  1. Sort files/folders/etc by exclusively names

    Right now can only sort files and folders by name separately ie. 04 folder, 05 folder, 01 file, 02 file, 08 link, 09 link etc. Would like them all in a row as they are steps to complete/fill out:
    01 file
    02 folder
    03 link
    04 file
    etc...

  2. Ability to retrieve the number of files for each folder through API

    The Box API allows users to get a list of the files contained in a folder, but it does not provide a direct way to get the number of files per folder, so we would like to provide a way to get the number of files.

  3. Fix the Preview of Excel file versions

    Currently, previewing older versions of Excel files does not work. No matter what version is selected, the current version of the file is displayed. The causes users to think that versioning is not happening OR that they have lost all prior versions. When users download a previous version of the file, it has the correct content for that version.

  4. Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory

    It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

  5. Permanently purge files with the Shiled label

    Business activities sometimes require customers to permanently purge confidential information.
    However, many Box tenants have the problem of too many items in the Recycle Bin, making selective permanent purging of files impossible!

    We would like to apply the Shield label to the lifecycle of such sensitive information.
    Please consider adding the behavior of permanent purging from the Recycle Bin after a certain period of time for files with the Shield label.

    Supporting permanent purging by label would provide complete lifecycle management of sensitive information.

  6. When copying or moving a file via Relay, allow the file to overwrite an existing file of the same name as a version.

    If we have a locked down area for SOP type files, as the SOP is updated and approved, a Relay workflow moves the file into the published location. If the published file is the same name as an existing file, we would like to have the new file come in as a version of the prior file, not be named with the date-time stamp on it.

  7. 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 Box

    merit:
    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。…

    Accessing Box files in Office apps with passcode enabled(iOS)

    The Files App + Box integration does not support the app-specific password at this time, so we cannot reach Box from the Office apps.
    A workaround is to disable the passcode, but this is not advisable as it reduces the security level of your device.
    Employees who do not have PCs and work outside the office cannot use the system, which is causing disruption to work.

    パスコードが有効な状態でOfficeアプリでBoxファイルにアクセスしたい(iOS)

    ファイル AppとBoxの現時点の統合ではアプリ固有のパスワードをサポートしないため、OfficeアプリからBoxにアクセスできません。
    回避策はパスコードを無効にすることですが、端末のセキュリティレベルを下げることになるため望ましくないです。
    PCを持たず社外で業務している従業員が利用できないため業務に支障をきたしています。

    Uploading contract documents to our consultants and want them to View & Print. They can print only if I upload as Viewer & Download.. We don't want to upload as Viewer & Download. We don't want the consultant to download our document. ONLY VIEW & PRINT. Current this option is not there and if possible update the platform to View & print option.

  10. Edit Box files without having to leave Teams

    Allow editing of Box files directly in Teams. The current implementation of the Box integration with Teams is too limiting. Without editing, it is rather useless.

  11. Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version

    Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version. That is, only allowing these office files to be opened only through Word Online, Excel Online, etc. As of right now, these files are able to be opened through Google Docs and Google sheets, which alters the formatting of their original files.

    We are making continuous major investments to our Edge infrastructure to improve upload and download performance globally and increase our file size limits (150GB today).

    To upload large amount of data, Box Shuttle should be considered and if Box supports FTP, it is not the recommended way to upload large volume of files for both performance and reliability reasons.

  13. Folder path under Trash

    Under Trash, please add "folder path". If there was a bulk delete of many files in a folder, we want to confirm the file belongs in the folder path, before we restore the files.

  14. Ability to Define which folders/files are included in Box AI answer

    Admins have the ability to define which files and folders are included in Box AI.

    For example - at our oganization there are multiple SOPs and other operational documents that are useful but saved in different root folders.

    This would enable admin/folder owner to determine if folder/file is to be included into Box AI Queries

    Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory. For example, this file has a parent folder that is named ".Rproj.user" which starts with a dot.

  16. Unable to download files from "Collections."

    I would LOVE to be able to download the files from a "Collection." It's kinda weird that as powerful as Box is, this seemingly simple task is not available. I spent two days (off and on) assembling a "Collection" only to find that I need to go back and download each file (MS Word doc) individually. Food for thought. Thanks much.

  17. Ability to reduce file size when image is scanned via the Box mobile app

    Ability to reduce file size when image is scanned via the Box mobile app.
    - Currently, the size of PDF files obtained when we scan a document via the Box mobile app, is very large.
    - Example: Box app on iPhone file size - 7.4MB; Apple's "import from iPhone" file size: -3.9MB. - Could we have the ability to resize / reduce quality of these files?

  18. Allow Box to work with iOS Files app without having to disable sitewide security passcodes

    When using the Files App on iOS, you cannot connect to Box (as a location) if your enterprise settings require a passcode to use the Box app. Surely there must be some way to achieve this functionality without having to turn off passcode security for the whole firm.

  19. Add ability to remove shared content from the All Files page

    One of the complaints we've heard from our users is the inability to move shared content to a location other than their All Files page. For users with a lot of shared content this creates folder sprawl. With the new Collections feature we had hoped this would be possible as Collections can be accessed via the left pane.

  20. Improving "Folders and Files" Report Output

    Currently, when outputting the "Folders and Files" report, it is not possible to output folder-only information. Therefore, only folders need to be extracted from the output report. If file information is included, the number of records output will increase significantly. We would like to be able to output folder-only information. In doing so, it would be great if we could also specify the hierarchy of the folders. For example, up to the top 5 levels.

    現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートの出力時に、フォルダのみの情報を出力することができません。そのため、出力したレポートからフォルダのみを抽出する必要があります。ファイル情報が含まれると出力されるレコード数も大幅に増えてしまいます。フォルダのみの情報を出力できるようにしてほしいです。
    その際に、フォルダの階層も指定できると嬉しいです。例えば、上位5階層までなど。
