Initiating Box Sign Requests from AppUser Accounts or Specific Folders
Currently, our firm does not allocate storage space to individual Box user accounts. Instead, we manage storage through AppUser accounts, structured around client matter–centric accounts and folders.
During testing of Box Sign, we observed that sign requests are initiated from individual user accounts, resulting in the creation of a ‘My Signed Documents’ folder within each user’s storage. This approach necessitates allocating storage to individual user accounts for the saving of signed documents, which is inconsistent with our firm’s storage model.
Would it be possible to enhance Box Sign so that the signing process can be initiated from a selected AppUser account or a specified matter–centric folder, rather than defaulting to an individual user account? This would allow signed documents to be stored in the relevant client matter workspace, aligning with our storage and information governance policies.

Expired Shared Link lookup for Admins
Problem: Admins often need to do investigation of files stored in Box and all they have to go off of is the file/folder's shared link.
Many times, users are reaching out to Technical Support because a Shared Link is Expired.
Key Features:
-Provide ability to enter an Expired shared link (standard or vanity URL)
-Information returned after searching:
-File/folder name
-File/folder owner
-File/folder location (Owner -> Folder hierarchy)
-Status (whether the file/folder has been deleted or not)
-Admin-level 'delete' (ability for the admin to delete the file on the spot)CSM filing on behalf of customer

Box AI Describe Changes in File Versions
It would be useful if Box AI was able to tell me what has changes between different versions of documents.
For example, if my coworkers were updating a report or presentation while I was out of the office, it would be great if I could ask Box AI what changes have happened in the past x-number of days to the document to quickly bring me up to speed.

Drag and drop files or use file ID or folder ID
When you want to add single files or folders, it would be great to be able to add them simply using their IDs or dragging them from another Box window

AI Agent model fallback
There are times when a specific AI provider has outages or inconsistencies in service, leading to degraded Box AI Agent performance. It would be good to be able to specify a fallback model in the event of elevated errors to ensure the agent continues to function.

Users should know what they are exposing outside
Is it possible to have a simple page accessible by a user, to get :
- all the shared links he has created (especially open links accessible by anyone outside, with or without password and expirity date)
- and old outside collaborations (with Box accounts needed)
?A lot of users create collaboration and shared links, and many months or years later they don't remember that these parameters are still in place (even if they don't work anymore with those external users).
It is a breach of security, exposing data outside of our company without knowing it (unless we dig in Box reports which takes a long time for admins, and does not inform and responsibilize users).Is it possible to have a simple page accessible by a user, to get :

Improve tenant-wide search function in Content Manager
It is helpful to be able to perform a tenant-wide search where only the content name, or part of it, is known. In the old Content Manager UI, searching by content name without any additional filters yielded much better results than the new Content Manager UI. In the previous UI, a folder or file with the most keywords matching would surface to the top of the results list. In the new UI, even if the content does exist somewhere, without using additional filters to narrow the search, often times irrelevant content is surfaced. Even selecting simple things, like whether it's a file or a folder, or the type of file it is, does not improve the relevance of the results. The added filters in the new UI are very helpful when you know where you're looking for something (ex: what user owns it), but not so helpful for a broad search.

Add collaborators as viewers/uploaders
I have created a workflow to apply to files that need signatures and approvals. If all I needed was approvals, automatically adding the assignees as viewers is fine. I need signatures as well so it would be nice to choose to add the assignees automatically as viewers/uploaders so they can also sign the document.

Unmanaged User feature should be more prominent (UX tweak)
It would be helpful if the Unmanaged Users management feature was more prominent. when trying to add a new managed user, if a matching unmanaged user already exists, an error is displayed and no other information given. I had to fumble to figure out why, partly because the feature isn't obvious. Suggestion: change the External Users tab name to External & Unmanaged Users, and add an Unmanaged Users button next to External users. Or, simply display them all but with the unmanaged users highlighted somehow. It is non-intuitive partly because external is interpreted as 'non-company domain'. So there wasn't the presumption that unmanaged users would be found under the external users tab.

Assign Relay attribute to service account or Box
As Admin, I created a Relay for a specific team with less exposure and familiarity with Box. When folders are created in this Relay, and files are renamed and moved into those folders, I am listed as the user who "last updated" these folders/files. But questions arise as these are sensitive documents and the real owners are surprised to see my name associated to them.
It would be great if I could attribute Relay actions to Box, or to a service account, so that it's clear that I personally haven't altered the documents, for audit purposes.

Online Collaboration Breaks Functionality
If you accidentally open any file in online Microsoft office, you can no longer delete the file or open it locally because it will be forever stuck in "online collaboration mode". This is MADDENING behavior because the only apparent way to undo this is to copy the original file to another folder and delete the original folder with the original document that is now locked in document purgatory. Box should NEVER lose ownership of the file, even if its opened in online MS office.

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!

Consider making sections of a Box Hub linkable so you can share a specific section with a user’s instead of the entire hub.
It would helpful to make specific areas of a Hub linkable to highlight specific sections. Thank you.

Retention policies should lift automatically even if disposition action is set to "none"
Retention policies should be lifted automatically at the end of the retention period. Currently, if the disposition action is set to "none" the folder will not be released from the policy even though the folder will be able to be deleted. This is very confusing and requires manual work on the admin's part to determine if the retention period is up on a folder and if it is able to be deleted.
Alternately, build retention as a trigger into Relay/Workflows as mentioned in a different idea so that the Relay can automatically take the folder out of retention when the period is up.

Cannot permanently delete a file with a retention policy before its expiration date (immediately)
Please enable immediate deletion for files that have a retention policy set for a specific period.
Additionally, there is an issue where files remain accessible via shared links until the retention policy period expires, so we would like to request implementation of a feature that disables shared links for items that meet specific conditions.

Filter on multiple text values in text data type
Currently, a metadata field needs to already be a multiselect to use the Match Any to allow form multiple match cases for a given metadata field. If the data type is a text field you and only match on one value.
Essential, we would like to be able to create an OR conditional match on multiple values for a text field when querying metadata in a Box App View.
4 votesPlease note that filtering by multiple text values across all the metadata is already possible in Box Apps, either with the Natural Language Query (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48755807432211-AI-powered-search-and-filtering-in-Box-Apps) or using "OR" in the keyword search.
