2. Lucidchart Enhanced Two-Way Integration

   The current Box + Lucidchart integration is based on the 'More Actions' menu in the Box webapp.

   REQUEST: Work with Lucidchart to extend this integration to a true two-way integration (similar/exactly the same as what Lucidchart already has with Google Drive - https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/google-apps), allowing the user to save to Box from Lucidchart and more.

3. 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 uploads.

   重要ファイルの誤アップロード防止のため、Box Webでファイルアップロード時に確認メッセージを表示してほしい

   Box Driveについては同様の要望がすでに出ていますが、Web版のBoxを利用する場合でも、誤ってファイルをアップロードしてしまうリスクがあると考えています。特に、重要なファイルを誤ったフォルダにアップロードしてしまうことで、情報漏えいにつながる懸念があります。大量の操作ではなくても、機密性の高いファイルを1件誤ってアップロードしただけで深刻な問題となる可能性があります。

   そのため、Box（Web版）でファイルをアップロードする際、特にドラッグ＆ドロップなどの操作時に、アップロード前に確認メッセージやダイアログが表示される機能を追加していただきたいです。

4. Allow Save to PDF from Office to point to Box share.

   Users currently use the "Save as Adobe PDF" which I believe is a plugin for Office. It generates a popup window for "Acrobat PDFMaker" which uses the standard Windows Explorer.

   As a result, users need to save to local drive first, then upload to Box. They'd like to save a PDF directly to Box.

5. 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 is independent of the Bookmark system. Such a system would avoid the disadvantages above and provide some extra benefit. For example, if a file is the target of such a shortcut, that relationship could be viewable through an option in the file’s “More Options” menu allowing file owners to see and manage those shortcuts. Additional auditing would also be possible, with information showing who accessed the file from the shortcut.

   The implementation I envision includes a new option in the “New +” menu of the web interface. Selecting this option would open a search dialog where a user could search through their box content directly.

   Upon selecting a file, the user would then be prompted to select “Shortcut Permissions” that determine how other users can interact with the target file.

   If the shortcut creator has Editor permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
   • View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
   o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.
   • Edit – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to view, download, and Edit the target file
   o This is like creating a public “Can edit” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark

   If the shortcut creator has “Viewer” or “Viewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
   • View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
   o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.

   If the shortcut creator has “Previewer” or “Previewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file

   Similarly, other users’ interactions will be based on their permission in the folder containing the shortcut.

   If a user is has editor permissions in the folder containing the shortcut a shortcut with “Edit” Shortcut permissions, then they will be able to edit the file.

   If a user has Viewer permissions in the folder containing the shortcut, then they would only have “Viewer” permissions to the target file even if the shortcut creator gave the shortcut “Edit” permissions.

   Finally, if the user already has some level of permission to the target file, and it exceeds the permission of the Shortcut, then that permission level would apply.

   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.

6. I'm a sole proprietor and need your Business Plus features

   Hello, I'm coming back to our exchange on Twitter from earlier today.

   I was a Box user between 2013-18 when my business started to grow and my Box plan became too limited. Also the branding of my file exchange service became a must.

   Back then I wanted to switch to Business Plus but the minimum of 3 payed users made this way too expensive and also simply unreasonable for me as a one-man show. I exchanged various emails with your support and spoke with your office in Munich about whether it was possible to offer a One User Business Plus account before giving up at some point since the answer was no. I switched to WeTransfer where I soon became a beta user for their current Plus plan.

   I like WeTransfer and had a good relation with their beta team but unfortunately their platform is not always as reliable as it had to be and the features offered still leave a lot to be desired.

   Let me keep this brief for now, do you see a chance to offer a one user Business Plus account, ideally with a 'fair' monthly fee that suits a fairly small business like mine?

   I'm a audio mastering engineer and work with clients around the world around 15 per month, while 4 or 5 of them are regulars. Reliability, ease of use for my clients and speed are crucial for me, so is storage space and branding. I love the idea to offer my clients an app for communication and fast project updates, and in general I'd love to move all project related communication into their dedicated folders.

   I have plenty of colleagues who are 'so/so' happy with WT, Dropbox, G-Drive etc, none of them would hesitate to switch to a much better platform as long as the cost will stay in relation to our income.

   I look forward to hearing from you.

7. Option to default new Office files to web editor without disabling Box Edit

   Currently, when Box Edit is installed/enabled, newly created Word/Excel files in Box open automatically in the desktop app, interrupting workflows for users who prefer the web editor (like me at SMRU Consulting). Disabling Box Edit fixes this but removes desktop editing entirely, which isn't ideal.

