When removing access to Content page, please allow us to remove access to the File Request Link tab as well
When configurating a Co-Admin for Reporting Only rights, it enables the Content link in addition to reporting. Ideally, they would just see the 'Reporting' link under the Co-Admin links. I assume this is because reporting encompasses running reports as well as seeing other reports. The odd thing is that the Content section shows folders for Prior User for some reason. Ideally they wouldn't see Content section, or the right could be spiked out to allow them to see their own reports, but not others so no 'Content' link would be needed. Some reports can and do contain sensitive info, and granting reporting allows them to see any of those reports from any other admin or Co-Admin?

Hi there! I want to be able to embed the Box Hubs AI chat box on Sharepoint.
The idea: A user visits the intranet, navigates to policies, and can ask about any of our internal policies. The box hub behind it would be full of our policies / documentation. But all the user see's is the Box Hubs Chat Box where they can type human language in about their vacation time or whatever.

Customizable Disclaimer Box When First Accessing Box AI
Would like to have a customizable box that an end user could check that they have read when first using Box AI - this box could point to our AI governance and terms. Ideally, they check that they've read the disclaimer and can then us Box AI against their files.

Admin View for Large Content Moves
Iterating on a feature request ["Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)"]
It would be great for an admin to have a holistic view of content moves across the enterprise. A report with triggered moves in progress could be a good start (including triggering action/user, folder ID and name, etc), with an eye toward a progress bar or something more detailed in the admin console.

Enhance Box AI Responses to Include Clickable Hyperlinks
When Box AI references or cites a document containing a hyperlink, the main text of the response currently displays the hyperlink as plain text. To improve usability and streamline navigation, Box AI should format these hyperlinks as clickable links.
This enhancement would significantly improve the user experience by enabling direct access to the referenced content.

Box Hubs - Ability to Share Hub with All Managed Users
We have a number of Hubs that are geared towards providing information to all employees. As such, it would be great to be able to share a Hub with all managed users. In addition, it would be helpful to have the ability to share any file or folder with all managed users without having to create and manage and all users group or adding multiple groups to a file/folder to accomplish this.

We would like to actively monitor the status of Box Shield and the Shield settings applied to our enterprise and environments.
We would like to actively monitor the status of Box Shield and the Shield settings applied to our enterprise and environments.
Doing so will provide the assurance needed that Box Shield is protecting us from threats, and mean we do not need to layer on our own file scanning as a backup.

Setting Folder Autodelete via API
The automatic deletion date of a folder can be set from the web screen, but it seems that it cannot be set from the API.
Could you please provide the ability to set this date from the API?
We have a process that automatically creates thousands of folders using the API, but since it is not possible to set an automatic deletion date, a large number of past folders will continue to remain.

Remove unnecessary newlines from Box Notes when copying to other plain text apps
When I copy a list of lines from Box Notes to a plain text editor on MacOS, it always inserts newlines between each two lines. It does not matter if you Cmd + V or Cmd + Shift + V, the newlines still remain.
I don't know what the issue is, but this needs to be fixed. I do not want to spend the time removing the extra newlines when we're copying form Box Notes to somewhere else. It is a waste of time and also worth considering other cloud note tools that might prevent this from happening.

Dynamically name signed documents based on metadata: signer's full name, company, email and others
When there are documents in the same folder or templates that are repeatably signed with the same name (Ready Sign Link, Batch Send), Box Sign adds a number and () to the filename to note the different/unique files.
There needs to be a better way to name the files - perhaps using metadata or using the unique id of the sign request. And then all files - signed docs and signed log would be renamed with the same name. Otherwise it's very hard to tell files apart when they all have the same name with just a number and () in them

Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users.: Want ability to embed AI Agents, and assign an Agent to a Hub.
Hi there! I'm trying to make the power of Box AI accessible to my users. Right now the best thing would be to give them a chatbot to read HR documents, on our Intranet in Sharepoint.
I would love to be able to embed ONLY the Agent into Sharepoint, but so far we can only embed the Box Hub. Therefore if my user wants to ask about their HR benifits, my user has to:
1. Go to the HR Sharepoint Site (where they normally find info on employee benefits, etc.)
2. Unlock the blue/white Box Cloud image (see: "RC HR Screenshot 0 - Embedded into Sharepoint.png")
3. Read my instructions on the hub, ignore the folders in the hub, and click the Box AI button (see: "RC HR Screenshot 1 - user reads instructions.png")
4. Change the Default AI Agent (see: "RC HR Screenshot 2 - default AI Agent.png")
5. The user has to somehow know that they're using the default AI agent, and they need to use the dropdown to the proper HR Agent "HeberBot" (see: RC HR Screenshot 3 - Dropdown to proper Agent.png)
6. then finally type their question.I would love for this to be simplified somehow. Can you suggest other ways, or let me know if there's something that box has planned to simplify this? The best outcome would be: I would love for my user to go to the HR site, and type questions to the correct AI Agent.
So I guess this request can be broken down to 2 technical asks:
1. Embed Box AI Agents/chatboxes directly into sharepoint.
2. Allow admins to assign specific AI Agents to specific Box Hubs. ( For example, my HR agent to my HR document hub. And inherantly disallow the default Box AI agent, or other AI Agents)Hi there!

Inline comments in Excel
There is Inline comment option available for Microsoft Word in BOX Web. We can select a particular text and comment on it, which will be available in Activity also. But there is no option to select a Text in Excel and add an Inline comment on it. This feature is available only in Microsoft Excel online, but those comments are not reflected in Activity. It would be better if there is an Inline comment option available for Excel also.

Display of Box folder structure
【Home screen】
Request: I want the folder tree to not close even if I open a file from the folder tree in a new tab.
Background: When opening multiple files from the same folder tree, it is necessary to reopen each file, which reduces work efficiency.【Each folder】
Request: I want to be able to display a folder tree like BoxDrive on BoxWeb.
I want the folder tree in the open folder to be displayed including the upper hierarchy.
Background: When opening a folder tree for each folder, you often want to check the contents of the subfolders as well.
Also, since there are cases where you want to refer to files in other folders in a higher-level folder, you should also display the higher-level folders.(日本語)
件名：Boxフォルダ構成の表示について

要望：フォルダーツリーからファイルを別タブで開いた場合でも、フォルダーツリーが閉じないようにしたい
背景：同じフォルダツリーから複数ファイルを開いた場合、都度開き直しが必要となり作業効率が低下する為【各フォルダ】
要望：BoxWeb上でBoxDriveのようなフォルダツリーを表示可能にしたい
上階層も含め表示、開いているフォルダ内のフォルダーツリーは開いている表示にして欲しい
背景：各フォルダでフォルダツリーを開く場合は、あわせて下位フォルダの中身も確認したい場合も多い為
また上位フォルダの別フォルダ内のファイルを参照したい場合もあるので、上位フォルダも表示して欲しい【Home screen】

Renaming a File with Box Edit (Box Tools)
Editing is only permitted using Box Edit as per company regulations.
Box Edit does not allow you to change the file name when editing a file.
Box for Office Online and Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing allow you to rename files as you edit them.
We would like to see Box Edit improve the functionality to allow file names to be renamed as changes are made, just like other features.会社の決まりでBox Editを利用した場合のみ編集を許可しています。
Box Editでは、ファイル編集時に名称を変更することができません。Box for Office OnlineやBox for Microsoft Office 共同編集機能では、編集の際にファイルの名称を変更することが可能です。
他の機能と同様に、Box Editでも変更時にファイル名を変更できるよう機能改善を要望します。2 votes -
Bulk change link permissions for subfolders and files
As it stands if you create a folder with shared link permissions to be invited people only and then you add files and subfolders, if you change the permissions of the parent folder to change to anyone in your company, they don't propagate, nor do files added after inherit the parent folders permissions which were changed previously. It would be good if when making a change that you are prompted to allow waterfall permissions to subfolders and files or to not. I know this can be done with CLI, but there should be an easier way for end users to apply permissions in bulk, and certainly have the contents of the file inherit the new permissions of the parent folder. It would also seem to make sense that any new files or subfolders created would inherit the new permissions.

There's no need for the "Launching Application" popup... I know its opening, I just clicked for it to open...
When selecting “Open With” and opening a file this notification pops up:
Launching Application
... is opening in Adobe Acrobat. Saving your file will save changes directly back to
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 couldn't that be a different pop up somewhere else? Does it need to be when opening a file?
Or have it automatically go away after a few secons and open the file, I just hate having to click close a hundred times a day.

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.

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。
