2. Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages.

   Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages. Customers often want to just use box extract to load documents and skip the indexing. These documents can be large, 100 pages, 500 pages, etc, but the indexing information may be only on the first 3 pages that is required. This request is to incorporate a way to limit how many pages box extract runs against per folder, or per metadata set, per Extract Agent. The key is when I upload a 1000 page document, I don't want that to eat up 1000 AI units, or 3000 AI units depending, when I need it to use less than 3-9 ai units.

5. Searching for Folders and Moving files

   Ever since the platform updated, it has become very difficult to move a file to a new folder by searching the folder name. I can search for the exact name of the folder and get a whole bunch of other files that aren't even close matches to the folder name. Before the changes we had no problem finding the correct folder.

   I am primarily talking about our 30 INVOICES PAID folder. This folder probably contains several hundred folders for each of the vendors that we use, with additional folders for each year. If I want to move an invoice into one of the folders, it does not pop up in my search. If I go to the main folder, 30 INVOICES PAID, I can ony see the first 20 or so folders. I wait for the other folders to load and they never do. So essentially I cannot move the file to where it needs to go.

7. Shared Links Report Enhancement - Report from a specified folder and below

   I would like a filter to be added to the Shared Links Report where you can specify a specific folder and the report will run with that folder as the top level and report on shared links for everything below that. This would run much faster than running the report for our entire tenant.

   We have much of our data owned by a "Project Account" so it is not controlled by a specific employee. Because of this, running the report with this user as the owner using the existing filter option is much the same as running a tenant-wide report. It will take forever and contain way more information than we care to report on. When I want to report on a folder structure of a few hundred folders with a few thousand files, it doesn't make sense to run the report for this user who owns millions of files and folders.

8. Revert UX for creating folders

   Hi, I was wondering if we could revert the workflow for creating folders. There was a recent UI/UX update last week that changed my Box such that when I create a folder, it doesn't auto-populate my cursor in the "Name" field, and after typing the name of the folder, pressing enter does not create the folder.

   It was very smooth when I was able to click "new folder," immediately type the name of my folder, and then press enter to immediately create it. Now, I have to either click the "name" field directly or press tab before I'm able to begin typing, and in order to create the folder I have to press "create" with my cursor or press tab five times before pressing enter. This is a small but noticeable change that has slowed down my workflow when creating multiple folders each day.

10. Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report

    It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".

    Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
    The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.

    If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it because it is a legit IP address.
    If it falls into "Spoof an IP address" or "Use a VPN proxy", they might want to investigate how it happened on their end if needed.
    However, they can not find which pattern it falls into from just the "Unkown IP" description.

    For example, if the User Activity Report shows something like "Box internal IP" for "Use Box’s internal IP address" pattern, customers can tell that they don't have to worry as long as it shows "Box internal IP" since it was kicked by a legit IP address.

    This is an improvement request.

11. Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop

    Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).

    In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.

    It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

12. Notifications + Override ability for Folder Owners when a folder is Deleted by a Collaborator

    When in Box Drive, collaborators can inadvertently delete a large folder, even if they don't own that folder. Before the folder is able to be deleted, the owner of the folder should receive a notification with a warning (e.g. Jane Doe is about to delete your files) and the owner should have the ability to override the action. In the case where the Owner is no longer at the company, there should be an Admin warning and ability to override the action.

13. Set default on how to display a link

    I'm not sure when this was added, I didn't see it in the release notes. But when pasting a link into a Box Note, there are now options on how the link is to be displayed. It defaults to "Display Link Title". Can you please add a setting to change that default to another option?

    "Display as URL" is far more useful when you are pasting links (for example) from Jira or ServiceNow, where "Display Link Title" only says "Jira" every time, forcing you to go into each link and changing it to URL to see every link.

14. Access Policy to Restrict Access to Specified Groups

    With Hubs, users' ability to add content to a Hub increases the chance of accidentally giving access to unintended internal users. For sensitive content, it would be nice to be able to have an access policy applied to specific classification that restricts document access to users in specific groups to prevent internal data leakage.

15. Create a New Folder Bugs - cursor not in text box, no return to create

    Sometime in the last month, there was a UI update with Box that changed how creating a New Folder functions. Now, when creating a new folder, the cursor does not start in the name box, so you have to manually click into the box to start typing. Secondly, you can no longer press enter/return to create the folder; you have to drag your cursor and click the "create" button. This combination has been a frustrating change for seemingly no reason. Renaming a folder still automatically lets you type in names and press return to create, so it's definitely an accidental bug. Please fix asap!

16. Create folders in bulk by a specific destination folder using Relay at run time.

    Hello,

    As an example for you: our practice uses box.com for our architectural packages. Currently when we want to create a new project folder with specific names and sub folders we have to duplicate an existing set of folders and rename them all then move them to a new location.

    It would be helpful if Box Relay could let users choose a destination folder in Box at run time as part of a “Project folder creation” workflow.

    For example, during a form submission (or via a simple pop-up), the user could browse/select where the new project folder—and its standard subfolders—should be created.

    Right now, Relay requires the destination folder to be predefined in the workflow. That means we have to create a separate form/workflow for each client or brand just to point to a different parent folder.

    What we need is a single Relay workflow that:

    • Collects the project details,
    • Creates the standard folder/subfolder structure,
    • Applies naming/renaming rules, and
    • Lets the user select the correct client/brand destination folder each time.

17. Enhanced Folder Naming for Signature Links

    Current Issue
    When documents are issued via Box Sign signature links, the folders created during storage are named with dates only. We would like the ability to include document-identifying codes or keywords in folder names.

    Current behavior:

    File names are preserved, but folders are subsequently named with dates only
    When signature links are sent to multiple recipients, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which document belongs to which person
    Lack of clear organization makes document management challenging
    Proposed Enhancement
    Folder naming should include:

    Signature recipient's name
    Document-identifying keywords or codes
    Customizable naming conventions
    Business Impact
    This enhancement would significantly improve document organization and retrieval efficiency, especially when managing multiple signature requests simultaneously. It would reduce time spent searching for specific signed documents and improve overall workflow management.

    Use Case
    When sending signature requests to multiple people for the same or different documents, administrators need to quickly identify and locate specific signed documents without having to open each folder to determine its contents.

18. I am a fan of central management of users. One feature is the admin's ability to create password for the accounts.

    As long as I have known box, there should be a feature that allows the admin of the company account. to create users and assign their passwords. This is a key factor in central management and control. It is almost a red flag for me, on implenetation.

20. Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format

    For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.

    However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.

    Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.

    The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.
