I would like enhanced notifications for public liniks
I would the ability to receive notifications for downloads of Shared links (that is, publicly accessible links, not requiring a login). Further, I would like the ability to demand an email address be entered before the download occurs. You can demand an email address on public upload request, and it would be great to be able to do the same for a download.

Automate Outcome Based on Metadata Field Change
We would like an Automate outcome based on a change to a metadata field that was assigned in a previous outcome. An example would be in an HR recruiting workflow when the Role Stage metadata field changes to BC Complete a Send Notification outcome fires notifying applicable teams, HR, IT, Manager, etc. to begin preparations for the new employee.
As it stands now, the only way we've found to do this is by assigning a task to the recruiter.
The issue is that there are always multiple positions being worked at any given time and some positions take weeks or…1 vote -
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.

Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support
I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests,…

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…

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.
The contents are summarized in the attached documents, so please check them.I would like to provide only a summary of the questions and requests.
I was able to verify the environment where uploading is not possible, but the screen display during operation is
・Incorrect display
(Display of "Some parts could not be uploaded" even though not all could be uploaded)
・It is a terrible display of expression.

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…

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.

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…

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 -
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」

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。

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.

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…

Deletion confirmation prompt on Amsterdam
In the Legacy Webapp, when a user deletes content, they get a pop-up to confirm the deletion.
However in Amsterdam, they're only getting a black pop-up notification for the deletion with the 'Undo' Button.
The enterprise would like to see the pop-up confirmation in Amsterdam too!

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.

Allow Admins to Monitor for Sync Errors
Currently if there are any sync errors in Box Drive the only way to identify them is for the user to notice the toast notification or click on the Box Drive systray icon. Relying on the end user to report errors is not reliable and almost caused us to lose data going back several years.
The only way errors are logged is in the Box Drive log files but no one from Box or Box Support is willing to share how those are logged for admins to monitor.
Box Drive needs to better log any errors encountered so admins can…

Logging in to Box from a shared link should not redirect to home
With the current iteration of Box, when you follow a shared link while not logged in, the only way to log in is to click "Go to My Account" which directs you to your home page on your Box Account. This requires re-following the link again to get to the shared item as a logged in user. This adds several additional clicks to the simple task of following a shared link from an internal email regarding new comments on an item, for example.
This was not the case in the past, where there was a "Log In to My Account"…

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

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…

Ability to search files by SHA1 value
Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.
Key use cases:
1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)SHA1 values are referenced here:
