offline files and selective sync
I would like to see the ability to mark files and folders for local or offline storage. Currently box drive allows for only the folder to be marked offline or downloaded locally. When I don't need to have a file downloaded anymore there is not a way for me to mark them offline. I have tried marking the folder offline but that doesn't work to make the files I want offline. Additionally, this would cause all files that I do want locally to become offline. Dropbox currently has the ability to selectively sync the files and or folders that…

Allow Web-Sorting by Author’s Last Date Modified
Ours are legal documents and their Last Date Modified (by us, or by an author. NOT the date uploaded to Box) is a critical date. Some dates are many years old, created long before being uploaded to Box.
It's used in locating a single file among thousands. Do you seriously propose that our collaborators open the Properties of each file (among many hundreds) to see the Properties of each so as to locate the one file they need? What a terrible waste of Users’ time.
The date we moved a paper file from one office desk or filing drawer (or…

Request for addition of a function to change the display unit of the storage size of insights in the management console
Currently, the display units for the overall size and the detailed size are different, and I would like to convert the units depending on whether I want to see a rough view or see more details, but it would be a hassle to convert each.
Therefore, we would like you to add a function to convert the display unit.＜管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージのサイズの表示単位を変更する機能の追加要望＞
現状全体および詳細なサイズの表示単位が異なっており、ざっくり見たい場合やより詳細を見たい場合などに応じて単位変換したいが、それぞれ変換するのは手間になります。

As an admin, I should be able to designate a folders zone (not restricted by the user).
In a closed environment where you have a single user designated as the owner, you are currently unable to utilize multiline tenancy. In an instance where UK HR Files need to have a zone of UK and US HR Files need to be in the US zone, I would need to create a separate service account to own each set of files.
Ideally you would be able to designate anything containing PII/PIA/IP to a root folder with a designated zone based on data storage compliance. Allowing multiple users to access without worrying about the need for unnecessary service accounts which…

Request for Early Improvement of Upload Speed for Large Files in BoxZones Environment (excluding the United States).
While improvements have been made in the past regarding upload speed in the NonZones environment, these improvements have not yet been implemented in the Zones environment.
There is no significant difference for small to medium-sized files, but there is a noticeable difference for large files of 1GB or more, with a roughly threefold gap observed in multiple upload speed measurements.
As employees regularly upload large-sized drawings, photos, videos, and other data in their daily tasks, this disparity leads to missed opportunities and decreased productivity.
Particularly, when transitioning from the NonZones environment to the Zones environment, it results in a deteriorated user…
12 votesOver the past few years -- and especially in 2024 -- Box has made significant architectural improvements that have accelerated uploads in Zones. You should see faster, more reliable transfers as a result. If you’re still experiencing any issues, our Box Support team is here to help -- please reach out.

Add text notification that "Create Password" link will expire in 48 hours.
It is not uncommon to let an email sit for a few days or come back to it.
We are suggesting adding a comment on under that link notifying users that they should set that password now, since it'll expire.
This could drive quicker action with all users and less work on Admins who need to resend.

(Android) Usage of Android App Bundles
This would reduce the installation size of Box by a significant amount on Android devices. I personally suffer from inadequate storage space, so this would be extremely useful for users like me.

Email Notification for moved folders incorrect
We are seeing situation where a email message is generated indicating a folder has been deleted when a collaborator moves it out of the Owner's folder. The email contains a link to the owner's trash folder that results in an error message if you try to follow it.
Here is the setup.
User A - Creates a folder that contains sub-folders and files.
User A - Invites User B as an Editor on the root folder.
User B - Moves one of the sub-folder in the shared folder to another location in their own Box account.

Better information on Alert Information for Location Detection Rules

Expired Shared Link Notification to Owner
Today, if I click on an expired shared link I cannot access the file. Ideally, I'd like the content owner to be notified if I click on the expired shared link so that they know that I'm trying to access it/can make it available to me.

Box Updates Daily Report
The idea is, instead of getting a flood of emails or notifications throughout the day to rather get a summary of everything that was changed in the day or "A Daily Report." This could also be a weekly report for users who do not want updates throughout the week flooding the email.
This makes it so all the notifications can still be received by each individual without causing issues of too many emails.

Daily reminders on uncompleted tasks for Approvers in box relay
Would like to have a function to notify the Approver for uncompleted tasks in box relay on a daily bases. A popup when opening box of the web would also do.
When the Approver of a task is extremely busy, the current email notification is not enough, therefore would like to have an automatic reminder on a daily bases on pending approval tasks.

Ability to Dismiss Error Messages Not Just Retry
Error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.
Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved…

Canvas feature improvements
After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:
- Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.

- Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
- Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
- Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…

Ability to manage all notifications settings at the user level
Our team would love to only receive Box notifications via Teams.
Currently, you cannot turn off some notifications to go to your email, like when someone tags you in a comment.
We would like the ability to disable this manually. Some users would like to have both options.

Make inactive users their own category vs. remaining as licensed users
Inactive users shouldn't be regarded as licensed users; we need to maintain user history so we never delete users.

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.

Comments / Tasks from Desktop (Box Drive)
In order to currently leave a comment on a file we have to right click on it, click on view on Box drive, which opens chrome, loads the file, then click on the comment icon on the right and then leave our comment
A quicker and much simpler way of doing this would be to bring in comments and tasks into the box drive app to save us all of those steps of having to do this through our browser. There are a couple ways of doing this
1) Bring in notifications, tasks and a comment stream into the…
