  1. Select multiple files to copy in a relay

    I would like to be able to select multiple files to copy in a relay at least if they're in the same folder so that I don't have to do each individually

  3. Open files from favorites

    I'd like to be able to open a file directly from the favorites. That way, I avoid a preview (and its access stats by the way). If the file is not locked then it is opened in my local app. That would be really helpful.

  4. display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box

    Since the display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box is dynamically changed in the order of new and updated, it is often difficult to find files/folders, so I would like to change the display order like Windows Explorer.

  5. Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally

    Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.

    For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
    But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.

  6. Transfer ownership of a file

    I was blown away that I can't change the ownership of "files", only folders. We have a user that retired and we need to transfer ownership of all her content to other employees (not just a single employee). Transferring ownership of a "folder" is easy and straightforward.

    Box has a limitation that prevents you from transferring ownership of an individual file. This user has about 40 files at their root of her account (under All Files). The only way to change ownership is to move the file into a folder and then share and change the ownership…

  8. Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files

    Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.

    Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file…

  9. Get the possibility to select multi files to sign with ADOBESign

    Today Box give the possible to use ADOBESign only on an unique file.
    For contracts, I need to add several files for one signature directly from BOX.

  11. Unable to see file/folder/metadata details when viewing deleted files

    Scenario: A user deletes a folder and the admin, from content manager, is looking to quickly see which files were in that folder. Conversely, if a file is deleted, it's not easy to see which folder it was in.

  12. Better rendering of Excel files in EMM

    Word and PowerPoint are basically rendered as PDFs or PostScript files (rather than using iOS built-in quick rendering engine, which does not display formatting and charts well).

    Excel files are still rendered using the iOS engine, which often leaves out crucial charts and doesn't reproduce frozen panes, which are needed to show large Excel files in a more manageable format.

  13. 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。

  14. Manage Folders and Files by Other Users

    I recently noticed that, as an administrator/owner of The Animal League of Green Valley account, I cannot see folders and files deleted by other users.

    This caused a serious problem when a user accidentally deleted a folder and then left for an extended leave.

    I expected to be able to enter "Trash", see the folder and restore it; however, it was not visible to me.

    Fortunately, we were able to contact the user who deleted the folder, and that person was able to restore it, but the situation could have been much worse, disastrous actually.

    It seems to me that…

  15. Edit Locked files when Co-Authoring is turned on by the user trying to edit

    Our workflow uses both coauthoring and often requires locking files to prevent others from editing while in use. The new coauthoring with Office locks out the user that is trying to edit the file. It would be nice to be able to use both when needed. Now, if a user tries to lock a file to prevent access to it while editing, that same user that locked the file is prevented from editing it. Or maybe add an additional option to edit and lock.

  16. Include Path Collection in the result of Event API

    Event API does not include the path collection for updated files. Thus, to get the updated files, another File Info API should be called.
    This situation increases the number of API calls and causes the complexity of the client program and the performance issue.
    Could you include the path collection in Event API results?

  18. auto classification policies/engine to apply scanning of files within a compressed file

    Extend auto classification policies to compressed files (content within the zip) as well and have shield policies be able to enforce rules established for certain classifications. If something inside the unprotected compressed file is detected according to the auto classification policies, apply the same classification to the compressed file so the shield policies are adhered to.

    Without this, shield policies can be bypassed by simply zipping a file that would have triggered shield policy as the scan doesn't currently scan files within the compressed file.

  20. Make Box Drive Mark for Offline (MFO) file accessible when Box Drive not running

    Would like for files in Box Drive that are marked for offline (MFO) to be accessible whether or not Box Drive is currently running (e.g. before Box Drive starts up at login). Currently, offline files are only available after the Box Drive software has loaded -- this poses a problem for files that need to be available at user login time like the user profile files (Desktop/Documents/etc.). Box Sync worked fine for this purpose, but Box Drive MFO does not.
