  1. Provide the option of skipping files that have already previously been uploaded when loading a batch of files instead of creating "versions"

    When I select all the files in a directory and drop them to Box.com, I need the ability to tell the system to skip any files that are already there and only upload the ones that are new. Currently, the system repeatedly uploads identical files and keeps creating "versions" each time the directory gets updated. It doesn't have to be the default behavior, since I assume there are use cases where versioning makes sense. But it absolutely should be an option, since the default user experience is to be asked how duplicates should be handled and given the ability to…

  2. Custom color change setting on individual files

    Just a simple custom color setting on files would be excellent. The standard purple that Box uses to display the file type really clashes with our branding. We are using the embed widget and turned off the Box logo which is really helpful, but when the audio file plays it shows up purple and does not look custom at all.

  3. Folder Integrations not available on All Files unless user is owner

    We have an App Integration for Folders; Quick Scan. If a user has access to upload to a folder they can use Quick Scan from the Folder's More Actions, Integrations menu to scan a document directly into the folder.

    It appears, if a user is the Owner of the folder, the Integration to Quick Scan appears when accessing the Folder's More Options from the All Files area. But, if the user is not the Owner, no Folder Integrations appear. The Folder Integrations always appear if the folder More Options is accessed from a sub-folder, i.e. not the All Files area.

  4. External files are displayed in Content Manager

    The External Collaboration Report outputs folders and files that are invited from outside as "external folder" and "external file".
    The Content Manager only displays external folders, which is not consistent.
    Therefore, we would like the external folders to be displayed in the Content Manager as well.

  6. box ai for mp4 files

    I record some zoom meetings with SnagIt which creates an mp4 file (which I save to Box). Can Box AI then read/summarize that recordings?

  7. List View of Marked For Offline Files

    It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

  8. counter for number of files selected so that users get warned / prevented from selecting over 20k files for a hub

    "Wanted to flag an additional item as a requested enhancement from our team - for the widget to select files / folders to ultimately create a hub; it would be nice to have a counter for number of files selected so that users get warned / prevented from selecting over 20k files for a hub"

  9. Global ability to lock all files that are opened

    We want all files "locked" when opened so that any other user would be notified that the file is opened by another user and they can look in "read-only" view.

  10. Need error log print or output option

    My Box context menu says "Error updating 28 items." I look at the errors, figure out the problem, and want to send the file list to the person who is causing the problem. Oh wait, there's no way to do that. I can't capture the text displayed, I can't forward it, I can't do anything.

    Please add a "print log" function or permit the user to somehow get info out of the display window. I need to send the details to another person.

    Thank you.

  14. Add native search functionality to CSV or text files from within the web app

    The Box web app does not currently have native search functionality for CSV or text files. The browser find bar fails because the system hides information that's not visible.

    Can this functionality be added so that I'm not forced to re-download files to simply search them?

  16. Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream

    Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

  17. Ability to configure Microsoft Teams Chat Files to exclude external user

    We would like to be able to set it so that external users are not invited to Microsoft Teams Chat Files.
    Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening in the chat settings on the Teams side.
    In addition, it is possible to invite external users on Box. 

    (In Japanese)
    Microsoft Teams Chat Filesに外部ユーザーが招待されないように設定できるようにしてほしい。
    現状ではTeamsのチャット設定で防くしかない上にBox上では外部ユーザーを招待できてしまうため。

  18. Download and Print restriction policy and Office co-authoring

    I have Office co-editing enabled on my device.

    An error appears when I try to edit an Office file from a web browser that has the file labeled with "Download and Print Restrictions Access Policy for Box Desktop" enabled.

    It's meant to be a label to disable BoxDrive, but I'm having trouble if I can't edit it from a web browser.

    Please enable Office co-authoring from a web browser, even if the file is labeled with these restriction.

  19. Choose upload folder for each files by Box for Outlook

    When uploading and attaching files by Box for Outlook, we can't choose some folders each files. Therefore, we can't user Box button and we had to upload by hand.
    My customer request is to choose upload folder for each files.

  20. Ability to Hide Files from Users in Box Hubs

    It would be useful to have the option to hide certain files from users in Box Hubs. This would allow us to add files in formats like .csv or JSON for Box AI to process without cluttering the user interface. Often, data is organized in ways that are visually helpful for users but difficult for Box AI to interpret effectively. By hiding files, we could optimize the AI's ability to provide accurate answers while keeping the UI clean.

    For example, we use a complex PDF matrix to help staff identify key contacts for various tasks like reporting, data analysis,…
