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”.

View Tags in Collections
The organization heavily uses tags to help with search and sorting. We'd like to have our Tags show on files folders/files when looking at a Collection
21 votesThanks for the suggestion! We are currently gathering feedback on Collections in order to prioritize future enhancements. This is not planned right now, but may be considered in a future cycle.

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).

Ability to auto-delete content when a shared link expires
We would like the ability for content to auto-delete upon a specified expiry of a shared link.
Specifically, we feel this would give us better control over removing not only the sharing but the content itself and automate some processes we have.

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…2 votes -
Could you have fewer user titles? Currently there are: Shared link, Linked user, Collaborator, Seat, Admin, Managed user, and External User

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。

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.
89 votesMacOS 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!

Bulk edit folder settings in the admin console
Grant the ability to bulk edit folder settings in the Admin Console. We recently made changes to our Enterprise folder settings. Updating these settings was not completely retroactive and did not propagate for all subfolders, resulting in either having to update folders individually or using the API. We would like the ability to have a feature for bulk editing folder settings natively in the Admin Console that can be retroactive and will propagate to subfolders.

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
|- Zand 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.10 votes -
Folder ownership transfer warning message
When transferring ownership of folders, there is no warning message that it will take some time, and no warning that it will make those folders/files inoperable until every folder has been successfully transfered to a new user.
Can we please add a warning that ownership changes to folders will sometimes take days depending on the file size, and that none of the files/folders can be used until the ownership transfer is complete? Not having this warning caused 4 days of downtime for my company.

Use Box with Adobe Acrobat CE Professional and it's "Shared Review" concept
it can be used when all reviewers have a shared UNC (windows network path) to the same file. We would like to use it with third parties + Box

Automatically generate a password for the shared link
I would like to request the addition of a feature that generates a random password meeting the password requirements on the screen where users create an open sharing link and are prompted to set a password.
When there is a requirement to set a password, manually creating a password each time can be burdensome.3 votes -
We want users to be able to output a "folder and file" report for each folder.
(Japanese follows English)
Currently, only administrators can output the "Folders and Files" report.
We would like users with editor permissions for the target folder to be able to output a "Folder and File" report for each folder.
At that time, We would like to be able to select whether the report will be output to that folder or the output destination.現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートは管理者しか出力できません。
対象のフォルダに対し編集者権限を持つユーザーが、フォルダ単位で「フォルダとファイル」レポートを
出力できるようにしてほしいです。
その際レポートの出力先はそのフォルダ内か、出力先を選択できると望ましいです。49 votes -
I want to be able to set Relay triggers for folders as well.
Due to Relay specifications, only "files that triggered the flow" can be selected.
In our business, we want to copy uploaded folders to another folder automatically, but it is time-consuming to manually select the destination folder each time.
Therefore, we would like to be able to set triggers for folders.
(Japan)
Relayの仕様上、「フローをトリガーしたファイル」しか選択できない。
業務上、アップロードしたフォルダを自動的に別フォルダへコピーしたいが手動で毎回コピー先をフォルダを選択するため手間が掛かってしまいます。
そのためフォルダを対象にトリガー設定できるようにしたい。2 votes -
Ability to sort folders/file when choosing where to upload images on Mobile app
When trying to upload multiple photos from my phone to Box, it does not allow me to SORT the folders/file in order to find the folder/file I want the photos placed in. I am forced to manually scroll through literally 100s of folders - which seem to be in order of most recently used which is not helpful - until I find it. You should be able to sort the folders, at minimum to put them in alphabetical order or by date etc so that you can find the place to upload them more easily.

Ability to Pin Box note to the top of a box folder
I would like to be able to pin a box note to the top of the folder list within a box folder. (I set up folders for project teams and I generate a box note for the document and information management guidelines for the team. It would be good if it was at the top of the list (or pinned to the side).

folder-setting to restrict who can classify content.
Want more granular control over who can apply classification labels — specifically:
Restrict end users from applying classifications to content that is shared via public/shared links.
Allow only folder owners or admins to apply classifications in those scenarios.
Still allow end users to apply restrictive/internal-only classifications to content that is not publicly shared (i.e., stays within the organization).

"Are you sure" pop-up when dragging & and dropping folders
I'd like a pop-up message confirming if I'm sure to appear when trying to drag and drop folders on the web app. Especially in a GxP environment this is important to reduce risk of human error.

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.
