Ability to overwrite original file with the signed file
Allow for the signed file to overwrite the original file. Access permissions would need to be set. Unsigned document can be access from Version history.

Set personal defaults, like alpha by Name
We need to be able to set personal defaults on our Box pages. For example, I want folders to come up in alpha order by name. Right now they seem to default to something else that seems random to me. It's very frustrating not having things in alpha order so that I can look them up easily. It makes no sense to have to take the extra step of setting the order to NAME every single time I go to a Box page.

Outlook Integration - Box Embed Widget/ Folder Tree View
It would be useful to offer users of Outlook a view into all of their Box files via a folder tree or embed widget. They could easily drag and drop emails or attachments into the relevant folders to be stored as well as viewing their content/ reading archived emails. Supporting our philosophy of integration and being able to surface content through popular applications. Requested by customer Eric Wright Group in EMEA.

Secure open link - Require email address verification with one-time password
【Summary】
Please add "Require email address confirmation by one-time password" to the Open Link settings.
This will allow the access statistics to show the email addresses of users who have accessed from the open link, so that you can determine if the access is suspicious or not.【Problem to be solved】
The current open link is not secure enough.
This is because it is not possible to determine who accessed the file.
With the current use, if a user who is not logged in to Box accesses from an open link, the access history only shows the IP address and expected region.
The IP address can only be used to guess the network used, and the expected region is wrong in some cases.
It is impossible for the IT management department to monitor whether the open link is a pathway for information leakage.【Idea Details】
Allow users to select "Require email address verification with one-time password" when issuing an Open Link.
If this setting is enabled, the following actions will be taken
<If the user accessing is logged in to Box>
Displayed as before, without change.
<If the user accessing is not logged in to Box>
(1) The user will be asked to enter email address.
The one-time password will be sent to the address he/she entered.
(3) The user will be asked to enter one-time password.
(4) When the user enter the correct one-time password, he/she will be able to open the open link.
(5)The email address entered will be displayed in the file access history.【Additional idea】
If you realize this request, it will also be possible to restrict open links with a domain whitelist. I have raised the request in the following ticket.

file transfer status
One of our users recently asked the following:
"The Transfers pane in the Box drive alert window rarely shows any file
names, even when files are actively being transferred. Please change the
Transfers window so that it shows a rolling list of all transferring and
recently transferred files and a time remaining estimate. The list
should be rolling and not clear when the transfers are done. It should
always be possible to see the last 5-10 files that Box Drive has
transferred."I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request, but thought I'd share it here.

Automatically save Box Drive logs
I want Box Drive logs to be automatically saved in Box.
Currently, Box Drive logs are deleted by log rotation, and even a customer wants to ask Box to investigate, the logs are no longer left.
As a result, Box, Inc. sometimes cannot investigate it.Because Box recommends an unlimited-capacity digital workplace environment, I think it's nonsense that we lose logs.
Therefore, I would like to be able to automatically save the Box Drive log to Box as an option.

Native Workday integration
Box does not have a native Workday integration today. This would be massively valuable and would lead to huge upside for Box.

Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads
Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.
a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.3 votes -
Update Thumbnail of Video
The fact I can't update the thumbnails of my videos is incredibly frustrating. I typically upload videos of interviews and Box always picks some thumbnail image of me with my mouth wide open or some other ludicrous face. Imagine trying to send your boss or the head of your research team a video link and it has a stupid picture of yourself on it? It's humiliating. Every other video uploading software I have used has the option to update thumbnails...currently I have to try and trim the video in places to see if it will pick another image which is time-consuming. Uploading barely different versions of the same hour-long video 5 times until Box picks another image seems non-optimal.

UI enhancements to indicate moving/copying activity in progress
When moving/copying files and folders in BoxDrive, I want to be able to see visually that an operation is taking place.
Currently, BoxWeb displays a green dialog at the top of the screen when you move or copy files or folders,
but However, BoxDrive has an explorer-like feel, so I don't think this kind of display appears even when a move/copy is performed.However, BoxDrive has an Explorer-like feel, so I don't think this kind of display appears when moving/copying is performed. or some other confirmation dialog. When an operation is performed, we would like to see a confirmation dialog such as "Do you want to move/copy?" or a progress bar so that the user can visually see that an operation is in progress.
This is a request to reduce the risk of users making mistakes without realizing it.
①BoxDriveにてファイルやフォルダの移動/コピー時、操作が行われていることが視覚的に分かるようにしてほしい
現在、BoxWebではファイルやフォルダを移動/コピーした際に、画面上部に緑色のダイアログが表示されるようになっていますが、
BoxDriveはエクスプローラライクな操作感のため、移動/コピーが行われてもこのような表示が出ない仕様かと思います。
操作が行われると「移動/コピーを行いますか？」といったような確認ダイアログや、
操作中ということが視覚的に分かるようなプログレスバーなどを表示させるような機能を実装いただきたいです。

Ability to reduce file size when image is scanned via the Box mobile app
Ability to reduce file size when image is scanned via the Box mobile app.
- Currently, the size of PDF files obtained when we scan a document via the Box mobile app, is very large.
- Example: Box app on iPhone file size - 7.4MB; Apple's "import from iPhone" file size: -3.9MB. - Could we have the ability to resize / reduce quality of these files?13 votes -
List of current logged in users
It would be nice if Box could provide a list of current logged in users. If this already exists I am not aware of it. Please advise.

Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files
When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
(After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
(変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。

Ability to conduct e-discovery investigations without being noticed by the User
When investigating a lawsuit or security incident, we sometime want to do so without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.
In such case, Box admin login to the target account 'as user' from admin console. But under current specification, the target user can know this admin's activities in the 'Access Stats' and Activities in Box UI.
So I want Box to enhance the function that admin or co-admin can login as user and investigate without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.

To enhance trash for users who had an access to contents to be able to see them in it
Currently, only owner of deleted content or user who deletes content can see them in Trash. It would be helpful if deleted contents in trash can be seen by all of users who had collaborator permissions (e.g. above previewer).
This is needed because when a user deletes contents (accidentally), the "non-owner" collaborators have a difficulty of knowing what happens on contents. For some enterprises, content owner is typically a service account so every time this happens we need to find the "culprit" or connect to IT who can access as owner, which is very painful.2 votes -
Invited folders cannot be consolidated by collaborator
I am invited to view individual accounts by an outside company. I would like to be able to move these folders into a “company A” folder so that they are not at the top level of my box drive.
