LocalSystem sees current user's Proxy settings during automatic Box Tools update
Box Tools Automatic Updates:"Box Edit Upgrade Service", please make sure that LocalSystem refers to the current user's Proxy settings as well as Box Drive automatic update.
If the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" is LocalSystem, the automatic update of Box Tools will fail. By changing the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" from LocalSystem to the current user, communication via Proxy will be possible and the update will be successful. Also, by setting the Proxy setting equivalent to the current user for LocalSystem with the following command, Box Tools will be updated automatically.
bitsadmin /Util /SetIEProxy LocalSystem Manual_Proxy <Server name>:<Port number>
With the above settings, services running on all other Local Systems also communicate via Proxy, which affects other systems and is not an appropriate measure.

Template for publishing to specific groups in Box Relay
The only templates in Relay are company templates and My Templates.
Our company has templates that we want to publish for each group, so we would like you to provide the ability to publish templates to groups.

Default sort by date to descending (most recent first)
The default sort order is Alphabetical by folder name. When I sort by Updated date, it defaults to ascending -- oldest items first. I'm most often looking for something in a folder that was updated very recently; I would prefer that the default for sorting by Updated date be descending -- newest items first.

Sharing File paths with others in my organization on box drive
Before my company switched to box we had a mac server. When directing people to files on this server we used a utility called PathSnagger where it copied the file path which you could then email to someone and it would become a clickable hyperlink. When you click it, it took you directly to that location on the server. It was great to be able to do this.
With box, we cannot do that any longer with this utility because it copies the fully qualified path to your local computer. file:///Users/[username]/Library/CloudStorage/Box/[folder name]/[file or folder name] and since the recipient is on their own computer, the path breaks.
We also all are using box drive to work locally rather than in a browser.
I know we can copy or email a shared link to people, but that takes you to view it in a browser.
What would be AMAZING if at all possible, would be for box to either be able to detect if a user has box drive installed and when they click the shared link, it instinctively knew you had it installed and throw a popup that says, "Would you like to open this link in box drive on your computer?" (or something similar) or if the browser view could identify that the viewer has box drive installed and include a button in the browser view that says something along the lines of "reveal in box drive"
I know that Zoom can do something like this. when you click a zoom link to join a meeting, it takes you to your browser and shows a popup "Do you want to allow this page to open “zoom.us.app”?" and you can click Allow and it launches zoom.

Password Mail
When we share the open link with password, currently we need to create the new email and send the password separately.
If we have the Email Icon to send password, we can work this on only Box.

Metadata: enable cascading Metadata for custom Metadata
I enabled Cascading Metadata, but can only use existing Metadata Templates. When I try to use custom Metadata that is not an existing template, I get error: "Cascade policy cannot be applied to custom metadata at this time."

I would like to see BoxWeb implement a function to sort files by extension.
The current BoxWeb does not allow sorting by file extension.
However, in some fields, a large number of photos and videos are often taken for measurement and development work, and many types of files are miscellaneously stored in a single folder.For example, when searching for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...) For example, if you are looking for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...), you can search for them by file name, but you may also want to check them by file extension.
We currently use a method of dividing files into categories by file type, such as blocks of image files, blocks of video files, blocks of Excel files, etc., and finding the file you are looking for in each category.
However, the current specification of Box does not allow sorting and displaying by file extension, so it cannot support the need to sort files roughly by file type.Therefore, I would like to be able to sort files by file extension.

現在のBoxWebでは拡張子による並べ替えができません。
しかし、ある分野におきましては、計測・開発業務などで大量の写真や動画を撮影することが多く、一つのフォルダの中に多くの種類のファイルが雑多に入っています。例えば画像ファイル(.png/.jpg/etc...)を探す場合、ファイル名などを使って探すのも一つの方法ですが、拡張子ごとにまとめての確認を行いたい場合もございます。
ファイルの種類でカテゴリごとに分割し、画像ファイルのブロック、動画ファイルのブロック、Excelファイルのブロックなど、ファイルの種別単位に分かれた中から目当てのファイルを見つけるという方法を現在は使用しております。
しかし、現状のBoxの仕様では拡張子毎の並べ替え表示が出来ないため、ファイルの種類で大まかにファイルを仕分けしたいニーズに対応できません。そのため、拡張子毎のファイルの並べ替えができるようにしていただきたいです。

Email Notification for specific documents or tags
In the current version of the Box product, there is no feature available to notify a user or a user group for that matter, of any uploads of specific file types or specific tags on files.
We would like for our users to be able to be notified of uploads of specific files in a given folder instead of being inundated with notification emails for every upload done in a folder.

Add total number of pages in certificates of completion
Only the page on which the signature field is located is indicated in the certificate of completion. Adding the total number of pages of the signed document in the certificate of completion would be a very valuable piece of information that would help provide evidence that the signer accessed/had access to the complete document

Customizable reminders
Depending on the workflow, the pace at which a process needs to follow through might differ greatly. It would be most useful to be able to determine the interval between 2 reminders, and when the first reminder gets sent

Slow video preview
Video files take way too long until the preview starts. Shuttling is not possible until completely buffered.
To solve this, the preview could be converted in the background into a more web friendly file that starts immediately and allows shuttling. As offered by many other services.

Ability to customize the display of the root folder of [Box for Salesforce]
About the display of the root folder of [Box for Salesforce]
I would like to prevent the root folder of [Box for Salesforce] from being shown when I log in to [Box Web].
The reason is that I want to refer to documents attached in [Salesforce] only in the [Salesforce] screen.
When logging in to [Box Web], we would like to tighten the access control of documents by making it impossible to operate the target documents from [Box Web].4 votes -
Shield Shared Links: Password Requirement
Passwords for public links are wonderful, however, the capability to enforce all links (even those with internal or collaborator scope) would be beneficial for users and content security. If this password requirement could be tied to classifications as an access policy, that would make it increasingly difficult for negligent or malicious actions on Box content. Currently, we can only decrease the scope available for shared links, but by requiring a password, there will be additional adoption for Box and Shield, especially within highly regulated industries that require external or public distribution of content.

Updates on the lock functionality after Save as
I want the lock to come off properly after Save As.(BoxDrive)
If you save a file to a folder in Box Drive using "Save As" in the Office app and then close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
If I close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
The lock is not automatically removed when the application is closed.After saving the file, other users are not able to edit the file, and this is interfering with my work. I would like to see this fixed.

Workflow approval tasks: More than one must approve and less than all may approve a workflow approval task.
Today, if I want to invite 3 people to approve a task, but I only need 2/3 to approve it, then this is not an option. Similarly, if I want to invite 10 people to approve a task, but I only need 6/10 to approve it, then this is not an option.
I only have the option for one person to approve it or for everybody to approve it.
