Add new formats to formatting text tags (年月日, yyyy/mm/dd)
Please make the text tags specified in DocGen templates compatible with the date formats commonly used by Japanese customers.
These are formats that are very commonly used in contracts and invoices.
1. yyyy/mm/dd → 2025/06/06
2. yyyy/m/d → 2025/6/6
3. yyyy年mm月dd日 → 2025年06月06日
4. yyyy年m月d日 → 2025年6月6日ーーーーーーーーーーーー
DocGenテンプレートで指定するテキストタグで、日本のお客さまがよく使う日付書式に対応してほしい。これらは契約書や請求書でとてもよく使う書式です。
1．yyyy/mm/dd → 2025/06/06
2．yyyy/m/d → 2025/6/6
3．yyyy年mm月dd日 → 2025年06月06日

Identify which files and folders a user owns within a shared Teams folder, that are not shared or collaborated with others
We encountered a situation where certain files inside a shared drive were only visible to one user, while others couldn’t access them. This caused confusion because the files appeared to be part of the shared structure but were effectively private. A feature that highlights or filters these user-owned, non-shared items would help prevent misunderstandings and improve transparency.

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 or styling options would be a big improvement.
If this is something being considered or available via an enterprise or API-based solution, I’d love to learn more. Otherwise, I hope this request can be considered for a future update to Box Sign.
Thank you for your time and for the great product.
Best regards, haej

Integrated Chat Functionality (Native to Box)
Our audience is mostly external partners, all who use disparate communication platforms like Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Zoom, etc. Integrating a single third-party chat option into our Box Hubs environment risks alienating some of our external partners who are unable to use that specific platform due to their organization’s IT guidelines. It would be beneficial to have a native, lightweight and persistent chat area within our Box Hubs environment (maybe as a side panel similar to Box AI) that would allow users to communicate immediately about content and projects and ask questions without having to leave the Box environment.

Ability to change and update assignee on expired tasks
We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.
For expired tasks, pressing "Update" from "Change Task" will not respond, and the task cannot be edited.
It is inconvenient not to be able to edit or update tasks, as tasks cannot be marked as completed when unauthorized users are absent due to leaving the company or being transferred.
Also, although it is possible to update a task by extending its deadline, I would like to keep a history of when the task was created.
There appears to be a problem because there is no response when you run "Update".
If it is not possible to renew an expired task, please improve the feature to display an error message indicating that renewal is not possible.（日本語）
「期限切れのタスクにて担当者の変更および更新を可能とする機能」
期限切れのタスクにおいても「タスクを変更」からユーザーの削除および更新が可能となるように改善を要望します。
期限切れのタスクでは「タスクを変更」から「更新」を押しても反応せず、タスクを編集することが出来ません。
未承認のユーザーが退職や異動で不在となった場合にタスクを完了とすることができないため、編集・更新できないことは不便です。
また、タスクの期限を延長することで更新することが可能ですが、タスクを作成した当時の履歴を残しておきたいです。
「更新」を実行しても反応が無いことから不具合に見えます。
期限切れのタスクを更新することが実現できないのであれば、更新が出来ないエラーメッセージを表示するよう改善してください。We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.

User Offboarding (File/Folder Moves)
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the user offboarding process. When we delete a user, it would be very helpful to have more granular control over where that user’s files and folders are moved within the tenant. This way we can choose someone and then maybe a subfolder they want the data placed in.
Specifically, having the option to:
- Choose the destination folder for the disabled user’s content.
- Include checkbox option to include trash bin contents along with the rest of their files.This would make the offboarding process more efficient and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Add a "View All Tasks" button to the left menu
To view all tasks, you need to press the clipboard icon and then select "View All Tasks."
It takes two clicks each time, which is very time-consuming.
I would like you to add it to the left menu so that I can check all tasks with a single click.

Support for Multiple Upload Zones in Box Forms + Relay
Summary:
Enable the creation of multiple, distinct file upload zones within a single application or embed experience—for example, within a Box Doc Gen-powered form or workflow.Details:
Today, applications built with Box’s Form capabilities typically support a single upload zone or file request area. This limits the ability to organize incoming files contextually during intake or data collection workflows.We’re requesting support for multiple upload zones in the same app or form—each mapped to a different folder, metadata tag, or Doc Gen trigger.
Example Use Case – Box Doc Gen for Application Processing:
Imagine a form that uses Box Doc Gen to generate a PDF application. The process includes:Zone 1: “Upload Supplemental Documents”
Applicant uploads income verification, letters of recommendation, etc.
Files are tagged or routed to a designated folder with metadata "doc_type = supplemental"
Zone 2: “Upload Copies of Records”
Applicant uploads prior case files or records
Files are routed with metadata "doc_type = records" or to a different subfolder
This could then change the views in Box Apps and other locations to trigger workflows.

