Enable True/False Metadata Mapping for Checkboxes and Radio Buttons in Box Forms
Description:
Today in Box Forms, checkbox and radio button inputs are not natively mapped to Boolean metadata fields (true/false or yes/no), which limits the ability to trigger workflows or create metadata-driven views based on user responses.Feature Request:
Allow checkboxes and radio buttons in Box Forms to map directly to Boolean metadata fields:If a checkbox is checked, metadata should reflect “true”; if unchecked, “false.”
For yes/no radio button questions, allow mapping directly to true/false metadata fields.
Impact & Value:
Streamlines workflow automation with Box Relay (e.g., trigger based on form input).

Compress to zip format on Box web
To compress a file or folder on Box, you must download it first.
I wish there was a way to compress files directly from Box Web without having to download them.(in Japanese)

I want to open Box Notes in view-only mode
Currently, in Box Notes, it is possible to switch to view-only mode by changing "/notes/" in the URL to "/file/", but this method is not intuitive for users.
Because it is not easy to open notes in view-only mode, users often accidentally edit the notes. We would like to prevent this from happening.
We would like an option to select view-only mode when opening Box Notes from the beginning. It would also be more convenient if it were possible to bookmark Box Notes in view-only mode.
〈Box Notesの閲覧モードで開きたい〉
現在Box NotesではURLの/notes/を/file/に変換することで、閲覧モードにすることが可能ですが、ユーザーにとっては分かりにくいです。
簡単に閲覧モードで開けないことによって、ユーザーが誤って編集してしまうことが多く、これを防ぎたいと考えています。Box Notesを開くときに、最初から閲覧モードで開くために選択メニューを追加してほしいです。
また、閲覧モードにした状態のBox Notesをブックマークできるようになるとより便利です。22 votes -
Box Sign Power Automate connector
The possibility to use a Box Sign template as part of a workflow in Power Automate would allow automatizing key parts of processes (i.e. fill in a form and receive a request to sign a document)

Open files in Box from "Box Files" tab in Microsoft Teams
Currently I only see a way to launch a file in Box (for editing, commenting, etc) from the content card posted in a Team Channel conversation. I can't see a way to launch a file directly from the "Box Files" tab in Teams. Even an overall "Open Folder in Box" button would help to direct the user to the correct Team/Channel folder created in Box.

Tenant-level shared link restrictions for Box Hubs
We strictly manage folders and files on Box,
but the ability to select "People with the link" in Box Hubs poses a serious risk of data leakage.
To ensure secure usage,
we request the addition of a tenant-level setting that disables the "People with the link" option for Box Hubs shared links.Without this restriction, it will be difficult to allow users to utilize Box Hubs safely within our organization
7 votesWe have released a feature that allows to block Hubs from being shared publicly via “anyone with the link”:
- Admins can set a global default in Hubs Global Presets to prevent public shared links for all new Hubs.
- Co‑owners can also restrict public shared links at the individual Hub level, as long as the admin hasn’t locked that setting.

Support for setting the save location to hard drive directory such as "My Documents" instead of "My Documents/Box Sync"

I'd like to be able to share a link that defaults to open the file in the native app on macOS.
I'm not sure if this is more related to Box Drive or Box Tools, but it seems like it should be possible to open files in their native app rather than in the browser, or even just to open them in the Finder rather than on the web.
Some of the reasons:
1. Lots of people need to know where a file is within the larger heirarchy or get a file path, and it's significantly easier to do that in finder.
2. Lots of people just don't like having to click the extra few times.
3. It's frustrating to be…1 vote -
Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs
When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.
We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

Shared Box Sign group status dashboard / Ability to share sign requests with team members
When sending out Box Sign requests we need the ability for multiple team members to check in on how current Box Sign requests are progressing. They can't be tied to just the sender as sometimes staff work part-time and another staff member has to go in and push the signature along.
It would be amazing to see Box Sign have access to groups for a group based dashboard e.g. Finance Team. That would enable everyone in the group to go in and track the current Sign requests and push them along when another team member isn't around to do so.
167 votesWe're pleased to announce that the feature you voted for, sharing signature requests, has been released. For more details, please refer to our Box Sign support article or read the public announcement.

Show timestamp in "update" column in Box Web/Box for Teams
Dear Box team, it would be very helpful shwoing the timestamp of the last change of a file/folder is shown in Box Web and Box Teams Plugin instead of showing the date only (or a text).

Edit right-click action items when using the desktop app.
It would be really helpful to have the ability to customize which Box actions appear in the Finder right-click menu when using Box Drive on macOS. Currently, Box adds a large number of actions, which makes the context menu feel cluttered and pushes frequently used Finder actions further down. I’d like to be able to selectively enable or disable individual Box actions—for example, keeping “View on Box.com,” “Make Available Offline,” and “Copy Shared Link,” while hiding options like “Create a Box Note,” “Create a Box Canvas,” or “Search in this Folder.”

Copy button in Box Notes Shared Link

@Mention Someone When Replying to an Annotation in a Box Note
iIt would be nice to be able to @mention someone in a Annotation within the Box Note. I know you can do it in the comments, but if a note is lengthy and you want to put someone's nose right to where you want them to look (or a tasks you've assigned them to), this would be nice to have.
