  1. Do not show Box files tab automatically in every Microsoft Teams channel a user has access to

    By default, when a user connects a Box folder with a MS Teams channel using the Box plugin for the first time, suddenly a Box files tab appears in any Teams channel the user has access to (no maztter if the user is owner or just member). This happens to all stanard channels (private channels don't work with Box Teams Plugin)
    This is absolutely confusing, especially when using MS Teams in a company/enterprise. The box files tabs are not linked to any Box folder. They need to be removed manually everywhere.

    Can you please implement a control which prevents creating…

  2. Search for keywords in File content and not only in file names

    Just like Explorer search, Box should be able to list PDF files that contain the keywoard in their content and not only in the File name.

    Example:
    If using Box to store CVs, Box should be able to list CVs that has a specific skill.

  3. Function to display a list of files that failed to upload when uploading large amounts of content

    In the course of work, there are many opportunities to upload folders or large numbers of files at once.
    Some files may fail to upload, but the Box Web screen does not allow you to extract information about only the files that failed to upload.
    This means that it can be time-consuming to identify files that have failed to upload among a large number of uploaded files.
    Please implement a function to display a list of contents that have failed to upload.
    If it is difficult to display the list on the screen, please implement a function to export…

  4. Ability to search files by SHA1 value

    Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.

    Key use cases:
    1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
    2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
    3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)

    SHA1 values are referenced here:

  7. folder report

    When running the folder/file report, provide a way to include ONLY the subfolders and not the files. Sometimes we need only the subfolder details and not the actual files in each subfolder.

  10. Avoid syncing certain file types.

    Hello.

    I am a 3D modeler and I use Box assiduously.

    My working folder is directly Box's sync directory. The program that I use saves a backup version of the model, time to time and sometimes this files are huge.

    I ran into the problem that these backups are synchronized, generating traffic and taking up space.

    It would be a great help if it could be included in future versions, to be able to ignore certain files based on their extension.

    Thank you.

  11. Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files

    Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.

    Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list

  12. Increase iWork integration 1GB limit

    The limitation of the iWork integration supporting files up to 1 GB in size is a blocker for customers working on larger files. Increasing this limit would be very helpful to keep collaboration in Box.

  14. Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive

    Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  15. Notify Box app users to refresh for latest updates on Content Preview and Content Explorer UI elements

    Currently, when Box app users access files through the Content Explorer and the Content Preview UI elements, there is no visible indication that one or more files have been updated simultaneously by managed users.
    As a result, users may not be aware of the latest changes or modifications made to the files.

    To ensure that app users benefit from new updates, I kindly request the implementation of a notification message within the Content Preview and Comtent Explorer elements. This notification message would dynamically appear whenever one or more files have been updated, prompting app users to refresh their page…

  16. Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.

    In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.
    I want the option to overwrite the file when it has the same name of existing files.

  19. Add file count to Folder Properties

    Folder properties on browser based app should display the number of files in the folder. We use Box for photoshoot asset sharing while still in production (before moving to our DAM) and it's really a pain to verify file count.
