  1. 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。

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

  3. I want to be allowed to define a property such as shared-links-target-policy where I will be able to control where a shared link opens

    As the publisher of box shared links I want to be able to define the target-opening policy as for example one of the following "browser", "app", "client" in which 3rd option that choice would be defaulted to "browser" having the end app user change this during installation of app. Also when a url gets intercepted by the box app I believe 99% of the users don't realise that it is the app that asks for login to show content and they complaint to the publisher of the link saying that they don't have anonymous access to the shares as the…

  4. 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

    We have no plans to support this specific request in the near-term. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

    (日本語訳)
    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。

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin

    For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
    Folders with online status
    Folders with downloaded status
    ・Files with downloaded status

    One of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
    However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.

    We feel that the…

  11. 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。

  12. 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).

  13. 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。

  14. Make Shared Excel files only editable in Excel online, not downloadable.

    Create an access level for Word and Excel files that allows the user to edit them online, but not download them to /upload a new version of them from their computer. Basically, online edit only.

  15. 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?

  16. 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).

  17. Box Relay outcome to Apply Classification to a folder dynamically

    It would be helpful if Box Relay would have the ability to apply a classification to the folder where the workflow was triggered on dynamically as an outcome, which would also classify all content within that folder structure as well. This would allow applying classifications to the folder that a new file event trigger happened in for example, which would then flow classifications to all content and sub-folders in that folder structure.

  18. Warning about creating folders with invalid characters

    The web application does not currently warn users about creating folders with invalid characters. For example, if you create a folder name that ends in a period [.] via the web, that folder never comes down to the Box client on a Windows machine. This is a limitation of windows.

    However, other cloud providers WARN users before creating the folder in the first place and some even prevent the creation of the folder (Egnyte for instance).

    A warning of "The folder you are creating contains an invalid character that may not be visible to users on Windows machines" or something…

  19. "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.
