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…

Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile
For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
- be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.
- be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
- those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access…

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.

Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them
Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them
We have a lot of users that access large spreadsheets and projects from their cloud drive when they would have good productivity gains if they had the file synced locally and worked on it that way. Would it be possible to build intelligence into Box Drive that could suggest best practices like synching large files that need to be accessed frequently?

Create shared link to a nested page in a Box Hub
Our Box Hubs audience consists of mostly external partners, so we design our Box folder structure and Box Hubs with a novice user in mind. For a critical marketing campaign, I have created a nested page in our main partner shared Hub, but I don't have the ability to create a shared link for just that page that I can post in a call out on our separate partner-specific "sub Hubs." My callout includes instructions to look for the page on the left nav, but it would be nice to be able to link directly to the nested page.

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…

When outputting a report from the Admin Console, the user interface for searching folders cannot uniquely identify folders with the same fol
When narrowing down the user activity report to activities under a specific folder, a search is performed by folder name, but if there are many identical folder names, it is not possible to uniquely specify the folder.
I would like to be able to display the folder path from the root or specify by folder ID.(Japanese)
管理コンソールでレポートを出力する際にフォルダを検索するユーザーインターフェースで同一フォルダ名が存在すると一意に特定が出来ないユーザーアクティビティレポートで特定のフォルダ配下のアクティビティに絞るときにフォルダ名で検索を実施するが同一フォルダ名が多くあると、どれが出力したいフォルダなのかが判別が出来ないのでルートからのフォルダパスを表示したりフォルダIDでの指定が出来るようにして欲しい。

As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console
I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.
I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.
I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.
My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

Allow users to set Sort Preferences
Users should be able to save default sort preferences.
Currently I see "Least Recently Updated" documents first, which is never helpful.
I have to manually re-set the sort preference in every folder I work in.14 votes -
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.

Box for Outlook - Seamless login with SSO
The Box app in Outlook is currently not a great user experience requiring users to login daily. It should pass existing SSO credentials across and login at least after the first set-up. Look at Asana as an example of how this should work

zip file decompression function
Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.15 votes -
Allow folder permissions / account permissions to be copied to another user.
We hired a new admin. As an executive, I want my admin to have access to all files I have in my Box account.

Relay admin should allow editing of relay flows
Users are confused when going into relay on the Admin dashboard vs. relay on the main toolbar in the user experience. Users should be able to edit relay flows when in the admin dashboard, or there should be clearer messages to users why they can't edit a relay flow in the admin. It leads users to create new workflows because they don't know where to edit the files.

Display Shield classification labels by default beside the name of each item in a folder
When viewing the contents of a folder, it would be beneficial to the user experience to see which items are classified and how without needing to select the item or attempt to preview it.

Let user disable shortcut top menu () or load shortcut menu before files listing
Hi everyone,
whenever we user move from one folder to the next, using the web app in a browser, the page load is delayed by the shortcut menu on top. This shortcut menu displays buttons for [Upload][Folder][Word Document][Excel Spreasheet].
The current implementation is sooo annoying, since these four buttons are loaded on page and after the files listing in the directory. Unfortunately this shifts the file list of the directory down on the page each time.
This shifting down the file listing on the page is so annoying for browsing directories, since in that time one can't aim for clicking…

API endpoint to return ALL objects (recursively) but simplified to create browser tree
I am using the jstree library in my application to create a full browser tree of a user's BOX resources. Please create an endpoint to return ALL objects (recursive) available to an authenticated user inside one root folder . These objects would only require the object ID, TYPE, NAME, VERSION and PARENT(parent-id as string instead of parent object). The jstree lib can take this data and create an entire file browsing tree and then users would call up more information when they click on an object. This would greatly reduce the number of API calls to your server…

Editor permissions without delete function
Recently, we had a user delete a very important and large folder that housed 1.4 TB of client data. We have looked into changing permissions for all users to Viewer Uploader from Editor to prevent this from happening again, but this also takes away the ability to MOVE files/folders as well. We would like there to be an option for a role to be introduced that would allow users to have all functions of Editor just WITHOUT the ability to delete.
