Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID
Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range…

Request about 'People in your company' for shared links
There is a permission called "People in your company" for shared links.
When a link is set to "People in your company", it can be viewed by "People in your company" and "Invited people only".
Some end users think this is confusing.Please change the name of the item to "People in your company and Invited people only".
ご要望:
共有リンクの「会社のユーザー」という権限があります。
「会社のユーザー」権限を設定した共有リンクは、「会社のユーザー」と「招待されたユーザー」が閲覧可能です。
これが紛らわしいというエンドユーザーがいます。そのため、項目名を「会社のユーザーと招待されたユーザー」に変更して欲しいです。

Improve messaging when moving folders between owners
Currently in the web app, a co-owner of a folder is able to move that folder to another location with different ownership. It makes sense that this is allowed and I don't want that to change. However, when the user does this action, they are presented first with an error dialog that suggests the action failed. If they click the "Details" button, they then see a confirmation dialog that ultimately lets them complete the operation.
I think a confirmation dialog is appropriate, but it should be presented to the user immediately and not hidden behind the initial error dialog.

Unable to add a content to a Hub site due to folder settings and Enterprise settings
When an user who is invited as editor to contents at folder level or file level tries to choose q folder or file to add a Hub site, those files and folders are grayed out and unable to choose.

or
/At folder settings, "only folder owenrs and co-owners can send collaborators invites" is checkedThis is bit strange because the user is editor, but it seems that…

Sync alias/shortcut files on Box Drive
Box Drive currently does not support syncing alias files (I think these are called shortcuts on Windows machine), which is a basic file organization tool. Alternatively, expose the favorites from the box web app on box drive. At present, it's impossible to organize a list of your truly active files while working solely within Box Drive. Seems like making these file types available for syncing would be a simple solution to implement.

Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

share reports in a parent folder
When you create a weekly scheduled report (User Activity report for example) and share it with a user (as a Viewer), this user sees too many folder named "User Activity run on xxxxxx".
It is because it's the report subfolder that is shared with the user, and not the "Box reports" folder.Is it possible to store scheduled reports inside a parent folder (like "Box user reports") or a named one by the administrator creating the report ?

Create a new workflow, after the folder creation.
We want to create a new workflow, after the folder creation.
We are planning to have two types of flows, "Project folder creation flow" & "Approval flow(under the newly created folder)".
The "Project folder creation" is fine, but for "Approval flow" we need to create it each time after new project folder has created.
So it would be great if we can create the "Approval flow" after the project folder has created.Project folder creation
Trigger: Folder creation
Outcome: Copy the prepared folders underneath the folder which triggered the relay.
the prepared folders include "Review" and "Approved" folders.Approval…

Don't have incidence on rights in a tree when rights are updated in sub-folders
When You put rights on a root folder, if You need to change the rights for an user in sub-folder, the impact is on the whole tree and this is not really cool... The best way is to keep the rights functionality but to forget the incidence when You change rights on sub-folders.
It's very important !2 votes -
About the scope of expiration notice to co-owners.
Currently the expiration of the invited user to a folder is notified to the owner and co-owner of the folder,
however, any co-owner cannot receive the expiration of the invitee of its child folder while owner receives all the expiration notification.We would like to request to cascade the scope of co-owner's privilege to its child folders so that the co-owner of the parent folder can receive all the expiration notification of the descendant folders.

Ability to disable the feature to send shared link by email.
When the customer send email to external user, it is necessary to put superiors in CC according to their company rules.
This feature does not match the company rules because it can not put anyone in CC, so they want to disable it to prevent users send email without approve.10 votes -
Folder and file reports are output in a tree format, making it easier to understand the folder hierarchy.
The new platform version of the Folders and Files report is sorted by creation date by default.
This does not fulfill the role of a folder tree report.
If folders are not specified, sorting by all folder/file IDs, etc. into a tree format is impractical and affects business operations(Japanese)
「フォルダ・ファイルレポートがツリー形式で出力されることによって、フォルダ階層が分かりやすくなる。」新プラットフォーム版のフォルダとファイルレポートはデフォルトで作成日順でソートされます。
これではフォルダツリーレポートの役割を果たしていません。
フォルダを指定しない場合、すべてのフォルダ・ファイルID等でツリー形式にソートするのは現実的ではなく業務に影響します。13 votes -

Allow Auto-creation and Auto-deletion of Box folders in NetSuite per record
Introduce functionality within the Box–NetSuite integration to automatically create associated Box folders when a NetSuite record is created, eliminating the need for users to manually click the “Default” button.
Additionally, enable automatic deletion of the corresponding Box folder when the related NetSuite record is deleted, ensuring better data hygiene and consistency between systems.
As part of this enhancement, provide administrators or consultants with the ability to toggle this feature on or off by record type, allowing organizations to apply automation selectively based on their business needs.Benefits:
- Reduces manual user actions and wait time for folder creation
- Improves…2 votes -
