Do not display add-ins that are hidden in the Microsoft tenant settings
Although we have set the Add-ins button to be hidden in the Microsoft 365 admin center, this setting is not reflected when opening Office Online via Box, and users are still able to add add-ins.
If users add add-ins that administrators are not aware of, there is a possibility that we may not be able to respond to any issues or security problems that may arise as a result.
We request either that the settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center be applied to Box, or that Box provide an option to hide the Add-ins button in Office Online.In Japanese：

Korea zones
I would like to have Korea added as a new Zones country.
There is a law passed that the content needs to be stored in Korea so we will need Korea Zones to use Box in Korea.6 votes -
AI Model Name Display
When using Box AI for Documents or Box AI for Notes, please display the name of the currently active AI model on the screen so users can see which model they are using.
As AI models evolve, the same question may yield different answers than before. Therefore, it is important for users to always know which AI model they are currently using.3 votes -
Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support
I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests, this workflow is not sustainable, the requirement could be removed, simply by putting stricter security rules and guardrails in place and letting the user be responsible for their settings with legal binding agreements, etc. AWS demonstrates this wonderfully.
Please contact me, regarding this matter asap.

Export / Import annotations via API
Box is growing fast and being considered a real challenger to the rest of ECM platforms, but it still lacks important features to be fully considered when migrating from those other platforms. There's no option at all to bring over annotations from existing systems or recreate them via API. For some business units that's a MUST, so it would be perfect to have that option available.

Add a “comment visibility” option in Link Settings
In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.
Currently, when a shared link is set to a non-edit permission such as Can view only (or Can view and download), comments aren’t visible to viewers. Even for non-edit shared links, we want viewers to be able to view timestamped comments on videos, since this feature is extremely useful.
Use case: We publish videos on Box Hubs and share them externally using People with the link (Can view only). If viewers could see comments, we could point them to specific parts of the video more efficiently.（日本語）
「共有リンクの設定」で、コメント閲覧可否を設定したいです。
現状、共有リンクが「表示のみ」（または「表示およびダウンロード可能」）など編集不可の権限だと、コメントを閲覧できません。編集ができない権限の共有リンクでも、非常に便利な動画のアノテーション（コメント）を閲覧可能にしたいです。
ユースケース： Box Hubsに動画を掲載し、社外へ「リンクを知っている全員（表示のみ）」で共有しています。閲覧者がコメントを見られれば、動画の特定箇所をピンポイントで案内でき、効率的です。In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.

Allow Device Pinning for web
Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-PinningHowever, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
https://app.box.com/master/settings/devicesUsing sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

version
Allow the option to keep the existing filename when uploading a new version. Filenames are often autogenerated by the software producing the file. After uploading to Box, I usually rename the file to a more meaningful name. When I generate a new version of the file, it will have a different name, and then upload it to Box as a new version. Box renames it to the same name as the newly uploaded file, meaning I have to rename it again. I would like the ability to keep the previous name instead of the name of the newly uploaded file.

Create Doc Gen templates from PDF
I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from PDF documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

Give the Box Admin the ability to clone (mirror) an existing user's access when adding a new user to Box.
The goal is to streamline user provisioning by allowing Box Admins to replicate the permissions and folder access of an existing user when creating and adding a new user to Box.
This eliminates manual steps and ensures consistency in access control.
Why It’s Valuable?
Efficiency: Admins often need to onboard users with similar roles or responsibilities. Instead of manually assigning folders and permissions, cloning saves time.
Consistency: Reduces human error by ensuring the new user has identical access as the reference user.
Scalability: Ideal for large organizations where teams share common folder structures.

Index Lists
Suggest to add feature allowing users to download index lists of folder contents.
This feature could be permissioned, but the current protocol of requiring Box admin approval is challenging to navigate, and the produced index lists are not organized or very useful.

Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
The issue may be caused by one of the following:Lack of access permissions
Although I am able to log in, I may not have been granted the necessary permissions (e.g., Viewer or Editor) to view the relevant folder or files.Expired or restricted shared link
The shared link may have expired or been restricted to specific users, preventing access.Incomplete multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup
In some Box environments, even if login is successful, access to files may be restricted if the MFA setup is not fully completed. This may be related to the recent device failure.Could you kindly advise what steps I should take to regain access?

from Box Folder (Filtered) View - Start Box Relay
Most of solutions would need filtered data for example, to track the status of any document or request, one would need Status field to track the progress and showing user a filtered view is necessary. From same view, if relay can be initiated would be highly appreciated.

SFTP authentication method using a key pair.
Please allow Box to use a key pair as an SFTP authentication method as an alternative to a username and password. Not all systems allow files to be sent via SFTP using a username/password. Thanks.

Add the ability to search by uploader
We'd like to see the ability to search for files by uploader name. Since searching by owner is basically useless if the file is uploaded by someone other than the folder owner, having the ability to search by the uploader would make it a lot easier to find files uploaded by a particular user if you don't have the file name on hand.
