Add a Folder Viewer role
Along with the current 7 access levels, adding the “folder viewer”level which the user can see ancestral folders(with no access to those folders).
If a collaborator is invited from 2 different sub-folders with the same name, the folder name on the invitee’s first level shows the same. This can confuse users and might cause uploading/editing contents at the wrong destination.
Once this access level is deployed, the collaborator can clarify the root folder without having to confirm its contents.
Viewing folder paths can be done with canviewpath in the API but we want this to be possible in…

NetSuite - More information on 'Box Record Folder' custom record
In the NetSuite-Box integration (v2) there is a custom record type (Box Record Folder). A record is created for each folder created in Box for each NetSuite record. This record currently contains the following information: NetSuite Record ID, Box Record Folder ID, and NetSuite Record Type. I would like to see more information on this record that would allow useful searches of Box information (via this custom record) without having to create additional Box integrations or scripting inside NetSuite. Specifically, I'd like to see:
-A direct link to the specified NetSuite Record (Custom Field of Type List/Record)
-A checkbox or…3 votes -
install and syncronize box in a chosen folder
I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.
My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and…

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 -
Push the recommended Hub
In Box Hubs, we would like to have the ability to push high priority Hubs from the admin side.
Currently, users have to click on the "Box Hubs" tab from the left side of the screen to get to each Hub.
The name "Box Hubs" is not intuitive to the average user, so they almost never access it.
This is the same as the "feeds" that were discontinued in beta.On the other hand, we would like to have the ability to push Hub recommendations to all managed users or specified gruop.
Specifically, we have the following suggestions

Box for Teams Content Card Support for Group Invites
We have confirmed that when collaborating as a group rather than as a direct collaborator, the content card behaves differently than described in the article.
After investigating with your company (Box), we were told that content card behavior for group invitations is not currently supported.
Therefore, to avoid confusion for users, we would like you to take the following action.【Requests】:
1.The article should clearly state that the operation of content cards for group invitations is not currently supported.
2.In the future, we would like to see content cards for group invitations also be supported.【Target article】:

Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention
For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:
1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane.…

Make the Web App WCAG2 Level AA Compliant (eliminate need for a.box separate site)
The current Box Web is not WCAG 2.0 Level AAA compliant currently, meaning users who require accessibility support need to use a.box. This is a subpar solution given that a.box is based on m.box which is missing large amounts of functionality that the full Web App provides.

Rollup secret for OAuth2 with client credentials.
Please provide a way to update client_secret without any custom app service impact.
With the current interface, issuing a new secret invalidates the previous one.
Periodic updating of secret is a security best practice, but this is not possible with client credentials.1 vote -
box for office use several accounts
I have 2 Box accounts and one instance of Outlook. It'd be very convenient to be able to download / upload using several accounts from Box for office (save attachments in Outlook, attach links, etc.).
As an example, I have this ability with Adobe Acrobat in which my 2 accounts are linked.2 votes -
Google Doc "share" from google.
When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )
Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.
I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then…

Web Clipper
As a user, I would like to bookmark or clip webpage into box. There are two issues on the current "Box Bookmark" as following.
- Box Bookmark needs 2 copy&paste motions (URL and Name) when trying to save a page
- Box Bookmark may be unaccessible when webpage is not available so it should give an option as a screenshot

Add root level file path + end file path to search results (Root > 1 > 2 > 3....x+3 > x+2 > x+1 > x)
Currently, when you search for an item in Box, the list of returns displays the last x amount of folders in the file path that fit in the screen. Understanding that showing the entire file path (though desired) would not be possible, it would be more helpful to show the first 3 folders starting from the root folder, and the last 3 folders from the bottom, to get a better idea of where this item lives. Due to large enterprises with multiple PB of content, only seeing the last 3 folders of the file path is not helpful enough.

Limits for simultaneous file uploads and Batch processing capability
I usually upload folders. Each folder could have 1 or 2 files, or 6 or 7 files, or more. When it's just 1 or 2, everything is fine, but when there are 4 or more, they seem to eat up my bandwidth. It would help if there was a limit within Box to control how many files upload simultaneously. Additionally, having a true batch process would be very helpful. That would allow me to line up several folders to upload and each one would upload in turn.

Extend Developer Token for Apps that Integrate with Box.com, the Current Toke has a Limit 2 Months
Please add a new feature that allows us to change the expiration date of the Developer Token for apps that integrate with Box.com.
We are currently using Splunk to collect logs from Box.com, but the token expires every 60 days, which is a ridicules short amount of time, and there is no option to extent it to a 365 days or 6 months, if we like.
Please add this option, it is a pain to have to renew the token every 60 days. I have projects and other things that I need to work on, I should have to be…

Request to improve metadata_query limitation
Metadata queries Limitations
https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/limitations/When sending a metadata query request for which the result set exceeds 2,000 items, the API can only guarantee that it returns all all matching results if both the following conditions are met.
1.The requesting user has at least Previewer permission to all items in the result set
2.The ancestor folder contains all of the files in the result setWith the above limitation, it is not possible to narrow down the search to metadata for a specific folder when the range of metadata assigned is wide.
Could it be improved so that the number of…2 votes
