Improve Installer UX: Update Branding + Tell User What to Do
The Box Edit installer has 2 key issues today:
- It is old Box branding
- It doesn't actually tell the user what they need to do (which is to double-click the icon)
Many other modern installers, including the Box Sync installer, at least have an arrow or additional guidance telling the user to 'drag here' or 'double click to start the installation'. Box Edit doesn't have either of these, which means users end up confused about what they actually need to do.
REQUEST: On the Edit installer, tell the user what to do. Aka add text that says "Double click…

Show full filename in Box Search
Box Search cuts off long file names. If the file name is prefaced with the date or other info, the information one actually needs from the file name may be hidden from the user.
This can be solved by making the Box Search window larger, making it as large as the longest filename, or by showing the filename when a user mouses over the filename or file icon, or when a user uses the arrow keys to select (but not yet open) a file in the Box Search results.

Box Sync to Box Drive uninstall/install tool
I currently have Box Sync installed across the enterprise and want to move over to Box Drive without each user having to manually uninstall sync and install drive. Looking for a tool that would allow end users to perform uninstall and install all at once.

Copy file in workflow should create a new version if file already exists
I am creating Quality Management workflows. At the end of the workflow the released document is copied to a new area, that is shared with the consumers of the QM-documentation.
Works fine the first time we run the workflows. If we update the document and run the workflow again, the target file is not versioned: we get a new file with the same name and a timestamp added to it.
I appreciate this behaviour in some situations and understand why you have chosen this solution. However we would like to have the option in the workflow to "version the file,…

Please be able to specify which users can use the Box Graph Connector.
Currently, the Box Graph Connector is enabled for users tenant-wide, but we would like to be able to enable it for specific users.
For example, if some users are using Copilot for Microsoft 365, we need to be able to specify that only users who can use Copilot for M365 can use Box Graph Connector.

File Request link upload notification
We want a feature of email notification which send to the actual user who uploaded the file.
I understand that if "require users to provide email" option is enabled, users can confirm the uploader's email address on web app. I found that the email address was shown in “Updated” column.
However, users cannot confirm the actual uploader from the report, and email notifications will only be sent to users who enabled notification settings of "upload" in their folder settings or account settings.
Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm if the user successfully…

I would like Box Sign to have more flexible permission settings.
When Box Sign is enabled for a user, he/she can send sign requests, check the contents of requests shared with them, and view their inbox.
However, there are users for whom I do not want to allow sending sign requests, but I do want them to be able to check their inbox.For example, our executives who frequently approve or sign documents in Box Sign but do not need to send signature requests by themselves.
I believe it is a potential security risk to give users the authority to send signature requests even though they do not…24 votes -
Provide a way to remove duplicate files throughout a folder and all sub folders
I have a user who copied all the content in multiple folders some how and created duplicate files everywhere in the folder structure. All the duplicate files had a (1) at the end but also had a few files with (email address) at the end as well. Not sure why the (email address) showed up at the end, over the (1).
Never the less, I need a way as an admin or even a user to search for all duplicate files, within a folder/sub folders, and allow me to find all files with *(1) and provide me the list of…

Proxy user ID for C-Level profiles
For executive level users, or high public visibility folks, provide a method to suppress, or proxy their actual username. These are often tied to Single Sign On accounts, hidden at the global level, but visible in local apps, like Box. We have a workaround in creating a surrogate account, but it would be nice to simply add a proxy directly in Box to allow these individuals to log in through the normal Company Single Sign On process.

Trashed items: include details about the deleter
When a user makes a GET call for all trashed items, the response does not include details (name/user ID) of the user who trashed each item. This is inconsistent with the Web App view of a user's trash. The Web App view includes the name of the item deleter.

Add a report that lists metadata set for folders and files.
There are many metadata templates, and each users can set them.
In this situation, being able to see in lists what metadatas are actually applied to which files/folders and what values are set can be very helpful in managing contents and metadata.102 votesThe ability to optionally include Metadata in Folders and Files report has been delivered and is generally available (GA).

Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved
We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.
【Details】
Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the…32 votesUnfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

Improve way to update lock status of a file
When a file is locked by a user in Box Drive, users who are looking at the same file at that time via web browser will not noticed the file is locked until they refresh the page. We would like to have the lock status updated in a more dynamic manner without the need for a page refresh

Have Box Notes Accessed via Drive Open in Box Notes Desktop Application
Right now, when a user opens a Box Note from Drive on their desktop, the note is opened in the webapp, rather than the Box Notes desktop app they have installed.
A better flow would be to have those notes open in the Notes desktop app instead

Google Workspace - Add Collaborators/Check for Collaborators
The Google Workspace add-on only allows you to create a Shared Link to share files/folders, you cannot add/remove collaborators. It would be great to have the ability to add folks as collaborators, rather than just choosing from Shared Link settings. Additionally, it would be great if when sharing the file it could be recognized that recipients on the email and/or calendar invite do not have existing permissions to the file/folder (similar to what Google does.)

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.
