  1. Have a Sync Now option for files

    Box Sync on Windows 10 consistently fails to sync, but claims to be up to date. I can see the actual current version on the website, by my local persistently stays several versions back. Fixing that would be great, but also just giving a way to say, "I know you think you're up to date, but sync anyway" would make this less frustrating.

  2. If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box, some files in the folder cannot be uploaded

    If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box (webpage), some files in the folder cannot be uploaded. I find this problem persist and happen more than once. Why?

    This is annoying because after I upload a folder, I need to check manually whether all files in that folder has been correctly uploaded. "Upload folder" function become useless.

  4. remove image files from people's HTML email signature

    The ability to have small image files removed from people's HTML email signature. It would be nice to have a way to filter these out or add a workflow that deletes these.

  5. filter the activity report with specific classification

    We want to get the activity reports for specific classification(just like specifying the folder).

    We need to audit user activities for confidential files every quarter. Current activity reports can only specify the user, date, folder and action, not classification.

  6. Send in-app notification for failed bulk move/copy.

    Box Notification on account (not email notification) for failed moves.

    When copying or moving a large numbers of files, sometimes those moves fail.

    We would like to be notified about files that failed to copy or move

  7. I have some files sorted into collections. It would be great if I could select all the files and tag them.

    Currently you have to tag each file in a collection individually. If you select all the tag option disappears.

  8. Managing/Drawing Diagrams in Box

    Box already integrate MS Office to be able to temporary dowload a office document for edit but also allows to update MS Office documents online in the browser.

    I would like to see similar functionality for diagrams.

    Draw.IO is a diagram tool that you can use offline and online app.diagrams.net
    So it would be easy to provide working with diagrams in Box very easy.

    Function A: Online Editing of draw.io files with embedded drawio or passing it to app.diagrams.net

    Function B: Allows to temporary download drawio files same as with ms office documents.

  9. Version control - multiple uploads of the same file

    Person A uploads file 1 then person B uploads a new version file 2 as a separate file instead of using the upload new version feature. Same thing for person C and D with files 3 and 4 with 4 being the latest. Any editor should be able to select these multiple files and merge them into one where the files are autosorted according to date. So one file with file 1 as the file name but the contents show file 4 as the latest and if you check version history, you'll see files 1, 2, & 3.

    Thank you…

  12. Support for Context Menu Actions on Multiple Files in Box Integrations

    developer community post

    Dear Box Product Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I recently reached out regarding an issue I encountered while developing an integration for Box, specifically related to context menu actions on multiple files. Upon discussing the matter with your developer advocate, I was informed that the behavior I observed, where context menu options are not available for multiple file selections, is by design.

    While I understand that there may be considerations and design decisions behind this behavior, I would like to provide feedback from a developer's perspective. It would greatly enhance the flexibility and…

  14. Sort underscores consistently

    We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

  15. The view of files and folders in the Web UI should load dynamically, not be paginated.

    Currently, the default experience in the web UI is to paginate the view of files and folders, showing just 20 at a time. That's a pretty antiquated way of displaying a long list--most modern websites, including Box's competitors, just dynamically load more items as you scroll to the bottom of the page. I just finished helping one of our users who was very confused by this: he didn't notice the pagination buttons, and didn't understand where his file had disappeared to.

  16. Metadata Versioning History

    As we need to meet specific regulatory or compliance requirements, it's helpful to have a history of the metadata attributes that are applied to a folder or file.

    It would be ideal if this was versioned on files/folders in the UI or reportable via user reports.

    Although we do not plan to introduce this feature in the near term, we recognize its importance. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

  17. Expose EXIF Metadata in the Box Webapp when Media (Photo, etc.) is Uploaded via Box Mobile App

    Currently we do not expose media EXIF metadata (location info, camera type, etc.) for files uploaded to Box using the standard Box mobile apps (we do for media uploaded through Capture though).

    This request is to provide a similar experience like we've already implemented with Capture.

  18. Block file extensions lists in Shield malware detection

    As part of Governance it is possible to move certain file types to a Quarantine folder. This is useful for a lot of ransomwares, as they change the extension of files.

    Currently this "old" functionality has not yet been moved to Shield. Shield does have a malware detection, which uses threat detection technology. We would like to have the ability to extend this with a list of known extensions.

  19. Ability for users to track activity

    In the Closed configuration ,Only admins and co-admins can track activity on the files listed at the URLs below.
    Users cannot be tracked.
    If users can export reports, they can perform on themselves statistical analysis.
    As a result, it becomes possible to actively use Box.
    So I want users to be included in the targets that can be exported.

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594-Tracking-User-Activity-on-Files#:~:text=If%20your%20admin%20enabled%20Restrict%20Content%20Creation%2C%20only%20the%20primary%20admin%20and%20co%2Dadmin%20can%20export%20Content%20Insights%20reports.

  20. Add an option to File Request only for managed users

    We would like to gather files from internal managed users avoiding spoofing. Currently, one way is to use collaboration as uploader permission but uploader can still see file name each other where multiple users are collaborated. We need to make users authenticate and do not want to let them see information of other's uploaded files.
