Shield Auto-Classification Previewer workflow
Shield Auto-Classification Previewer workflow: a user previews the document, but only after refreshing the document does the auto-classify work and apply the classification label. Change this workflow so that a user does NOT have to refresh the document in order for the classification to be placed on the document

Need All User Events stream API like admin_logs_streaming
Currently Box has an API for collecting individual user events, but there is no API for collecting administrative user events for an entire tenant at once.
This makes it difficult to develop an application that collects all tenant user events in one place and then links them to other services, such as internal system notifications or Box-slack DM.It would be a great improvement if there was an API to collect user events equivalent to adminlogsstreaming.
As for user notifications, it seems that email and Zapier have been used to achieve this, but each of these is becoming a more serious problem.
Email is becoming more secure every year and unpredictable mail drops are becoming more frequent. It is doubtful that email can continue to be used as a reliable means of inter-application notification.
Zapier is a very useful service, but as regulatory trends in various governments require local security certifications, more and more users will find themselves in the position of not being able to use it.

Ability to comment on Box Relay approval tasks
Currently, there is no function to enter comments when executing approval tasks using Box Relay.
We are currently using email and the Mention function, but this is inconvenient, so we would like to have the ability to enter comments at the time of approval or rejection.
Having a comment when approving or rejecting a task will help us communicate with users, so we would appreciate it if you could add this as a feature.
現在Box Relayを利用した承認タスク実施時に、コメントを記載する機能がありません。
メールやメンション機能を現在は利用しておりますが、不便なため、承認時または却下時にコメントを入力する機能が欲しいです。
承認時や却下時にコメントがあることで、ユーザーへの意思疎通ができますので、機能として追加をいただけますと幸いです。23 votes -
The option to cascade Relay triggers to subfolders for all triggers
Box needs to add the cascade option to all Relay triggers to catch activity in underlying subfolders. The legacy automations feature that Box had did this by default. Now, the alternative is having to create several relay workflows that is too cumbersome to manage and doesn't scale.

Allow Administrators to View User Account Password
Allow Administrators to View User Account Password. I have a user at my company who does not wish to reset their password, and we are unable to view what the current password is set to. This appears to be a common issue that could have a simple solution.

Find the new place for getting a link to a file - Box Share
The pop-up menu in Explorer doesn't have "Box" anymore. Instead, there is a "Share" item on the menu, without indication that it relates to Box. How about renaming it to "Box Share"?

"Automatically remove invited collaborators" - override/shorten
I have enabled "Automatically remove invited collaborators" specifically for External Collaborators, under Enterprise settings > Content & Sharing.
There are use cases (per folder) where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to /override/ & shorten the expiration for an External Collaborator. This could be due to a contract or any other reason.
The only method to do this now, is to delete the entire folder and all content.
Example Use Case:
Enterprise settings:
- Content & Sharing > Invited collaborators expiration settings
-- Automatically remove invited collaborators
-- Remove after [ 90 ] days
-- Apply these settings to [ External Collaborators ]Folder "Project Yellowstone" co-owner would like all external collaborators to be removed after [ 30 ] days of being invited as a collaborator, or all external collaborators removed on SetDate regardless of when they were invited.

Ability to add tags to multiple photos at once
There needs to be a way to Quickly add a tag (after one is created) to additional photos. In other words, once I create a tag once, I need to be able to add this same tag to many other photos (one at a time though) with the simple click of the mouse, or keyboard shortcut, or similar. Having to go through the process of adding tags (as I'm reading in the instructions) is too time consuming when dealing with 1500+ photos. End goal is to flag photos as "favorites", that others can see and also add flags/favorites, and/or sort by the tag to see just the favorites. (Or just as quickly as photos to a specified "collection".

Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion
Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion
49 votesBecause of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

Ability to manually update Box Tools
If Box Tools fails to update automatically, you may need to install or reinstall the latest version of the installer (after uninstalling Box Tools).
Depending on the company, installation may require administrator privileges on the PC, and updating may not be easy.
Therefore, it is very convenient to develop a button that can be updated without installation as a standard function of Box Tools.

Improve search UI
Hi Team,
When I search in BOX folder which has many files using "ctlr+f" option, It doesn't search entire folder.
For Example: There are 10 files available in the folder which contains the name "OCA"(file name contains "OCA") And when I search I get only 6 results and when I scroll down and search I get remaining 4 results.
Can you please improve it to search the whole folder even if the file is present at the bottom of scrollable area?7 votes -
Metadata Templates for External Collaborators
There is no way for external collaborators to add metadata templates to folders and files. If templates are added for them, they can edit the templates, but they are unable to add the templates themselves.
Allowing external collaborators to add metadata templates on their own would be beneficial to enable collaboration that leverages metadata.
An example use case is photographers who use our Box environment to share image assets with us and would be the best people to classify the images.

Box Notes API / Integration with icalendar standard
Hello,
I'm one of the devs of DAVx⁵, the leading open source sync solution on Android. We're using open standards like WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV. People can access their files and sync calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and journals to their Android device.
We already can provide access to box.com files via WebDAV for users which is great. They can access their files from box.com on Android seamlessly.
But DAVx5 can also synchronize Tasks, Notes and Journals using CalDAV and the VJOURNAL and VTODO standards (jtx Board on Android is one app that is using VJOURNAL and VTODO for example).
It would be really cool if users could make their notes and tasks, workflows on box.com and sync/edit them to their Android with DAVx5 and jtx Board (both open source). Please consider implementing a CalDAV layer and mapping for box Notes to the icalendar standard (which includes VTODO and VJOURNAL).
The standards are found here:
RFC4791 (CalDAV)
RFC5545 (icalendar standard)
I really hope that this can be done since it makes it possible that more people can use and access box.com.
Thanks,

Ability to exclude certain email addresses from accessing public links.
Some links are shared with individuals both in and out of the organization. When the individuals move on, they no longer need access to our folders. It would be great if we could exclude their email addresses from future access.
