  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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:

    1. Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
    2. Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
    3. Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
    4. Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
    5. Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. Request for Improvement of the “People with the Link” Feature in Box

    Request for Improvement of the “People with the Link” Feature in Box

    We would like to request the following improvements to the “People with the link” option within Box’s Share Link feature, which is used to grant viewing or downloading access to folders or files for organisations or email addresses that do not have a Box account or existing folder permissions.

    At present, requiring the link creator to manually set a password is rather cumbersome, and as a result, many users choose not to do so. Since there is no enforcement mechanism, some organisations restrict or even prohibit the use…

  15. Google Workspace Add-on - Remove Collaborators

    When a customer uses the Google Workspace Add-on (either clicking the Box icon in Google Drive to move a Google document to Box OR using the Gmail integration) and that document has Collaborators who were added in Google, then Box will emails all those Collaborators invites to the new Box folder. Multiple customers have complained about this.

    For my customer, Coursera, their main content storage solution is Google. Only the Legal Team uses Box for retention. When the Legal Team moves a file from GDrive to Box, it then sends Collaboration requests to all Google Collaborators on the file (many…

  16. Add tag support for OSX files in Box Drive

    File color labels (tags) in OSX do not work on Box Drive.

    Competing cloud storage platforms (like Dropbox) easily handle this.

    In a MacOS team production workflow, tags are essential for production processes. Labels allow effortless communication to other team members on the status of file production. This is an industry-standard way of working which is totally broken in Box Drive.

    Please review the many MANY past requests for this feature in these forums. It is a long-standing issue that deserves attention!

  17. Out of office notice

    Hi,
    it would be nice if we received messages about out of office notes or e-mail errors (wrong address) for invitations and, for example, workflows. At the moment I don't know if someone just didn't respond or didn't receive the invitation / task.
    Best regards

  18. Adds the ability to hide the notifications that appear when you open an auto-locked file on a box drive for all tenant users.

    Tenants that automatically lock files in Box Drive will be notified that when another user opens a file that is already open from Box Drive, the file will be locked and opened in read-only mode.
    Add the ability to hide this notification for the entire tenant.

  19. multiple users in one document

    Create a notification that pops up inside the document when two users have the same document open and when one user makes changes. This feature is in Drop Box and helps cut down on multiple versions of the same document being saved.

  20. 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…
