When user has URL for shared link, they need to type it in email or browser, even Box App is there. Thus, would request to have ability in iOS (or Mobile) Apps to allow URLs to be typed directly in Box App.

When outputting a report from the Admin Console, the user interface for searching folders cannot uniquely identify folders with the same fol
When narrowing down the user activity report to activities under a specific folder, a search is performed by folder name, but if there are many identical folder names, it is not possible to uniquely specify the folder.
I would like to be able to display the folder path from the root or specify by folder ID.(Japanese)
管理コンソールでレポートを出力する際にフォルダを検索するユーザーインターフェースで同一フォルダ名が存在すると一意に特定が出来ないユーザーアクティビティレポートで特定のフォルダ配下のアクティビティに絞るときにフォルダ名で検索を実施するが同一フォルダ名が多くあると、どれが出力したいフォルダなのかが判別が出来ないのでルートからのフォルダパスを表示したりフォルダIDでの指定が出来るようにして欲しい。

Box Drive folders should automatically refresh when you open them.
When you open a folder in Box Drive, it should automatically refresh that folder. There's no scenario where you're opening a folder and you WANT an older version of it. If you're opening it, you intend to interact with it somehow, and in order to do so effectively you must have the most up to date version of its contents. Manually refreshing is tedious.

Slow when folder with many files/folders is being displayed in iOS App.
As it would take long time for the folder with many files/folders to get displayed, the ask is to improve performance to show folder content faster.

Ability to set default permission on folder level
The customer would like to implement the feature “Default Collaborator Permissions” per folder.
We’re providing it only per tenant at the moment, so it affects to all folders/files in tenant if changed.
As a result, it probably not convenient such as the user changes collaborator permission from Viewer to Editor every time.
So, the customer wants an ability to set default permission per folder.9 votes -
Slack: Show Preview of Box Files within Slack
Currently, the Box + Slack integration auto-unfurls Box shared links that are posted into a DM/Channel in slack.
The only Box file type that unfurls to a native (in-line) preview are image files (jpg, png, etc.).
Slack has a native preview for a video file uploaded directly in Slack, but no preview for the same file when shared via Box.
REQUEST: Add in the native (in-line) preview (that already exists for image files shared from Box) for many more common file types (Office files, PDFs, mp4s, etc.) -- possibly by leveraging the Box Preview API.

Consistent data size output from folder and file report
Don't shorten, or allow us to choose if we want the file sizes shortened (KB, MB, GB) when calling the Files & Folders report. Full data sizes would allow for much more consistent and streamlined ingestion into data analytics tools like PowerBi.

Remove restrict files sharing within Folder Settings

0 votesThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

Add breadcrumbs to folders in the Box + Outlook integration.
Due to the fact that we have many folders with the same name, the Box + Outlook integration would be significantly more useful if it could include some breadcrumbs to indicate which folder the file was in.

A Way to See Containing Folder From Search Results
We are searching for a file and there is no easy way to see the folders in which the resulting files are contained.
5 votesWe are not currently planning to implement this feature within search. Containing folder information will continue to be available through file previews and in the browse view.

Ability to save reports to a custom location
With the upcoming report scheduling function, coupled with improved filters to better streamline reports that are generated, it would be really useful to be able to define a custom save location for a report that is generated as part of that process (i.e. to any folder within your box instance and not just the default 'reports' bucket).
Our use case is that we'd like to set up a series of scheduled reports (soon possible!), each one filtered to activities within a specific folder (also now possible!) and then have that report automatically save into the folder to which it relates…

Add themes to folders
I wanted to deliver a folder of images to a client and they've asked me to theme or brand the folder so they can forward to their guests. This would be great to be able to do.

Changing default columns view in File Explorer with Box Drive
When using Box Drive on Windows 10, and accessing through File Explorer, the default columns are set as: Name | Size | Item type | Date modified.
I would like to be able to change those default columns and their order.
Currently, File explorer has a functionality that allows the default column view to be changed for all folders (View tab > Options > "Change Folder and Search Options" > "View" tab > and select "Apply to Folders)
However, this functionality does not work for trying to change the default column view for folders viewed through Box Drive.

Using the Excel Online Previewer via a shared link (without logging in)
In business, we may need to share Excel files with business partners who do not have Box accounts via open links.
Unfortunately, if they preview an Excel file from an open link without logging in to Box, the contents are displayed in Box Content Preview, which can easily cause display errors and split the file into multiple pages.Currently, even if an open link is shared with a business partner, it is difficult to check the exact content in the Box preview, which makes it a hassle for them to download the documents.
We would like to see the Excel…2 votes -

Need APIs for auto deletion of files and folders.
Need APIs for marking files and folders for auto deletion in future date. This feature is on the portal, but provided as an API.
Box can add this as an attribute to the file upload or folder creation API. Or a separate folder/file attribute API, so the date can be changed, if required later after its creation.
We are automating activities on Box.com using RPA, the APIs are faster and reusable compared to the UI automation.
Box should introduce APIs for basic features such as this one, so these can be done at the backend and it is more optimized…

Can Box provide us an API which allows us to clone a folder along with its sub folders?
We have a predefined folder structure as a template, and we'd like to create new folders following this template's hierarchy. As Salesforce imposes limits on external system callouts, if the Box team could offer an API for this purpose, it would enable us to accomplish this task

Ability to save Sort preference
Hello! I'd like to be able to save a sort preference for all my folders for the team. So if I number the folders they always appear in name, ascending order. Instead each time you enter a folder you have to sort it.

Stop disabling access to content when its owner account is deactivated.
If content owner's account is disabled, any collaborators lose access to said content. A different workflow needs to be put into place to allow these collaborators access to content previously shared with them.
Either automatically transfer ownership to a co-owner or when the original owner account is being suspended, add options for preserving access to other collaborators.
