Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop
Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).
In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.
It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Notifications + Override ability for Folder Owners when a folder is Deleted by a Collaborator
When in Box Drive, collaborators can inadvertently delete a large folder, even if they don't own that folder. Before the folder is able to be deleted, the owner of the folder should receive a notification with a warning (e.g. Jane Doe is about to delete your files) and the owner should have the ability to override the action. In the case where the Owner is no longer at the company, there should be an Admin warning and ability to override the action.

I want to be able to change access permissions when inviting someone to a Box folder via Teams
As per the current Box specifications, when you invite someone to a Box folder via Teams, they will be granted editor permissions and cannot be changed in advance.
After inviting via Teams, it is possible to change the access permissions on the Box side, but it is very inconvenient to have to change the access permissions every time.
By making it possible to set access permissions in advance, unnecessary permissions will not be granted, reducing the risk of incidents occurring.(日本語)
件名：Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待する時、アクセス権限を変更できるようにしたい
内容：
現在のBoxの仕様として、Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待を行う場合、編集者として権限が付与され事前に変更する事はできません。
Teams経由で招待後、Box側でアクセス権限の変更は可能ですが、都度アクセス権限の変更をする事とても不便です。
事前に付与されるアクセス権限の設定が可能になる事により、必要のない権限を付与する事がなくなる為、インシデントが発生するリスクが減ります。15 votes -
Set default on how to display a link
I'm not sure when this was added, I didn't see it in the release notes. But when pasting a link into a Box Note, there are now options on how the link is to be displayed. It defaults to "Display Link Title". Can you please add a setting to change that default to another option?
"Display as URL" is far more useful when you are pasting links (for example) from Jira or ServiceNow, where "Display Link Title" only says "Jira" every time, forcing you to go into each link and changing it to URL to see every link.

Access Policy to Restrict Access to Specified Groups
With Hubs, users' ability to add content to a Hub increases the chance of accidentally giving access to unintended internal users. For sensitive content, it would be nice to be able to have an access policy applied to specific classification that restricts document access to users in specific groups to prevent internal data leakage.

Create a New Folder Bugs - cursor not in text box, no return to create
Sometime in the last month, there was a UI update with Box that changed how creating a New Folder functions. Now, when creating a new folder, the cursor does not start in the name box, so you have to manually click into the box to start typing. Secondly, you can no longer press enter/return to create the folder; you have to drag your cursor and click the "create" button. This combination has been a frustrating change for seemingly no reason. Renaming a folder still automatically lets you type in names and press return to create, so it's definitely an accidental bug. Please fix asap!

Create folders in bulk by a specific destination folder using Relay at run time.
Hello,
As an example for you: our practice uses box.com for our architectural packages. Currently when we want to create a new project folder with specific names and sub folders we have to duplicate an existing set of folders and rename them all then move them to a new location.
It would be helpful if Box Relay could let users choose a destination folder in Box at run time as part of a “Project folder creation” workflow.
For example, during a form submission (or via a simple pop-up), the user could browse/select where the new project folder—and its standard subfolders—should be created.
Right now, Relay requires the destination folder to be predefined in the workflow. That means we have to create a separate form/workflow for each client or brand just to point to a different parent folder.
What we need is a single Relay workflow that:
- Collects the project details,
- Creates the standard folder/subfolder structure,
- Applies naming/renaming rules, and
- Lets the user select the correct client/brand destination folder each time.

Enhanced Folder Naming for Signature Links
Current Issue
When documents are issued via Box Sign signature links, the folders created during storage are named with dates only. We would like the ability to include document-identifying codes or keywords in folder names.Current behavior:
File names are preserved, but folders are subsequently named with dates only
When signature links are sent to multiple recipients, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which document belongs to which person
Lack of clear organization makes document management challenging
Proposed Enhancement
Folder naming should include:Signature recipient's name
Document-identifying keywords or codes
Customizable naming conventions
Business Impact
This enhancement would significantly improve document organization and retrieval efficiency, especially when managing multiple signature requests simultaneously. It would reduce time spent searching for specific signed documents and improve overall workflow management.Use Case
When sending signature requests to multiple people for the same or different documents, administrators need to quickly identify and locate specific signed documents without having to open each folder to determine its contents.Current Issue

I am a fan of central management of users. One feature is the admin's ability to create password for the accounts.
As long as I have known box, there should be a feature that allows the admin of the company account. to create users and assign their passwords. This is a key factor in central management and control. It is almost a red flag for me, on implenetation.

"Bob has accepted the invitation to..." (x1000)
Getting these automatic emails each time a folder is shared bogs down my notifications. Is there anyway I can turn these specific notifications off? Alternatively, could I please disable the "Automatically accept initiations" setting for the company as admin?

Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format
For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.
However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.
Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.
The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.

Visualizing Template Usage and Deletion within the Tenant
In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.
However, when we want to delete templates that haven’t been used within the organization for a long time, we have to ask the original creator to unpublish or delete them, which is cumbersome.
If unnecessary workflows remain, the interface becomes cluttered and administration becomes difficult.These issues can be resolved by surfacing templates that haven’t been used for an extended period within the tenant and allowing administrators to unpublish or delete them.
We request a feature in the Admin Console’s Relay Templates list view to display the “Last Used” date and enable selecting older templates for bulk deletion.〈テナント内テンプレートの利用状況可視化と削除機能の実装〉
Box Relayでは、ユーザーが作成したワークフローをテンプレートとして公開することでテナント内の他のユーザーも利用することができます。
しかし、社内で長い間利用されていないテンプレートを削除したいとき、そのワークフローを作成したユーザーに公開取り消し/削除を依頼しなければならず、手間がかかります。社内に不要なワークフローが残り続けてしまうと、画面が煩雑になり管理も大変になります。テナントで長期間利用されていないテンプレートを可視化し、管理者が公開取り消しや削除を実施できれば上記問題は解決します。
管理コンソールのRelayテンプレートの一覧画面で、テンプレートの最終利用日を表示し、古いものを選択して一括で削除をできるような機能実装をお願いします。In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.

New Folder Box Keyboard Usage
With the most recent update, when starting a new folder in the new folder dialogue box that pops up, you now can't start typing immediately in the name field without clicking into it. Also, pressing Enter does not trigger the "create" button like it once did. This makes working in Box much slower since you have to click around to do anything instead of just using the keyboard.

Ability to hide date and other metadata for external shares
When sharing to external users, it would be nice to have the ability to remove the date from view, as it can sometimes be privileged information to see that kind of metadata.

Make Move+Copy pop-up default back to the folder you're in
Up until a couple days ago, when you clicked Move + Copy on a file/folder, the pop-up would load with the current folder you're in, making it very simple to move files up one level (out of their current subfolder). Now, the pop-up defaults to the home screen. So if I want to move files out of one subfolder, I have to navigate through twenty different folders to get back to where I was.
Please change it back!

New Login Custom Logo Display
A recent Login update has caused Custom Branding Logos to display verry small in all browsers to the point its not readable. I opened a Box support case and after multiple attempts to resize I was told it was working as expected.
Please upvote this if your custom branding is not correctly sized on the login page so Box can fix this.
Here is the link to the change that caused this.:

Box for Outlook - Default no attachments selected
When using the Box Outlook app, by default all attachments are selected. I would default to no attachments and require people to select they want to save.
The main reason is that for EVERY email there is normally MANY image files that make up part of the signature, it is necessary to unselected many more image files than the attachment(s) we want to save.
