2. Allow "date uploaded" / "date triggered" as metadata fields

   Even though a file already has the date it was uploaded and modified attached to it, it would be useful to capture a date automatically like this in the same area where user-submitted metadata appears.

   I would like a field in metadata templates and Relay similar to the date picker except that it only stamps the current date, so a file request could come in with metadata such as a user-entered email address and the date uploaded, without any chance of the user having picked a different date.

   We need to download files and have their metadata visible, so we copy and paste the entire metadata section into the file itself, and having the upload date already there would save us a lot of time.

3. Ability to choose default shared link access security level on a per user basis

   We have the default shared link permission to people in the folder or file.

   We would like to change that default for one user to be "People in your company" for example.

4. New Shared Link Setting for OTP to Specific Email Addresses

   Proposing a new Shared Link setting or type that allows users to send a shared link to a specific email address which requires a OTP password, similar to the authentication used when an individual is sent a Sign Request via Box Sign.

   This would allow for a simpler, more secure user experience when sharing one-off links than password-protecting a public link.

5. Direct from link directly to desktop application

   To open a file from a link that is currently a shared link or a link in the URL of a Box storage location, the following steps must be taken
   1.Click on the link
   2.Login to Box
   3.Display the preview
   4.Click "Open
   5.Launch the desktop application

   Office files are often edited in the desktop application,
   and launching Box ⇒ showing preview ⇒ launching the desktop application is a laborious process with many steps to open the file.

   Please add a new feature so that after clicking on the share link and logging in, the screen allows the user to select Preview, Download, Desktop Apps, or Office Online.
   Ideally, the specific configuration area should be any of the following.
   1.Add a setting to [Admin Console > Users and Goops > Account [Roles and Account Permissions]].
   2.Add a setting to [Admin Console > Content and Sharing > Shared Links].
   *Triggers are "collaboration privileges" or "user designation

8. "Feature Requests for API Enhancements: Folder/Event Details, Access Dates, Upload-Email Modifications, External User Details"

   Feature Requests, ordered by priority (if anything is not clear please communicate with Noam):

   1. In copy/move/rename events, the API should include the id of both the target and origin locations (from-to)

   2. In file/folder get info API, the last access date of the file and folder should be provided (in addition to the modify date)

   3. A new event type for modification of upload-email properties, such as access type (in addition to the existing enable/disable events for upload email functionality)

   4. External users – get external users name and id in Get Enterprise Users api (this is currently not working), get an external user indication in Get Collaboration object

9. Separate Move / Copy buttons

   Please consider improving this within Amsterdam

   There are a number of use cases that can be supported by separating the Move / Copy button into unique buttons:

   1) Folder or file templates: Users with Viewer access (can download) should be able to COPY a file or folder elsewhere. Currently this is not supported -- the user must download, which loses BoxNotes and Bookmarks.

   2) Separating "records" from reference material -- If Retention is set on a file, the user may want to copy a version elsewhere that is not subject to Retention

11. Compliance & Retention of File Activity Comments

    We are using the Activity section on each file to keep a running list of processing notes for each documents - ie invoice approvals, marketing and advertising review, etc. More granular control of comment governance would be very helpful.

    For instance, including comments in permission settings to prevent a user from deleting comments, or include in Governance Admin Panel an option to disable comment editing. Comments should also be subject to the same retention requirements imposed on the file itself - ie if the file has a 5 year retention period.

    Also, while there is a User Activity report that shows which uses made comments on a file, the report does not display the contents of each comment. This could be an alternative to user level controls or in addition to user level controls of comments for SEC 17(a)-4 retention requirements.

    Summary:

    1. Allow admins to restrict or disable comment editing (globally or by user or group)
    2. Subject comments to retention requirements the underlying file is subject to
    3. Allow reporting on file comments to include the content of comments and if edited or deleted, running audit trail of changes or deletions. (ie if you delete a comment, the report will still show the content of the comment and indicate that the comment was deleted by which user, date and time stamped.

