1. Provide read-only scope for user information

   I'd like to provide our central identity management team a way to tell whether or not a given Box user has a > 0 byte usage before they delete the user's account (for example, as someone leaves our organization). I'd like to give them read-only API access to https://api.box.com/2.0/users, without giving them any additional access. Support tells me that this isn't currently possible. It'd be nice if it was--this could be useful for a number of other uses, too, such as reporting.

   Thanks for the suggestion! Providing a read-only scope for Users via API is not currently on the roadmap, but we’ll update this request if that changes.

2. Make all notifications visible at-a-glance again. This functionality was just removed.

   As of today, employees in our company are noticing that the full Notifications page is no longer available in Box Web, and notifications have been moved to a small drop-down menu in the corner. A chat with a member of Box support confirmed that this is a product-wide change.

   The problem with this drop-down menu is that comments cannot be read in full anymore, as they are being truncated to fit in the small pane.

   Can either 1) the full Notifications page be made available again for users/organizations who wish to keep it, or 2) the new drop-down menu have a control to expand it and show notifications in full?

3. Request for improvement of behavior when a workflow creator designates (suggests) an external user as the person to be notified or in charge

   Currently, the following conditions must be met in order for the workflow creator to designate (suggest) external users as the recipients of workflow notifications or task assignments.
   1.External user account already exists
   2.Automatic acceptance of external user invitations enabled
   3.Workflow creator invites external users while 1 and 2 are satisfied

   In addition, if the following settings are made on the tenant side, even if the external user has enabled auto-acceptance, the auto-acceptance process will not be performed unless the tenant side setting requirements are met, After the external user satisfies the tenant's requirements, the workflow creator must invite the external user again (either by removing the user from the folder to which the user was invited and then inviting the user again, or by inviting the user to another folder) to pass the auto-accept process.

   ・Require strong passwords for external collaborators
   ・Request 2-step verification from external collaborators
   ・Customize Terms of Service > Enable for External Users

   However, it is too impractical as a workaround in cases where a user cannot be re-invited due to lack of invitation privileges, or to remove the privileges of a user who has already been collaborated with.
   We would appreciate it if you could improve this so that if the tenant's configuration requirements are met, it can be specified (suggested) without re-inviting.

   ＜ワークフロー作成者が外部ユーザーをワークフローの通知先やタスクの担当者として指定（サジェスト）する際の動作の改善依頼＞

   現状ワークフロー作成者が外部ユーザーをワークフローの通知先やタスクの担当者として指定（サジェスト）するには以下の条件を満たしている必要があります。
   1.外部ユーザーのアカウントが既に存在
   2.外部ユーザーの招待の自動承諾が有効
   3.1, 2 が満たされている状態でワークフロー作成者が外部ユーザーを招待

   さらにテナント側で以下の設定をしている場合は、外部ユーザーが自動承諾を有効にしていても、テナント側の設定要件を満たさないと自動承諾処理がされないような動作になっており、外部ユーザーがテナント側の設定要件を満たした後、ワークフロー作成者が再度外部ユーザーを招待（一旦招待したフォルダから削除して再度招待、または他のフォルダに招待）して、自動承諾処理を通す必要があります。
   ・外部コラボレータに強力なパスワードを要求する
   ・外部コラボレータに2段階認証を要求する
   ・サービス利用規約のカスタマイズ＞外部ユーザーに対して有効にする

   しかし、招待権限がなく再招待できない場合や、すでにコラボレーションされているユーザーの権限を削除するという操作は回避策としてあまりに非現実的であるため、テナント側の設定要件を満たした場合には再招待をせずに指定（サジェスト）できるように改善していただきたく存じます。

4. Password protected folders - systems allows setting password not meeting log-in criteria

   When I set shared link with customer, I generate password for him and send it to him so he can access the folder. System allows me to create password which is not accepted by the system when the customer wants to sign in! That is very embarrasing.
   For example today I created shared folder, made a password (long enough, but containg only one number) and sent it to the customer to cooperate. System allowed me to set the password, but when the customer wanted to access the folder, he had to use the password but it was not accepted because system told him that the password must contain at least 2 number. So I had to change the password adding another number.
   It would be great if the system would check the password criteria also during setting one.

5. File size upload limit - Option to choose any file size from 1MB - 150GB

   I am suggesting a file size upload limitation setting to be lower than the existing 2GB.

