Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view
Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view.
These files and folders would still be searchable via the search bar, but they would be hidden from All Files.
Also include the ability to review all files and folders that I've previously hidden in a separate "Hidden" tab, similar to how there is a "Recents" tab and "Notes" tab.

Ability to mirror documents in other root folders
Our organization utilizes the collaboration with external users to give them access to view one specific folder relative to their client account. We do not want these users to have access to our main folder that houses the original documents for their client account, but rather only this one specific folder that has a copy of selected documents relative to their positions on the Board. Right now, we have to manually upload or delete new documents to both folders. If there is a change to our original document, we have to manually upload the new version to the copy…
1 voteHello, if we understand your request correctly, you could use the bookmark feature to bookmark a link to specific files so the Board will always be routed to the up-to-date version of the original document but not be able to view the rest of the items in the main folder.

Automatically generate a password for the shared link
I would like to request the addition of a feature that generates a random password meeting the password requirements on the screen where users create an open sharing link and are prompted to set a password.
When there is a requirement to set a password, manually creating a password each time can be burdensome.5 votes -

Ability to limit shared link access to a folder at the folder settings level
Currently there is a setting that allows you to limit a folder to collaborators only. The additional setting to limit the settings for access to people in the company or higher at the folder settings level would provide more granular control.

Folder access expiration date for internal and external users access to folders
Add a feature to allow user's access to folders to expire on a pre-set date that can be determined at the time you are adding them as a collaborator. We have various students and interns floating through our department that only need temporary access to certain folders and its become incredibly challenging to go back and remove access on a rolling basis.

Select folders from hard drive to sync with box
Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.

display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box
Since the display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box is dynamically changed in the order of new and updated, it is often difficult to find files/folders, so I would like to change the display order like Windows Explorer.

Add/Update 'Active Shared Link' Badge when Link Has Expiration Set
Adjust the 'active shared link' badge/icon to include a visual if that link is set to expire.
0 votesThis is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers.
We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Manage Folders and Files by Other Users
I recently noticed that, as an administrator/owner of The Animal League of Green Valley account, I cannot see folders and files deleted by other users.
This caused a serious problem when a user accidentally deleted a folder and then left for an extended leave.
I expected to be able to enter "Trash", see the folder and restore it; however, it was not visible to me.
Fortunately, we were able to contact the user who deleted the folder, and that person was able to restore it, but the situation could have been much worse, disastrous actually.
It seems to me that…

Would like a feature that boilerplate to the message box of Send Shared Link
For example, the customer usually uses shared link with Send Shared Link.
However, the customer sometimes faces insufficient information.
So, he thinks he can prevent it if this feature is implemented.1 vote -
Date and time functions will not work correctly in shared Excel file
When an external collaborator opens a shared link of an Excel file (with 'People with the link' option selected) without logging into box, date and time functions will not work correctly.
This should be fixed, as it would easily bring about confusion.1 vote -
Folders to which only managed users can be invited
【Request】
Regarding the "Restrict collaboration to within {OrganizationName}" setting in the folder settings,
I would like the definition of users recognized as users in the organization to be selectable from the following two options
・Users who have same domains OR Managed Users (Same as current specifications)
・Only Managed Users【Current specifications ＆ Issues】
Currently, for folders with this setting turned on, users can invite others who meet either of the following conditions
- Managed users of the tenant
- Users with a Box account with an email address in the registered domainAs it stands, this specification allows free accounts…

create folder
Can we create a new folder that way we can organize documents we upload onto BOX? like if i have a bunch of pictures from a specific vacation, and other pictures from other vacations, i'd rather each picture be in specific folders rather than all over the place and i have to guess when and where the picture or file is and where it belongs to.
thanks

Email Notifications to Be Sent to Users to Alert Them of Pending Shared Link Expiration
When an owner invites a collaborator to a shared folder that has a file set to expire, there could be a little box that gives the option to send a courtesy reminder email to the collaborator x amount of hours in advance (48 for example) so they know to check the folder if they haven't already.
2 votesThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Ability to create an index of a folder structure
1) A way to create an index of a folder structure to make it easier for outside collaborators to get an idea of whats down the folder tree. We’re looking for some sort of index (like a table of contents) in an orderly fashion for a particular set of folders. I ran a files and folders report but as just an excel sheet it was relatively useless as a table of contents
2) A way to schedule a report to run daily or weekly

A User activity report on folders created only
We are looking to generate a user activity report on folders created only. Currently, user activity has file management > uploaded as an option which will include files uploaded and folders created but we would just like folders created and not files uploaded.

Ability to create "search folders" or "saved searches"
Instead of doing a new search each time, it would be great to be able to save a search and run it at any time with one click. That search could appear in your All Files view as a Search Folder (e.g., named "New PDFs re XYZ") and when you click the folder it runs the search; or as a saved search accessible on the left menu.
8 votesHi, it is currently possible to save a search by using the URL. See https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696314-Search-for-Files-Folders-and-Content for instructions on how to save a search and bookmark it.

Add ability to Move Folders & Delete Folders through Zapier
Currently, there is no ability to move or delete a folder through Zapier. This functionality would greatly improve our ability to keep our folder structure organized and cut down on reliance on users to perform these actions.
