Continuous Capture Scan Mode Enhancement
For the Scan feature, currently three modes exist - Photo, Monochrome, Black and White. Photo is the default mode and does not adjust for shadows. If scanning numerous pages, the only way to change this is manually each time. No preset exists to change the mode. It is much more desirable when scanning documents to automatically adjust for shadows, which is why virtually all mobile scanning apps do this as the default. Box Capture is a great tool, but creating preset mode options within Continuous Capture settings would elevate Box's scan tool significantly for users who routinely scan a higher volume of documents.

File Request - restrict or track configuration
Allow for the ability restrict the File Request configuration from being editable. Alternatively, allow for reporting (via user activity reporting, event stream, API, otherwise) on the explicit configuration of File Requests, including field titles, descriptions, and helper text.
Use case: Financial institutions requiring auditing trail of all communication to external clients within Box, including custom configured text set by internal employees on File Requests distributed externally.

Widen Report Selection Window So Scroll Bar Does Not Overlap Report Type Bubble Selector
Please either widen the report selection window, move the report selection bubbles left, or the scroll bar to the right so that the scroll bar does not overlap with the selection bubbles. When you scroll through the report types, the scroll bar appears and overlaps with the report type selection bubbles, forcing us to wait for it to disappear before we are able to select the report type. Please make some small CSS change to stop this from happening. It is a minor thing but it gets in the way every time when scrolling down and is infuriating.
Attached screenshot has an example of the issue.

wildcard domain blocking
We would like to be able to use wildcards within our environment for blocking whole domains, in our case we plan to target unexpected countries via the domain block policy. By default we would like to prevent any box accounts from an unexpected source from being collaborated with. If we ever encounter an exception to this default we plan to use the ability within shield to create a whitelist to allow only those accounts which are expected to bypass the policy.

File Deletion Command
Hello,
I’d like to bring up a suggestion that could help prevent errors and the loss of important documents.I think it would be better—and essential—to move the “Trash” command, which is located in the drop-down menu (after clicking the three dots), well below the “Download” command.
In fact, I think the “Download” command is used very frequently for files available on the drive. It’s easy to accidentally click the wrong button, depending on how careful you’re being.
If the “Trash” command—which deletes a file—were placed at the very bottom of the drop-down menu and highlighted in a different color, mistakes would be much less frequent.This solution would improve the user experience for your BOX tool.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
Best regards,

Box Entra Gallery App integration
We're in the process of migrating from our current IdP service to Entra Enterprise Apps and need to reach parity in Entra with current IdP capabilities. For the most part we have parity for Box using the gallery app in Entra with two key gaps.
- Automated Personal Folder creation, using a standard naming convention, to a nominated root folder at the time the account is provisioned, with the user added as a Co-Owner to the Personal Folder
- Assignment of user Role Type at account creation time. We currently use Group Assignments to determine if a user is assigned the Member or Co-Admin role type. We need to do this or the Co-Admin Role Types get overwritten with Member type when IdP provisioning syncs profile updates for users
I understand that Microsoft own's the Box Gallery app in Entra but would be great if Box can lean on Microsoft to introduce these two missing capabilities

Merge PDFs generated when uploading with Box Sign
Every time you upload a file to Box Sign, a PDF file is generated, which can make the data cluttered.
Is it possible to make it so that only the final combined data is generated as a PDF file?

Request to add output items to the Box Hubs Report
Could you please include the "Hub Settings" items in the output of the Box Hubs Report?
After a Hub is created, the creator configures access and collaboration settings for the Hub in "Hub Settings."
As Box administrators, we would like to have an overview of access and collaboration settings for each Hub.
While the settings can be checked individually in Content > Hubs by clicking into each Hub, it is necessary to open each one separately to confirm the configurations.
Therefore, it would be much more convenient if "Hub Settings" could be reviewed collectively in the report.16 votes -
Enable native Google share module for externally-shared files stored in Box
Request:
Add the ability to share files directly via Google's native share module (Google Drive sharing UI/flow) rather than requiring the Box share flow, while keeping the underlying file stored in Box.Use case:
Some of our clients use Box as their primary repository. When we need to share a file with these external clients, the current flow requires them to create a Box account to access the shared file. This is a blocker and several times it's come up that external clients will not create Box accounts just to receive a file.We still want the file itself to remain stored in Box (Box stays the system of record). We just want the sharing/access layer to go through Google's share module so recipients can access files with their existing Google credentials, without provisioning a Box account.
Proposed behavior:
File remains stored in Box (no change to storage/repository).
Sharing is initiated through the Google share module instead of the Box share flow.
External recipients access the file via Google (existing Google account), with no Box account required.Business impact:
Removes a hard friction point when collaborating with Box-primary clients, reduces onboarding barriers for external sharing, and preserves Box as the storage backend.Request:

Allow folder navigation and expansion directly within the Box Hubs UI
Currently, when a user clicks on a folder that has been added to a Hub, the folder opens in a separate browser tab to display the list of items.
From a User Experience (UX) perspective, we believe it is critical to keep the user flow consistent. Therefore, it is highly desirable for users to be able to expand folders and navigate their contents directly within the Hubs interface, rather than being redirected to a new tab.
Request: We kindly request the implementation of a feature that allows folder expansion and navigation within the Box Hubs UI. Furthermore, it would be ideal if this feature could be configurable, allowing administrators to toggle this behavior (enable/disable in-Hub expansion) on a per-Hub basis.

Have "View" functionality available when selecting "include sub-folders"
At this time, when running a report and toggling on the "include subfolders" option, the "View" option is not supported. A "No matching results found" message appears or the previewed actions don't take the selected folders into consideration.
The generated report does show the correct actions with the selected filters, but there's a need for better previewing before running the report. This will allow admins to have a clearer understanding of what will be in the final report.

Custom ready-sign link landing page
We use Ready-Sign Links for an Education Assistance program. It would be very helpful if we could customize the landing page when we create the template:
- Colors
- Logo
- Text to introduce what’s it aboutThe benefit is that if we could do this when creating the RSL Template, we would not need to coordinate with our IT/website owners on adapting or creating a new page where this link lives. Even simple branding items like this enhance our end users' experience and reduce confusion or hesitation.

Allow Azure SSO with Passkey on mobile app without losing device trust.
We are moving to Passkey Authentication using Azure AD and it is shame that I can't use passkey to login to box mobile app. The workaround provided by Box support is to turn of device trust which is not workable for us because that will increase our internal threat exposure.
We only allow access from managed devices. can you please enable support for Passkey authentication without disabling device trust for mobile app. Given that Passkey is the future I am assuming it's not just us that will have this problem.
If box wants to expand in Enterprise space they need this feature to offer the best security for enterprise clients.

Better manage notifications
Change the display or platform of notifications to be visible like an inbox vs having to scroll through hundreds of notifications to try to find one. I miss several on a daily basis due to the amount of times I am tagged in files and documents from my organization.

I would like the number of managed users to be displayed in real time.
Regarding counting managed users in Admin Console > Users & Groups, the current design has a delay of one or few hours before accurate number is reflected.
While we can use reports to see the exact number of users, it would be better to be able to see the number immediately after adding or removing users more intuitively.7 votes
