Removing Selected Subfolders
I am a software developer, and I use Box so that I can access my code at work and at home. If there is a folder called Project1 with my solution files in it, the act of opening that solution or building that solution will create both a "bin" and an "obj" folder that both contain several hundred megabytes of data that does not need to be sync'ed. When I stop debugging and change the code to run it again, now I have 2 copies of nearly identical data still being pushed up to the cloud and being downloaded by…

Need API to download files from Trashed folders
As of now we can able to download files from Trash, but when we try to download files from the folder that is trashed by user under legalhold, we can't do it. This is a gap in edisocvery process. Can you please publish the API endpoint to download the files from trashed folders as well? We can't tamper the user data.
Same kind of request available in these 2 places well.

Box passwords user experience
Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.
1) Box Drive sign in experience
When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop. This captcha…1 vote -
Improved messaging for "Share" dialog box and handling of Links
I have been using Box for a couple of years and still find the Share function and creation of Links very confusing and non-intuitive. For example, what are "Invited People?" and how are they different than 'People with the Link?" Why have 2 different places to copy the link? One is on the first dialog box and it appears that one takes the viewer to Box.com and they can view or download the file, but then if you click on "Link Settings" adifferent dialog box opens and there is another link you can copy. This one says Direct Link above…

Admin creates an order for the items in a certain folder and when that folder is shared it stays in that order!
When an admin (such as myself) creates an order for the items in a certain folder, and then that folder is shared, it should stay in that order! I have been coming into serious issues with this situation and I really would like box to be able to fix the glitch. It is very frustrating and I have called and emailed numerous amounts of times complaining about it and no one has done anything. For example, I was in my own account and had 3 things in one folder labeled Promo, Part 1, and Part 2. It was in the…

Render InDesign files previews with high quality
When Box creates a preview of Indesign .indd files, placed images are shown in low quality only. This prevents to run correction and approval processes with customers as some image formats aren't rendered at all (white images area), especially images with transparencies and vector images like .ai, .eps, but also .psd.
We are an ad agency and we depend on properly rendered previews.
Is there a way to render the previews in correct quality and resolution without beeing forced to create a PDF instead for approval?i can see two options:
1) create the preview with InDesign server. In this…1 vote -

Correct the wording of 'Prior Versions'
Your Website states that:
The maximum number of prior file versions you can access corresponds to your Box account type:Personal Free - 1 Version
This simply isn't true, and I have argued this in a ticket and with a live agent, but the statement implies you can access a prior version of your file.
Definition of Prior is "earlier in time or order" so this makes your statement false as you cannot access anything but the CURRENT version in the Free version.
I would suggest the wording:
The maximum number of file versions you can access corresponds to your…1 vote -
Add an existing Sign template to a another Sign template
When creating a new Box Sign template, I might need to reference a document that already has been itself converted to a template. I would like to reference the secondary document template in my NEW doc template so I don't have to reassign all the fields that I already created for the secondary template, example:
1. I am creating a template for our NDA, I realize that there's a supplemental secondary document that needs to be added to the package. However, I already HAVE a template for that secondary document....sooo.....
2. Rather than referencing the secondary document, then adding all…1 vote -
Good day. Love Box, it's great. A problem I have is that I have set my "Documents" folder to save to Box "C:\Users\CharlevanRooyen\Box\ITSav

A problem I have is that I have set my "Documents" folder to save to Box "C:\Users\CharlevanRooyen\Box\ITSave\Documents" and it save and sync every thing perfect until I restart or shut town my pc. The next time my pc booted up the file location changed to something ells like "C:\Users\CharlevanRooyen\oldBox2\ITSave\Documents" and it no longer save my files to box automatically. Evert time I start up my pc I need to correct the math by right klick on "Documents" on my pc then select "Properties" then select :Location" then select "Move" then select the…

