Default sort only savable from All files page
The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default. When refreshing the page it goes back to the last sort that you used on the "All Files" page.
Similar to other online file sharing platforms, when you change teh default sort to name or last modified it saves that sort for all other folders. On Box.com if you change the default sort to by last modified on the All Files page it then applies that as the default sort for all other sub folders. I found this bug with Box support after entering a ticket. They suggested I report the bug here. Case 2744369The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default.

Be able to use Microsoft 365 for our mail server sending Box Sign
We would like to use Microsoft 365 to send mail for Box Sign. The issue now is that some people get emails from Box and they'll block the domain in their spam filters. (Sorry Box) Most of our customers have our domain whitelisted. It would look more professional and we can manage it better.

BoxDrive-like UI for web apps
I want you to change the UI of the web application like Windows Explorer or BoxDrive.
Specifically, I would like the content list screen to be split into two, with the folder list displayed on the left and the contents of the folder displayed on the right.
If you use this UI, you won't have to switch screens every time you want to display another folder, so I think it will improve work efficiency.<WebアプリのBoxDriveのようなUI>
WebアプリのUIをWindowsエクスプローラやBoxDriveのように変更してほしい。
具体的には、コンテンツ一覧画面を２分割して、左側にフォルダ一覧、右側にフォルダ内コンテンツが表示されるようにしてほしい。
このUIにすれば、別のフォルダ内を表示するときにいちいち画面遷移しなくて済むので業務効率があがると思います。3 votes -
Rewind a folder
Dropbox had an incredibly useful feature called "rewind", where you could rewind the entire contents of a particular folder back to a certain point in time. This has saved our company on numerous occasions. Box should look into adding this feature since there isn't a way to preview different versions of a folder (only a file). Could save customers from huge headaches of losing files within a folder.

Content Cloud Plugin for Box for free
Dear Box team, I am trying to install the Content Cloud Plugin for Adobe Creative Cloud.
We can install: Content Cloud Plugin Content Cloud Plugin | https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/108224/content-cloud-plugin - this one is free but doesn’t have the Box integration
What we need is this: Content Cloud Plugin for Box Content Cloud Plugin for Box | https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/108110/content-cloud-plugin-for-box - which we can't install because I apparently have to pay for it.
As the integration is offered in the Box App center, would it be possible to get the Content Cloud Plugin for Box for free?Also, we are in general interested in more Adobe-Box integrations (e.g. Workfront, Adobe AEM, Adobe Dynamic Media, Adobe Photoshop integrations).
Thank you

Gap in deleting a file being locked between WebApp and Box Drive
In WebApp, collaborators don't have trash menu against the locked file, meaning collaboration cannot delete it during being locked. However, they are able to remove the locked file from their drive and leave an error in problem items. This deletion can only be done within Box Drive and the file isn't actually deleted. After removing the file lock, Box Drive will make it effective on Box. This can lead the users to create a same item before removing the file lock, and edit.

Auto-sync sub folders
If you sync a main folder, every folder under it or created inside it should get synced. I shouldn't have to go back to box.com to see if someone added a folder to the main directory if I have it so that directory is synced.
So if I have main directory Projects and someone adds a folder called Peanuts, it should automatically sync the peanuts folder and all its contetns because I told box to sync everything in the Projects folder. I shouldn't have to search out new folders every day, it should automatically download them to my computer.

Allow Users and Admins to set folders to be excluded from search results
It would be useful if Administrators had the ability to set folders to be excluded from Search results by default. For example, if a folder is used for historical archive purposes it might not be relevant for the majority of searches, but inclusion in search results will make it harder to find what the user is actually looking for. It would also be useful if users could do this for their own accounts as well.
One possible method of implementation is to add a Tag called "Archive" (or something similar) to folders that Users and/or Admins can set to exclude the folder from search results.
During searching, a prompt could be displayed with the option "See matches in Archive folders" to allow users to reinclude those excluded folders when necessary.

Preview support for .MXF files
MXF is an industry-standard file format for video and audio. MXF files contain information about the media inside (metadata). This file type is commonly used by marketing teams for video content. Requesting previewing support on Box Web App for .MXF files to allow easy external collaboration on this content.

status completion report when copying a file to another folder
Can we get a status completion report when copying a file to a new folder? Sometimes all the permissions don't copy over straight away, causing confusion. for example, I was unable to rename a file I just copied. I waited a while and then it worked.

Need the ability for users to rename shared folders that will not affect the name for other users.
Honestly the entire functionality of the shared folders within box could use an upgrade. We switched from Dropbox to Box because we thought it had more features and better for business, but it blows my mind that we could rename shared folders in Dropbox on a user level, and it does not affect other users that share the folder, but Box won't allow that? Make it very difficult for individual users to customize their folder structure and such in a way that works for them. It's way to restrictive.

Dedicated File Shortcuts without using Bookmarks
Currently if I want to create a link from one folder to a file or folder stored elsewhere in the system, the recommendation is to use Bookmarks. This method has several disadvantages.
• First, it requires creating the link on the target file or folder, meaning you need to navigate away from the folder where the bookmark needs to exist.
• Second, shared links can be removed, disabled, or expired, which would break the bookmark.
• Third, bookmarks do not work in Box Drive.I would suggest a dedicated mechanism within the Box system for creating and maintaining shortcuts, which is independent of the Bookmark system. Such a system would avoid the disadvantages above and provide some extra benefit. For example, if a file is the target of such a shortcut, that relationship could be viewable through an option in the file’s “More Options” menu allowing file owners to see and manage those shortcuts. Additional auditing would also be possible, with information showing who accessed the file from the shortcut.
The implementation I envision includes a new option in the “New +” menu of the web interface. Selecting this option would open a search dialog where a user could search through their box content directly.
Upon selecting a file, the user would then be prompted to select “Shortcut Permissions” that determine how other users can interact with the target file.
If the shortcut creator has Editor permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
• None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
• Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
• View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.
• Edit – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to view, download, and Edit the target file
o This is like creating a public “Can edit” shared link and embedding it in a bookmarkIf the shortcut creator has “Viewer” or “Viewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
• None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
• Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
• View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.If the shortcut creator has “Previewer” or “Previewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
• None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
• Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the fileSimilarly, other users’ interactions will be based on their permission in the folder containing the shortcut.
If a user is has editor permissions in the folder containing the shortcut a shortcut with “Edit” Shortcut permissions, then they will be able to edit the file.
If a user has Viewer permissions in the folder containing the shortcut, then they would only have “Viewer” permissions to the target file even if the shortcut creator gave the shortcut “Edit” permissions.
Finally, if the user already has some level of permission to the target file, and it exceeds the permission of the Shortcut, then that permission level would apply.

Add a feature to include all recipients in the fully executed copy notification and to attached a fully executed copy in PDF. Currently it
Please add a feature to include all recipients in the fully executed copy notification and to attached a fully executed copy in PDF. Currently it's confusing, since the signers and cc recipients gets directly a copy of the fully executed copy, but there's no way for the signers to determine who gets a fully executed copy, which adds to the confusion. This is very useful for viewing executed pdf from a mobile device (no need to signin to Box sign app which is cumbersome esp when SSO and MFA is enabled)
Citrix RightSignatture has this feature and it's really useful.
