Add a “comment visibility” option in Link Settings
In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.
Currently, when a shared link is set to a non-edit permission such as Can view only (or Can view and download), comments aren’t visible to viewers. Even for non-edit shared links, we want viewers to be able to view timestamped comments on videos, since this feature is extremely useful.
Use case: We publish videos on Box Hubs and share them externally using People with the link (Can view only). If viewers could see comments, we could point them to specific parts of the video more efficiently.（日本語）
「共有リンクの設定」で、コメント閲覧可否を設定したいです。
現状、共有リンクが「表示のみ」（または「表示およびダウンロード可能」）など編集不可の権限だと、コメントを閲覧できません。編集ができない権限の共有リンクでも、非常に便利な動画のアノテーション（コメント）を閲覧可能にしたいです。
ユースケース： Box Hubsに動画を掲載し、社外へ「リンクを知っている全員（表示のみ）」で共有しています。閲覧者がコメントを見られれば、動画の特定箇所をピンポイントで案内でき、効率的です。In Link Settings, we’d like an option to control whether comments are visible.

Allow Device Pinning for web
Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-PinningHowever, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
https://app.box.com/master/settings/devicesUsing sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

User Activity Report needs ADDITIONAL default date filters
To enable co-admins to schedule regular reports, additional default date filters are needed in the User Activity Report Date range selection. "Last 3 months", "Last 6 months" and "Year to date" would enable reports to be scheduled, rather than having to run the report manually because a Custom Range has to be selected for these periods

Box Shield: export Anomalous content download section of a Shield Alert to pdf
It would be helpful for an option to save an expanded view of "Anomalous content downloaded" section of a Box Shield Alert to pdf or clipboard.
When alerting/notifying the line managers of Target user's anomalous downloads, we always include screenshot of this section of the alert in the standard email that we send them

Add Shield alert filter by DATA RESIDENCY ZONE
Dashboard should have a filter to select from all the Data Residency Zones used in the Enterprise's user accounts, so that the alerts can be filtered by DRZ, enabling co-authors from across the world to filter to show only those that they need to manage.
The DRZ for an alert is the DRZ associated with the Target user's Box account

version
Allow the option to keep the existing filename when uploading a new version. Filenames are often autogenerated by the software producing the file. After uploading to Box, I usually rename the file to a more meaningful name. When I generate a new version of the file, it will have a different name, and then upload it to Box as a new version. Box renames it to the same name as the newly uploaded file, meaning I have to rename it again. I would like the ability to keep the previous name instead of the name of the newly uploaded file.

Create Doc Gen templates from PDF
I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from PDF documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

Give the Box Admin the ability to clone (mirror) an existing user's access when adding a new user to Box.
The goal is to streamline user provisioning by allowing Box Admins to replicate the permissions and folder access of an existing user when creating and adding a new user to Box.
This eliminates manual steps and ensures consistency in access control.
Why It’s Valuable?
Efficiency: Admins often need to onboard users with similar roles or responsibilities. Instead of manually assigning folders and permissions, cloning saves time.
Consistency: Reduces human error by ensuring the new user has identical access as the reference user.
Scalability: Ideal for large organizations where teams share common folder structures.

Index Lists
Suggest to add feature allowing users to download index lists of folder contents.
This feature could be permissioned, but the current protocol of requiring Box admin approval is challenging to navigate, and the produced index lists are not organized or very useful.

Box search results are currently displayed in order of "newest update date," but we have received many requests to display them in order of "oldest update date."

Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
Due to the malfunction of my mobile device, I am currently unable to access a specific Box link.
The issue may be caused by one of the following:Lack of access permissions
Although I am able to log in, I may not have been granted the necessary permissions (e.g., Viewer or Editor) to view the relevant folder or files.Expired or restricted shared link
The shared link may have expired or been restricted to specific users, preventing access.Incomplete multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup
In some Box environments, even if login is successful, access to files may be restricted if the MFA setup is not fully completed. This may be related to the recent device failure.Could you kindly advise what steps I should take to regain access?

Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files
Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

box ai for mp4 files
I record some zoom meetings with SnagIt which creates an mp4 file (which I save to Box). Can Box AI then read/summarize that recordings?

from Box Folder (Filtered) View - Start Box Relay
Most of solutions would need filtered data for example, to track the status of any document or request, one would need Status field to track the progress and showing user a filtered view is necessary. From same view, if relay can be initiated would be highly appreciated.

Form dropdown - Show big list of Values from Excel
How to manage long list of Items like Asset Number or Functional location Number into Form Drop Down?
If Drop Down functionality on the form can take Excel as Source then that can solve this issue and letting user search/filter from Drop Down to select Single/Multiple entries.

SFTP authentication method using a key pair.
Please allow Box to use a key pair as an SFTP authentication method as an alternative to a username and password. Not all systems allow files to be sent via SFTP using a username/password. Thanks.

Add the ability to search by uploader
We'd like to see the ability to search for files by uploader name. Since searching by owner is basically useless if the file is uploaded by someone other than the folder owner, having the ability to search by the uploader would make it a lot easier to find files uploaded by a particular user if you don't have the file name on hand.

List of files detected as abnormal downloads
Content: Currently, Box Shield cannot output a list of files detected as abnormal downloads, so a report must be output and presented to the user for confirmation.
If there are a large number of detections, it is not practical to check them one by one.I would like to see a feature implemented that allows you to check a list of affected downloads if an abnormal download is detected.(日本語)
件名：異常なダウンロードとして検出されたファイルの一覧について
内容：現状のBox Shieldの異常なダウンロードで検知されたファイルは一覧出力ができず、レポートを出力してユーザーへ確認する必要があります。
検知数が多い場合、1つずつ確認するのは現実的ではありません。
異常なダウンロードとして検知された場合、対象一覧を確認できる機能の実装を希望します。3 votes
