Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs
When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.
We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

file preview, upload and download api
Right now we are missing information about the number of times a file has been downloaded or previewed using the API endpoint 'get file information' https://developer.box.com/reference/get-files-id/
We can only access this info through the admin console reports. It would be useful to access this info directly using the API1 vote -
Retain annotations in subsequent version(s) of a document
We use annotations when a group of us is proofing and suggesting edits to a document. When we're finished, when the designer makes our edits to the document, and then uploads a new version. Unfortunately, once the new version is uploaded, unlike general comments, the annotations are gone so we can't check in our changes. It would be great if you could make it possible to view annotations from the previous version of a document. Right now, the only workaround is to avoid using annotations, or to open the previous version of the document in a separate browser window and compare the windows side by side. Thanks!

Add “Specify when started” option in “Send a notification” outcome
There is an option “Specify when started” in “Assign a task” outcome. It would be convenient to have a similar option in “Send a notification” outcome, since the recipients might vary depending on who started the workflow.

Limit the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders and specific user-owned content.
When using metadata, it is important to gain the benefits of adding and managing metadata templates, but at present, anyone with authority can use any metadata template.
You can manage your content more sophisticatedly by limiting the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders.13 votes -
Change or delete ”People in your company” in link settings.
In our company, not only the headquarters, but also the operating companies use Box in the same Box tenant.
Therefore, the domains of all companies, including operating companies, are registered in Box as domains to be managed.
However, even though we are an operating company, there is a lot of information that we do not want other group companies to see.The average user misunderstands the "People in your company" permission in the shared link as referring to their own company.
However, in reality, if we select "People in your company," users from other companies will be able to view our shared links.Please add a setting that allows us to select only "People with the link" and "Invited people only" permissions for the shared link.
We don't need "People in your company" as it would cause confusion.当社では、本社だけでなく事業会社も同じBoxのテナントでBoxを使用しています。
そのため、事業会社を含めたすべての会社のドメインが、管理対象のドメインとしてBoxに登録されています。
しかし、事業会社とはいえ、他のグループ会社には見られたくない情報もたくさんあります。一般のユーザーは、共有リンクにある(会社)のユーザー」という権限を、自分の会社を指していると誤解しています。
しかし、実際には、「(会社)のユーザー」を選択すると、他の会社のユーザーも共有リンクを見ることができてしまいます。共有リンクの権限を「リンクを知っている全員」と「招待されたユーザーのみ」のみ選択できる設定を追加してください。

Auto-size content search manager as you go down the tree
When using the content search manger, the further you go down the tree the less of the folder name you see. This view should auto-expand to show the full name of the folder not just the the first couple characters.

Addition an event trigger for TASK.CREATE, COMPLETE, ACCEPT and REJECT for V2 webhooks
V2 Webhook does not have a Webhook for Task operations.
This makes it difficult to notify the next application of the completion of a task.Please add webhooks for Task created, completed, accepted, and rejected.

”Box Edit” ”logs”
About the addition of the automatic log deletion function of Box Edit
I understood that the current maximum value for log storage is as follows
（現在のログ保存の最大値は以下のようになっていると理解しています。）・Box Edit log: 5 files with a maximum of 5MB per day
・Local Com Server Log: 5 files of up to 5MB per day
・Upgrade Service Log: 10 files with a maximum of 10MB per dayAlthough there is an upper limit per day, the Box Edit logs will continue to accumulate forever.
We are concerned that if we use the system for a long period of time, the storage capacity will keep increasing and it will affect us.
Can you please add a function to delete them automatically?（1日あたりの上限は設けられているが、Box Editのログが永遠にたまり続けることになります。
長期間利用した場合に、ストレージ容量が増え続けてしまい、影響が出ることを危惧しています。

I have several reviewers that need independent approve/reject in parallel (simultaneously) rather than serially.
We have 5 reviewers for a task, each having different elements they are responsible for reviewing. Currently we can require they each approve independently, however if one rejects the task is ended for all, regardless of whether they've reviewed it or not, approved it or not.
We need 100% independent approve/reject

Move or copy to multiple folders
I would like to be able to Move or Copy a group of files to multiple folders in one click. It seemed when you added the radio buttons, that might be possible to select multiple destinations. Alas no.

Set certain folders to default to searching only within that folder
As an example, we have a Knowledgeable folder. When users go to that folder and search, I want to confine search to just that folder by default (most users won't want to tick the box).

Add sender's email address to the "Mail All" collaborators functionality.
Currently when a notification is sent via email through "Mail All" collaborators function, it does not include an email to the person who created the notification. It would be beneficial to add the sender's email address to this notification process for documentation purposes and validation. When the creator does not receive the email, they are reliant on other parties to forward the notification, which is not efficient.

Ability to turn off comment function
There is no way to turn off the Comment feature as a default setting. When using a touchscreen laptop, every touch designed to navigate triggers the comment function. This requires manually turning off the Comment function on every single document when using the touchscreen, functionally eliminating using the touchscreen as a viable UI. PLEASE either allow the Comment function to be turned off, or default to Flagging when a laptop touchscreen is detected.

drag-and-drop upload for attachments of rich text format emails
It would be nice to be able to upload attachments also on the rich text emails to Box by "drag-and-drop" so that Box users can share items by more Intuitive operation.
So far it's possible to do that for attachments on the text format email, but I would appreciate further functional improvement.

Install Box Sync on PC using existing Box Sync folder
You have a published workaround here:
This only describes how to download the Box Sync data all over again. I do not have high-speed internet, so this would take weeks to do.
All I did was change out my storage drive. All of the Box Sync data was copied exactly, so all 50GB of data is still there. I just need to have it see that the files in the current folder are the same (you can use the filename, location, and file size). Syncing the file's timestamp with my PC would be a nice feature, as my PC is always the original.