   The reason why is because some companies who are hyper sensitive to malware and virus issues want the ability to deep scan EVERY file uploaded into Box. Currently, deep scan is only able to scan files that are less than 200MB in size. This is a gap that can be solved by reducing the maximum file upload size into Box to 200MB.

   While this greatly restricts the size of files being uploaded into Box, it gives the customer an option to choose one over the other. Reputation scan works for files of any size but for those customers wanting to leverage deep scan, restricting the upload limit of 200MB assures all files will be scanned.

6. More granular setting options for users set to "Inactive" in the Admin Console

   We would like two sub options for accounts set to "Inactive" status in the Edit User Profile details (in addition to the existing Inactive setting behavior):

   Inactive sub-option 1: Enable a warning for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user owns. If another user is accessing a folder owned by the Inactive user, they should be informed that the content could be deleted with the deletion of the account, and that a copy should be taken quickly.

   Inactive sub-option 2: Enable a warning AND make content read-only for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user owns. This is the same as in (1.) above, but also, the content will only be read only for other users, forcing them to make copies before they can edit or make changes.

   This is a good use case, but other user statuses might partially solve some of these needs. Let us know in the comments if it does not.

7. Shield Requests

   Currently Box sheild has the capability to Scan only newly updated/created files or only if the existing file is modified. In simple terms the scan happens only for the newly created version of the files and not any existing files before Box shield is being implemented.

   Feature request:

   1. We need to have the option of Scanning all the files at rest & transit in Box irrespective of when it was created/ modified, etc so that it can detect any malware on already available files as well.

   2. Currently Box only encrypts the file with a red banner on top if malware is detected however we wanted to have an option to Block or quarantine the file in real time if a malware is detected while uploading/downloading a file or if its detected on already available files in Box.

8. Add a "View All Tasks" button to the left menu

   To view all tasks, you need to press the clipboard icon and then select "View All Tasks."
   It takes two clicks each time, which is very time-consuming.
   I would like you to add it to the left menu so that I can check all tasks with a single click.
   -in Japanese-
   すべてのタスクを確認するにはクリップボードアイコンを押してから“View All Tasks”を押す必要があります。毎回２クリック必要となるので非常に手間がかかっています。１回のクリックですべてのタスクを確認できるよう左メニューに追加してほしい。

9. Native Finder-search (MacOS) is mandatory

   from your own web-page:
   https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695774-Mac-Specific-Known-Issues-for-Box-Drive

   "Mac search tools, such as Spotlight, Finder search, tags , do not return search results from Box Drive. Use Box Drive's search functionality instead."

   Box Drive is not fit for purpose, since it forces every single file-search in the user's home directory to be executed twice:

   • once in the home directory
   • then again using Box spotlight search
   • then put the 2 Finder windows side by side and do a manual inventory - unbelievable

   I frequently search my home directory. The poor search functionality is a major miss, affects my work badly

   Please look to Google Drive functionality which is far superior in every way that I can see

   If there's a fix on the cards within the next quarter I can overlook it. With immediate effect, I will be using Box as little as possible, and that might expand to never using Box other than when I absolutely have no option other than to browse, navigate, drag/drop a folder

10. Enhanced Granular Access Controls for External Collaborators

    Current Limitation:
    - Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
    - No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizations

    Proposed Feature:
    Implement a multi-tier external collaboration access control system that allows:
    1. Configurable access duration and permissions based on organizational relationship
    2. Ability to create exception groups with extended or permanent access
    3. Granular control to distinguish between:
    - Completely external users (standard 30-day restriction)
    - Trusted partners/affiliated organizations (customizable access duration)
    - Specific trusted domains with distinct access rules

    Use Case Example:
    An organization wants to:
    - Maintain strict 30-day access for unknown external collaborators
    - Provide longer/permanent access for trusted partners like subsidiary companies or closely affiliated academic/research institutions

    Business Value:
    - Increases flexibility in collaboration management
    - Reduces administrative overhead of manually managing access
    - Provides more nuanced security controls

    Current Limitation:
    - Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
    - No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizations

11. About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.

    About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.

    When pressing the Delete All button in the Recycle Bin, the deletion process fails and an error occurs.

    It was an answer to the problem that occurred in the following procedure from Box Support (ticket number: 2694308),

    1. Among the folders in the parent-child relationship, the child folder is deleted first.
    2. Delete parent folder after.
    3. Folders of parent-child relationship are displayed separately in the trash box as different folders.
    4. In this state, if [Delete All] is pressed, an error occurs.

