Add Integration by App ID/Client ID for Shield Access Policy Integration Restriction
When creating a Security Rule for a Shield Access Policy, when setting an Integration Restriction, you can only add the integration by name, and not by client ID or app ID. We have many apps with similar names, so using the client ID or app ID would help us restrict the correct app.

Open Microsoft Office in embedded Office app by default
If I have, say, an Excel file in my Box account, I can right-click on it, choose Open with..., then choose Excel Online, and it'll open up in the embedded version of Excel. That's wonderful! However, since I almost always want to open my Excel files that way, I'd really like an option to have that happen automatically when I open the file without right-clicking on it. This would save me a bunch of clicks over time.
(Closely related, I'd also like to get rid of the "will open in Microsoft Excel Online in a new browser window" alert, but there's a separate request for that for which I've already voted.)

Improve visibility and speed of LFOs within Box
I’d like to share some feedback about the lack of visibility and the slow speed of Large File Operations (LFOs) in Box, particularly when moving large folders or performing ownership changes.
These actions cause unavoidable downtime, but there’s no clear timeframe provided, and all items under the affected folders become inaccessible until the process finishes. This is creating significant headaches for our IT operations, especially as we’re working through major corporate restructuring. We’re forced to schedule these migrations on weekends to minimize disruption and open support tickets as a safety net in case the operations extend into the workweek and require follow-up.
It feels like much of this pain could be avoided with improvements to how Box handles backend database updates and by providing better progress tracking and time estimates for LFOs. More transparency and predictability would make a huge difference for teams managing large-scale changes.
Thanks for considering this feedback.

In the Enterprise settings for device protection, add the global IP address used during client connection to the device trust requirements.
I would like to add the global IP address that the client connects to as a target in the device trust requirements of the policies that can be set in the Enterprise settings for device protection. Currently, it is possible to apply for allowed IP addresses individually on a tenant basis, but it is not feasible to respond appropriately each time. By making it possible to set this as an item in this function, it will be possible to respond quickly and control the target in a limited manner, thereby improving operational management convenience and enhancing security. Please consider this.
Enterprise設定のデバイス保護のデバイストラストにて設定できるポリシーのデバイストラスト要件に、クライアントが接続する際のグローバルIPアドレスを対象に追加してもらいたい。
現在、テナント単位で個別申請によって許可対象IPを申請可能だが、都度申請では適宜対応できないため、本機能の項目として設定可能とすることにより、迅速な対応や、対象を限定した制御が可能となるため、運用管理の利便性とともにセキュリティの向上を実施可能となる。ぜひご検討いただきたい。

Improvement of search within the Hub
We would like to search for information within texts in the Hub, not only from files and folders in the Hub.
Currently, to enable information search within the Hub, we compile all information in Box Notes and add it to the Hub. However, this results in longer access times for users. We would like to improve the issue where supplementary texts written within pages are not searchable.1 vote -
Folders and Files Report Filtering Settings
Request:
In the folders and files reports, we want to output the results filtered by the content's "Creation Date (range specified)" or "Upload Date (range specified)".example:
Output a list of content that was newly uploaded (or created) within a specific time range (MM/DD to MM/DD) stored in Boxmerit:
By carefully selecting only the minimum amount of information required to be output in a report, you can reduce the time it takes to output the report.
In addition, since there is no need to process the output reports, work efficiency can be improved.要望：
フォルダとファイルのレポートにおいて、コンテンツの「作成日(範囲指定)」や「アップロード日(範囲指定)」でフィルタした結果を出力したい。例：
Box内に保存されている特定の時間範囲(〇月〇日～△月△日)に新規アップロード(もしくは、作成)されたコンテンツの一覧を出力するメリット：
レポートで出力される対象の情報を必要最小限に厳選することで、レポート出力までの時間の削減になります。
また、出力されたレポートを加工する必要がないため、業務の効率化が見込めます。Request:

