1. Hover over file name

   I see that a hover option to view whole file names was offered in 2022. This used to work fine for me but recently stopped. I can no longer hover to see whole file names and have to go back to opening the doc to view full names. Am I the only one having this problem or did it stop for everyone?

3. Allow the possibility to have several several MFA as a backup

   Many website allows to have multiple secure key for example, so if you have lost your main secure key, then you can still use the backup one.
   I have 2 secure keys and I have them configured in parallel, and BOX.com is the one of the only website that doesn't allow such use case.

4. Box for Outlook - Allow Configurable Setting that will autocovert an attachment to a link when over a certain size

   Sharefile's Outlook add-in allowed for you to define a size threshold for attachments. When that threshold was reached, it would automatically upload the attachments to Sharefile and then insert the link to the file(s)

   This feature made it simple to share larger documents, or multiple documents that would cause bounce-back emails for trying to send an email with too large of size. This was also much quicker than taking the time to create a new folder, upload the documents, then attach the links for those documents to the email.

   I understand that this would require some other types of decisions to be made, such as where does the file get uploaded to? Perhaps there is an autogenerated folder for each user account that it sticks the files in, similar to Box Reports, Box Shuttle Reports, My Box Notes, My Canvases, etc.

   You can find some of their documentation here:

5. Request for a Role That Can Manage Collaborators Without Access to Folder Settings

   We would like to request an enhancement to Box's permission model.
   Business Requirements
   Our organization has the following requirements:

   Delegate collaborator management to designated power users.
   Restrict folder configuration and administrative settings to the IT department only.

   Current Limitation
   Currently, we cannot satisfy both requirements simultaneously with the existing roles.
   Option 1: Power Users as Co-Owners

   Power users can manage collaborators, which meets our first requirement.
   However, they can also modify folder settings, which conflicts with our governance policy.

   Option 2: Power Users as Editors with Collaborator Management Enabled

   Power users can manage collaborators without having access to all folder settings.
   However, general users must be assigned roles such as Viewer Uploader.
   As a result, general users are unable to delete files, which does not meet our operational requirements.

   Requested Enhancement
   To address these challenges, we would like Box to provide one of the following:

   A new role similar to Co-Owner that can manage collaborators but cannot modify folder settings.
   A granular security or permission setting that allows administrators to:

   Grant collaborator management privileges, while
   Restricting access to folder configuration and administrative settings.

   This enhancement would enable organizations to delegate day-to-day access management while maintaining appropriate governance and control over folder settings.
   Thank you for considering this request.

7. Please review the reordering of menu items and consider using a pop-up display.

   Because “Hide this folder,” “Share,” and “Update folder” are arranged vertically, users are more likely to click the wrong option during operation.
   In particular, a user trying to select “Share” may accidentally click “Hide,” causing the folder to disappear from the list and making it difficult to tell whether the folder was deleted by mistake or merely hidden.
   In addition, because no confirmation pop-up (reconfirmation message) is shown when “Hide” is clicked, there is insufficient protection to prevent accidental actions.

8. I want to be able to show or hide the content displayed in the root folder

   Since you are invited to many folders in the company, a large number of folders will appear in the root folder (folder/0).
   I want a function that allows me to show and hide so that only the folders I need are displayed.

   タイトル：
   ルートフォルダに表示されているコンテンツの表示・非表示を切り替えられるようにしたい
   本文：
   社内で多くのフォルダに招待されるため、ルートフォルダ（folder/0）に大量のフォルダが表示されてしまう。
   必要なフォルダのみを表示させるよう、表示・非表示を切り替えられる機能が欲しい。

9. Metadata Save and Cancel options on folders

   I'd like to request to include the Save and Cancel option for Metadata on a folder.
   Metadata (retention) templates are applied immediately upon selection on a folder. Because the interface does not feature a secondary "Cancel" or "Save" button, the policy takes effect the moment the template is chosen (=added), making any subsequent cancellation irrelevant to the already-applied configuration. This behavior does not occur when adding metadata to individual files.

11. Prevent LFO from occurring due to Box Relay

    When running folder actions (copy/move/delete) in Relay workflows, if the source or destination folder contains a large volume of content, that folder may become subject to LFO, causing files to be locked and preventing other users from accessing them.