    The Delete All button is not available until you delete the parent-child folders separately.

    However, it is easy to delete parent-child content at different timing
    To prevent an error from [Delete All], deleting content is difficult.
    Therefore, we would like you to change this specification.

12. Import data already on Box into DICOM viewer

    The only way to import images into the DICOM viewer right now is to upload directly using the import tool. This is problematic for two reasons: 1. large sets of data are handled better through Drive or Sync than a web interface and 2. data already in Box need to be downloaded and then imported (uploaded) again using the import tool, which is not practical when working with 10s-100s of GB of DICOM data. There should be a mechanism to import data already stored on Box into the DICOM viewer.

    This may be similar to a different issue: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114310-direct-dicom-upload-endpoint-desired

13. How to Replace SharePoint with Hubs

    🙏 Please help us deprecate Microsoft SharePoint by providing the following five features in Hubs:

    1. Pages within a Hub, preferably navigable in a horizontal structure at the top of the Hub (I believe this is already in the works - yay!)
    2. A no-code way to access/interact with a Viva Engage community that we have built to facilitate company-wide communication around many specific topics.
    3. Ability to place images directly on the Hub page and scale as desired, more like current capability in a Box Note (carousel view option)
    4. Ability to embed a video for viewing within the Hub
    5. Ability to assemble upcoming suggested events like webinars, meetings, conferences, etc. (carousel view option)

    Bonus Feature: some type of progress tracker visualization bar/ tool that provides at-a-glance project status awareness. Even if the object requires manual editing to instigate visual advancement, that's still very useful!

14. Include item type in user activity report

    When running an User Activity report, the Item ID is included, but not the Item Type. If you're trying to use the Activity report to perform some other action, you have to figure out what the item type is before you can perform the action. Additionally as ?good practice? you should make check both file & folder to ensure that you're not going against the wrong actual item if there's a item with the same type on the other endpoint.

    It would save some significant time on report consumer's side if the item type was included in the output report.

    If the item type was included we could
    1. Avoid need to find item type
    2. Ensure we will be acting against the correct item in case there is are items & files with the same ID.

    Thanks!

15. Share this link. Box.com's aggressive marketing misleads our customers.

    Hello Box!

    Unfortunately, we cannot fully use your product due to your company's aggressive marketing, which misleads external users.

    The problem lies in the implementation of sharing public links to files or folders with external users:

    1. When an external user opens the link, they see a pop-up message from Box in a green field (as shown in screenshot 1): "Log in to Box to save all files you view in your Recents and return to them at any".

    If our client does not click the small white cross on the right to close this message, they are redirected to the Box login page, even though they received this link to view a presentation or download it.

    This service message also hides the important "Download" button, which our client does not immediately see.

    This service message is clearly part of aggressive marketing to attract new users to the Box service at the expense of convenience and efficiency for its current clients.

    Solution we propose:
    Disable this message, as it misleads our clients and forces us to use Google Disk for file sharing, since it doesn't have such issues. For an ordinary person who is not familiar with Box, it's not obvious how to download a file.

    1. When a client who received the link still finds the "Download" button and clicks it, they are again misled if they are an inexperienced user: they are prompted to join or log in to Box (screenshot 2).

    Solution:
    Please remove these buttons and messages, leaving only the status that the file is downloading, as is done in Google Disk and Dropbox. Why this aggressive marketing that harms real clients?

    1. Please place the "Download" button in a visible spot next to each file when hovering over it. Currently, you need to click the "three dots — more options" icon for this (screenshot 3).

    We would be very grateful if you take our suggestions into account, as we are sure this will make your service more convenient and even more popular among a larger number of users. This way, we won't have to use Google Disk for these tasks, fearing to mislead our clients and constantly explaining how to download a file via the link.

    Thank you!

    Hello Box!

    Unfortunately, we cannot fully use your product due to your company's aggressive marketing, which misleads external users.

    The problem lies in the implementation of sharing public links to files or folders with external users:

    1. When an external user opens the link, they see a pop-up message from Box in a green field (as shown in screenshot 1): "Log in to Box to save all files you view in your Recents and return to them at any".

    If our client does not click the small white cross on the right to close this message, they are redirected to the… more

16. Preview support for PST and MBOX

    AS A Box User who accesses pst and mbox files in Box
    I WANT to be able to view those files in the Box Preview window
    SO THAT I do not have to download the files from Box and open them with another application.