I'd like to be able to share a link that defaults to open the file in the native app on macOS.
I'm not sure if this is more related to Box Drive or Box Tools, but it seems like it should be possible to open files in their native app rather than in the browser, or even just to open them in the Finder rather than on the web.
Some of the reasons:
1. Lots of people need to know where a file is within the larger heirarchy or get a file path, and it's significantly easier to do that in finder.
2. Lots of people just don't like having to click the extra few times.
3. It's frustrating to be…1 vote -
Enhance Custom Applications for large enterprises
Concerning "Custom Applications" (Admin Console-->Enterprise Settings-->Apps-->Custom Applications), the limits enforced by Box are entirely too low for a large enterprise.
--The dashboard for Custom Applications shows "22 of 25 App User licenses used". However, I only see 10 listed on the page. When I click the arrow icon to advance to page 2, I then see two more. So I can only view 12 of the 22 apps.
--When I click the 3-dot icon to the right of one of the apps to view the menu of actions, then click one of the actions, the view re-positions to the Box…

”Priority" lock feature (There is no way to open an Office file that is being edited online in Box Edit.)
Currently, if a user has a file open in OfficeOnline, that file cannot be opened in Box Edit.
If I want to perform operations that are only possible in the local Excel application (e.g. sheet or macro operations) and a colleague comes home while editing in Online, my work comes to a halt.Can you please implement a priority lock function that works as follows.
1. click "Priority Lock" on a file that someone is editing online.
2. Only the latest version of the target file is copied to the same folder as a separate file with "(1)". After that,…1 vote -
Let user disable shortcut top menu () or load shortcut menu before files listing
Hi everyone,
whenever we user move from one folder to the next, using the web app in a browser, the page load is delayed by the shortcut menu on top. This shortcut menu displays buttons for [Upload][Folder][Word Document][Excel Spreasheet].
The current implementation is sooo annoying, since these four buttons are loaded on page and after the files listing in the directory. Unfortunately this shifts the file list of the directory down on the page each time.
This shifting down the file listing on the page is so annoying for browsing directories, since in that time one can't aim for clicking…

About BoxDrive upload error notification messages
<BoxDrive upload error notification off function added>
Regarding the desktop notification method when a BoxDrive upload error occurs,
From version 2.41 onwards, a message similar to a Windows notification may be displayed.
I would like each user to be able to set whether or not to display the message.supplement:
Since it was not displayed until now, past errors are accumulated,
Since the accumulated amount is displayed as a message, some users may have more than 200 messages displayed, and the messages will be displayed periodically until they are resolved.
Since it will take time to resolve the error, I…1 vote -
Accurate File Count - Script Automation or Access
As I've discussed with the BOX support team, BOX web interface does not display an accurate count of files. We upload thousands of files per day and when the count of files displayed by BOX is not accurate, we assume there was a network glitch and attempt to re-upload the thousands of files which results in unnecessary network bandwidth and computational resources.
The BOX support team has access to a script they run to fix errors in the file count. Until the file count is accurately displayed in the web interface, it would be nice if BOX would automatically run…

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 in their…

When a folder is moved to another folder, user would like to receive a notification when the folder is moved from the folder settings.
I would like to receive notifications in the following three cases.
Notification when a user is moved to another folder. (Reason: Because there are many cases where other users are moved by mistake and there is no way to immediately confirm the move.)
Notification when an error occurs while moving an item. (Reason: To be able to determine the situation in which the move failed so that the next action can be taken more easily.)
3.Notification after the move is completed. (Reason: To be able to confirm that the move is complete, so that it can be judged that the…

I want to use box ai to train my own ai models
I imagine a world where I can create a model and associate it with a metadata set. I think it would work like this.
Create New AI Model. I would put it right next to metadata creation. Let's say I create an AI model called "Analyst Answer". I would associate Analyst Answer with a metadata template.
In the AI Model I would pick the metadata template and then I would assign Independent and Dependent variables from the MetaData Template.
For example,
Independent Metadata Field -
Financial Input 1 (Net Worth) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 2 (Income) - Tag…1 vote