External Users sortable columns and bulk deletion based on last active date
Box makes it easier thru the Admin console GUI in the near future.
For External Users a sortable column of “Last Active” and then bulk deletion is needed in the Admin GUI.It would also be nice to have the option in Security to set a threshold like 90 days inactive for External Users before auto-delete to manage this automatically going forward.

Added annotation function to the BoxNotes preview screen
This is a request for a preview screen that appears when the BoxNotes URL is changed from "notes" to "file."
When reviewing the text and inserted images in a created Note, the annotation function cannot be used, making it difficult to request corrections by pointing out specific parts.To streamline file reviews, please make the annotation feature available in BoxNotes as well.
A good place to place the annotation function is on the text written or on the inserted image in the BoxNotes preview screen.
BoxNotesのURLを"notes"から"file"へ変更した際に表示されるプレビュー画面の要望です。
作成したNoteの文章・挿入画像のレビューを行う際に注釈機能が利用出来ない為、特定の箇所を明記して修正依頼をすることが難しい。
ファイルレビュー効率化の為、BoxNotesでもアノテーション機能を利用できるように変更してください。

We want to make it easier to change the owner of a workflow in Box Relay.
In Japan, organizational changes and personnel transfers occur frequently, which necessitates changing the owner of workflows in Box Relay.
Currently, to change the owner, users have to transfer the workflow to another user and disable the original workflow.This process is not intuitive and is cumbersome for users. Additionally, there are too many steps involved. As a result, even though Relay is a good feature, it feels difficult to use and does not gain user adoption.
We would like to see improvements that allow for a one-click transfer of ownership.
For example, adding an option to change the owner in the same menu as "Transfer to User" for each workflow, where users can simply input the name of the new owner to make the change.(In Japanese)
〈Box Relayでワークフローの所有者変更をもっと簡単にしたい〉日本では組織変更や人事異動が頻繁に発生するため、それに伴いBox Relayのワークフローの所有者の変更が求められます。
現状、所有者を変更する時は、ワークフローを他のユーザーに転送し元のワークフローは無効化することで実現していますが、これはユーザーにとって直観性がなく使いにくいです。また、実施手順も多すぎます。
そのため、Relay自体が良い機能なのに使いづらく感じてしまい、ユーザーに定着しません。
簡単にワンクリックで所有者を移管できるように機能改善をしてほしいです。

Ability to keep recent updates highlighted
In a shared Box Note, any new updates are highlighted, but once I review the notes and navigate away from the page, the highlights disappear. I know there's a toggle at the top to turn highlights off and on, but can there be a way to keep new updates highlighted until i'm ready to turn them off; regardless if I navigate away from the page. Just to give an example, someone added and edited a bunch of new information to my box note. So much so, there was too many for me to review and address. I went away from the page, and the highlights disappeared, so I no longer could locate exactly what was changed.

Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files
Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

Change the warning message when external users change their password.
The new feature "Enable detection of confirmed leaked passwords" has been applied.
If an invited external user does not meet the password criteria, they will be required to change their password.
When entering a new password, if the password does not meet the requirements, a message will appear stating "Password was exposed in a data breach"
This message is confusing as it misleadingly suggests that a data breach has occurred on the tenant's side.
Therefore, please change it to something appropriate, such as "The password you entered is weak, please make it more complex."
新機能の「漏えいが確認されたパスワードの検出を有効にする」を適用してます。 招待された外部ユーザーがパスワード条件を満たしていない場合、パスワードを変更する必要があります。
新しいパスワードを入力したとき、条件を満たしていないパスワードを入れると、「データ侵害で漏えいが確認されたパスワードです」とメッセージが表示されます。
このメッセージでは、テナント側でデータ侵害が発生したという誤解を生むような表現となっており、混乱します。
よって、「入力したパスワードは脆弱なので、より複雑なものにしてください」といった適した内容に修正してください。4 votes -
Editing Box Hubs: Adding a description to a file or folder
I'd like to be able to add a short description to each file and folder I add to the Hub.
For example, a description is added just below the file or folder icon, or a speech bubble appears when you hover the cursor over the file or folder icon.19 votesThis suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release.

SFTP authentication method using a key pair.
Please allow Box to use a key pair as an SFTP authentication method as an alternative to a username and password. Not all systems allow files to be sent via SFTP using a username/password. Thanks.

List of files detected as abnormal downloads
Content: Currently, Box Shield cannot output a list of files detected as abnormal downloads, so a report must be output and presented to the user for confirmation.