12. Enable True/False Metadata Mapping for Checkboxes and Radio Buttons in Box Forms

    Description:
    Today in Box Forms, checkbox and radio button inputs are not natively mapped to Boolean metadata fields (true/false or yes/no), which limits the ability to trigger workflows or create metadata-driven views based on user responses.

    Feature Request:
    Allow checkboxes and radio buttons in Box Forms to map directly to Boolean metadata fields:

    If a checkbox is checked, metadata should reflect “true”; if unchecked, “false.”

    For yes/no radio button questions, allow mapping directly to true/false metadata fields.

    Impact & Value:

    Streamlines workflow automation with Box Relay (e.g., trigger based on form input).

    Enables metadata-driven views (e.g., show only records where “Sensitive Data” = true).

    Reduces reliance on workarounds to parse and apply Boolean logic from form responses.

    Supports regulated and high-volume environments with binary decision routing needs.

    Example Use Case:
    In a procurement request form, checking a box labeled “Over $10,000?” would automatically set metadata to “true” and trigger an approval chain through Box Relay.

13. Automatic Locking of Documents

    It would really help our productivity to have all documents automatically lock when a user opens the file, other users that then open the document at the same time are notified they are opening a read only version since the document is currently opened by "insert user name". The file would then automatically unlock when the original user exits the file. Very similar to how Microsoft handles this with shared drives.

14. Easy access the original file from the user interface after signing is completed

    We use Box Sign frequently in our work.
    In the current specifications, after signing is completed, the "Sign Completed Screen" or the "Box Sign List Screen" is displayed.

    After a file has been signed, there are many cases where additional work needs to be done in the location where the original file is stored.
    However, we find it very inconvenient that we cannot reach the folder where the original signature file is saved unless we trace it back from the top folder.

    Please prepare a link to access the original file (or the folder where the original file is saved) from the page after signing is completed.

    ファイルに署名後、署名元ファイルが保存されている場所で他にも作業が必要なケースが多くあります。
    しかし、TOP階層のフォルダから辿らなければ署名元ファイルが保存されているフォルダにたどり着けず、非常に不便に感じています。

16. User Interface Experience in Reporting.

    1. When generating a report through Admin Console, you have to manually search for the folder list and often get too many queries and takes too long. It would be a better experience to be prompted with the root directory that you can just drill down to which folder you want to report on in addition to the search functionality.
    2. When creating a scheduled report, the interface is a bit confusing because you have to hit Schedule Report, then hit schedule again, this should be a once step process and is confusing to most users, additionally the schedule button have a gray outline and seems it's a non-functioning button, at the very least, it should be a blue outline like the other buttons.

17. Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions

    In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.

    Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
    --"John D" will populate correctly
    --"jdoe" will populate correctly
    --"Doe" will NOT populate correctly

    REQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).

    Thank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

18. Relay workflow sharing across users

    As far as I can tell, only the person who has created the Relay workflow has access to the workflow and I can't share the workflow I have already created with one of my colleagues. As a result, if he wants to start a new workflow using the same flow that I had built, he has to start over as I can't share mine with him. This is a really basic function you need to create ASAP if you want adoption with Relay.

    Workflow Ownership Transfer is currently live with our existing Relay full customers, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus customers.

19. Have the ability to retroactively expire shared links.

    If I understand correctly, the only way we can go back and fix this for existing folders is to create an application that does this through the API or send a request to end users to fix folders they own. Is that correct?

    It might be helpful to include a functionality in the future that allows an Admin to reset that setting for existing folders in the environment.

20. Show appropriate message when user does not have permission

    When I try to access a Box link for which I don't have access, it displays a message that
    "We can't seem to find the page you are looking for"

    Instead, it would be great to display a message directly stating that you don't have permission to view the page and also provide an option to request permission directly from the screen. Also, it would be great to provide a list of users who can provide access to that folder.