    Therefore, when a user attempts to configure a flow with a folder that could be subject to LFO, we want to prevent unexpected LFO by clearly indicating on the flow creation screen that the workflow cannot be created due to LFO—for example, by displaying an error message or making the folder unselectable.

    〈Box RelayによるLFOの発生防止〉
    Relayのワークフローでフォルダアクション（コピー／移動／削除）を実行する際、コピー元またはコピー先のフォルダに大量のコンテンツがあると、そのフォルダがLFOの対象となり、ファイルがロックされて他のユーザーがアクセスできなくなる場合があります。

    そのため、LFOの対象になり得るフォルダをフローに設定しようとした時点で、フロー作成画面でエラーメッセージを表示する、または該当フォルダを選択不可にするなどの対策により、「LFOの影響で当該ワークフローは作成できない」ことを明確にし、想定外のLFO発生を防ぎたいと考えています。

12. Custom Poster Frame for Video Thumbnails

    When a video is uploaded to Box the preview thumbnail is automatically pulled from a frame 10% into the video. For media and entertainment clients this can be a challenge because that frame is often an unflattering still of a talent mid-speech or in an awkward pose. That's the first thing clients see when they log in to review a file.

    Platforms like YouTube and Vimeo have a great implementation of this where you can pick a specific frame or upload a custom image as the thumbnail. It would be wonderful to see something similar in Box.

    On the technical side a custom poster frame can already be embedded directly into an MP4 file using FFmpeg. If Box could read that embedded metadata when generating the preview thumbnail it would give users a straightforward way to control what clients see without needing any changes to the upload process.

13. Automate Outcome Based on Metadata Field Change

    We would like an Automate outcome based on a change to a metadata field that was assigned in a previous outcome. An example would be in an HR recruiting workflow when the Role Stage metadata field changes to BC Complete a Send Notification outcome fires notifying applicable teams, HR, IT, Manager, etc. to begin preparations for the new employee.

    As it stands now, the only way we've found to do this is by assigning a task to the recruiter.
    
    The issue is that there are always multiple positions being worked at any given time and some positions take weeks or months to fill so the task stays open for this time, along with all others. this is confusing/frustrating for her.

14. Enable Metadata Cascading and Autofill on Folders

    It would be very helpful to have the ability to enable cascading and autofill on folders when a metadata template is added as an outcome. In our case, we create new folders for each new position requested and being able to automate the process of applying a metadata template to files added to the folder and then have the metadata populated would be save a lot of time and effort for our HR team.

17. Box Doc Gen Outcome Doesn't Keep Values

    Using the Doc Gen outcome in Automate, we've found that when a change is made to a Doc Gen template, an update to the workflow outcome is required. This is expected behavior. However, performing that update causes all previously assigned field values to be cleared, requiring the user to manually reassign each one — even when the template change had no effect on any variable or field mapping.
    We have several Doc Gen templates with more than 50 fields, and a few exceeding 70. Reassigning all values each time a minor change is made is not practical at scale. Until this is addressed, we will be unable to migrate many of our existing Relay workflows to Automate. Thank you.

18. Put all bullets, numbering, alignment , and highlight buttons on the toolbar

    When using Box Notes it is very annoying to have to click an additional dropdown every time I need to add bullets/numbering or change text in my document. There are only 3 options for bullets and numbering and 4 for alignment; could we just put them all on the toolbar, at least when space allows? It's a really thick toolbar as-is; many ways to arrange it. But the extra clicks all the time is frustrating. Highlight should also be pulled out from text color, especially since it doesn't remember that you were working in the highlight section the next time you click it.

19. Allow Specification of Signer Assignment in Create Box Sign request API

    When creating a Box Sign request currently, the user is limited to setting "isdocumentpreparationneeded": true if they want to assign people to specific fields. The API can be enhanced to allow the API caller to specify which signer is assigned to which field. I imagine it would be similar to the "prefilltags" feature of the API. You can specify which field you want to prefill based on the "documenttagid" (reference image below). It can be similar to this but instead you map the email of the person to the field they are assigned to.

    In short, the API allows the caller to:
    - Specify which fields a signer must fill out, based on the template.
    - Not require document preparation so the process can be more automated.
