Extend classification posture to manage collaboration invites
Based on the classification of content, change the ability to invite collaborators, and automatically remove pre-existing collaborators if they exist and should not.
7 votesShield provides classification based external collaboration restriction. If you select to apply this restriction to both existing and new external collab, existing external collaborators will not be able to access the content they were previously invited to.

Enable read-only version for collaborators when another user has locked a file
Tackle the issue of duplicate files being created when users are making concurrent edits in the same file

Add permission to grant user access to see (list) of folders and files but not preview any content within the files.
This would provide awareness to the user that a file exists and they can then request preview (or other) access from the owner/co-owner.

relay assign workflow
When a user leaves the company, the admin (or the user) should be able to assign his workflows to someone else. So far, the admin can only deactivate a workflow. We have cases where the relay workflow has 46 steps and if the owner leaves the company, the job is lost. It is a waste of time. As well, folder problems should be highlighted if the user is replaced, thus allowing either the assignment of permissions to the folder(s) or the ability to switch to new folder(s).
22 votesDelivered – Admins can now assign a new workflow owner when deprovisioning a user

Admin Reports - User Activity -> Actions needs a field for if the user triggered or an automation like Box Drive triggered
When you see "downloaded" next to Box Drive for the action, you dont know if it was a folder marked for offline just downloading automatically, or if the user is actively opening the file...this needs clarity!

invite sharing - save message
When a collaboration invite has been accepted, the "<User> has accepted your invite" message should include the original invite message.
This will remind me why I shared the file with the user and what the user was asked to do with this file.

Add Box IDs to Managed Users Report
Currently, Box IDs are not accessible from the Managed Users Report. To obtain the Box IDs, I have to use the CLI.
Our company deprovisions Box accounts based on the Last Login date in the Managed Users Report and it would be helpful if the Managed Users Report include the Box IDs.
38 votesWe've rolled this out in a recent release. Thank you for helping make Box better!

@'ing box groups in comments
Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.38 votesThank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

Ability to show Full path from root to collaborated folder
If i have a folder in the following structure
/1/2/3
and I invited User B to Folder 3
When User B access Folder 3 he would have no idea that folder 3 is actually in the path /1/2/3.On Box platform however, there is an optional parameter "canviewpath",
while this can only be used by the folder owner it adds to ability to let collaborator see the folder from root to target folder.34 votesWe currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Templates - Restrict Templates to Specific Users/Groups and/or Folder Structures
Metadata templates are currently global across an entire EID. This does not scale well for large organizations with 50,000, 100,000 or more than 200,000 users.
This request is to add 'scope' parameters to Metadata Templates such that a specific template can be restricted to...
1. A specific set of users
2. A specific set of Groups
3. A specific Folder structure112 votesThis is on 2026 roadmap, and is under development.

Expose Favorites in Box Drive
Favorites are becoming more and more popular now that they're better exposed (in the left rail) in the new Web App.
As such, users expect to access their Favorites list regardless of which endpoint they're using - webapp (supported), mobile (supported), or desktop (not supported via Sync or Box for Desktop).
REQUEST: Add a 'Favorites' view to Box for Desktop content (somehow) that allows the user to view only their Favorites (files + folders) just like they do in the webapp.

A true silent update is not currently planned. We have made some improvements to Box Drives update behavior by including silent updates when Box Drive is launching, if an update is already available. This improvement is in v2.3 for Mac and v2.3 for Windows.

Auto-Created 'All Users' Group
Add the option to the Groups tab to have a 'smart' group that auto-adds all Managed Users - this is a commonly used practice to provide all users with a 'getting started' folder, but currently must be either managed manually or sent to Box via SAML (meaning the customer must keep the group updated in AD).
42 votesWe’ve been focusing on making the following improvement to Box Groups instead: allowing external users to be added to groups (https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/35982226) and using groups for granting access to apps and enterprise settings (https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/36670615).

Export Users - Use standard storage metric in managed user export report
The "Storage Use" column in the Admin Console uses various metrics (B, KB, MB, GB, etc.), which prevents them from sorting to see which users have the most storage, least storage, etc.

Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.
We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

New Search Filter - 'Last Updated By'
Currently, Box users can't search by a criteria of the user who updated some document most recently. There's a search filter for 'owner', but not 'last updated/modified by'.
REQUEST: Add a 'last updated/modified by' filter to the quick search and full search results filter options.

Zones assigned on folder instead of user
Hi Team,
I have a customer who is interested in folder level zones assignment instead of folder owner. They are currently using the service accounts for each zones and sharing the content that way but customer ideally wants it to be folder based (ie. one user to have folders associated with different zones since their lawyers work with content across multiple regions).Is there perhaps something coming to the roadmap?
