I'm a sole proprietor and need your Business Plus features
Hello, I'm coming back to our exchange on Twitter from earlier today.
I was a Box user between 2013-18 when my business started to grow and my Box plan became too limited. Also the branding of my file exchange service became a must.
Back then I wanted to switch to Business Plus but the minimum of 3 payed users made this way too expensive and also simply unreasonable for me as a one-man show. I exchanged various emails with your support and spoke with your office in Munich about whether it was possible to offer a One User Business Plus…

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…

Box Automate: Excel Integration
We need a supported way to connect Box Automate with Microsoft Excel, including integration with Power Automate, so workflows can add rows to Excel tables, update cells, and write data to workbooks stored in Box.
Please provide native integration or an official connector that enables secure read/write operations, so users can automate these processes without custom development or moving files to another storage service.
(Japanese)
Box AutomateとMicrosoft Excelを連携し、Power Automateを利用する方法も含め、Boxに保存されたExcelファイルへの行追加、セル更新、データ書き込みを実行できるようにしてほしいです。Excelを安全に読み書きできるネイティブ連携または公式コネクタを提供し、個別開発や別ストレージへの移動なしで業務を自動化できるようにしてください。

Setting tags for each folder
For example, I would like to see the setting inherited by a specific folder and its subfolders, similar to the "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" in the email notification in the folder settings.
In a tenant with many end users, tags can be disorganized.
For example, if you try to create a tag for December, some users may find that there are many ways to describe the month, and when they try to search for a tag, they may not be able to find the desired tag.
For this reason, many tenants restrict the creation of…4 votes -
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,…

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…

I followed simple steps to use box application to share some business information with external stakeholder.

Add notification for users when changing a template, that existing workflows using the template will not be changed.
Only new workflows from that point forward would be affected.

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

(Display of "Some parts could not be uploaded" even though not all could be uploaded)
・It is a terrible display of expression.

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」
iPadにて、あるアプリで開いているデータやブラウザ上でみているデータをBOXの所定のフォルダに格納しようとするときに、共有先アプリとしてBOXを選択すると、格納先選択のフォルダに、『すべてのファイル』しか出てこないので、目的のフォルダに辿り着くまでに時間がかかってしまっております。

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Bring back "Open Containing Folder" to the top of the Box Note menu (or allow customization)
Hi Box Team,
I would like to share some feedback regarding the user interface of Box Notes.
Previously, the option to open the folder containing the current Box Note was located right at the top of the hamburger menu. This was incredibly convenient. However, with recent updates, this option has been pushed further and further down the list.
To be honest, actions like viewing comments or inserting images are rarely used in my daily workflow compared to navigating back to the source folder. Having to scroll down every single time just to open the folder has made the user experience…

AI studio governance - permissions and sandbox
As a confederation, we need to decentralize the creation and management of custom agents. This requires the following elements:
- Agent creation permission should not require co-admin permission (co-admin receive notifications not relevant to agent creators)
- Agent creators must have access to specific environments and not to all agents. This prevents accessing agents that are managed by others, and also allows creating test environments for experimentation
- Paid AI credits must be allocated to environments so environment admins have appropriate controls/limits over their consumption3 votes
