Auto-Generated/System Generated Folder Creation via API
Currently, if your enterprise settings have the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting as enabled, it also stops any root level folders appearing that are generated by Box, such as the "My Sign Requests folder"
My understanding is that this folder's existence makes it so a user doesn't have to specify a folder for the sign request to go into. However, the lack of this folder existing makes it so that you do need to specify a folder for each request. We have many users who would prefer that all of their sign requests are present in the same folder, that leaves me with two current options:
1) Make a new folder for everyone; as well as any future users who get provisioned
2) Perform the following actions for everyone that we want the folder to exist for:a) Perform a managed log in for an affected user
b) Start a Sign Request
c) Back out of the request to generate the folder
d) Log out of the managed log in instanceThen after performing that for everyone, we would re-enable the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting again.
It would have been ideal if we could use the API to generate any of these types of system-generated folders, such as My Sign Requests, My Box Notes, My Canvases, etc. even if the root level creation is restricted to admins.

I would like to be able to adjust the width of items and reorder them on the report status screen.
When checking the report status screen, the author's name and report type are omitted, which is inconvenient. I would like it to allow changing the display width of items to make it easier to check. Also, I want a feature that lets you click on item names to sort items other than the last update date.

Automating Document Creation via Dynamic Table Generation with Forms & Doc Gen
[Request]
Enable Dynamic Table Generation When Creating Documents with Forms + Doc Gen[Customer Use Case]
The headquarters IT department wants to automate the monthly task of issuing invoices for system usage fees to the group’s local subsidiaries.[Customer Needs]
They want to implement the following workflow as a web-based solution without custom development.- Enter invoice data per subsidiary via Forms
- Generate the invoice with Doc Gen
- Send a signature request to the manager via Box Sign
- After the manager signs, move the document to the shared folder with the local subsidiary
At present, this could be achieved by using the Doc Gen API, but that would require application development, which is a significant hurdle for the customer.
If the above can be done on the web without custom development, they believe it could be reused in other scenarios and accelerate broader business process automation.
=====================================================
[要望]
Forms + Doc Gen でドキュメント生成する際に動的なテーブルを生成できるようにしてほしい。［顧客のユースケース］
本社 IT 部門が、グループ内の現地法人に対してシステム利用料の請求書を毎月発行する作業を自動化したい。［顧客のニーズ］
以下の業務プロセスをカスタム開発なしの Web ベースのワークフローとして実現したい。- Forms で法人ごとに請求書データを入力
- Doc Gen で請求書を生成
- Box Sign で上司に署名リクエストを送信
- 上司の署名完了後、現地法人との共有フォルダにドキュメントを移動
現状、Doc Gen API を使えば実現可能だが、アプリケーション開発が必要になり、顧客にとってハードルが高い。
上記が Web ベースで実現できれば、他の業務シーンにも横展開でき、顧客の業務自動化を加速できると考えている。[Request]

image preview of a file when uploaded to forms
We wanted to do a 'final asset quality approval' workflow utilising Box Forms... but because Forms doesn't have the capacity to show a small thumbnail image of what's been uploaded, and after a meeting with PM it doesn't sound like this is coming anytime soon, we are going to use Jotform instead and integrate it. It's a shame as it would've been a great e-advanced use case. Can we get image previews of assets uploaded to Box Forms?

Redundant Shield alerts
Box Shield should be able to recognize when the same file or file set appears in multiple locations and treat it as a single item, rather than generating duplicate alerts across each instance. This would allow users to acknowledge (or dismiss) an alert globally—once for all occurrences—rather than having to clear it separately for every flagged file.

ability to format number field in metadata display to show fixed number of decimal places and commas
Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.

Add metadata to files uploaded via a box form.
We are using box forms, doc gen and relay to create construction site walks summaries. We then use Box Extract to add metadata to the summary. Part of the site walk is uploading photos of issues found during the walk. I would like to be able to apply metadata from the summary to any photos uploaded from the same form. It would be things like the Property Name, Date of Site Walk and Who took the photos. Since all of these vary from one site walk to the next, I don't know of a way to, other than manually or with API's, of applying this data to a photo.

File Request Confirmation to the Email Address Added
When a File Request is completed the person who uploads should also receive a email confirmation when they enter their email address. Currently it is only going to the person who set up the File Request link.

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.

Ability to Reassign Group Admin Permissions En Masse
Via the GUI, it would be great to be able to reassign group admin permissions to a user for multiple groups in bulk. Use case is one user is admin for many internal groups, they leave the org, and their admin role requires replacement.

Create Doc Gen templates from Excel.
I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from Excel documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

Feature Request: Increase Prompt Length Limit for AI Ask Prompt API
Hi Box Team,
We are using the AI Ask Prompt API (post-ai-askprompt), and the current 10,000-character prompt length limit is proving to be too restrictive for practical AI use cases.
Reference: https://developer.box.com/reference/post-ai-askprompt
Many scenarios—such as working with long documents, adding sufficient context, or giving detailed instructions—require longer prompts. With the current limit, important context must be truncated, which often reduces response quality.
Request: Increase the maximum prompt length
Expanding this limit would significantly improve the usability and value of Box AI for developers and enterprise workflows.
Thank you for considering this feedback.

Export objects from Box Canvas
It has become very convenient to be able to export the entire Box Canvas as a PNG file.
However, it would be even more useful if individual objects on the Canvas could be copied and pasted into PowerPoint as separate objects.

We would like the "Share" UI for web collaboration to be improved.
Currently, the options for inviting users and generating a shared link are on the same screen, which can be confusing for users.
Please separate the invitation and shared link issuance into clearly distinct screens.

The locking feature in Box for Microsoft Office
Collaborative editing is convenient, but there is a need to prevent others from making edits while someone is making important changes. In Box for Microsoft Office, I would like a feature that allows me to explicitly lock a document while I am editing it, in order to prevent editing conflicts or unintended overwrites by other users during collaborative editing.
共同編集は便利ですが、誰かが重要な修正をしている間は他の人の編集を防ぎたいというニーズがあります。
Box for MicrosftOfficeで共同編集中に、他のユーザーによる編集競合や意図しない上書きを防ぐため、自分が編集しているときは明示的にロックできる機能が欲しいです。11 votes -
AI Summarize document content capability for Signers
Hi Box Team,
We would love to see Box AI integrated directly into the Box Sign experience for signers.
Currently, if an executive or legal rep wants to summarize a contract or check key terms before signing, they have to download the document and upload it to a separate AI tool. This creates extra steps and pulls them entirely out of the Box ecosystem.
Bringing Box AI into the signer view would allow users to securely review documents without leaving the workflow. It would also help Box Sign match industry standards set by platforms like DocuSign, where native AI review is quickly becoming the expectation.
