Request to Make Service Accounts Created During Box Automate Use Easier to Identify
When a workflow is created and saved in Box Automate, a service account is created (e.g., InternalPlatformUser1234567ABCDEFGHIJ@boxdevedition.com).
However, at present, it is difficult to determine whether this account was created as part of using Box Automate, making it hard to distinguish it from a suspicious user that may have been created maliciously.
Therefore, we would like the service account (e.g., InternalPlatformUser1234567ABCDEFGHIJ@boxdevedition.com) to be made more easily identifiable as an account created for the use of Box Automate.
For example, after a workflow is created in Box Automate, we would like a pop-up to be displayed indicating that a service account for workflow execution (e.g., InternalPlatformUser1234567ABCDEFGHIJ@boxdevedition.com) has been created.内容：
Box Automateでワークフローを作成・保存すると、サービスアカウント（例：InternalPlatformUser1234567ABCDEFGHIJ@boxdevedition.com）が作成されます。
しかし、現状ではこのアカウントがBox Automateの利用に伴って作成されたものか判別しづらく、悪意を持って作成された不審なユーザーとの見分けがつきません。
そのため、サービスアカウント（例：InternalPlatformUser1234567ABCDEFGHIJ@boxdevedition.com）がBox Automate利用のために作成されたアカウントであることを、より分かりやすくしてほしいです。

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!

Request to Enable Start Time Configuration for Shared Link Validity
I would like the ability to configure the start date and time for a shared link’s validity period.
For example, a shared link would become active and accessible 60 minutes after it is created.
This feature would help prevent issues caused by misconfigured shared link permissions or sending a shared link to the wrong recipient.4 votes -
Probelm: my academic papers are being flagged as HIPPA violations
Not really sure where to put this... I am a paleontology researcher so I put a lot of academic research articles on Box to keep them handy. Today, Box has started flagging these articles as containing confidential patient health information. These are research articles that have nothing to do with human subjects. I would like to report this as an inappropriate automatic tagging by Box's tools and have it removed so that I can access and download my files as normal.

Search behavior for mixed-case item names
Description:
Today, mixed-case names appear to be split at uppercase→lowercase boundaries when indexed. That helps for classic camelCase, but it breaks acronyms when the casing is slightly different.
Examples of how names seem to be tokenized
XMLParser -> XML + Parser
XMLparser -> XM + LparserProblem:
For both forms, searching "XML" should return the item.
It works for XMLParser, but not for XMLparser, because the acronym is not kept as a single token in the second case.We see other patterns, such as:
TOPaaa → searchable with TO or TOPa, but not TOP
WORKaaa → searchable with WOR or WORKa, but not WORKRequest:
When an uppercase run looks like a meaningful word (e.g. XML, TOP, WORK), please index that full uppercase segment as its own token—even when it is immediately followed by lowercase letters (XMLparser, TOPaaa).
Thanks,

Provide a Grid/Tile View Option for My Collections
The redesigned My Collections page displays Collections horizontally across the top of the page rather than displaying each Collection as a tile/card as in the previous interface.
For organizations and users with a large number of Collections, this makes navigation less efficient because only a limited number of Collections are visible and the remaining Collections are placed behind the “more” dropdown.
In the previous tile/grid layout, users could see and select all of their Collections from a single page. This was particularly useful when Collections are being used to organize frequently accessed business content.
Please provide a user-selectable Grid/Tile view in addition to the new horizontal Collections navigation. This would allow users with many Collections to retain the improved new interface while choosing the presentation that works best for their workflow.

Ability to export daily bandwidth usage.
When a traffic congestion issue occurs, we would like to use the bandwidth reports per user and folder (listed below) for our investigation.
However, since these reports are primarily available on a monthly basis and do not support daily usage exports, it is difficult to utilize them effectively for troubleshooting.
・Bandwidth Usage by User Report
・Bandwidth Usage by Files and Folders ReportIf we could generate daily reports on bandwidth usage, it would help us investigate the causes of traffic congestion, so we would appreciate it if you could implement this feature.
トラフィックを逼迫させる事象が発生した際に、下記ユーザー・フォルダ毎の帯域幅レポートを調査で利用できるようにしたいですが、
主に月単位での出力となり日次での使用量出力には対応していないため、調査で利用することが難しいです。
・ユーザーによる帯域幅の使用状況
・ファイルとフォルダによる帯域幅の使用状況日次で帯域幅の使用量を出力することができれば、トラフィック逼迫時の原因調査にも役立ちますので、本機能の実装をお願いいたします。

Box AI does not recognize text in image-based PDFs
Thank you for releasing Box AI for free.
I am currently using Box AI with the feature enabled. It successfully recognizes text in document PDFs and image files (PNG, JPG, etc.), but it does not recognize text in image-based PDFs.
When I take a screenshot of the content in an image PDF and save it as an image file (PNG, JPG, etc.), Box AI is able to recognize the text. This suggests that the issue may be related to the file format.
If Box AI could also recognize text within image-based PDFs, it would greatly improve usability. I would appreciate your consideration of this enhancement.