    BACKGROUND:
    1. ATB Financial has completely migrated off of Microsoft Office to GSuite, using Box as our ECM solution.
    2. We support our Corporate Investigations, People and Culture, and Legal Services teams with e-discovery requests - specifically gmail and Google Chat exports from Google Vault.
    3. Google Vault exports gmail and Google Chat messages in either pst or mbox format (user choice).
    4. We share Google Vault exports with our stakeholders using Box. Stakeholders currently have to download the exports from Box and open them with other applications.
    5. We have migrated our customer records from Documentum to Box. Migrated customer records include pst files of email interactions with customers. These files must be downloaded from Box to be opened with another application - which is not a desirable user experience.

17. Create an outlook add-in (that works in both web / thick client versions / future Outlook One) for Box Notes

    Create an outlook add-in (that works in both web / thick client versions / future Outlook One) for Box Notes

    1.Grab the email addresses from participants list in the invite
    2. Create a box note with the original details from the meeting invite (description, date..etc)
    3. Fill the box note with a template for taking notes during the meeting
    4. Use AI to create a 'suggested' meeting agenda based on the data gathered
    5. Invite the users from the participants list as collaborators to the box note
    6. Add the box note link to the meeting invite at the bottom (similar to a zoom meeting insert)
    7. Added bonus: have a button in zoom to capture their AI's summary / action items back into the box note

18. Asynchronous API calls that return a JOB_ID rather than having the session cancelled after 60 seconds

    Currently API calls like the "Move Owned Items" almost always run longer than 60 seconds. As a result the session is killed by the Box infrastructure. The "Move Owned Items" task continues to run in basically an asynchronous background mode. But once this happens, the automation process has no way to check the status of the "Move Owned Items" task.

    A graceful way to handle this would be to return control back to the caller normally with a JOB_ID that can be used to call back to the "Move Owned Items" API call to check the status of the "background" asynchronous task.

    Currently there is no way to know if the task is finished and if it was successful or failed.

    This has been an issue now for about 2 years. Would be great if this could be resolved!

    Thanks!

19. I want to make it so that access statistics for operations by administrators are not left behind (stealth).

    【Current Specifications】

    1. Log in to the target user as a proxy and access the site.
       → The operation by the administrator is recorded as the access statistics of the proxy-logged user.

    2. Access from the "Contents" function of the management console.
       → The operation by the administrator is recorded as the access statistics of the administrator.

    【background】

    When a user deviates from the organization's rules (service rules, security rules, etc.) in the use of Box, a case is envisioned in which the administrator wants to view or download files owned by the user concerned as evidence of the deviation.
    If access statistics information is left, the user concerned will notice that the administrator has performed some operation, and there is a possibility of destruction of evidence of fraud, so we want to prevent this.

    (日本語)

    管理者による操作のアクセス統計情報を残さない（ステルス化）ようにしたい

    【現在の仕様】

    １．対象ユーザーに代理ログインしてアクセスする。
    → 管理者による操作は、代理ログインしたユーザーのアクセス統計情報として記録される。

    ２．管理コンソールの「コンテンツ」機能からアクセスする。
    → 管理者による操作は、管理者のアクセス統計情報として記録される。

    【背景】

    ユーザーがBoxの利用において組織のルール（サービスルール、セキュリティルールなど）を逸脱した場合、管理者が逸脱の証拠として当該ユーザーが所有するファイルを閲覧・ダウンロードしたいケースが想定されます。
    アクセス統計情報が残っていると、管理者が何らかの操作をしたことに当該ユーザーが気づくことになり、不正の証拠を隠滅する可能性があるので、これを防止したい。

20. Please improve the tasks upper limit 20,000.

    The following page says "Maximum number of Tasks per user: 20,000" and we know that if the number exceeds 20,000 tasks will no longer appear in the Tasks Inbox as an example.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695954-Adding-Comments-and-Tasks

    Please remove the upper limit or change it so that users can continue to use the Task after 20,000 without loss of convenience.

    (Japanese)
    下記のページに「ユーザーごとのタスクの最大数は20,000です。」とあり、20,000件を超えるとタスクの受信トレイにタスクが表示されなくなることを私たちは知っています。
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360043695954-コメントとタスクの追加

    上限を失くす等、2万件を超えてもユーザーの利便性が損なわれずにタスクを利用できるように変更をお願いします。
