Word count for Box Notes
It would be very helpful if Box Notes had a word count feature so our team could use it to draft text that will be plugged into word or character limited online forms. Thanks.

Box Shield Smart Access - Require approval when doing a Business Justification override of a Classification
I want to allow team members to override a Box Shield Classification/Access Policy with a Business Justification ONLY IF the appropriate person approves the override.
"Appropriate person" would be 100% configurable and different across different Classification Labels. Options like:
- Person who created the Classification Label
- Main Admin or Co-Admin with appropriate permissions
- An assigned authorized person or group (e.g. legal, compliance, infosec, IT, folder or file owner).E.g. scenario #1: "Highly Classified" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, xxx person in InfoSec, or yyy person in IT could approve the override.
E.g. scenario #2: "Internal Only" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, any person in the InfoSec Group, any person in the IT Group, or the folder/file owner could override.

Send Box Events to Amazon EventBridge (Partner)
We would like for Box to be an AWS EventBridge partner:
https://aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/Box would push events to the AWS EventBridge using the EventBridge partner API. EventBridge supports at-least once delivery, so Box events should be sent to EventBridge at-least once. With Box as an EventBridge partner, all Box customers would be able to natively integrate Box and EventBridge.

Comment Replies and Thumbs Up/Down
It would be great to give a comment a thumbs up or down and be able to reply directly to someone's comment (ideally showing it indented under the person's comment, not at the bottom of the Activity/comment sidebar). This would help collaboration!

Capability to finalize files
It would be useful if it's possible to "finalize" files. Means some persons work on a file together until it is finalized and then prevent any further modification on the file. There is the Lock function, but then the person who locked the file, could still unlock it.

Open multiple tabs
Multiple tabs. We would like the ability to open different files (which may or may not be in different folders) in a tabed structure so that examining these files or reexamining these files during a discussion of their contents would not require a succession of closing and reopening files. We are proposing a structure similar to the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge tabs.

Shared Link Dashboard
Customers want to have the ability for a user to see and manage a dashboard of all the shared links they own. Admins should be able to get a global view within the tenant. The dashboard should show if a link is public or has an expiration date and allow the user to modify it as such.

Ability to easily navigate a document using a scroll bar when setting up a workflow or signing a document.
Navigation Difficulties on Box Sign
When creating a workflow, to add signature fields to the bottom of a document with more than 1 page, you can't easily scroll down and have to zoom out to drag fields to a lower page.
When you are asked to sign a document (chrome browser) there isn't a side-bar to scroll up and down the document. You can only zoom in and out and jump from page to page using the green navigation arrow. Scrolling through the document without a mouse or or keyboard keys is a challenge. A scroll bar would simplify navigation.

Log-in UI improvements
I wonder that the sign-in procedure is divided into 2 screens.
I wish the username and password could be authenticated on one and the same screen.

Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)
Hi,
it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.
Best regards,

Ability to manage pop-up messages
Integrate a switch to turn off pop-up notifications (those which pop up for every single step or process).
Maybe have different levels of notifications, like for debugging ("none" to "confirm every step")
There are way too many pop-ups in Box worsening the "user-experience".
See what can happen, if you have daily several hundreds or thousands of clicks too much to do for unnecessary things like clicking away pop-up windows which notify you about things you already know you have done (like another user put it so aptly into Box community):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_syndrome
https://theboar.org/2014/08/point-click-dangers-carpal-tunnel-syndrome/Let everyone choose individual Box-feedback levels for themselves and don't force all the messages somebody at Box thinks are necessary on your customers. Some customers might need or even like it, but many probably don't. You will hear a big sigh of relief from Box user community after that and make the world a better place (ok, I'm exaggerating somewhat there).

Add simple editing functionality for videos in Box (e.g. trim or stitch)
Add simple editing functionality for videos in Box (e.g. trim or stitch).
We take a lot of videos. Mostly from Zoom. Sometimes 8 hour learning sessions. Simple stitching or trimming would be valuable. Dropbox has this.

Request for improvement of mail upload function
I found a problem with the current mail upload function, so I would like Box to improve it.
[Request (1): Adding Management Console and Folder Settings]
Users with Editor permission can change the settings of the folder's mail upload function.
However, I would like to add the ability to restrict this permission to owners and co-owners to the administrative console and the settings for each folder.[Request (2) Timing for saving the settings of the mail upload function]
If you click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" about the mail upload function of the folder, the URL for the mail upload will be issued immediately and the setting will be saved, but if you make an operation by mistake, you cannot return to the original URL, so I would like you to improve it as follows.Working with the Mail Upload Feature in Current Folder Settings
① Click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder setting.
② A URL is issued for mail upload.
③ It is applied immediately without pressing "Save Changes" in the upper right of the screen.Working with the Mail Upload Feature in Improved Folder Settings
① Click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder setting.
② A URL is issued for mail upload.
③ This setting is not applied immediately and is saved when you click "Save Changes" in the upper right corner of the screen. A user who performs an operation by mistake can prevent the setting from being changed by not saving the setting change of the folder.[Request (3) Checking the change history of the mail upload function]
I would like you to provide me with a way to check the log (who made what changes and when) when users change their mail upload settings for a specific folder. I can't find out who changed my mail upload settings at this time.[Request (4) Behavior when sending mail to a non-existent mail upload URL]
If the user accidentally changes the URL for the mail upload, the previous URL is invalidated. If you send the mail upload function using the previous URL, the following mail will be sent from Box.Subject:
Unable to process mail requestArticles:
Your attempt to email file (s) into 'a folder' was not successful.From this email, the user knows that the upload failed but does not know to which folder the upload failed. By including the information about the folder in this mail, the user can know which folder the mail upload failed, so please add that information.
[Background to the Request for Improvement]
・Users upload faxes that arrive at the multifunction device as e-mail attachments to the fax folder of Box using the mail upload function.
・Since each user has to move or delete the uploaded files, the user who collaborated with Box's fax folder has been granted the rights of an editor.
・Each user is optionally configured to receive an email notification when a file is uploaded to the Box fax folder.By performing the above setting, the paper ejection of the fax is eliminated, and the PDF is directly ejected into the Box and the reception notification is received. Fax reception can be confirmed even on different floors and when teleworking, so printing costs are not incurred, loss is prevented, and there is no need to scan later.
However, a user with Editor rights accidentally clicked "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder settings and reissued the URL for the mail upload.
As a result, files uploaded to the previous URL were lost. In addition, since it was not possible to check which folder and when the setting was changed in the report, etc., it took a lot of effort to identify the folder. This is how the request for improvement came about. We are currently taking measures by increasing backup methods.
Please consider it in order to make it simple and safe.

Ability to update the "Learn More" Classification Link
Box customers would like the ability to update the “Learn more” URL to a customer specific Classification Policy URL.They want to add the URL to their own Data Classification Policy that users can access as a reference. The URL that the customer would like to add is specific to the Data Classification Policy and not intended for Help or support URL to contact. They would like users to be able to refer to the policy for more information. Specifically, replace the “Learn more” URL which has nothing to do with data classification (the URL is about Box community). The admins would like the ability to update the “Learn More” link for Classifications to point to something more useful (e.g. Customer Data Classification Policy).
