Request for improvement of behavior when posting a shared link of a Box folder in a Teams channel or chat
When you post a Box shared link in a Teams channel or chat, you'll see a Grant Access card with the option to grant users additional permissions if the following conditions are true:
condition：If there are channel members or chat members who do not have access permissions to the shared folder or file.
＊This includes channel members and chat members who are invited as a group but not directly invited as users.The support article states that when you grant access, the card will update and a content card with file details will be displayed.
However, when you post a …3 votes -

A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder
Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?
Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?
Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?
A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This…

Allow Bluegroups for centrally managing membership across various box folders for teams.
Every team has multiple Box folders that they use for various purposes. It could be great if BOX could connect with Bluegroups. That way the membership can be added or deleted in one Bluegroup rather than across multiple box folders.

Controlling the Visibility of External Collaboration Folders in Box Drive via Admin Settings
We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console.
[Background]
When using Box Drive, the following security risks exist:
・Risk of data leakage due to user error: Files or folders may be accidentally dragged and dropped into external collaboration folders.
・Risk of ransomware spreading to external tenants: If a user falls victim to ransomware, the encryption attack may also affect external collaboration folders belonging to other companies.[Details]
We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the…5 votes -

Set default file view and sort options by folder (and all sub folders for that folder)
Ideally, let an owner or editor of a folder set the default view (list or grid) and sort order of the files.
The system default appears to be by date the file was updated which is rarely (if ever) what our users want.
Re: view options: For photos especially, the list view is rarely the preferred view.
Additionally, with the grid view, allow the size of the image also be set as a default.
This may not be an admin console enhancement. I think it needs to be a under More when you’re looking a a folder.

Folder color and icon customization
Current UI, it is not easy to recognize which folder is important in visually.
If we can customize folder color and icon by importance, it is going to be easy to discriminate between folders and it is improve security.41 votes -
Option to send notifications when a change is made to a shared file
Have an option to send notifications whenever a change is made to a shared file. I don't want this for every file all the time, but in certain situations this is very helpful - for example, when I'm asking people to add information to an Excel sheet.

shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
The URL is meaningless to the end user and the file path would create an easier way to return to the same document and recognize where it is saved3 votes -
Want to be able to add file request to folders via Zapier
Now you have a dedicated File Request API, it'd be great if I could add File Requests to folders via Zapier (which I use to automate the creation of folders). And then also to get back the File Request URL so can make that part of my workflow.
At a very minimum, you should be able to export a list of all folders and their associated File Request links so that I do not have to copy each one individually after bulk creating folders and bulk adding a File Request to each!

Governance, Retention policy for folders with no content
hen a retention policy removes files, it's possible to end up in a situation where there is a very long list of folders without any files. It would be helpful if there was a way to remove these folders quickly.

Collaborators Page - Add 'Common Folders' Column Back to Page
In Legacy, the Collaborators page had a column called "Common Folders" that told me (as a user) which folders I was collaborating in with the given user.
In Amsterdam, this column was removed, meaning the page only tells me WHO I'm collaborating with, but not WHERE I'm collaborating with them (aka in which folders)...which makes the page FAR less useful.
REQUEST: Add the 'Common Folders' (or something similar) column back to the Collaborators page so that the page can tell me both
1. Who I'm collaborating with across my entire account
AND
2. Where I'm collaborating with…7 votesInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Google Workspace - Add Collaborators/Check for Collaborators
The Google Workspace add-on only allows you to create a Shared Link to share files/folders, you cannot add/remove collaborators. It would be great to have the ability to add folks as collaborators, rather than just choosing from Shared Link settings. Additionally, it would be great if when sharing the file it could be recognized that recipients on the email and/or calendar invite do not have existing permissions to the file/folder (similar to what Google does.)

Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names
Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.
Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.
Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

Box Shield Alert for Anomalous Deletion of Folders or Data
We would like an alert to be created if a user deletes an anomalous amount of data. We recently had an employee leave the company under bad terms and found that before we could let her go, she had deleted a bunch of folders from Box. We were able to recover them, but this would be an indicator (much like anomalous download alerts) that something is up with this employee and we should be digging in deeper.
