Convert XML to CSV / Excel
I have several XML files that I need to convert into CSV and Excel format for reporting purposes, but I’m not sure what the safest and easiest method is. Some free online tools I tested either fail with larger XML files or don’t preserve the data structure properly after conversion.
I also looked into manual methods, but they seem too time-consuming for bulk files. My main concern is converting the XML data accurately into rows and columns without losing any information.
Can anyone suggest:
- The best way to convert XML to CSV and Excel?
- Whether manual conversion is reliable for large XML files?
- Any trusted XML converter tool that supports bulk conversion?
Before trying any solution, I’d like to hear some real user suggestions or recommendations.

Add PKCE Support for OAuth2 Applications
Currently, Box requires developers to use a client secret for OAuth 2.0 apps, which in turn requires standing up and maintaining a backend service just to exchange authorization codes securely.
While this is secure, it creates a huge amount of friction for developers who want to build modern, client-side applications such as single-page apps (SPAs) or mobile apps. In many cases, the only reason a backend exists is to hold a secret, nothing else.
If Box supported PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange), developers could authenticate directly from the client without needing a backend at all, just as they can with platforms like Microsoft Entra, Google Identity, and Okta.
This would dramatically reduce time to market, lower costs for developers, and make Box much easier to integrate into modern front-end-first workflows.
Example Scenario
A developer wants to build a React-based file manager using Box APIs.
Under the current model, they must:- Deploy a backend to safely store the client secret.
- Manage hosting, scaling, and security for that backend.
- Build and maintain the OAuth exchange logic.
With PKCE, none of that is necessary. The developer could securely authenticate directly from the browser, accelerating development and reducing costs.

Remove Filter option for Box Apps View
We have a use case where we want to restrict a view so that users can only see verified items in a view from a Box App. No matter how the App is shared, users are always able to change the underlying filters and see items that are not verified. It would be great if there was a setting in the view that turns off the ability for viewers to change the filters and only restrict to the visible filters. Image shows the filters we want them to be able to edit, the "All filters" is no required.

Integrated Chat Functionality (Native to Box)
Our audience is mostly external partners, all who use disparate communication platforms like Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Zoom, etc. Integrating a single third-party chat option into our Box Hubs environment risks alienating some of our external partners who are unable to use that specific platform due to their organization’s IT guidelines. It would be beneficial to have a native, lightweight and persistent chat area within our Box Hubs environment (maybe as a side panel similar to Box AI) that would allow users to communicate immediately about content and projects and ask questions without having to leave the Box environment.

the search option is so messed up now. I am spending so much time looking for the exact folder and files I need to locate
The search option prior to 2 weeks ago was perfect. I am not sure what changed but My whole team is pending countless time on each search. please reset it to that prior setting. Or tell us how to do that. Why does all that other stuff show up before the folder with just what I am looking for?

Ability to change delete and transfer folder description
Currently, after a user is deleted and their content is transferred, the folder their content is transferred to has a Folder Description that reads: "This folder contains files previously owned by <user>, and were transferred to you by your enterprise administrator. If you have any questions, please contact <Name and Email Address of Enterprise Admin>."
Since many large customers don't have a single user monitoring the enterprise Admin email, it would make more sense for them to be able to edit this description to include their internal support helpdesk email alias instead of the primary admin

Upload Files from Windows desktop directly into a Box Hubs
The workflow in mind is that I'll be able to directly upload content from my desktop (currently windows) into a Box Hub directly. Having an option to include files from my desktop as well as options to include Box content can provide a much more seamless experience for end users and ensure they can build Hubs more quickly rather than needing a set folder structure before adding to Box Hubs

Deleted Shared Link Lookup Tool
In the same manner as below, we'd like the capability to search for disabled shared links as well. Currently, there's no way to locate files if the shared links have expired or become inactive.

Ability to Select the AI Processing Region
We would like to request the ability to select the region where AI processing is performed.
Some customers in Japan — especially in regulated industries — require that AI processing be executed within the Japan region as a prerequisite for using AI features.To drive broader AI adoption among financial institutions and other highly regulated customers, this capability is essential.

Multiple Metadata Template Search Views
Allow Search Views to be built that search across more than one metadata template so that queries and conditions across metadata attributes from multiple templates can be used all in one view.

Improve external users admin page
We're constantly adding and removing external users, and the list can get quite long. Unfortunately, the columns are not sortable - or expandable. This seems like an easy win!

Ability to customise the content of the notification emails
Currently, Box does not offer the ability to customize the content of the notification emails sent when sharing a link or inviting a collaborator. The email notifications are standardized and cannot be modified to include additional instructions or guidance.
We are seeing an increase in clients reporting difficulties accessing links and files shared via Box. To help mitigate this, we would like to include additional guidance within the notification emails sent to recipients at the point of sharing.
