invited users only"
3."Invited users only"If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you…

Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query
Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query. Today, we can search for "text AND text2", but it will not generate results until the user submits the full query. This would improve usability.

Enable branching from any point in a previous Box AI Home conversation
▼What problem could Box solve for you?
Box AI Home provides session history and allows users to view and resume previous sessions. However, when users revisit a past conversation, they need the ability to branch from a specific point in the conversation and ask a new follow-up question without overwriting or altering the original conversation flow.Today, users may have long-running Box AI conversations involving multiple files, folders, or Hubs as sources. In many business scenarios, a user may want to go back to an earlier answer or question and explore a different direction from that exact point. For example,…

Box Shield: Request to Filter Download Events Not Performed by Users in the EMM App
Our company is doing restriction monitoring for Box Shield.
Specifically, we are able to monitor via the Event API when operations subject to restriction by Box Shield Restrictions: “Download and Print Restrictions” are performed.
Enterprise Event: "SHILEDOWNLOADBLOCKED"However, in the Box for EMM app, we have the following situation because of the following specifications.
*The user's actual operation is not performed, and the “SHILEDOWNLOADBLOCKED” is obtained.
*There is no way to distinguish between operations actually performed by the user and operations not actually performed by the user.Therefore, please improve the functionality so that download events…

Speed displayed in grid view
I would like to request an improvement so that even if it is displayed in the grid view, it will be previewed in a few seconds.
It takes time to find the desired image file in the grid view, which is inefficient.
For example, if you display a folder with a large number of files in the grid view, it will be previewed little by little every few files, and it took about 2 minutes to display 374 files.3 votes -
Version control - multiple uploads of the same file
Person A uploads file 1 then person B uploads a new version file 2 as a separate file instead of using the upload new version feature. Same thing for person C and D with files 3 and 4 with 4 being the latest. Any editor should be able to select these multiple files and merge them into one where the files are autosorted according to date. So one file with file 1 as the file name but the contents show file 4 as the latest and if you check version history, you'll see files 1, 2, & 3.
Thank you…

Migration of files larger than 10MB from Google Drive
As it stands, we are unable to migrate content from Google Drive due with there being a HARD limit of 10MB as the max file size.
Google have a workaround which is outlined here - (1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55274737/is-there-any-way-download-bigger-than-10mb-documents-using-google-drive-api#:~:text=1-,This%20is%20answered,-in%20this%20question and here (2) https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/getThis would mean changing the Shuttle tooling so that Instead of using the Drive API Files:Export method, you can use Files: get (2) with fields = exportLinks.
3 votesThe limit on exporting Google files larger than 10MB is imposed by Google. We have reviewed the various available APIs and workarounds, but none of them produced a viable result. They all have other limitations that make them unsuitable for migration.
We will continue to monitor as Google continues to evolve and adapt its platform, and will look to increase this when or if it becomes viable.

sort colaborators list attached to a folder by their last name
As a teacher I add students to my folder as collaborators. If I want to make sure they are all in, I read my enrolment which is in sensible alphabetical order and have to check each name presence in "share list" in Box which is unsorted. This algorithm is O(n^2). If Box "shared list was sorted" it would be O(2*n). For 20 students that is difference between 400 and 40 compares. --thank you [add new category-- Usability]

Embed - Custom Branding Should Be Respected
Currently, an EID's custom branding settings (colors, logos, help URLs, etc.) are not respected/funneled through to the Embed UI. Essentially, the Embed UI is a totally separate UI currently and customers would prefer that it's just a smaller (responsive) window into the full webapp, respecting all custom branding, etc.
Customers would like Embed to...
1. Respect custom branding coloring
2. Respect the 'help' link that's set in the custom branding tab of the admin console5 votes -
Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users.: Want ability to embed AI Agents, and assign an Agent to a Hub.
Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users. Right now the best thing would be to give them a chatbot to read HR documents, on our Intranet in Sharepoint.
I would love to be able to embed ONLY the Agent into Sharepoint, but so far we can only embed the Box Hub. Therefore if my user wants to ask about their HR benifits, my user has to:
1. Go to the HR Sharepoint Site (where they normally find info on employee benefits, etc.)
2. Unlock the blue/white Box Cloud image (see: "RC HR…3 votes -

Box Sign: Enable option for File Request to be one of the fields for a Box Sign request.
Box Sign: Enable option for File Request to be one of the fields for a Box Sign request.
E.g. Place to upload photograph or picture of Driver's License. Include two options to either: (1) configure place the upload goes to; (2) or configure it to go to the same place as the contract.
3 votesWe have released the ability for signers to add files to a signature request via a file attachment field that senders can drag and drop within a signature request or document template. This new field allows senders to request additional documentation from signers.
With the signer attachment field, signers can now upload multiple files per attachment field. Once completed, all attached files and base documents are added to the final, completed signature request and designated destination folder within the sender’s Box account as separate PDFs. Both senders and signers have the ability to download all files individually or as a ZIP file.
The signer attachment field is available to customers on Enterprise and Enterprise Plus plans.

More customization of Box for Teams V2 Usage
We were wondering if we could partially turn on Box for Teams V2. Specifically, we want to turn off the option to create the "Box Files" tab but leave on the options to share Box content directly in groups chats or channel posts. The fact that it's set up as an all-or-nothing feature for now is holding us back from using it at all.

Display email address of sender for files uploaded through email to folder
When using email to folder in Box, the "user" shows whatever name another company set up for that external email address. An example is service@ringcentral.com - the uploader shows as "Fax in Rehabco 2" which means nothing to us - it is apparently something set up by another Box company. It should display the actual email address instead.
