  1. Allow to freeze file and folders

    Allow to freeze file and folders, which will not allow any collaborators including the owner to perform any changes to files and folders. Example: prevent creating new versions of the files, prevent moving content to trash, prevent change of metadata etc. Basically complete lock, which can only be unlocked at the end of a retention period. The purpose is to manage enterprise records. May be some sort of retention policy that lets us do the above. The current lock feature does not provide the level of freeze we are looking for.

  2. Folder colors

    In Box it is not very easy to see what foders are shared externally. There are small globe icons on the collaborators, but if that list is too long, the external collaborator might not show up.

    Apart from that: the list of collaborators is not visible in Box Drive.

    Box should introduce a new Folder type (different color, different icon) to show that information in this folder is shared with external collaborators. This functionality should be available across all clients (Web, Drive, Mobile).

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  3. Upload multiple folders using Upload button

    I am trying to migrate data from my desktop to Box. I am able to upload multiple files at the same time but not multiple folders.

    I would like to place a feature request for “upload multiple folder using “upload” button on Box web app.

  4. ADD LOCKED FOLDERS LIST IN THE USER ACTIVITY REPORT

    Currently we have no way to look up which holders are locked via FolderLockAPI.
    To avoid any trouble not knowing who has been locked,
    we'd like to request to add the locked folders list in the user activity report.

    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockされているフォルダの一覧をレポートに出したい:
    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockしたフォルダーについて、
    どのフォルダーがロックされているかがわからなくなるなどのトラブルを防ぐために、
    現時点でロックされているフォルダの一覧をアクティビティレポートに出力したい。

  5. Improvements should be made so that folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled can be selected when selecting folders in Box Relay.

    When selecting folders in Box Relay, folders below the folders for which CAN VIEW PATH is enabled cannot be selected.
    The only current workaround is to disable CAN VIEW PATH or search for lower level folders in the folder search, which is inconvenient because many similar folders are picked up and it is necessary to open each folder one by one, so we would like to see an improvement so that lower level folders can be selected even from folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled.

    <CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダをBox Relayのフォルダを選択する際に選択できるように改善してほしい>
    Box Relayのフォルダを選択する際CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダの下層のフォルダが選択できません。
    現在の回避策としてはCAN VIEW PATHを無効化するかフォルダ検索で下層のフォルダを検索するしかなく、類似するフォルダが多数ピックアップされてしまい、一個一個フォルダを開く必要があり不便な状態のため、CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダからも下層のフォルダを選択できるよう改善してほしいです。

  6. Enable download of watermarked file via public shared link.

    We want to be able to distribute watermarked files via public shared link. It's confusing for end users, as well, since the Shared Link settings for allow download is not grayed out when the file is "watermarked".

    We will review this request once we see additional use cases and customer demand.

  7. Automatic deletion of Teams linked folders

    I would like to see a specification that when Teams V2 linkage is done, the folders are automatically deleted along with the team deletion, or all access rights are removed, except for certain accounts.

  8. Binding existing files/folders to a virtual folder for sharing

    Situation
    I've been working on several projects for a client, with a main folder for each project containing the project files, organised in sub folders. My client asked me if it was possible to point him to one folder that contained the neccessary files from each project for simplified access, without having to send him multiple sharing links to each folder instead.

    Approach
    Normally I would set up that folder on my local computer, put in all the necessary files and upload it, providing a sharing link to my client.

    Suggestion
    What if it was possible to bypass this…

  9. Box drive hide folders

    With Box Drive ALL my folders are displayed on my desktop. While I like having access to them all without having to sync them, I would like a feature which would allow me to hide the folders I am not currently using. The Box Sync environment, which only showed those folders that I was currently working in (and had synced), was a much more efficient solution.

  10. Dashboard for end users

    Create an end-user accessible dashboard where users can see the status of their content and shared links. For example, they can see a running list of their shared links and be able to un-share these links via the dashboard; see a running list of externally shared content with external collaborators to see if they still need to be shared externally. In addition, the dashboard should include a high-level overview of these shared folders/files so they user can classify content from one place instead of by individual files/folders. The goal: give end users a better way to classify…

  11. Make setting a password for shared links mandatory.

    Currently setting password for shared links is not mandatory. We would like to have the ability to set a global control that requires all public/open ('people with the link') links to be password-protected.

  12. Provide a way to remove duplicate files throughout a folder and all sub folders

    I have a user who copied all the content in multiple folders some how and created duplicate files everywhere in the folder structure. All the duplicate files had a (1) at the end but also had a few files with (email address) at the end as well. Not sure why the (email address) showed up at the end, over the (1).

    Never the less, I need a way as an admin or even a user to search for all duplicate files, within a folder/sub folders, and allow me to find all files with *(1) and provide me the list…

  13. Allow Box Drive Folders to be added to Windows Library

    My company has a lot of folders on Box, but only a few are relevant to what I do. In order to facilitate quicker access to the folders I use I created a Windows Library (Windows 10) and attempted to add the Box Drive folders I use to the Windows Library. But my attempts to do this resulted in Windows displaying a message "This folder can't be included because it is on a removable device" even though the Box Folder is on my Computer's C Drive. This capability works fine with Box Sync, but not Box Drive. Please make it…

  15. Check if a shared link exists in BoxDrive

    On BoxDrive, it is not possible to tell in which folder the shared link has been issued.
    I wish there was a way to check if a shared link has already been issued on BoxDrive.

    -in Japanese-
    BoxDrive上では、どのフォルダで共有リンクが発行されているか分からない。BoxDrive上でも共有リンクがすでに発行されているか確認できるようにしてほしい。

  16. Make Shared link pages/views customizable

    We would love to be able to adjust the view of certain links that are being shared out to users who don't have a Box account. Make the banner customizable so we can direct them more appropriately, and allow the buttons to be altered such that the login and sign up buttons may be hidden, and only the download button remaining in view.

  18. Please improve how admins can build and share folders

    As a new Box admin provisioning our environment I would love to see an improvement on how admins can create and assign access to folders. Simply creating an admin tab where the admin can view all folders in the environment and create, delete, and assign access to would be perfect.

  20. When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash.

    When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash. Here is the behavior we noticed: a. We enable "Restrict content creation" in Enterprise Settings. b. User who is not the owner of the folder deletes files. -> The files will be shown in Trash. c. The same user deletes the folder which the files above existed in. d. The files which were deleted in process "a" are no longer shown in trash, making users unable to restore them, unless they restore the folder itself. e. However, the files…
