Slack: Sync 'Comments' on Files Between Box & Slack
Right now, when using the Box + Slack integration, Slack imports a 'pointer' to a Box file (when a shared link is posted), and then keeps that file's search index updates based on changes that happen in Box.
REQUEST: Extend this integration further to sync any Comments made on the file between Box and Slack.
In Slack, I can add a Comment to the imported Box file by clicking 'add comment', and in Box I can 'add Comment' -- it'd be nice if the comment added to the file directly in Slack also synced and was added automatically as a…

Remove restrict files sharing within Folder Settings
We would like to remove a folder setting option that restricts sharing for files only or folders only

Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters
Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them
Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them
We have a lot of users that access large spreadsheets and projects from their cloud drive when they would have good productivity gains if they had the file synced locally and worked on it that way. Would it be possible to build intelligence into Box Drive that could suggest best practices like synching large files that need to be accessed frequently?

While we don’t have any current plans to support this feature, I would recommend the following workaround to use the ‘Description’ field that appears at the top of a folder. You can even add hyperlinks into the description! More information is available here: https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Migrating-and/Adding-Descriptions-to-Folders-and-Files/ta-p/58565

Delete button too close to Download button when multiple files are selected for download.
The Delete button too close to Download button when multiple files are selected for download. Moving the Delete button to between the Tags & Move / Copy buttons would prevent arrent clicks on the wrong button.

Return collaborated files (single file collab SFC) under a folder via API
Currently, there are two API calls surrounding getting a list of collaborations:
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#view-a-folders-collaborations
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-file-collaborationsHowever, say a collaborated file exists under a non-collaborated/private folder. Now say the folder is large. It would be less easy to get a list of collaborated files under this folder without iterating through every single file.

I want you to be able to print for each headline of BoxNotes.
I want you to be able to print for each headline of BoxNotes.
If one note has the following three items as headings,
◉Future schedule
◉Issue management
◉Questions for business partnersI would like to share all three items within the company, so I will write them in a note.
I would like to print out the third question, ``Questions for business partners,'' as it will be used during meetings with business partners.1 vote -

Add description option to 'All files' level to give information/instruction to users
Requesting a description section to allow for information that would always show at the top of the 'All files' view. Potential uses:
- Basic info for new users, pinned to screen they see after login
- Guidance and company updates that could be changed as required
- (Where folder/upload is restricted at 'All files' level) Instruction for users about where to create content1 vote -

Allow me to link to other folders and files in box
I can create a bookmark to another folder in box, but the experience and visualisation of these is not useful - links to folders get lost in the file list.
Bookmarks to other folders in box, should be listed as a folder, not a file, perhaps with a different icon to show they are linked folders rather than hierarchic folders.

Run User Activity Report with API
We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.145 votes -
Box/MS Teams integration - prevent native file sharing
Need to add an explanation to the webpage on integrating the Box app with MS Teams:
Box file sharing is not practical in Teams if users are still able to attach files using the built-in Sharepoint capabilities of Teams. Box needs to explain how to turn off the native file sharing in Teams, thereby forcing users to use Box.
Apparently, there is a way to turn off the ability for teams to create SP doc libraries.

BOX SHIELD - Block all applications from downloading content
The following feature is redundant:
Block all applications from downloading content - No integrated applications (except Microsoft Office for the web, Google Workspace, Apple iWork, and Adobe Acrobat Online) or published custom applications will be able to download content protected by the access policy.
I thought the purpose of Box Shield was to protect organizations from data breaches????
We have configured everything within our box account to prevent certain data from being download or printed. However, Box gives our users the option to open these confidential files in Adobe Acrobat which then allows them to download, print, and…

Preview Movie Files Without The Need To Render
Video files are taking a long time to render. We would either like there to be a file format that e can create before uploading files that will stream on Box without the need for a render. Or have the render start immediately once the upload of a video file is complete.

Allow us to change sharing settings on multiple "image" files at once!
It's a HUGE pain in Box. You put 20 or 30 images into a Box note, and you want to share that note with someone at your company, but outside the team that has access to that folder. You must MANUALLY click every single image, open sharing settings, change to "View to anyone at my company".
If Box could just make it so that if we change the sharing settings on the folder containing the images, all the images would have the same sharing settings, OR allow a multiselect of images to change sharing settings for all images at once,…

Allow naming files before uploading on box mobile
My company previously used Box Capture to record videos of our packed product before going out the door to customers. This helped identify skids if lost by the carrier, as well as identify products reported missing by customers. This worked really well for us for many years.
However, Box Capture is no longer supported and "all of the functionality" was supposed to be available with Box Mobile. However, there is one issue that we immediately discovered is different and is costing us extra time. With Box Mobile, you have to upload the video to Box, then go back into the…