   Requested Feature:

   Add a setting to default newly created Office files to open in Microsoft 365 for Web, while keeping Box Edit active for existing files or manual "Open in desktop" choices.

   Bonus: A prompt on creation ("Open in web / desktop?") for flexibility.

   Why It Matters:

   Streamlines workflows for web-first users without sacrificing Box Edit.

   Prevents unwanted desktop launches, especially with Box Drive installed.

   Improves productivity in enterprise setups like ours (multi-TB marine consulting folders).

   Workaround Issues:
   Disabling Box Edit works but blocks desktop access for Office/non-Office files – not viable for all users.

   Please add this to the roadmap! Happy to provide more details or test betas.

8. Allow One-Off Reissue of Custom Terms of Service in Box

   If a user ever rejects a custom terms of service, they are not able to access Box or attempt to connect via the collaboration link. It seems that they could try again in 30 days (we have not tested, this is way too long to wait for a time-out).

   The only resolution to allow the single external collaborator to "reset" the ToS and accept them to sign in is to disable and re-enable custom ToS for all users.

   This is a major problem - we should not have to revalidate all ToS for EVERY user to resolve an issue for one user. Resetting the ToS seems to have booted all users out of Box Drive until they re-accept the terms.

   This is a serious disruption for an error that's pretty easy to make. Please allow a way for users who have declined ToS to try again if they've erroneously declined WITHOUT requiring a system wide change for all users.

9. Enable AutoCAD Drawing History Comparison

   Our company is considering moving our AutoCAD files over to Box.com. We put some files on Box as a test run and AutoCAD's Drawing History feature allows us to see the version history of those files. However, there is a tool that is supposed to allow for you to click on that list of past versions and compare one to another but that feature isn't working currently, even though it works on other cloud services like one drive. AutoCAD said its on Box's end since it worked with other cloud services, but Box said they can't guarantee this feature would work and basically just put their hands in the air. Please consider reviewing this and seeing what can be done to address this missing functionality. There are so many benefits that could be had by us putting our CAD on Box, but we keep running into limitations from Box that is holding us back from making that transition.

10. not available offline

    As an admin, Id like to mark some folders as never available offline. We have several folders with several terabytes of data and inadvertently users have started downloading the entire folder.
    One found out when his hard drive was almost full, the other was caught by security looking at the massive downloads. The data is available to all but shouldn't be copied locally.

11. BoxDrive behavior of files with the “Browser Use Only” classification label

    We are considering setting up a "Browser Only" classification label for collaborative editing of Office applications to enforce download restrictions so that collaborative editing is only possible in the browser.
    However, when a user tries to open a file with the "Browser Only" label, the viewer and previewer will not be able to open the file because of the download restriction.
    Also, when opening BoxNote from BoxDrive, you will be redirected to the browser, but Office files must be opened by right-clicking on Box.com and previewing them, and when editing, you must perform online editing.

    (1) The basic specification of BoxDrive is that the existence of the contents in the invited folder itself is visible, but when you try to open it, if you do not have download privileges, you cannot download the cached data and cannot open it (editing or even previewing is not possible), but if you do not have download privileges, you can open the cached data in the browser. If you have the preview authority, can you take action such as automatically transitioning to the browser to preview the data?

    If it is difficult to change (1), could you add a function to filter files that cannot be opened from Box Drive (according to conditions such as permissions, labels, etc.)? We are concerned that this will cause confusion among users, lower utilization rates, and unnecessary inquiries, which will lower the efficiency of the entire organization.

    Officeアプリを共同編集するために、「ブラウザーのみ利用」の分類ラベルを設定し、ダウンロード制限をかけブラウザでのみ共同編集できるように強制する運用を検討しております。
    しかし、「ブラウザーのみ利用」のラベルが対がファイルをで開こうとした場合、ダウンロード制限がかかっているためビューアやプレビューアが開くことができない挙動となってしまいます。
    また、BoxDriveからBoxNoteを開くときにはブラウザに遷移いたしますが、Officeファイルは右クリック＞Box.comで開き、プレビューを行い、編集時はOnline編集を実施する必要があります。

    ①BoxDriveの基本仕様として、招待されたフォルダ内のコンテンツの存在自体は見えるのに、いざ開こうとした際に、ダウンロード権限がないとキャッシュデータをダウンロードできず開けない(編集はおろかプレビューすら出来ない)状態ですが、ダウンロード権限がなくともプレビュー権限があるのであれば、ブラウザへ自動遷移してプレビューさせるなりの対応いただけないでしょうか。
    ②①の変更が難しい場合、Box Driveから開くことができないファイル(権限やラベル有無等の条件に応じて)はフィルタ表示させるような機能を追加いただけないでしょうか。BoxDrive上見えているのに、開くことができない運用はユーザの混乱を招き利用率が低下及び、無駄な問い合わせが生じ組織全体の効率が下がることを懸念しております。

12. 列幅が狭く、変更を固定できない。The column width is abnormally narrow, and changes cannot be fixed.

