Expand number of folders displayed in folder hierarchy
Our team works in incredibly deep folder structures and would appreciate the opportunity to view all subfolders in the folder hierarchy to more easily navigate through our folder structure. For example, if someone shares a file with me and it's in the "trailers" folder, it's very difficult for me to tell which project this is associated with unless I navigate many levels up in the folder structure to see a folder with the project name. Ideally, we would be able to see as many folders as can fit in the window space. Our team uses the Box web app and is not interested in leveraging Box Drive.

Python in Excel while stored on Box
I would like to be able to use Microsoft Excel's new implementation of Python.
I have been told that Python in Excel can only be used on content stored in "secure container[s] on the Microsoft Cloud", such as OneDrive, Azure, Sharepoint, and other Microsoft proprietary resources.
Can Box work with Microsoft to support this feature?

access Deny Authority
The permissions of the parent folder are inherited by the subordinate folder, but I want to be able to add a setting to deny access only to specific users or groups in the subordinate folder. Or I want to be able to set the permission settings so that they are not inherited by subordinates. This is a function that can be realized with existing file servers.
上位フォルダの権限が下位フォルダへ継承されますが、下位フォルダにおいて、特定のユーザーやグループに対してのみアクセス拒否する設定を追加できるようにしたい。もしくは権限設定を下位に継承しないようにする設定ができるようにしたい。既存のファイルサーバーでは実現できている機能

More items at a time on a file View in Box Apps
Allow for more items on a dashboard view - up to 250 per page or a continuously loading selection as I scroll down would be ideal.

Adding Font Colors
Please add gray as a font color option in Box Hubs, similar to Box Notes.
The gray color is very useful for representing supplemental information.2 votes -
AI query results resources
One enhancement requested by a customer is within the Box AI query window. The documents from which information is pulled be linked within the response alongside the relevant text and at the end of the response (image 1), rather than be listed only at the end of the response (image 2).

Large Folder Operations dashboard with status, ETA, rollback, and reporting
Requesting a centralized Large Folder Operations Dashboard in the Box Admin Console or via API to improve visibility and control over major content transfers.
During a large folder ownership change, an unexpected behavior occurred where ownership polling and job sequencing did not reflect the actual state of completion. This led to a move propagating recursively from an empty child folder to an inherited, multi-million-object parent folder.
A built-in dashboard would provide transparency into large operations and prevent this class of issue from occurring silently.
Proposed Capabilities
-Status Tracking — show all active or queued large folder transfers (ownership, move, or copy) across the enterprise.
-Estimated Time Remaining (ETA) — progress percentage and item counts to completion.
-Rollback / Reverse Option — controlled, reversible transfer to restore ownership or hierarchy state if initiated in error.
-Reporting & Audit — exportable logs of who initiated the transfer, when, and what content was affected (including item counts and folder IDs).
-Workaround report - For parent folders with lots of subfolders and objects at the transferred level, a Google Sheet or CSV export with the Box file name, Box path (and recursive level), as well as the Box URL would be helpful to send to stakeholders to utilize to maintain business as usual by navigating to the Box link directly.
-Workaround permissions - A temporary Box Group can add the users at the parent level and be added to the destination owner's folder during the transfer to maintain permissions as an option before the transfer.
Value
-Prevents cascading, unintended ownership changes on large hierarchies.
-Gives admins real-time insight into progress and impact of long-running operations.
-Enables proactive response in case of accidental or malicious large-scale content moves.
-Reduces reliance on Support escalation for backend job status checks.
Example Use Case
A content move initiated on a single folder propagated recursively to millions of objects due to inherited permissions and ownership promotion. A dashboard with visibility and rollback would have allowed early detection and controlled recovery without requiring Support intervention.

Add description field to defaul group view
I would like an more user friendly way to determine the identity of a synced group from Entra. I am wary of renaming them, as my guess is they are being matched with the Entra directory using the value in name field. I have no easy way of choosing a group to work on without opening them from the top until I see the added info in the description column. It would be nice to see that on the default list view.

Box Sign change Current Date timezone to PT upon conversion vs. UTC timezone for signatures
Hi,
we use macro fields (current date) in some of our word files.
If we want to have this signed, it can happen that the date in the document changes under box sign. The reason is that the conversion of the file happens on servers that use PT as a time zone (we have MEZ) .
The signatures themselves receive UTC as the time zone.
Can this be standardized and perhaps ideally adapted to the transmitter's box zone?1 vote -

Please remove the feature that hiding files/folders in Box Drive.
I work at Box's help desk. Since most users aren't fully proficient with Box, hiding files/folders causes confusion.
1 vote -
Please make it possible to choose both .msi and .exe installers for Box Drive.
The reason is that administrator privileges are required during uninstallation, and end users cannot reinstall Box Drive when issues occur.

We would like to customize and set the default values for digital watermarks.
Currently, in the admin console, you can only choose to enable or disable the digital watermark feature, and customization has to be done by users for each file or folder.
If we could set a predetermined digital watermark for the organization, it would be convenient as users wouldn't have to spend time on it, and administrators wouldn't need to check for compliance with the rules.
We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows administrators to customize the default values for digital watermarks.〈電子すかしのデフォルト値をカスタマイズして設定したい〉
現在、管理コンソールでは電子すかしの機能を有効にするか無効にするかの選択のみで、電子すかしのカスタマイズ機能はファイルやフォルダごとにそれぞれユーザーが設定する必要があります。
組織として決まった電子すかしを設定できたら、ユーザーが手間をかけることなく、管理者もルールに準拠しているか確認する必要がないので便利です。
管理者が電子すかしのデフォルト値をカスタマイズできる機能を実装してほしいです。9 votes -

File Status now showing in Windows File Explorer
The problem shows up after installing the box app on my Windows pc. In my Windows file explorer, I cannot see the status of my files. I cannot know if the document is already available or needs to be downloaded first before use. And I cannot clear local downloaded file caches to release some space. How can I know the file status?

Make Banner Icon Editable within Box Hubs
There is a small square icon that appears in the banner at the top of Box Hubs, this is the same icon shown on the list view before entering the Hub itself. The customer would like to be able to edit this icon, and remove it. Visually, its redundant and takes up space, and they don't have a good image to input into that space, for each specific hub. They use the banner for this purpose.

Restricted export of content insight reports by non-administrative users.
There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594
However, anyone who owns a folder called "Box Reports" can export Content Insights Reports, even if they don't have admin permissions.＜request＞
As stated in the article, restrict non-admin users from exporting Content Insights reports.
*Do not make an exception for the owner of the "Box Reports" folder
We do not want users without administrative privileges to be able to export this report, as this would reduce the chances of a malicious user maliciously exporting the report to near zero.日本語：