Expand Column for Files and Folders Report
Sometimes I have users who ask for a files and folder report on a particular folder. After I receive the report I have to create an additional column for a link to the file/folder. I just use the existing information in the report, replace all F with f in the Item Type Column, and concatenate function in excel to create this. Would just like this to be a native addition for the report.
Excel function: =CONCAT("https://box.com/",[@[Item Type]],"/",[@[Item ID]])

Box Relay auto-populates metadata text field with destination folder name
It would be useful to have a feature where when a file is uploaded, the destination folder name is automatically entered into the metadata text field.
Specifically, when uploading experimental data from an experiment called "A" to Box, if we upload a file to a folder named "A", we would like a system where "A" is automatically entered into the "Experiment content" field of the metadata.
With this function, when searching for metadata "A", only files related to experiment A will be extracted.
It is expected that this will lead to improved business efficiency.For example, if we create a folder with the name "client company name," we can search by metadata to extract only files related to "client company name."
＜Box Relayで、メタデータのテキストフィールドにアップロード先フォルダ名を自動入力＞
ファイルがアップロードされると、自動的にアップロード先フォルダ名がメタデータのテキストフィールドに入力される機能があると便利です。
具体的には、「A」という実験を行った実験データをBox上にアップロードする際、フォルダ名「A」のフォルダにファイルをアップロードすると、メタデータの「実験内容」フィールドに「A」と自動入力されるといった仕組みが欲しいです。
この機能が実現することで、検索時にメタデータの「A」と検索をするとAの実験にかかわるファイルだけが抽出されます。
業務効率化に繋がることが期待されます。例えば、フォルダ名を「取引先会社名」で作成していれば、メタデータで検索をかけ、「取引先会社名」に関わるファイルだけを抽出可能です。

Add # of files to Box Hubs Report
Box Hubs fails if there are over 10,000 files linked to in the hub. It would be helpful to have a report that could report the total number of files available in a hub to help ensure we stay below this limit and/or if we exceed this limit, we can move content to a different hub and judge the impact of moving specific folders to better balance the load.

Grammarly in Box for Google
We'd like to be able to use Grammarly in the google docs, sheets, and slides that we store and access on Box. Currently, the Grammarly extension for Google Chrome (our typical browser) works fine on other sites, but not within Box.

We would like the option to change the time zone used in Box Shuttle job reports.
Box Shuttle is an excellent tool for migrating large amounts of data.However, the job reports always show timestamps in UTC, which means we need to manually convert them to our local time zone (e.g., JST) every time.
It would be very helpful if the timestamps in the reports—such as Creation Time, Source Last Modification Time, Target Last Modification Time, Last Access Time, Start Time, and Transfer Time—could be displayed based on the user’s default time zone and language settings.

Enable More than 2 Simultaneous Legal Hold Exports / Add Export Queue Management
Box currently limits legal hold exports to only two concurrent exports per account, which becomes a bottleneck when managing multiple cases, custodians, or data sets. There is no queueing mechanism or ability to start additional exports while the limit is reached—exports must be retried manually after completion. This slows down compliance workflows and creates operational friction for high-volume teams.

Direct transition from preview screen to server link embedded in file
When previewing PDF and Word files, it is not possible to navigate to server links embedded in the files.
If you want to navigate to server links, you need to download the files from Box and click the links, which is time-consuming.
There is an impression that the preview screen is inconvenient, and this damages Box's reputation, so please enable navigation to links from the preview screen.■In Japanese
PDF, Wordファイルのプレビュー時にファイルに埋め込まれたサーバリンクに遷移することはできません。
サーバへのリンクに遷移したい場合は、Boxからファイルをダウンロードしてリンクをクリックすることが必要で、手間がかかります。

List the file name that the pop up is confirming to be deleted
When the confirmation window pops up to ask "Are you sure you want to delete this item?" it would be really helpful for the filename to be listed there to ensure the correct file was selected.
