  1. Customize watermark to include version, update date

    I’d like to use the watermark or a similar feature to print the Version Number and Last Update Date on PowerPoint and PDF files. I understand you can view this in Version History, but I’d like to see it super-imposed on the content.

  2. Batch preview of multiple files

    When a large number of documents are sent from other users, it is currently necessary to open each document one by one.
    When a large number of files are opened at the same time, it takes time to open them, which is inefficient.
    We would like to have the ability to “preview” selected documents at once.

    --日本語訳--
    タイトル:複数ファイルの一括プレビュー

    他のユーザーから大量の文書が送られてきた場合、現状では1つ1つの文書を開く必要がある。
    多数のファイルを同時に開くと、開くのに時間がかかり、効率が悪い。
    選択した文書を一度に「プレビュー」できる機能が欲しい。

  3. Attach files directly in Outlook (iOS/Android) with the Box for Outlook integration

    You should be able to use the native Outlook attach file option to add Box files into Outlook emails on iOS and Android.

    It seems like a real oversight to lock down Intune and block saving to OneDrive, locally on the phone etc. and then give users a terrible experience where they try and attach a file to an email and there's no available location to get files from and instead you have to go into Box first and share the link from there.

  4. Select multiple properties in files, and create interface like Spotify / Apple Music

    Hi Box support and community,
    France suggested I suggest here for the following ideas.

    Is there a way to make a selection of MP3 files all the same properties, ie. all end the same date, etc. ?

    Also, After making MP3 files, Can Box make a layout of music files like Spotify or Apple music ? I am working on placing my music on a WordPress site and want it to look similar and nice looking, since I already have those two services on the same webpage. (I hope so).

    These are the suggestions. I have these options through…

  5. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  6. "Last Modified By" criteria as an option within Folder and Files report

    Why isn't "Last Modified By" criteria an option within Folder and Files report? This information should automatically included. It doesn't make sense why we can't query this information.

  10. Lock files when editing them from a shared link that all users can edit.すべてのユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクからファイル編集を行う際にファイルをロックをする。

    When editing from a shared link that can be edited by a user who does not have editing or access permissions, the file is not locked when starting the edit.
    Therefore, when saving files on Box, duplicate files with the same name are created.
    To avoid this behavior, I would like to be able to lock files even if users do not have editing privileges.

    (日本語)
    編集権限およびアクセス権限を持たないユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクから編集する際に編集開始時にファイルにロックがかけられません。
    したがって、Box上にファイルを保存する際に重複して同一の名前のファイルが作成される動作となります。
    この動作を避けるため、編集権限を持たないユーザーでもファイルロックをかけられるようにして欲しいです。

  11. Currently the Adobe Sign integration with Box produces multiple files for each stage of the sign process instead of saving 1 single file

    Currently the Adobe Sign integration produces multiple files for each stage of the sign process (e.g. sent, in-progress, complete). It would be great if those files could be versions of a single file.

  15. Allow Custom Terms of Service feature on specific folders/files

    Currently, this feature is only allowed at the account level, but if an enterprise account serves multiple internal and external user groups that may require different ToS, the feature becomes useless. Please consider a simple feature to allow custom ToS for specific folders or files. Thanks!

  16. Quarantined Files - View Folder Path

    Currently an admin looking at the Quarantine section of Content Manager is not shown any information about where the file was attempted to be uploaded, which is also where the file will exist if the admin clicks 'restore' (approves) the file.

    REQUEST: Provide location information for quarantined files such as the folder path, owner, uploader, etc. This information is already in the policy violation email that's sent to admins, so it should also be available in Content Manager.

    We are not currently making any vast improvements on quarantine in the short term. This is still helpful. We will reconsider it when working on this feature area.

  17. Open read-only in BoxDrive

    Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
    Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

    -in Japanese-
    ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
    読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

    Box Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.

    Here are a few possible workarounds:

    • Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
    • Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
    • Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

  19. Searching for Folders and Moving files

    Ever since the platform updated, it has become very difficult to move a file to a new folder by searching the folder name. I can search for the exact name of the folder and get a whole bunch of other files that aren't even close matches to the folder name. Before the changes we had no problem finding the correct folder.

    I am primarily talking about our 30 INVOICES PAID folder. This folder probably contains several hundred folders for each of the vendors that we use, with additional folders for each year. If I want to move an invoice into…

  20. Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved

    We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.

    【Details】
    Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
    For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
    In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the…

    Unfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.