    BOXドライブをエクスプローラ上で開いたときにファイル名の欄が異常に狭い状態で表示され、手動で直したり幅を再設定しても自動で狭い幅に戻されてしまいます。非常に使い勝手が悪いです。数年前からある不具合で多くの人が報告しているのに、いまだに修正されていないことにも驚きます。

    When opening BOX Drive in Explorer, the file name column displays abnormally narrow.
    Even if I manually adjust it or reset the width, it automatically reverts to the narrow width. This is extremely inconvenient.
    I'm also surprised that this bug has existed for years, has been reported by many people, and still hasn't been fixed.

13. Prevent modals (Box AI and New Collection) from closing when clicking outside

    We would like to request a change to the behavior of modal windows, specifically for Box AI and the "Create New Collection" screen. Currently, these modals close automatically if a user clicks anywhere outside the modal area. I request that they remain open unless the "Close" or "Cancel" button is explicitly clicked.

    Reasoning:
    We are using Pendo to provide in-app training and guidance to help our employees adopt Box AI and other Box features. However, the current "click-outside-to-close" behavior makes it impossible to run these guides effectively.

    When a user interacts with a Pendo guide or accidentally clicks the background, the Box modal disappears, interrupting the training flow. This prevents us from providing a seamless employee experience and hinders our ability to educate users on how to use Box AI and Collections effectively.

    Expected Outcome:
    By preventing the modals from closing on background clicks, we can successfully implement Pendo guides. This will allow us to properly train our employees and significantly drive the adoption of Box AI and organizational features within our company.

14. Upload In The Order We Added Them + Reorder

    I don't understand why Box Drive decided to upload files in a completely random. Say that I add a number of files, then later add another bulk of files, it will start uploading them or a whole random different selection. Why doesn't it upload them in the order I added them (first come, first serve).

    A bonus would be to reorder your uploads, so if some become more of a priority.

15. Enable native Google share module for externally-shared files stored in Box

    Request:
    Add the ability to share files directly via Google's native share module (Google Drive sharing UI/flow) rather than requiring the Box share flow, while keeping the underlying file stored in Box.

    Use case:
    Some of our clients use Box as their primary repository. When we need to share a file with these external clients, the current flow requires them to create a Box account to access the shared file. This is a blocker and several times it's come up that external clients will not create Box accounts just to receive a file.

    We still want the file itself to remain stored in Box (Box stays the system of record). We just want the sharing/access layer to go through Google's share module so recipients can access files with their existing Google credentials, without provisioning a Box account.

    Proposed behavior:
    File remains stored in Box (no change to storage/repository).
    Sharing is initiated through the Google share module instead of the Box share flow.
    External recipients access the file via Google (existing Google account), with no Box account required.

    Business impact:
    Removes a hard friction point when collaborating with Box-primary clients, reduces onboarding barriers for external sharing, and preserves Box as the storage backend.

16. Save-As limits

    Scenario:
    Using Save As to convert a .csv to excel file.

    When saving to my local drive (even though it is in a Box Sync folder) I maintain the programmatic capability to save the file as a different file type.

    When saving to Box (even though it is the same Box Operations folder) I lose the programmatic capability to save the file as a different file type.

    I do file conversion in excel multiple times a week.

17. I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.

    In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

    Suggestions from our IT Director:

    Ideally we license Box Shield and it could easily be a policy based on metadata or tagging for certain folders.

    This would probably make the most sense.

    Any folder tagged with #nomove just couldn’t be moved unless it was first untagged on the web interface by an owner, editor or admin.

    It seems customers have been clamoring for this feature for years. It would bring tremendous value to your service.

18. Previewer Uploader Able to Download Files

    When a link is sent with the access level set to "Collaborators Only" a "Previewer Uploader" Collaborator can then open the link from their email and have the option to "Open in App" and the IOS app will give them the opportunity to Download the File. The file can then be uploaded to Google Drive and then viewed on a desktop or mobile device. This basically gives the Previewer Uploader the ability to download the file.

    We prevent this already.

19. 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 instance.

20. Option to Hide Last Update Information on content

    It is overwhelming when trying to find documents because not only are you looking for the name of the document but you have to visually sift through the "Updated on Nov. 16, 2016 by John Smith" under every single file.

    It would be great if Box could either make it an option to hide this (and maybe just hover over the document to see this information) or if it was moved to the right like it is in a regular Shared Drive.
