UI improvements - Download Button
received multiple feedback from users, where their client missing out the button on how to download, ended up they trying to sign up, which not ideal in term of fast pace workflow
should be making the Download button bigger and colored, so more stands out,
currently the button a bit hard to notice, but instead the Log In and Sign up superseded the overall view1 vote -
Report changes in the date of automatic deletion of folders
Operations that set an auto-delete date for a folder will appear in the report, but operations that changed the auto-delete date is not.
If the date is changed by someone to an earlier date than the originally set deletion date, the folder may be deleted without others being aware of the change in the deletion date.
In that case, you need to check the change history in the report to know which user made the change.
However, we cannot know this unless the change in the automatic deletion date is output to the report.2 votes -
Remove the user account assigned to Task from Relay Workflow Template when publishing it
When we create the workflow template to publish it company-wide from the existing workflow, the user account assigned to the task defined in the workflow are maintained in the template.
In the current specification of Box Relay, the workflow invites the task assignee if he/she doesn't have access to the contents related to the task.
Template is intended to be used by company-wide Box user, so if the task assignee is remained in the template and if the template user doesn't remove it when creating workflow from template, this original task assignee will be invited and given access.
This leads information leakage..
So we request Box to fix this. Concretely, when user creates template from existing workflow, Box should remove the original task assignee from template.

Increase capacity of the recycle bin to be unlimited.
I want the capacity of the recycle bin to be unlimited.
If the number of items in the recycle bin exceeds a certain value,
the page will not be displayed properly as a "scale limit".I've heard that adding "?usemarker=true" to the end of the URL of the recycle bin page makes it accessible.
However, there are some restrictions on the operation, and I would like to see the limit raised or made unlimited.ごみ箱の容量を無制限にしてほしい
ごみ箱内のアイテム数が一定値を超えると「規模の限界」としてページが正常に表示されない仕様かと思います。
ごみ箱ページのURLの最後に「?usemarker=true」を追加することでアクセスが可能になるということですが、
操作に制限があることもあり、この限界ラインを上げる/無制限にするといった改修を希望します。11 votes -
Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files
Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.
Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file to be displayed as plain text. It would be a safe enough assumption to guess that the files are encoded with UTF8.
I know similar reasonable suggestions to merely add more supported extensions (e.g., .log) have been posted before and ignored. I'm making a broader request here because this is something I run into every day.

When an email address is marked as undeliverable, show that status in the console
When your system marks an email address as undeliverable, there's currently no way to see that in the admin console. The Resend Invite button is available but the invite will never be sent because you're suppressing the address.
In an ideal world, we'd be able to see that and toggle the status, but even if we could just see the status it would save time.

Permission expansion - excluding folder management
I’d love a “File manager” permission that doesn’t include Folder management capabilities.
We have a large folder structure that I need to allow our users to have Editor permissions to for them to properly do their job. My issue is that it is CRITICAL that the folder structure doesn't change.2 votes -
Universal and Individual Upload Pause and Throttle
Problem: I'm uploading a lot of relatively large files. The urgency for these is low, but it will take a long time to upload. During this time, I have smaller high priority files to send to a client for approval. However, uploading these smaller, but more important files using a different service is extremely slow. A 30 second upload becomes a 10-minute upload.
Solution: Have individualized pause buttons on each uploading item AS WELL AS a universal pause on uploads. Also, a throttle to limit it from using all of the bandwidth would be nice, too. Please also make this functionality available when using the finder Box background app - perhaps available through the right click context menu where other box functions are. A toggle between "Pause uploads" and "Resume uploads". Maybe with a little icon to indicate whether it's currently paused or active.

Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain
Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain.
We have a need to keep folder collaboration available to only a specific group of internal users but we would like to be able to have the ability to share files or folders with external collaborators in specific domains. Almost like another level of the "Invited People" type of link. Can this be considered as an enhancement?

Reporting on admin 'log in as' feature
For security reasons it would be useful for Box to be able to report on all admin activity, in particular when admins use the 'log in as' feature to view a user's files, so we can see a list of which users 'logged in as' which users and when, to ensure the feature is being used appropriately.

Move the location of Welcome to Box pop up
When I set the custom terms of service and a new user logs into Box for the first time, it is hidden by the "Welcome to Box" pop up. Could you please move the location of either one so that the new user can see the custom terms of service please?

Search Engine should run on the displayed dates rather than the API dates
Box's search queries do not go off of the same date displayed to end users in the WebApp. The Modified Date seen in the WebApp is different than the API field “modified_at” that the search tool goes off of. From a user’s viewpoint, the date is the date, so using two separate date fields for the same product is confusing to end users. This is a request to ensure both of these fields align.

Review Custom Terms of Service after accepting them
As a user that was invited to a folder but had to agree to a Custom Terms of Service before being allowed in, I would like to be able to access those Custom Terms of Service for reference after accepting them.
I know there's an option to download them at the time of accepting, but if I lose that copy...
Also, this would just be more convenient.1 vote -
Add iOS Shortcuts integration
Simply add iOS shortcuts integration like your competitor. Save to box, append to file in box function ecc would be a great feature. The only reason that I’m not using your great service is the missing of this integration.

Add configuration option to hide the right-hand sidebar automatically
When a file is opened, the right-hand sidebar is open by default. My preference is to have it closed, so I must close it each time. Please add a configuration option that would allow for users to set that sidebar closed at startup by default.
37 votesThank 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!

Export all data belonging to a Custodian on Legal Hold
There is currently no way through Box to export all of a user's data for offline preservation and legal review. This workflow is necessary for the EDRM model, as the files may still be altered while under Legal Hold.

Box for Outlook (app) - Insert link at character
The Box for Outlook app (deployed through Microsoft 365 admin centre - not as part of Box for Office), inserts links as an image and file name at the bottom of the email that is being created.
This is an awful user experience for recipients. It would be better to insert links in the same way as the Box for Office Outlook add-in works. This allows putting a link at the character point.

Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously
Enable ability to edit Google Docs, Sheets, Slides via Box integration without requiring login aka anonymously.
Even when the link is configured to "people with the link can edit," external collaborators are still required to log into both Box and Google Workspace in order to edit Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides via the Box integration, which is way too much friction and strongly discourages use.
I strongly recommend that we offer optionality. While highly security conscious departments (e.g. IT, InfoSec, HR, legal, finance) might require an audit history with details about who edited content, which requires people to login; conversely, other departments (e.g. PR, sales, diversity and inclusion, marketing) don't care about this as much, and the experience for these departments is eroded by these login requirements.
