Box for Mobile - Media Auto-Player
It would be beneficial if there was a “music player” type feature of Box that would play through a folder with music / media tracks, as opposed to having to preview and play these one-by-one.

When my sidebar is expanded in Box, my entire Box window experiences a glitch that makes the entire screen strobe back and forth
When my sidebar is expanded in Box, my entire Box window experiences a glitch that makes the entire screen strobe back and forth until I collapse the sidebar. It is extremely irritating and often I want the sidebar open so I can see details about an item.

Passwordless Authentication
Authentication using security keys (passkeys/FIDO2) has been released. I think this is a very positive step forward.
Currently, the process requires entering your Box ID and password, followed by inputting a physical key. It would be great if security keys alone could enable passwordless authentication.For SMS or Authenticator app authentication,
requiring the sequence: ID input ⇒ OTP sent/entered ⇒ Box password input would also help counter dictionary-enhanced phishing (phishing aimed at understanding user password patterns, not necessarily targeting unauthorized Box logins).Additionally, using the Number Matching format for Authenticator app authentication offers higher phishing resistance and convenience compared to…

AI Studio - permissioning for Agent creator
When creating an Agent in AI Studio, it's not clear that permission is not automatically granted to the Agent creator. It would be helpful to add help text indicating that if an Agent creator needs access to that Agent, they should provide themselves permission alongside other users who are being granted access.

Switch to Cloud File API for Drive to solve the Icons not showing issue
Like many users I found that the status icons disappeared in Explorer after starting an addition cloud service on Windows 11. This issue is well documented here: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195513-Icons-Do-Not-Appear-In-Box-Drive-or-Box-Sync-on-Windows
I would like to suggest utilizing the newer "cloud files API" provided by Microsoft that is used by OneDrive to move the icons to a status category rather than icons on the file thumbnails/icons.
The documentation can be found here; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cfapi/build-a-cloud-file-sync-engine
Thank you for your consideration.

I want you to be able to add folders that are not owned or co-owned to Box Hubs
Many of the folders I use have editor permissions, and the current specifications do not allow me to use Hubs
I want you to be able to add editor permissions folders to Hubs as well.タイトル：
所有者・共同所有者ではないフォルダーもBox Hubsに追加できるようにしてほしい

Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Currently, the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes can only be expanded up to levels 1 to 3.
There are many cases where BoxNotes is created with more than three headings.
It is inconvenient that the formatting cannot be consistent because the number of heading levels cannot be increased, and that the table of contents cannot reflect all headings.
Please allow the table of contents to display headings of the 4th, 5th levels and beyond when viewed.BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす
現在、BoxNotesの見出しの階層はレベル1から3までしか展開できません。
BoxNotesが3つ以上の見出しで作成される場合が多くあります。
見出しのレベル数を増やせず、書式が一貫しないことや、目次にすべての見出しが反映されないことは不便です。
閲覧時に第4、第5レベル以降の見出しも目次に表示できるようにしてください。BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす

Increased file limit for Box AI for Hubs
Currently, Box AI for Hubs is limited to 10,000 files per hub and 1,000,000 files combined across all hubs in an tenant.
For use cases such as distributing hubs on a departmental basis, this number is low, so we would like the limit to be relaxed.Box AI for Hubsのファイル数制限を緩和してほしい
現在Box AI for Hubsを利用するには、1つのHubで10,000ファイル、テナント内すべてのHubで合計1,000,000ファイルまでが上限となっています。
部署単位でHubを配るといったユースケースでは、この数値では少ないため制限を緩和してほしい。61 votes -

Adding direct links dialog to the shared links dialog popup
There really needs to be a way that the direct links dialog could be moved to the Shared Links dialog box so that you don't have to have multiple click to just to get a direct link to an image file. At the current time, it's a lengthy process to create direct image links. See the attached files and please fix this!

Custom Poster Frame for Video Thumbnails
When a video is uploaded to Box the preview thumbnail is automatically pulled from a frame 10% into the video. For media and entertainment clients this can be a challenge because that frame is often an unflattering still of a talent mid-speech or in an awkward pose. That's the first thing clients see when they log in to review a file.
Platforms like YouTube and Vimeo have a great implementation of this where you can pick a specific frame or upload a custom image as the thumbnail. It would be wonderful to see something similar in Box.
On the technical…

Box Drive installation improvements
While I am submitting this for Box Drive, I think this should apply to all .msi installers from Box. Is there a way that we can see the version info in the file Properties - > Details? I know that .msi installation makes this trickier than .exe but it is difficult to determine if the website Download link gave me the most recent version or not.
There have been instances where the download from the website (https://www.box.com/resources/downloads#:~:text=Download%20Box%20Drive%20for%20Windows%20(64%20bit) gave me an older version than a user who had Box Drive installed with auto-updates enabled.

Make Box Shuttle available to Business Plan Co-admins
Please make Box Shuttle available to co-admins with Business plans. Currently it is only available to co-admins with Business Plus or higher. It is quite common for consultants to have the co-admin role rather than admin when working with clients.

Allow admins and folder owners to control visibility of the "Email All" button
We would like the ability to control the visibility of the "Email All" button at both the Enterprise level and the folder level.
Proposed behavior:
Enterprise admins can enable or disable the "Email All" button globally via the Admin Console.
At the folder level, co-owners and above (including owners) can toggle the visibility of the button for that specific folder.
Why this matters:In our organization, senior executives are often added as collaborators on folders. The "Email All" button makes it easy for any collaborator to send a message to all members of a folder — including those executives — which…1 vote -
Add Date Field to Box Forms
We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。31 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).
