Different sort options for different folders
I would like the option to sort my home folder by "Last Accessed" and other folders by "Name". Currently we can only sort one way. Thank you.

If we could toggle an Alpha Numeric sorting feature rather than the current system.
As an institution that has thousands of photos that are already labeled by our current archive system, it would be incredibly helpful to have files be able to be sorted by an alpha-numeric approach. Such as, ST-A1, ST-A2, ST-A3, ST-A110 rather than ST-A1, ST-A110, ST-A2, ST-A3.
I'm suggesting introducing a toggle or dropdown sorting option, as to not mess up current systems. I understand that adding a 0 in front of numbers is the suggested method, however that would not work in this case as it would change the item's ID system. It seems to me that sorting is one of the major frustrations in using box, and an update and adding more options in this area seems appropriate.

Box for Salesforce app: enable conditional display of another record's folder rather than creating a new folder for a particular record
Enable conditional display of another record's folder rather than creating a new folder for a particular record. Ideally, this would be able to be done in the lightning page when you add the Box component to the page, by allowing the admin to select a record field, or a related record's field (not just a label) where the folder id is stored.
Use case: allowing a parent record's folder to show in all of its children so that all of the documents related to the parent are stored in a single place.

Hubs permission model should be more granular (add previewer)
Currently in the Box Hubs Beta, all collaborators invited into a Hub receive the "Viewer" permission on files and folders linked in the Hub. This does not allow for Hub content to be view-only and block downloading of content. Alternative methods of managing this such as rolling out classification policies would not be scalable as Hubs usage grows. It would be great if Hubs collaboration could be more granular and there was an ability to invite users or groups into a Hub with other permissions such as "Previewer" so they are more restricted on what they can do after accessing content.

API Endpoint to Manage Custom Apps

Auto-Generated/System Generated Folder Creation via API
Currently, if your enterprise settings have the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting as enabled, it also stops any root level folders appearing that are generated by Box, such as the "My Sign Requests folder"
My understanding is that this folder's existence makes it so a user doesn't have to specify a folder for the sign request to go into. However, the lack of this folder existing makes it so that you do need to specify a folder for each request. We have many users who would prefer that all of their sign requests are present in the same folder, that leaves me with two current options:
1) Make a new folder for everyone; as well as any future users who get provisioned
2) Perform the following actions for everyone that we want the folder to exist for:a) Perform a managed log in for an affected user
b) Start a Sign Request
c) Back out of the request to generate the folder
d) Log out of the managed log in instanceThen after performing that for everyone, we would re-enable the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting again.
It would have been ideal if we could use the API to generate any of these types of system-generated folders, such as My Sign Requests, My Box Notes, My Canvases, etc. even if the root level creation is restricted to admins.

I would like to be able to adjust the width of items and reorder them on the report status screen.
When checking the report status screen, the author's name and report type are omitted, which is inconvenient. I would like it to allow changing the display width of items to make it easier to check. Also, I want a feature that lets you click on item names to sort items other than the last update date.

Automating Document Creation via Dynamic Table Generation with Forms & Doc Gen
[Request]
Enable Dynamic Table Generation When Creating Documents with Forms + Doc Gen[Customer Use Case]
The headquarters IT department wants to automate the monthly task of issuing invoices for system usage fees to the group’s local subsidiaries.[Customer Needs]
They want to implement the following workflow as a web-based solution without custom development.- Enter invoice data per subsidiary via Forms
- Generate the invoice with Doc Gen
- Send a signature request to the manager via Box Sign
- After the manager signs, move the document to the shared folder with the local subsidiary
At present, this could be achieved by using the Doc Gen API, but that would require application development, which is a significant hurdle for the customer.
If the above can be done on the web without custom development, they believe it could be reused in other scenarios and accelerate broader business process automation.

[要望]
Forms + Doc Gen でドキュメント生成する際に動的なテーブルを生成できるようにしてほしい。［顧客のユースケース］
本社 IT 部門が、グループ内の現地法人に対してシステム利用料の請求書を毎月発行する作業を自動化したい。［顧客のニーズ］
以下の業務プロセスをカスタム開発なしの Web ベースのワークフローとして実現したい。- Forms で法人ごとに請求書データを入力
- Doc Gen で請求書を生成
- Box Sign で上司に署名リクエストを送信
- 上司の署名完了後、現地法人との共有フォルダにドキュメントを移動
現状、Doc Gen API を使えば実現可能だが、アプリケーション開発が必要になり、顧客にとってハードルが高い。
上記が Web ベースで実現できれば、他の業務シーンにも横展開でき、顧客の業務自動化を加速できると考えている。[Request]

image preview of a file when uploaded to forms
We wanted to do a 'final asset quality approval' workflow utilising Box Forms... but because Forms doesn't have the capacity to show a small thumbnail image of what's been uploaded, and after a meeting with PM it doesn't sound like this is coming anytime soon, we are going to use Jotform instead and integrate it. It's a shame as it would've been a great e-advanced use case. Can we get image previews of assets uploaded to Box Forms?

Redundant Shield alerts
Box Shield should be able to recognize when the same file or file set appears in multiple locations and treat it as a single item, rather than generating duplicate alerts across each instance. This would allow users to acknowledge (or dismiss) an alert globally—once for all occurrences—rather than having to clear it separately for every flagged file.

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.

Ability to Reassign Group Admin Permissions En Masse

Increase Multi-Document Querying Limitations from 10
The current system limits the number of documents that can be reviewed in a single session, which has led some public sector users to process eligibility documents in multiple smaller batches. In practice, screenings often involve significantly more documents (70 in some cases) than the system currently supports in one batch (10 max), resulting in added workload and inefficiency.
