  1. Remove unnecessary newlines from Box Notes when copying to other plain text apps

    When I copy a list of lines from Box Notes to a plain text editor on MacOS, it always inserts newlines between each two lines. It does not matter if you Cmd + V or Cmd + Shift + V, the newlines still remain.

    I don't know what the issue is, but this needs to be fixed. I do not want to spend the time removing the extra newlines when we're copying form Box Notes to somewhere else. It is a waste of time and also worth considering other cloud note tools that might prevent this from happening.

  2. Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users.: Want ability to embed AI Agents, and assign an Agent to a Hub.

    Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users. Right now the best thing would be to give them a chatbot to read HR documents, on our Intranet in Sharepoint.

    I would love to be able to embed ONLY the Agent into Sharepoint, but so far we can only embed the Box Hub. Therefore if my user wants to ask about their HR benifits, my user has to:
    1. Go to the HR Sharepoint Site (where they normally find info on employee benefits, etc.)
    2. Unlock the blue/white Box Cloud image (see: "RC HR…

  3. Inline comments in Excel

    There is Inline comment option available for Microsoft Word in BOX Web. We can select a particular text and comment on it, which will be available in Activity also. But there is no option to select a Text in Excel and add an Inline comment on it. This feature is available only in Microsoft Excel online, but those comments are not reflected in Activity. It would be better if there is an Inline comment option available for Excel also.

  4. Display of Box folder structure

    【Home screen】
    Request: I want the folder tree to not close even if I open a file from the folder tree in a new tab.
    Background: When opening multiple files from the same folder tree, it is necessary to reopen each file, which reduces work efficiency.

    【Each folder】
    Request: I want to be able to display a folder tree like BoxDrive on BoxWeb.
    I want the folder tree in the open folder to be displayed including the upper hierarchy.
    Background: When opening a folder tree for each folder, you often want to check the contents of the subfolders as well.…

  5. Renaming a File with Box Edit (Box Tools)

    Editing is only permitted using Box Edit as per company regulations.
    Box Edit does not allow you to change the file name when editing a file.
    Box for Office Online and Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing allow you to rename files as you edit them.
    We would like to see Box Edit improve the functionality to allow file names to be renamed as changes are made, just like other features.

    会社の決まりでBox Editを利用した場合のみ編集を許可しています。
    Box Editでは、ファイル編集時に名称を変更することができません。

    Box for Office OnlineやBox for Microsoft Office 共同編集機能では、編集の際にファイルの名称を変更することが可能です。
    他の機能と同様に、Box Editでも変更時にファイル名を変更できるよう機能改善を要望します。

  6. Bulk change link permissions for subfolders and files

    As it stands if you create a folder with shared link permissions to be invited people only and then you add files and subfolders, if you change the permissions of the parent folder to change to anyone in your company, they don't propagate, nor do files added after inherit the parent folders permissions which were changed previously. It would be good if when making a change that you are prompted to allow waterfall permissions to subfolders and files or to not. I know this can be done with CLI, but there should be an easier way for end users to…

    Thank you for the insights. At the movement each shared link is viewed as a individual unit. We will continue to gather interest in such a capability to perform bulk actions.

  7. There's no need for the "Launching Application" popup... I know its opening, I just clicked for it to open...

    When selecting “Open With” and opening a file this notification pops up:


    Launching Application

    ... is opening in Adobe Acrobat. Saving your file will save changes directly back to
    Box.

    Lock file to prevent others from editing it


    This is not necessary. It adds no functionality. I KNOW its opening, I just asked it to open by clicking OPEN. Then I have to click CLOSE to move on to the next step?

    I understand the "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" might be useful to someone who is opening their own file and forgot to lock it, but…

  8. Dynamically name signed documents based on metadata: signer's full name, company, email and others

    When there are documents in the same folder or templates that are repeatably signed with the same name (Ready Sign Link, Batch Send), Box Sign adds a number and () to the filename to note the different/unique files.

