  1. External User Box Access Workflow

    We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"

    Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.

    There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.

  3. Enable Sharing Box Automate Workflows with User Groups

    Currently, Box Automate workflows can be shared with individual users. We would like to request an enhancement that enables workflows to be shared with user groups.
    This feature would reduce reliance on specific individuals and support team-based workflow management. In situations where the workflow owner leaves the company, changes roles, or becomes unavailable, other members of the group could continue to manage and maintain the workflow without disruption. This would improve operational continuity and reduce administrative overhead.

  4. Support same user account (E-Mail) across multiple sandboxes

    We use multiple sandboxes for testing varying functionality across business units and this requires a new "functional" mail account to be setup for each (which is a time consuming process). We need to be able to use the same e-mail (user account) across all of our sandboxes.

  5. [Fix] Poor support for moving drive and recognizing existing content

    I had to disconnect a drive and Box sync broke and has been a massive pain to get working again. When the drive was reconnected, Box couldn't reuse the old folder, and once it started a new folder, I didn't appear to have the option to change it.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Box sync so I could point it at the original directory it used with all the files still in place. It did not recognize any of the files. Instead, it renamed all the folders, downloaded duplicates of everything, and then ran out of space on my cloud storage…

  6. Add User Groups as viewer to an Admin report

    When generating a report (such as collaborations report), I'd like to be able to add a user group as viewer in addition to being able to add a user account. We have decentralized content management, and doing so would allow be to schedule a monthly collaborations report shared to a user group with the content admins. I can't do so for a user, as there is a risk the users changes role and would not anymore be authorized to access the report.

  7. Reflect the content requested by Box AI in the details column of the user activity report

    When using Box AI multiple times at the same time, the current report does not allow us to check the details of which request was made in the log.
    Therefore, we would like the function to be improved so that the details requested by Box AI are reflected in the details column.

    <Box AIで要求した内容をユーザーアクティビティレポートの詳細欄に反映する>
    同時刻に複数のBox AIを使用している場合、現状のレポートではどの要求をした際のログなのか詳細の確認が取れません。
    そのため、詳細欄にBox AIで要求した内容が反映されるように機能を改善してほしいです。

    Currently only Managed Users can be added to Groups in Box.

  9. About modifying storage values in the User Details report

    <About modifying storage values in the User Details report>
    Just like the storage value of Insights in the Admin console has been corrected, we request that the user details report will also be corrected to display more correct values.
    Due to the UI change, the Insights storage in the management console now displays a relatively correct value, but the user details report has not been corrected and is now showing a lower value.
    As a result, there is a difference between the storage value in Insights and the total storage value output in the user details report.

    <ユーザーの詳細レポートのストレージの値の修正について>
    管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージ値の修正がされたように、ユーザー詳細レポートもより正しい値が表示されるよう修正をお願いします。
    UI変更に伴い管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージは比較的正しい値が表示されるようになったが、ユーザーの詳細レポートでは修正されておらず少なく表示されています。…

    This feature is not currently planned, but it is a second-priority item for our team. A related feature—the ability to open a file in Box Drive from the web app—is on our roadmap and will be an initial step toward supporting this request. We will keep you posted on updates; please continue upvoting this request, as it helps us prioritize improvements. Thanks for your collaboration.

  11. Install Box Sync on PC using existing Box Sync folder

    You have a published workaround here:

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043691074-Box-Sync-Displays-Message-Select-Another-Folder-Location-

    This only describes how to download the Box Sync data all over again. I do not have high-speed internet, so this would take weeks to do.

    All I did was change out my storage drive. All of the Box Sync data was copied exactly, so all 50GB of data is still there. I just need to have it see that the files in the current folder are the same (you can use the filename, location, and file size). Syncing the file's timestamp with my PC would be a nice feature, as my PC…

  12. Ability for users to edit user name with special characters

    Admins can update user names with the following characters: ! $ % ^ & = . + { } : ; / ? > < | ~ _ `. But users can't modify their name with those characters on the Profile screen of the user's individual Account Settings.

  13. Display of account name when approval task or Box Relay creator user is deleted

    After an account is deleted, the user who created an approval task is displayed as "Previous Collaborator," making it impossible to verify the approval status at that time. Please change this so that the username from that time continues to be displayed even after the account is deleted.

  14. Add Annotation and Task details to User Activity Report

    Currently the UAT does not include details about the actual text a user entered into a task or annotation (but does for comments). As the system allows those fields to be edited and/or deleted we must also now show those details so we know what was edited or deleted.

  15. Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report

    It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".

    Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
    The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.

    If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it…

  17. Ability to provision user zone through IDP

    Currently we have a number of different zones that we have for our users. When users come into the company we have to manually update those zones to ensure that data resides in their countries. We would like to provision this with our IDP so that when a user comes onboard, we can send the zone along with the task to create the user and remove the manual task. We currently add to groups and set a number of other things but zone is not one that is available.

  18. Add information about deleting tasks to the User Activity Report

    If a task is accidentally deleted, the current User Activity Report can't see who deleted what task and when.
    There is currently no way to check if the deleted task was really unnecessary.
    We would like to see more items related to the task function in the User Activity Report so that administrators can see who deleted what tasks and when.

    【タスクの削除に関する情報をユーザーアクティビティレポートに追加する】

    タスクが誤って削除された場合、現在のアクティビティレポートでは、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除してしまったか確認できない。
    削除されたタスクが本当に不要なものであったか、現状では確認する術がないため、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除したか、管理者が確認できるよう、
    アクティビティレポートのタスク機能に関する項目を増やして欲しい。

  19. Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file

    Hi,

    i discribe a situation:
    The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
    Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
    Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
    Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the…

  20. Custom Shared Link Control by User Type

    Admin ability to set global shared link settings by user type - such as no ability for a managed user to set a shared link to "anyone with the link" -- but admins and/or co-admins could set a shared link to be public (in the case of surfacing documentation externally). This could look like, under "Default access for shared links" setting in Admin Console, a new dropdown to allow for an override for co-admins or above, OR the ability to add specific users to an allowlist.
