1. Increase size of file allowed to be opened online

   We have several large Excel files (example: one that is 16.6 MB) that don't allow for editing/collaboration using Box online. In order to edit it, our team has to take turns: open it in MS Excel and each of us work on the doc one a time. Please allow for larger files to be opened on Excel online since collaboration is one of the hallmarks of using Box for file storage!

2. "File Request Link" report similar to the "Shared Link" report

   Would like Org level report on what folders have "File Request Links" very similar to the "Shared Link" report. We need to report on what folders are shared publicly.

   We are creating a file request dashboard for Admins to manage their enterprise’s FR links.

   This is not a setting we are likely to build. We hope the relatively new Files app enables users to more easily find this setting in their end user experience to change it themselves.

4. Folder-Level Metadata Exposed in the Webapp UI

   Key Components:
   --Allow users to enter Metadata at the folder-level (currently can only add metadata to individual files in the UI)
   --Provide a visual indicator (somewhere) on the page to inform users that a folder has metadata

6. Box Web App Clicking on Files

   I've noticed with the recent update to the web ui, that you can no longer click on a file without box wanting to automatically wanting to open the file. In the past, you had options like download, delete, move, etc... Can an option be added to the admin center to re-enable this option for users? Thanks.

7. Add tag support for OSX files in Box Drive

   File color labels (tags) in OSX do not work on Box Drive.

   Competing cloud storage platforms (like Dropbox) easily handle this.

   In a MacOS team production workflow, tags are essential for production processes. Labels allow effortless communication to other team members on the status of file production. This is an industry-standard way of working which is totally broken in Box Drive.

   Please review the many MANY past requests for this feature in these forums. It is a long-standing issue that deserves attention!

9. Search by Created Date and Modified Date

   When uploading a file by FTP, the Created Date and Modified Date on Details tab shows timestamp from the local PC.
   Box's search function only allows to search by Updated Date that is not the date from Modified Date from Details tab of a file, so please add the finction to search by Created Date and Modified Date for FTP uploaders.

   Possibly, 120 users could be affected by this function change because most of important files are in their local PCs, and it would be really helpful if they could search them by the dates that on their local PCs.

10. Add column for Modified date, and allow sorting on it.

    It would be really handy to be able to add a column for and sort based on "Modified date" field. Currently the "Updated" column is not useful if you are doing content migrations from outside sources. While the files maintain the "modified date", they get an "Updated date" of the day it was migrated.

    We are considering migrating our existing LAN contents to Box. Our users frequently need to sort on last modified date. We are uploading all data to Box and retaining the original date stamps where possible. Sorting is key.

    Due to other higher priorities, we are not considering this item at this time.

11. Collaboration Report - Add Last Accessed Column

    Box Admin frequently runs reports on all external collaborators who they work with and wants to remove external collaborators from files that they haven't accessed in awhile. Wants to be able to run a report that filters to all external collaborators and allows you to see the files that they are collaborated on AND the last date that they accessed those files. This will help the admin determine if an external collaborator can be removed from a file. The collaborator report allows you to do most of this. However, the Collaborator report is missing a "last accessed" column. The request is to add "Last Accessed" as a column to the Collaborations Report.

12. Show Date Uploaded, instead of Date Created for new files in Box Drive

    Right now, when a file is uploaded to Box, the dated modified date shows the date the file was uploaded however, on Box Drive the date modified is the date the file was created.

    We would like to see the date the file was uploaded on Box Drive, as it appears on the webapp.

13. Unify behavior when creating shared links.

    Box Canvas files in folders with the 'Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites' setting enabled cannot create a shared link using the 'Share' button at the top right of the edit screen if you have Editor and Viewer Uploader permissions. ('Share' button is grayed out.)
    Editor and Viewer Uploader users need to create a shared link from the file listing screen.

    However, Office files and Box Notes in the same folder can create a shared link using the 'Share' button on the Preview and Edit screens.
    It is confusing for users if only Box Canvas files behave differently. Box Canvas files should be unified with the same behavior as Office files and Box Notes.

    編集者とビューアー/アップローダーのユーザーはファイルの一覧画面から共有リンクを作成する必要があります。

    同じフォルダ内にあるOfficeファイルやBox Notesはプレビュー画面・編集画面の「共有」のボタンから共有リンクが作成できます。

14. Create exceptions for auto-expiration of sharing and external collaborators

    We have auto-expiration on file sharing but often need to share files with external collaborators for an indefinite amount of time. We can't keep re-sharing the file. Same for external collaborators - we have auto-expiration but we can't keep re-sharing folders with them.

17. 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。

19. Maintain Metadata when Copying a File

    Currently, Metadata (custom metadata and applied metadata templates/values) that's been added to a file is NOT maintained when a file is copied in Box. This request is to add the functionality - perhaps as an option in the 'Copy' flow - to copy a file's Metadata as well.

20. Box AI does not recognize text in image-based PDFs

    Thank you for releasing Box AI for free.

    I am currently using Box AI with the feature enabled. It successfully recognizes text in document PDFs and image files (PNG, JPG, etc.), but it does not recognize text in image-based PDFs.

    When I take a screenshot of the content in an image PDF and save it as an image file (PNG, JPG, etc.), Box AI is able to recognize the text. This suggests that the issue may be related to the file format.

    If Box AI could also recognize text within image-based PDFs, it would greatly improve usability. I would appreciate your consideration of this enhancement.