    There needs to be a better way to name the files - perhaps using metadata or using the unique id of the sign request. And then all files - signed docs and signed log would be renamed with the same name. Otherwise it's very hard to tell files apart when they all have the same name with just a number and ()…

  9. Create Shortcuts to Other Folders within Box

    We would love to be able to create shortcuts to other related files within files in Box on the web. For an example, in windows file explorer, you can create a shortcut from someone's individual file and someone's business file.

  10. Singapore Zones

    We would like to have Singapore Zones as a main storage country.
    Currently you can select Singapore as a back up of Japan but not as a main country.
    We would need this to implement Box to South East Asian countries.

  11. Ability to delete folders in the new Content Manager

    In the previous Content Manager, you could delete both folders and files, but in the new Content Manager, you can only delete files.

    Especially in controlled tenants, administrators may want to delete user-owned folders after a free account is rolled up to the tenant.
    It has become very inconvenient because it is no longer possible to delete folders, which was previously possible from the Content Manager.

    We would like the functionality to be improved so that folders can be deleted just like in the previous Content Manager.

    旧UIのコンテンツマネージャではフォルダとファイルの両方が削除が出来ていましたが、新UIではファイルの削除しかできなくなっています。

    特に統制型のテナントでは、無償アカウントをテナントに巻き取り後に管理者がユーザーが所有しているフォルダを削除したい場合があります。
    従来できていた管理者による削除が出来ないためとても不便です。

    旧UIと同様フォルダの削除もできるよう機能改善を要望します。

  14. Box AI Limitations in Hubs

    We use Hubs to organize our monthly reporting packages. Some information in the packages are stored in tables. Box AI does not accurately return this information when prompted. Box AI works well for this information outside of Hubs. We need this "known issue" to be resolved so we can confidently use Box Hubs to curate our reporting packages.

  15. AI returning inaccurate information from tables

    We keep monthly reporting packages in a Hub for each office. Some information in the reports is stored are in tables. We need box AI to accurately retrieve this information from the documents in the Hub, when prompted. AI works well for this outside a Hub. This is a known issue but makes Box AI much less useful for us.

  17. auto classification policies/engine to apply scanning of files within a compressed file

    Extend auto classification policies to compressed files (content within the zip) as well and have shield policies be able to enforce rules established for certain classifications. If something inside the unprotected compressed file is detected according to the auto classification policies, apply the same classification to the compressed file so the shield policies are adhered to.

    Without this, shield policies can be bypassed by simply zipping a file that would have triggered shield policy as the scan doesn't currently scan files within the compressed file.

  18. Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI

    Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI

    Box AI can currently limit the number of users who use it, but it is not possible to limit the number of times it can be used.
    This is very inconvenient. I would like to be able to specify users who can only use Box AI up to 20 times, or specify users who can use Box AI more than 20 times.

    BoxAIのユーザーごとの利用回数を指定できるようにしたい

    Box AIは、現状利用するユーザーを制限することはできますが、利用回数を制限することが出来ません。
    これは非常に不便です。20回までしかBox AIを利用出来ないユーザーを指定、または20回以上利用出来るユーザーを指定出来るようにしたいです。

  19. Password protected folders - systems allows setting password not meeting log-in criteria

    When I set shared link with customer, I generate password for him and send it to him so he can access the folder. System allows me to create password which is not accepted by the system when the customer wants to sign in! That is very embarrasing.
    For example today I created shared folder, made a password (long enough, but containg only one number) and sent it to the customer to cooperate. System allowed me to set the password, but when the customer wanted to access the folder, he had to use the password but it was not accepted because…

  20. Make file versioning the default behavior for Box CLI "box files:upload" command

    if file versioning is the default behavior when uploading files in the URL Box web page; Why isn't that exactly the same behavior when uploading files thru the "box files:upload /path-to-file/filename.ext --parent-id FolderID" box CLI command?

    The logic is straight forward:

    1) If the file does not exist in the box folder, then create the file

    2) If the file DOES exist in the box folder, then instead of displaying that horrible warning message "409 Conflict, the file already exists", please update the content of the file and increase the FILE version number.
