  1. Report on Sync Incidents or Errors

    A lot of the time, Sync errors are because of users. If you classify and identify these errors for our admin, it can help them use Sync better or identify a way to leverage Web App/Box Drive

  2. Update the web app to support up to 1 TB of content, at least 10,000 folders

    Update the web app to support up to 1 TB of content, at least 10,000 folders.

    The Box Web App doesn't support large folder structures. I can successfully upload a folder with >100 GB of content (files are no larger than 4 GB each), and I can share the link. But the web interface only supports download of folders with up to 10 GB of content, even though Box supports files up to 32 GB! To download the folder, the user must use Box Drive or other client, which isn't an option for users without a Box account on the…

  3. Detailed content access reporting by location, client, user, etc.

    We'd like to see a report in the Admin Console that shows where content is being accessed from and by whom, specifically for mobile (iOS or Android, etc.); but other information like Box Drive or Web App would also be helpful.

  4. Revoke access via OAuth/API

  5. Total File Count by File Type via Admin Console

    We would like to see how many files are in Box at any given time and by file type. This would help drive the seamless use of Box across our org. due to the amount of content we already have stored.

    This information is available via API or by using overall size of storage as the proxy for number of files if possible

  6. Allow Device Pinning for web

    Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-Pinning

    However, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
    https://app.box.com/master/settings/devices

    Using sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
    https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734

    Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

  7. Develop uninstaller app for Mac users

    The current process for uninstalling Box Drive on a Mac requires the user to manually remove a number of items through Terminal. This will be very intimidating to the majority of end users and will increase the need for support from Box.

  8. Limit the number of Box files/folders that can be Marked for Offline use

  9. Allow http://127.0.0.1 as redirect_url in published box apps

    It is currently disallowed to use redirect_urls of the form http://127.0.0.1 in published apps.

    These give the error "insecureredirecturi".

    These are allowed in unpublished apps.

    Having a redirect to 127.0.0.1 is very useful for native apps which run on the users computer (eg rclone https://rclone.org ).

    It is pretty much impossible to do https to 127.0.0.1 - you can't get a valid certificate for it. See this link for details: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/ - and also for reasons why using http://127.0.0.1 is treated as secure by browsers.

    I'll describe how rclone, a native CLI app works. Rclone runs on the…

  10. Allowing the ability to ignore ownership on certain files

    We are trying to store Capture One Photoshoots on Box Drive so multiple people can access them and all adjustments are saved. There is the session file, RAW image files and various files storing the processing settings, thumbnails, etc.

    I can copy a shoot to Box and work on it fine but if someone else tries to work on it, Box won't let the software overwrite the settings file and makes copies of everything with the 2nd persons email address on it. This is related to ownership of the files.

    It would be great if we could turn that off…

  11. Allow file locking when MS Office Coauthoring is enabled.

    Prior to MS Office Coauthoring, I could lock a file in Box, with would allow me to edit it normally, but it would be read only for anyone else.

    Since coauthoring, I can not open and edit files that I have locked. Support has let me know that this is just a limitation of coauthoring.

    The workaround is to move the file to a folder where only I have editing access, but that would require moving the file around to different locations.

    Would love the ability to temporarily lock files again. And if this isn't going to be (or can't…

  12. Meine Daten herunterladen

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

    Wie so gibt es bei Box keine Möglichkeit alle Daten zu markieren zum Herrenunterladen?

    Nach der europäischen Verordnung und dem Deutschen Recht sind Sie dazu verpflichtet ohne noch mehr Abkassieren zu müssen.

    Sollten Sie diesen Butten nicht einführen werde ich Anwälte dafür beauftragen die Bürger der Bundesrepublik und der Europäischen Union das Recht bekommen!
    Denn was Sie hier betreiben geht so überhaupt nicht und werde ich so nicht dulden.
    Von daher bitte ich sie Höflichst darum einen Butten zu setzen so das man auch die Möglichkeit hat Daten herunterzuladen und das nicht nur mit Windows,…

  13. Add ability to dismiss problem items if the user does not want to address the issue

    For example, a Box item's name has characters that Windows does not support.

    The user wishes to keep the name as is and doesn't need to see the item locally.

    With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

  14. Request for a Box AI Add-on for Desktop Applications

    Dear Box Support Team,

    I would like to submit a suggestion regarding the enhancement of Box AI functionality.
    I believe it would be highly beneficial to offer a Box AI add-on that can be used directly from desktop applications. For example, it would be extremely helpful if users could request Box AI—rather than Copilot—to analyze an Excel sheet that is currently open in the desktop version of Excel.

    In our company, many users primarily work with Box Drive, and as a result, adoption of Box AI—which is currently limited to the web interface—has been limited.
    If Box AI could be…

  15. Set file to read only for users without editing permissions

    Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.

    Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

  16. LocalSystem sees current user's Proxy settings during automatic Box Tools update

    Box Tools Automatic Updates:"Box Edit Upgrade Service", please make sure that LocalSystem refers to the current user's Proxy settings as well as Box Drive automatic update.

    If the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" is LocalSystem, the automatic update of Box Tools will fail. By changing the logon of "Box Edit Upgrade Service" from LocalSystem to the current user, communication via Proxy will be possible and the update will be successful. Also, by setting the Proxy setting equivalent to the current user for LocalSystem with the following command, Box Tools will be updated automatically.

  17. Password reset is so laborioius

    You need to vastly improve the password reset experience. It takes me several minutes to set up a new password and I have to do this on multiple computers. For one thing, DON'T expire passwords. It doesn't improve security at all. Second, if you have to expire them, send me a warning a few days ahead of time. Don't just shut down my Box drive app. Third, I should be able to log in with my old PW and just reset there, maybe with a 2nd factor authentication, like a text message. Finally, the PW rules are too narrow. If…

  18. Enable Shuttle to Migrate Google-specific filetypes without converting

    Currently, Shuttle uses an export feature of Google Drive's API when exporting Google Workspace documents, and this feature converts exported files into their non-Google Workspace corresponding formats (.gdoc> .docx, .gslides > .pptx, etc.). Since Box supports Google Workspace filetypes, Box should look to employ the non-public API endpoint that Google offers that can be utilized to export files in their native format without converting them.

  19. Dedicated File Shortcuts without using Bookmarks

    Currently if I want to create a link from one folder to a file or folder stored elsewhere in the system, the recommendation is to use Bookmarks. This method has several disadvantages.

    • First, it requires creating the link on the target file or folder, meaning you need to navigate away from the folder where the bookmark needs to exist.
    • Second, shared links can be removed, disabled, or expired, which would break the bookmark.
    • Third, bookmarks do not work in Box Drive.

    I would suggest a dedicated mechanism within the Box system for creating and maintaining shortcuts, which…

  20. Confirmation Dialog for DAdd Confirmation Prompt Before Uploading Files in Box Web torag-and-Drop File Uploads to Prevent Accidental Uploads

    While a similar request has been made for Box Drive, I believe that the same risk of accidental file uploads exists when using Box via the web interface. In particular, there is a concern about the unintended upload of important files to the wrong folder, which could result in information leaks. Unlike bulk operations, even a single mistaken upload of a sensitive file can have serious consequences.

    Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a confirmation message or dialog before uploading files in Box (web version), especially when using drag-and-drop or other upload methods, to help prevent accidental…
