2. Add filter function to Event API to limit the result by specifying a path collection

   Event API result is a list of all updated files in an "entire" site.
   For enterprise use-cases, the volume of this returned data is inevitably very large.
   Thus, even if a part of site needs to be monitored, the network bandwidth is consumed unnecessarily and it casues the performance issue.
   Could you add a filter function to Event API so that the API returns only events related to the files in the specified path collection?
    
   This is the API asking to enhance

3. Make files preview in mobile without user registration like Dropbox

   Make files preview on mobile Box, without user registration. Currently, customers need to download the box app just to view any file I send as shared link. This is not an issue with Dropbox. With the majority of people using their mobile phones this would be a good idea, do you agree?

4. Allow Users to 'Remove' all files from their BOX Drive as a right-click command

   It would be nice, instead of logging out of BOX Drive on my personal computer to 'remove' all files on my personal device (so anything that was cached or downloaded). Instead of having to 'log out' of the BOX drive app.

5. Box Drive search for specific folder

   Currently there is not way to search for a folder name offline. All you can search for is a file name. This can be problematic if you have multiple files with the same name, but just in different locations. Suggest being able to search for file name and then open file.

7. Ability to restore/delete files only by Box tenant administrators

   【Background】
   Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the company's policy will be changed.
   The policy will be to erase unnecessary data after a specific period of time.
   This policy change will also cover data residing in personal Bin.

   Currently, as a specification of Box, if an item in the Bin is maliciously "deleted from the Bin" or if data is automatically deleted from the Bin after a certain period of time, it will be unrecoverable after 14 days.
   We would like to set up a specification like "Archive function of the Bin" so that we can restore the files in case of emergency.

   【Request】
   After a certain period of time, please implement an "Archive function for the Bin" that does not appear in the personal recycle Bin, but only allows Box tenant administrators to restore/delete.
   We would like to see a Bin feature that can only be restored/deleted by Box tenant administrators, not by individuals.

   【背景】
   個人情報保護法の改正により、会社の方針が変更になります。
   特定の期間経過後に不要なデータを消去する方針になる予定です。
   この方針変更は、個人のごみ箱に存在するデータも対象となります。

   現在は、Boxの仕様として、ごみ箱内のアイテムが悪意を持って「ごみ箱から削除」された場合や、一定期間経過後に自動的にごみ箱から削除されたデータは、14日経過後に復元不可能となります。
   「ごみ箱のArchive機能」のような仕様を設け、いざとなった場合に復元対応ができるようにしたいと考えています。

   【ご要望】
   一定期間経過後、個人のごみ箱には表示されないが、Boxテナント管理者のみ、復元/削除の操作が可能な「ごみ箱のArchive機能」を実装してください。
   個人では操作はできないが、Boxテナント管理者のみが復元/削除できるごみ箱の機能が欲しいです。

8. 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.

9. Not a fan of the new main screen

   Hi - not a fan of the large blue column at the left - it now blocks when I try to do a print screen of files - I could open up a file and print screen the list within that file - now it blocks a good portion of the left side - so I can't see/print screen in formation.

10. Option to default new Office files to web editor without disabling Box Edit

    Currently, when Box Edit is installed/enabled, newly created Word/Excel files in Box open automatically in the desktop app, interrupting workflows for users who prefer the web editor (like me at SMRU Consulting). Disabling Box Edit fixes this but removes desktop editing entirely, which isn't ideal.

    Requested Feature:

    Add a setting to default newly created Office files to open in Microsoft 365 for Web, while keeping Box Edit active for existing files or manual "Open in desktop" choices.

    Bonus: A prompt on creation ("Open in web / desktop?") for flexibility.

    Why It Matters:

    Streamlines workflows for web-first users without sacrificing Box Edit.

    Prevents unwanted desktop launches, especially with Box Drive installed.

    Improves productivity in enterprise setups like ours (multi-TB marine consulting folders).

    Workaround Issues:
    Disabling Box Edit works but blocks desktop access for Office/non-Office files – not viable for all users.

    Please add this to the roadmap! Happy to provide more details or test betas.

12. Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview

    I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.

    examples:

    myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt

    .json as .txt
    .funky as .md

    I say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

14. Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin

    For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
    ・Folders with online status
    ・Folders with downloaded status
    ・Files with downloaded status

    One of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
    However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.

    We feel that the fact that data supposedly deleted on Box Drive in reality still remains locally (in the Recycle Bin) undermines the value of using Box Drive. We are concerned that, after opting in, this results in a state where the overall security level is effectively reduced.

    Additionally, items moved to the Recycle Bin can be restored locally (e.g., to the desktop), which results in an extremely inadequate security situation. Therefore, we would like the behavior to be the same as in environments where opt-out is disabled, so that items are not moved to the local Recycle Bin.

    新しいアーキテクチャのBox Driveでは、主に以下に該当するアイテムを削除すると、ローカルとBoxWebのごみ箱に移動する挙動を確認しています。
    ・ステータスがオンラインのフォルダ
    ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのフォルダ
    ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのファイル

    Boxを利用する顧客の理由の一つとして、セキュリティー向上（情報漏洩防止）のため「データは極力ローカルには保存しない」運用を期待する部分がありますが、ローカルのごみ箱に移動されたアイテムに対しては、Boxで設定しているごみ箱の削除ポリシーが利かなくなると思われます。
    Box Drive上で削除したはずのデータが、事実上まだローカル上に残る（ごみ箱に残る）状態は、Box Driveを利用する意味が薄くなってしまうと感じており、オプトイン後は「セキュリティーレベルが低下した」状態になってしまうという懸念があります。

    また、ごみ箱に移動したアイテムはローカル（デスクトップ等）に復元することも可能となってしまいセキュリティが極めて不十分な状況に陥っているため、オプトアウト無効の環境と同じようにローカル上のごみ箱には移動しないようにしてほしいです。

16. Consolidate User and Event Log Files

    I am currently downloading Box event log files for my company and am seeing instances where the User Event log and the Admin Event log have holes in their data.

    For instance, User Event Log is giving us fields such as item path (path_collection) and file/folder description, but it is not including field data such as IP address.
    Conversely, Admin Event Log is giving us IP address, but not item path or file/folder description.

    We are trying to prevent duplication of data on our end, so we would like to be able to use one log or the other; however, with data not being consistent across both of those logs we are not able to choose one log to report.

    It would be beneficial to have all of the data either consolidated into one event log, or to have data brought into each log that currently isn't available.

17. Add ability to batch rename multiple files

    I'd like to be able to select all contents of a folder (ex. images taken by a particular photographer at an event) and standardize all file names (ex. EventPhotographer Name (1), EventPhotographer Name (2),...)
    This is simple to do in Windows Explorer, but I really do not want to download and then re-upload for something so minor!

18. We'd like Box Agent to reference not only the files but also the text information within the Hub site

    Before Box AI Home was released, when we asked the AI a question, it would reference not only the files linked within the Hub but also the text information on the site. However, after enabling AI Home and asking questions to the Box Agent in Hub, it now only references the content linked to the Hub. I would also like it to reference the text information (such as the descriptions written on the Hub site).

20. File size limits for File Request uploads

    We have tried using the File Request to encourage our supply chain to upload files directly from our filing system on Box instead of using unathorised file transfer services, however it frequently fails due to file size. I note in the FAQ that the maximum file upload size is limited by that permitted by the content submitter - it would be more useful if the file upload size was based by that permitted by our account as the organisation requesting the file. As the File Request service also doesn't permit uploading of folders, this often means our content submitters have to upload a zip file which may exceed the file size permitted for their account, discouraging them from using it.
