The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.
I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.
18 votesUnfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

My biggest challenge is version control of files that are shared in multiple box folders.
Ideally updating master file would then update all the different box files it is housed in that may have a variety of users. I spend more time on version controls and finding the latest one than anything.

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.

Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions
We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.
But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

Grant an admin access to all folders with one click.
I would like a way to easily grant an admin access to all folders instead of having to add them to each root folder one by one.

Copy files to Relevant Folders based on Tags or Automation Rules
We would like to setup Automation rules for folders that would COPY and not MOVE new files to designated folders.
To take the idea even further, if the COPY could be triggered by a TAG assignment, it would be even better, because some of the files in the affected folder should not be copied, while other should.

Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
45 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Cascade MDE into sub folders
I have customers building out metadata extraction, and they’re running into a bottleneck because our metadata extraction agents only look at the root-level folders they’re targeted to, not subfolders.
This makes it hard to do dynamic processes and apply metadata extraction to them, since those processes often create folders and subfolders, and metadata extraction won’t work on those. I’d like to see this updated so it does.

Ability of business to enable/disable password protection of documents/folders function
The functionality allowing users to password protect documents and folders, should be manageable at the top level, as this function may cause problems with managing content if over used by users.
A simple enable/disable toggle for each group of users (Previewer, Editor etc) - so that users may/may not have the ability to password protect documents/folders depending on their permissions in particular locations
Admin Console - reporting locations and details of password protected documents and folders

Collaboration Domain Whitelisting at Folder Level
We want to whitelist other domains at the folder level so that collaboration can be open with certain clients on external folders while also being completely blocking collaboration with any other domains.

Show collaboration folder path for External users
When we look at external users, now we can see a folder that they are collaborators in but we cannot see the path to it nor can we navigate to that folder. Can that functionality be added so we can more easily see what folders are shared and what is in them?

Show a warning message when users attempt to upload folders in a File Request
Frequently we have users attempt to upload folders to use using the file request drag & drop zone feature.
Box does not support the uploading of folders, however it allows users to drag folders into the drag/drop zone.
This gives the appearance that folders are supported, even though they are not. Then when users hit upload they must wait a long time before encountering an error that their upload failed, and it does not tell them why.
Solution: when a user drags a folder into the file request drop zone, immediately show a message that says "Warning: Uploading folders…

Add folders and files to a Legal Hold via the UI
Currently, Legal Holds can only be applied to custodians (people) via the UI, but other options (files, folders, and specific versions) are available via API - https://community.box.com/t5/For-Admins/Legal-Holds/ta-p/19886
This request is to add UI support for adding files and folders to a Legal Hold via the native Box Admin Console UI.
11 votesPlease see https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Folder-Level-Legal-Holds/idi-p/69643 for additional detail. We don’t plan to add files at this time, but have added folders.

Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options fora team
Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options for a team. Now it appears that recovery of files that were deleted in a shared Duke Box Toolkit folder can only be recovered by the individual that deleted the file (not the co-owner or admin without the assistance of the individual that performed the deletion). For critical files this is a security risk to just store the files on the Box Drive because it severely limits identifying and recovering deleted files. The individual that deletes the file could do…

Using the Outlook Integration: Shared link settings be customizable (default to "Collaborators Only).
All email recipients should then be automatically added as a collaborator to the piece of content being shared.

Collect user info when a box link is shared with non-box users
The goal is to require non-box users enter their first, last name and email before accessing a Box shared link set to permission "People with the link".
I.E, user will click on the link, re-direct to a sign up page requiring first, last name and email. After submitted they are routed to the training videos hosted on Box.

Please remove the feature that hiding files/folders in Box Drive.
I work at Box's help desk. Since most users aren't fully proficient with Box, hiding files/folders causes confusion.

Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
According to the URL above,
"Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.
