Add repeatable sections to forms
Would be great to see repeatable sections in the forms.
So for example you have a set of fields related to some entity, and the user can add multiple entries of this entity by hitting to add additional sections with the same fields in it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, due to competing priorities, this is not currently on our roadmap.

AI-Powered Confirmation Before Adding Collaborators/Sending Links
I’d like Box to add an AI-powered confirmation step when users invite collaborators to a file or folder or send shared links to other users. The AI would quickly scan the content, detect PII or sensitive information, understand the context, and check whether the invited collaborator seems appropriate (e.g., external domain, personal email, unrelated teammate). If something looks unusual, Box would display a confirmation prompt asking the user to verify the invitation. This would help prevent accidental oversharing and reduce security risks caused by human error, while still keeping the collaboration workflow smooth.

Secure open link - Domain white list for open shared link
This request is an idea that will become possible after the following requests are realized.
Secure open link① - Require email address verification with one-time password
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/43755942-secure-open-link-require-email-address-verifica【Summary】
Please add "Allow only email addresses from specific domains to receive one-time passwords" to the Open Link settings.
This will make it possible to prevent secondary distribution and miscommunication, which is a huge issue for Open Link.【Issues to be solved】
Current Open Link is not secure enough as an alternative to attachments.
Compared to attachments, the ability to determine the information of the access source and the ability to block access…15 votes -
Set default branding experience for File Request Links
In an effort to become "Enterprise Grade" and set certain UI preferences as the default, it would be nice if there was a way to have the enterprise UI settings (logo, color, etc) set as the default user experience when creating a new File Request link rather than having to set that manually. This would also help with consistency across the user created links when making them for external facing entities, reducing confusion for third parties.

Real time alert if user accesses Box from a new location/device
Currently we get a Daily Login Activity report. This is a daily report and most important piece of information on it is report of new logins with information like user, device, time, and IP address..
Unfortunately this is daily and can only be on or off.
Requesting the ability to enable real time notification instead of the daily.
As it relates to security, immediate notification is critical for unauthorized access.1 vote -
Improve annotations for Box Previewer UI element
One of the main feature of our proof-of-concept utilizes Box’s concept of collaborations. We want to demonstrate beyond the capability of the basic file/folder sharing by utilizing the Box Previewer UI element and enabling the annotation feature. The annotation is such a great feature to enhance business and client relationship in the digital space. We implemented this feature however we found there are some challenges and we are hoping Box can help us find a solution to create a better experience.
We were able to activate the annotation but only within app users. Both our employee entities and customer…

I want to enable or disable offline use by folder or user in Box for iOS and Android.
I would like to be able to enable or disable offline use for Box for iOS and Android on a per-folder or per-user basis.
I want to be able to disable specific folders or enable or disable offline use on a per-user basis, because the large number of downloads that occur due to offline use can cause congestion in the network.1 vote -
Allow reorganization of received collaborated folders
I would like to request that all users are allowed, as non-folder owners, to place shared folders inside non-shared folders. This allows for better organization for users and therefore an overall better user experience. All other cloud services that I am a part of allow this.
Example:
I own the folders "fruit" and "orange." Someone else owns the folder "apple" and shares it with me. Currently, I cannot place the folder "apple" inside of my "fruit" folder. I would like to request this is changed.Currently, Box permissions (and as it was explained to me, security) does not…

Ability to send Confirmation Link to managed user
Admin would like the ability back to send a confirmation link to managed users. Not reset password like this feature was changed to.

Allow End Users to run a Collaborations Report for Content they Own
As organizations scale, IT Admins may want to enable end users to manage their own content and who has access to this content. Users being able to run a collaborations report and/or a folder and files report on content that they own is important for enabling users to manage their own content collabs so that these responsibilities can be distributed, and don't necessarily fall solely on the admin and security teams who manage Box to audit content and associated collaborations. End users that own content should be empowered with all the tools necessary to manage who…

Language selection setting on user creation step.
Because some users are English-speaking, so they can't read Japanese and operation at the first login to Box is difficult.
However, since most users are Japanese-speaking, they don't want to change the "default language" setting from Japanese to English.3 votes -
Box Events API Collaboration Events don't show the same details as the user activity report
When a User Activity report is generated, we can show events for 'Change user or group role' and 'Removed collaborator'. As part of these records there are additional details provided showing:
From: ROLE, To: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234
Was: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234When using Box Events via API we also see events for
COLLABORATION_ROLE_CHANGEandCOLLABORATION_REMOVE. These line up to the records in the User Details report however they are missing the details about the previous states of the collaboration.As part of our company policy for managing collaborations, I need to be able to fetch the previous…

A function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.
When storing highly confidential information in Box, it is necessary for each end user to recognize that the folder as a whole contains confidential information.
While BoxWeb can recognize folders that confidential information by using classification labels, the mobile app (Box for EMM) cannot.
Since users need to be aware that the folder as a whole handles confidential information, please implement a function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.<モバイルアプリからフォルダレベルの分類ラベルを確認できる機能>
Boxへ機密性の高い情報を格納するにあたり、エンドユーザーそれぞれがフォルダ全体として機密情報が格納されていることを認識する必要があると考えます。
BoxWebからは分類ラベルを利用することで機密情報保管フォルダを認識可能ですが、モバイルアプリ(Box for EMM)からでは確認できません。
フォルダ全体として機微情報を扱うフォルダであることをユーザーに認識づける必要があるため、モバイルアプリからフォルダレベルで分類ラベルを確認できる機能を実装してください。12 votes -
Folder Sync Prioritization from User
Box Sync Prioritization**
I know my coworker has been working in Folder A, and has uploaded or updated new documents.
We are handing off the project, and so I know I need to access them as soon as I can...
I should be able to hit prioritize Folder A so that that is the first set of files that need to be synced to my system. Folder A gets pushed to the front of the queue and all other files get put on hold until I get what I need synced. This could save me hours.

Ability to invite external unmanaged users into Box Apps
We are requesting a new feature that allows external (unmanaged) users to be invited into Box Apps.
Use Case Example:
A law firm wants to share categorized legal documents with their clients through Box. Currently, Box Apps enable internal users to view and manage files with rich metadata, making it easy to organize and automate workflows. However, clients cannot access these metadata views directly. Customers should have the ability to view this structure and even work with it to launch automations and processes, as well as search their documents more easily.24 votes -
Behavior when searching for and specifying a user name by using the suggestion function in Japanese
If a user wants to email the user with a shared link URL or folder sharing when using Box, and then tries to search using the name of the Box account in Japanese, the cursor must be moved to another location after the first one has been specified. I would like you to eliminate this unnecessary cursor movement and make it possible to search by user name continuously.

② Enter "山田" in Japanese ⇒ Several candidates appear.
③ Candidate confirmed.
④ Next, for example, enter "佐藤" ⇒ no…2 votes -

Selective Bulk Trash Restoration
Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.
The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.
Example:

Notify me when a file is unlocked by another collaborator
When a file is locked for editing by another user, on a case-by-case basis, I would like to be notified via email when that file is unlocked.
Either:
- a file-setting that always notifies me after a user unlocks a specific file or
- a one-off subscription to a file when it is locked that I can set that notifies me via email when that file is unlocked. After this one-off notice occurs, the subscription would be deleted.
