  1. 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]])

  2. Request for Early Improvement of Upload Speed for Large Files in BoxZones Environment (excluding the United States).

    While improvements have been made in the past regarding upload speed in the NonZones environment, these improvements have not yet been implemented in the Zones environment.

    There is no significant difference for small to medium-sized files, but there is a noticeable difference for large files of 1GB or more, with a roughly threefold gap observed in multiple upload speed measurements.

    As employees regularly upload large-sized drawings, photos, videos, and other data in their daily tasks, this disparity leads to missed opportunities and decreased productivity.

    Particularly, when transitioning from the NonZones environment to the Zones environment, it results in a deteriorated…

    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    Over the past few years -- and especially in 2024 -- Box has made significant architectural improvements that have accelerated uploads in Zones. You should see faster, more reliable transfers as a result. If you’re still experiencing any issues, our Box Support team is here to help -- please reach out.

  3. Upon folder upload via web or Drive, if any files fail due to file/path name limit, provide a list of those files

    When a file path exceeds 255 characters, the file would in some circumstances (e.g on Windows), fail from upload. When an entire folder is moved, there is no way of knowing if or how many files may have failed to upload. This is due to OS limitation, but a Box notification or a report could at least allow a manual transfer or shortening the names of the impacted files.

  7. Collaborator files from Box Drive not showing up on Box.com

    Ever since we updated our systems to macOS Ventura we've encountered many issues with Box Drive, now we are not seeing files from other collaborators that they report to have synced showing up on other peoples Drive or on Box.com at all. Box Drive has become unreliable lately, and users are being forced to manually upload files via desktop to ensure their files sync. Please fix!

  8. Subfolder Sync: Don't Sync the Files Located in the Parent Folder Path

    One of the nuances of Box Sync 4.X's 'subfolder sync' feature is that files that are located in the folders of the parent path for the synced subfolder are also synced, which creates a weird, and unexpected, experience for end users.

    Reference: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync/How-Do-I-Sync-Subfolders-In-Box-Sync-4-0/ta-p/116

    REQUEST: Fix this behavior so that even when only a subfolder is marked for 'syncing', none of the files in the parent folders are also inadvertently synced, and instead only sync the parent folders to keep the path in tact.

  9. Launch study.ambradicom files on double-click

    BOX is retiring their DICOM solution at the end of the year, and replacing it with Ambra DICOM. Study files created by the old BOX solution are named "Study.boxdicom" and can be launchd into the BOX DICOM viewer by simply double-clicking on the filename. This is not true for the new Ambra "study,ambradicom" files. In order to view them, you have to clcik on the triple-ellipses. select "Integrations", and then "View DICOM".

    I would like to have the ability to simply double-click on the new "study.ambradicom" filename and have it launch the Ambra viewer.

  10. Unable to move Box files to new hard drive

    I added a larger, secondary drive to my computer, and I'd like to move the Box Drive and off line files to this second drive. This is because the C-drive is 90% full while the new terabyte drive is almost empty. I need to free up space on the C-drive. I was told "customizing the Box Drive folder does not change where Box Drive stores its app data or cached files, including items marked for offline use, so customizing the folder will not save disk space if you relocate the folder to another drive".

  11. 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.

  12. Drag and drop files from Box into a document

    Our users have all of their content/ media files/ images stored in Box. They routinely drag and drop images to a document (PPT, Word etc.) to prepare docs.

    Right now, unless users sync all their files, they cannot drag and drop the file into a document. They have to download it and then add it to doc.

    Thanks for the feedback! There is no workaround for this use case at this time.

    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.

  15. 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。…

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. Retain only recent versions of files

    A lot of storage space is dedicated to old versions of files that will never be needed. We would like the ability to retain large number of versions of content in the short term, but to only keep few versions older than a year.