Allow api.box.com in Box Connectors for HTTPS Request steps in Automate workflows
Please allow the HTTPS Request step in Box Automate to make requests to the Box API (api.box.com).
There are many things not currently supported natively by Box Automate steps which could be solved if the HTTPS Request step/outcome were allowed to consume the Box API.
For example:
- generate Box access tokens
- get file EXIF data from Box representations API
- lock files
- create shared links
- get number of files in a folder
- get file path
- create shared link passwords
- applying metadata cascade policies
- metadata extraction on a group of files (rather than just one file at a time)Please allow the HTTPS Request step in Box Automate to make requests to the Box API (api.box.com).

Implementation of Windows standard shortcut keys. Windows標準ショートカットキーの実装
Please make it possible to use standard Windows shortcut keys in Box as much as possible.
In particular, the following shortcuts do not work, which makes everyday tasks inconvenient.・F2: Rename
・Delete: Delete
・Shift+Delete: Permanently delete
・Ctrl+Shift+N: Create new folder
・Alt+↑: Go up one folder
・Alt+→ / Alt+←: Forward / Back (Please function as a history of folder navigation within the Box tab, rather than the browser's general history)By implementing standard Windows shortcut keys, users can perform file operations quickly with the keyboard, which will improve work efficiency.
Box上で、Windows標準のショートカットキーをできる限り利用できるようにしてください。
特に、以下のショートカットが使用できず、日常的な操作において不便を感じています。・F2：名称変更

・Alt＋↑：上のフォルダへ移動
・Alt＋→ / Alt＋←：進む / 戻る（ブラウザ全体の履歴ではなく、Boxタブ内でのフォルダ遷移の履歴として動作してほしい）Windows標準のショートカットキーの実装により、キーボードによる高速なファイル操作が可能となり、作業効率の向上につながります。

Pause upload/download on Box Drive
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I cannot describe how much this is important to me. I work on several projects that use many files simultaneously. Some of these files are large. Being unable to pause an upload/sync makes my workflow so incredibly slower.
Current life: I make some edit to a large file, my entire workflow is interrupted as said large file needs to be entirely uploaded before I can retrieve literally anything else from Box. This last part is not even Box's problem, but I have a pretty decent computer and slows down significantly during large uploads, which affects the rest of my work too. Even writing this request was a little slow.
Now, IMAGINE this wonderful little scenario: I click on the Box icon. I hit pause sync or whatever you may want to call it. I do whatever edit I want. Then, at the end of the workday, I hit resume sync.
Now IMAGINE this even better scenario for someone like me: oops, I forgot to hit the pause button before I started working. NO PROBLEM! I can pause/cancel this particular upload as it is happening.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thank you Box team!

Automatic Box Canvas Creation Based on Instructions to Box AI
Currently, Box Canvas provides templates, but users still need to create the content themselves each time, which can be burdensome.
To further reduce user workload, I would like to request a feature that allows Box AI to automatically generate a Box Canvas output based on user instructions.
Box AIへの指示でBox Canvasを自動作成：
現在、Box Canvasにはテンプレートが用意されているが、ユーザー自身が毎回コンテンツを作成する必要があり、負担が大きいです。

Enable assignement of taxonomy metadata fields using variables in Add Metadata Outcome
Currently, a taxonomy field in the metadata template used by a form can be completed (that is, the person completing the form can select a value from the taxonomy), but in an Automate workflow the value that is selected cannot be applied to a file using the Add Metadata outcome, because that field type does not allow value assignment via a variable.
The only way to make this work is to use a Dropdown field in the metadata template. Those do allow the use of variables to assign values in the Add Metadata step. BUT, that creates a maintenance nightmare for the following reasons:
1) If the same values are needed in multiple metadata templates, they have to be added to each one separately, as individual Drop Down fields. We have a taxonomy that has 40 items in it, and since we can't use that as a field in the template, it means that we have to hand-enter the same 40 items in a new Drop Down field every time we want to expose those values in a form, and
2) When the value(s) in that "taxonomy" change, each and every metadata template that has a field that exposes those values has to be edited. And there's no easy way to identify which metadata templates use the field, so the only way to make sure that you don't have a regression is to check every single one.
Obviously, both of those are huge issues at scale. How this wasn't implemented properly from the beginning is completely beyond me. It should be a high priority fix.

Request for a function that can determine whether an email address is registered in the Suppression List
If a welcome message is sent before the mailbox creation is complete, it will be added to the Suppression List as an invalid email address.
However, I don't know which email address was added to the suppression list.
Also, in the management of the suppression list, even if you delete it, it will come out again.
I would like to request a function that allows you to see the email address registered in the Suppression List.【In Japanese】

Generated alerts from the Box.com system for data classification policies that have found sensitive data
When a data classification is set to detect social security or credit card numbers and detects that, generate an alert email to be sent to the Admins. This was an option under the old Governance solution. That ability was lost under the new Shield Classification method. Why are third party tools required, such as a SIEM, to get notifications of sensitive data?
