  1. Capability to restrict third party apps from creating folders on first level

    Currently, even if the tenant setting is set to allow only administrators and co-administrators to create folders on the first level, there is a security problem that third party apps can create folders on the first level even if the user-created application as a JWT application is given only the minimum permissions required to run the application, such as "app access only" and "write to all files and folders stored in Box.
    For this reason, I would like to see whether to grant administrative privileges or not clearly added to the configuration item so that it can be controlled.

  3. Enhanced filtering/sorting when selecting folders and files

    When selecting the affected folders and files the search filtering could use some enhancements.

    I'll use the user filter options and search for a keyword but there are so many hits to filter through - it would be great to have some options on sorting the list. At the very least to sort alphabetically.

  5. Request for the ability to not display specific folders in BoxDrive

    BoxDrive is very convenient because it can be used as an explorer, but due to user operational error
    folders or files may be moved to unintended folders.
    Folders to be collaborated outside the company can lead to information leakage,
    We request for improve that specific folders can only be operated and viewed with the Box Web Browser.

    (Japanese)
    BoxDriveはエクスプローラとして使えるので利便性が高いが、ユーザーの操作ミスにより
    フォルダやファイルを意図せぬフォルダに移動させてしまうことがある。
    社外コラボレーションするフォルダは情報漏洩につながることがあることから、
    指定したフォルダはBOX Webブラウザのみでしか操作・閲覧ができないようにしたい

  6. Customization of Main Screen

    There should be away that you do not have to view all of the files and folders that you have been to invited to collaborate on when you are in Box. Currently, there is only All Files which shows folders and documents that I can't move, organize, or hide because I don't own them. There should be an option to customize my view to just my files and folders. There could also be an option to view just collaboration files and folders. That way, All Files could remain as it is., but I would not have to…

  7. See folder structure

    Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.

    For example, if the folder structure is:
    X
    |- Y
    |- Z

    and our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
    This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.

    not planned  ·  jfan responded

    Not planned at this time. I think this can be addressed via existing permissions. Let us know if your problem persists in the comments.

  9. Filter folders that user can access by Access level in the Users & Groups tab

    Currently, all folders that a managed user may or may not have access to appear in the 'Edit User Access permissions' panel. There should be a filter for the Access level - so that eg. folders with Access level 'None' do not come up.

  10. Ability to view Box folders and files more clearly

    Currently, when we look at a list of folders or files, we feel that they are displayed in a cluttered way.
    This makes it difficult to find a particular item.
    We manage and respond to items by grouping them by tags.

    We believe that the following features will make Box even more convenient for us to use in the future

    ・Assign any colour to the folders in the box
    ・Assign any colour to the tags in the Box
    ・The order of the tags in the Box can be rearranged by dragging.

    [Boxのフォルダやファイルを更に見やすくする機能]

    フォルダやファイルを一覧で見た際に、雑多に表示されており、特定のアイテムを見つけるのが難しい。
    現在は、タグによってグループ分けを行うことで対応している。

    今後以下の機能が増えることでより便利にBoxを利用できると考えています。

    ・Boxのフォルダに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグの順番をドラッグで並び替えられるようにして欲しい。

  11. Would love to have files/folders in numbered order when more than 9

    In some of my Box Drive folders I would like to number the sub folders/files for best structure. So the folder names would be something like: 1. Budget, 2. Production plan, 3. ...... 10. Casting, 11. Marketing, and so on.
    But when I have more than 9 folders numbered like this they will not keep in the numbered order. 10 and 11 comes before 2 and so on. This drives me and my coworkers crazy. Is there any way to fix this so that they keep in the numbered order 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 and so on?

  12. 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.

  13. Need Tags in Mac Finder to be Supported in Box Drive

    After installing Box Drive, you have to re-tag all of your folders in Finder. As if that is not annoying enough, the folders you tag (colored circles) don't show up when you click on the tags in the sidebar of Finder. Bottom line, Box Drive needs to support Tags in Mac OS' finder just like the Box Sync did.

    MacOS color tags are not synced by Box, as they are purely an OS feature. However, you can mark Box files locally with color tags, and they will be visible in the native macOS search.

    Thanks for your feedback!

  14. Move uploaded files (via an Automation) to different folders based on the file type.

    Use case: Users could bulk upload a range of file types (docx, image pdf, audio etc) into a single folder that redirects each file based on the file type to different folders for different skills processing.
    Example: a word doc and an audio file could be uploaded to the same folder the word doc gets auto moved to a folder that triggers a skill to extract concepts however the audio file is moved to a folder that triggers a speech to text skill (the text could then be auto moved to the same folder as the word doc for concept…

  15. Personal Folder Auto-Creation

    Similar to the Okta feature (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/36802318-Configuring-Box-to-Create-a-Personal-Shared-Folder), this request is for a native option in Box to automatically provision a 'personal folder' for each user upon provisioning (whether provisioned manually, via Bulk Add, or via auto-provisioning).

    Key Requests for this feature:
    --Ability to customize the name of the folder that's created (such as choosing the user's name + 'Personal Folder' or other custom strings of text)
    --The user's personal folder will be created in their own account and they'll be the owner of it, with no other users in it (even if restrict content creation is turned…

  17. Set certain folders to default to searching only within that folder

    As an example, we have a Knowledgeable folder. When users go to that folder and search, I want to confine search to just that folder by default (most users won't want to tick the box).

  18. I would like the ability to lock down the sharing permissions of certain folders.

    The other day, a user “mistakenly” deleted the “All” group from the sharing permissions of our main folder share called “Clients”.

  20. I would like the shared links to be automatically converted into hyperlink format instead of just displaying the URL.

    Similar to how it works in SharePoint, I would like the system to automatically convert shared links into a hyperlink format using the file or folder name, rather than displaying them as a raw URL.
    SharePointで出来るように、共有リンクを作成した際にURL形式ではなく、ファイル名やフォルダ名のハイパーリンク形式に自動変換できるようにしてほしいです。
