Google Doc "share" from google.
When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )
Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.
I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then…

Add notification for users when changing a template, that existing workflows using the template will not be changed.
Only new workflows from that point forward would be affected.

I'm a sole proprietor and need your Business Plus features
Hello, I'm coming back to our exchange on Twitter from earlier today.
I was a Box user between 2013-18 when my business started to grow and my Box plan became too limited. Also the branding of my file exchange service became a must.
Back then I wanted to switch to Business Plus but the minimum of 3 payed users made this way too expensive and also simply unreasonable for me as a one-man show. I exchanged various emails with your support and spoke with your office in Munich about whether it was possible to offer a One User Business Plus…

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

Pop Up/Alert for duplicate folder name
Customer is interested in a pop up or alert when users enter a duplicate name for a folder. This could be specific alert to just admins but some sort of notification to prevent duplicative folder names.

show automation creator as the sender of automation task assignment email
Currently, automation task email notifications show the sender as the primary email regardless of who created the automation
In a large company, users might not even know who the admin is and discard the emails as spam or unnecessary.

Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache
Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.
I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.
Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).
Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.
Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.
Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due…

I am struggling with basic functionality of box i.e. sharing a folder with external users.
I followed simple steps to use box application to share some business information with external stakeholder.
1. Created a folder
2. Uploaded my files
3. Clicked on share button at the top right corner and added the email addresses of folks I want to share with
4. Gave them viewer accessResult:
1. I can see in sharing panel these new users have pending requests
2. The users get email notification to access the folder but when they click they get an error 403.It has happened multiple times, for some users the process is smooth, others it always throws…

Setting tags for each folder
For example, I would like to see the setting inherited by a specific folder and its subfolders, similar to the "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" in the email notification in the folder settings.
In a tenant with many end users, tags can be disorganized.
For example, if you try to create a tag for December, some users may find that there are many ways to describe the month, and when they try to search for a tag, they may not be able to find the desired tag.
For this reason, many tenants restrict the creation of…4 votes -
Combine Feed with Notifications and Recents to make one seamless experience
If you could combine feed with notifications + recents into one screen. Our users find that they’re often switching back in forth between the screens; if you could have a screen with three columns including all of these items and have a way to sort them, scroll them – that would be one experience and save time flipping between pages.

Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out
Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".
We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged out (by…

Shared links auto-expiration exception for specific folders
Currently, the auto-expiration policy for shared links applies to all folders and files. For shared links on folders, it would be great if we could prevent specific folders from expiring (similar to custom notifications settings on specific folders).
We have a couple of folders that are synced and shared using public links and shouldn't expire.3 votes -
Allow resizeable/full-screen file search form
Actually the file search UX in Windows has a design giving priority to form over function, with a concept half-way resembling a tray application notification.
The problem with that is that the ridiculous window size most of the time trims relatively long file paths to the point of having on-screen indistinguishable search results for different files, if they are at somewhat deepth in the file tree. The smallnes brings also unnecesary scroll, and forces the pains of a self imposed real-state screen-space shortage, more proper of mobile devices but undesirable in desktop.
Let file search have the first class…

Problem with workbook link in Excel
we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername
To
api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername
thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.
How can we solve this problem?
Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
Starting Configuration:
BOX drive installed: YES
Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......…4 votes -
When using Box Relay as a trigger for a "file request" file that requested login
Send an email notification to the "user who started the workflow", but that email address cannot be used on any other relay, but if you change the file name from then on, that email address will be used to send the file to the person who submitted it. I would like to rename my email address.
「ワークフローを開始したユーザー」にメールで通知を送れが、そのメールアドレスは、それ以外のRelayでは使えないが、それ以降のファイル名を変更するで、そのメールアドレスが使って、ファイルを提出者のメールアドレスにリネームしたいです。

improve the incorrect display of the screen after setting up to prohibit uploading with a free account within our company using BVE settings
Using BVE settings, we set up our company to prohibit uploading with free accounts and verified it.
We would like to ask you any questions or requests regarding the verification results.

Ability to unfollow Box Note when no longer needed to collaborate
We get access to many Box Notes on a daily basis to collaborate. When the Box notes get edited, we get an update on our Box Note page with a little blue circle + an additional number on our box notes app. I'd like to stop following those Box Notes I am no longer collaborating on, so I don't receive those 'updated' notifications.

To streamline the data upload process to the BOX app on the iPad, you can follow these steps:
「I want to store the data I am viewing in an app on my iPad and the data I am viewing on a browser into a specific folder in BOX. When I select BOX as the destination app for sharing, only "All Files" appears in the folder selection for storage, so it takes time to navigate to the desired folder. I would like to have immediate access to my Collection folder for」

Moving shared folders should be simple and not involve changing ownership
Many people in my organization share folders with me. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ends up in my top-level directory. But some should be in one folder and some in another. I should be able to move any shared folder, even ones I am not a collaborator on, to ANY place in my directory structure without changing the physical storage space and without worrying about ownership. Why should the sharer have a right to clutter up my top-level directory with so many folders? It's pages and pages of stuff on the web interface. Since the real data is physically stored…

Allow users to REPLY TO folder invitations
When I invite a user to a folder, they receive an email.
Today the email subject is:
My Name has invited you to work together in "Folder Name"
The From in the email is:
My email address on behalf of My name noreply@box.comIt would be extremely helpful for users to be able to reply directly to the invitation back to me. Instead, the users get an NDR.
We work with several other providers, and their notifications have the reply to: set as the user sending it.
