Provide an s3 compatible interface to box
Provide an S3 Compatible Interface to Box. This will allow applications that have native support writing to S3 storage the ability to natively write to Box instead.

See folder structure
Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.
For example, if the folder structure is:
X
|- Y
|- Zand our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.10 votes -
Ability to Customize Styling of Box Sign Email Notifications
Hi Box Support,
I’d like to submit a feature request for Box Sign regarding the email notifications that are sent to recipients when requesting signatures.
Currently, these emails appear to use a standard layout and font, with limited ability to customize the visual presentation. It would be extremely helpful to have the option to customize the email’s styling, including:
Font size and font family
Line spacing and paragraph formatting
Branding options (e.g., header image, color accents)
HTML support for enhanced formatting
This would allow users to create a more professional, brand-consistent, and user-friendly experience for signers. Even limited template…

Generate Report directly from the "View Report" link in "unusual activity" notification email to admin
Please explore changing the Unusual User Activity notification emails to admins to actually spin out the report for a user when the "View Report" link is clicked, instead of prompting admins to run the report manually after clicking "View Report."

Add functionality to view all folders set to "Make available offline"
I would love to be able to see which folders are currently set to "make available offline". I need free up space regularly.
Or a feature to see how much space box is taking up on my machine and what folders are using the space. Similar to storage on a Mac.

Bypass Box interface when signing a document via notification email
We have a client who wants to implement Box Sign, but can't do so until their senior leadership is able to bypass the Box interface as an intermediary. Senior leadership, often on the go, wants to be able to click directly from their email to sign a document.

Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link
For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.
Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.

Email notification for new reports available in My Box Reports Folder
Please add a new feature to enable email notifications when Box reports I request becomes available in My Box Reports folder. I find that some reports may take several hours to run, specifically the Files and Folders report, and I need to constantly check refreshing the page to see if the report has been uploaded.

Hide annoying Move Items security warning popup message
Ability to suppress user popup security notification that warns about moving file will make content available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
Move Items
This content will be available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
You have chosen to move the selected item to the folder 'folder-name'. This folder has collaborators outside of your company and has a public shared link enabled. Do you want to continue?

Enable account upgrades without needing to have 3 members
I currently have a Personal Pro account, and I'd like to upgrade to get more storage. It seems, however, that all upgrade options involve at least 3 users. I am but one. As much as I'd like to clone myself sometimes, it's just not practical (or, frankly, ethical...but that's another story).
Can we make a way to upgrade a 1-person account without having to pay for two unnecessary users?
If not, you're essentially throwing up a middle finger to solo practitioners, which isn't very nice.

Give Box Relay more options
Relay is weak at the moment when it comes to renaming files with very few variables supported when compared to rival storage apps.
Adding the ability to do character replacement/removal in the filenames of assets or even using regex would greatly enhance the automation offered by Box and reduce the reliance on third party apps to rename files.

Include total number of actions per batch email notification in subject line
Currently, the email subject line for batch emails is along the lines of "Items were moved to [folder]". Within the email, it will surface some specific examples, but at a certain number of items, the bottom has a small gray text link that says "[number] additional items. Click View All to view."
It would be helpful for users who rely on these notifications as part of their workflow to be able to easily see how many actions are accounted for in each batch notification, perhaps in the subject line or elsewhere.

Improvement of API performance and creation of guidelines for API usage
When utilizing Box’s API, if the amount of content per folder is enormous or the number of invitations to a folder is high, the processing speed drops significantly. As a result, it takes a long time to complete operations, which is quite frustrating.
We would like the API to deliver a more comfortable and speedy processing experience, so I hope you will improve the performance when using the API.
Additionally, there are currently no guidelines regarding API performance, so we have no choice but to verify performance degradation through testing.
This is hindering proactive API development. Please create clear guidelines…

Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary
Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.
This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.
