Multi-user and automatic uploads
Make box access suitable for multi user computers and have mechanism for automatically uploading data.
Use case: Lab equipment used by multiple users producing large amounts of data, automatically uploading this to box so as to limit required user interaction and keep local storage in check. Modern equipment can produce large amounts of data and being able to upload this automatically would help with data management. Requiring user intervention to manage their data is less practical with a very large user base so automating this process would again help with this process.

Avoid signed document shared link expiration notifications on internal-only sign requests
Whenever a document sent via Box Sign is completed, all recipients receive an email containing a shared link to the document. This shared link expires 2 weeks later, generating a "this link is about to expire" for all of the same recipients. These notifications can be annoying, and moreover don't clearly state that it is a signed document link that is expiring (it is just a generic notification).
Our company often sends documents for signature between internal recipients only, who can always access their documents by logging into Box and finding them in the My Requests section (or…

Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)
Hi,
it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.
Best regards,

Use customer's own email gateway to send email notifications
Many customers in regulated industries do NOT like the fact that email notifications from Box come from the Box Service with a noreply@box.com email address. The emails that Box sends on the user behalf do not go through a customer's email security or e-discovery system thus it creates problems in regulated environment that need to capture ALL communications between internal users and external customers. Box needs to have a configuration where a customer can configure their own SMTP gateway that Box can use to send email notifications with the proper TO and FROM data so they can better…

Show Folder Size in GB/MB at root and tree level, inside
To see, at a glance inside the Box.com web interface inspector, the file size allocated to each parent folder and should I click in, each sibling folder. Right now, the interface only gives the number of files, which is deeply unhelpful when trying to assess what folders are taking up how much storage...

Enhanced data loss prevention for MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) mobile apps that integrate with Box.
Currently, users who connected their corporate Box account to a MS Office mobile app, can duplicate files to another storage location. It would be ideal if Admins had the ability to prevent users from duplicating a file originally stored on Box, and preventing them from using the Duplicate feature to copy the file to another storage location like Dropbox/OneDrive.

Ability to send custom notifications for new uploads by external users
A customer of ours reached out to ask if it is possible to configure email notifications for a Box folder to send to anyone who uploads a document into this folder. Specifically she is asking whether an automatic reply email can be created and sent to anyone who uploads a file into a folder she owns. This folder is for admissions purposes, so having every uploader adjust their email notification settings is not a practical solution in this case. Since this is not currently an option for Box, I wanted to submit this feedback to suggest for future releases.

Assign user to item in Box App
As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a specific user in Box App rather than relying on free text or metadata drop down fields so that I can send a notification or task and see additional user information such as email and profile photo

Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file
Hi,
i discribe a situation:
The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the folder (1…20 votes -
Allow co-owners (not just owners) to extend auto-expiration date for external collaborators.
The primary reason why we have not enabled the auto-expiration for Collaborators is because only folder Owners will receive notifications of expiring collaborators and links, and only Owners will have the ability to extend the expiration date. In our instance, the Primary BoxAdmin account owns all content (and users are not allowed to create root-level folders, they're only co-owners).
If this ability were extended to Co-Owners, then this enterprise setting would be feasible for us. It has to be up to the co-owners to receive the notifications and determine whether or not to extend the sharing (since they…

Getting Notifications that Don't apply to non-admins
When I logged into Box this morning, I saw the following note in the lower right-hand corner of my home screen.
Your Box account has been growing!
A growing number of users at your company have signed up for Box accounts – exceeding the number seats included in your plan by {{MLDATAOVERAGE_SEATS}}. To adjust this license overage, add seats to your plan using the link below.- We do have seats available
- I am not an admin so this shouldn't be a notification I should receive.

Additional versioning features
Additional features regarding the version history:
- The ability to manually update the version number of a document on initial upload. This would allow existing version numbers to match version numbers tracked in Box.
- The ability to add the version number tracked in Box to the file name when downloading documents. This would eliminate the need to manually update the version number in file names, which could be prone to error.

Enable Enterprise Admin account to hide or disable Content Recovery tab
There is a new function Content Recovery, which has specific usage and limitations regarding its use. It would preferable therefore for the enterprise's main admin account (super co-admin) to be able to disable the function for specific (co-admin) users

Slack notifications for tasks
We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.

Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request, or to change the sender email
Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request. Sometimes the client doesn't recognize the admin person sending the sign request and refuses to sign. It would help to be able to CC their sales rep so the request looks more legitimate.
Alternatively, I'd like the ability to change who the Box Sign email comes from, so the email notification requesting signature can appear to come from the client's sales rep instead of the admin setting up the signature.

ChatGPT connector
Current customer using the ChatGPT plug in with Box and need to prevent the ChatGPT API from triggering a piece of content download notification to the owner of the file or folder. Would there be a way to get the text rep without it being treated as a download, or a way to exclude certain actions from the notification stream?
