Identify which files and folders a user owns within a shared Teams folder, that are not shared or collaborated with others
We encountered a situation where certain files inside a shared drive were only visible to one user, while others couldn’t access them. This caused confusion because the files appeared to be part of the shared structure but were effectively private. A feature that highlights or filters these user-owned, non-shared items would help prevent misunderstandings and improve transparency.

Sorting & Tagging
I’ve encountered a few issues with Box.com and it’s impeding on my performance.
When creating folders the system by default sorts by the latest folder accessed. Clicking on “NAME” to resort by folder structure is time consuming.
Also, I was told the Box desktop app was a good alternative to Box.com. All was well until I stumbled upon a design flaw when tagging a folder on the desktop app vs Box.com
I use a Mac and tag using their colour coding system. Unfortunately, Box.com does not support said feature so the tags are only visible on my laptop.Since there’s no sync’d tagging on BOX.com via the Box app, my co-workers cannot see which folders I’ve tagged as having contents. And there’s no tagging on Box.com that can be seen on the desktop mirror.
These are simple programming fixes. But huge annoyances.

Ability to change and update assignee on expired tasks
We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.
For expired tasks, pressing "Update" from "Change Task" will not respond, and the task cannot be edited.
It is inconvenient not to be able to edit or update tasks, as tasks cannot be marked as completed when unauthorized users are absent due to leaving the company or being transferred.
Also, although it is possible to update a task by extending its deadline, I would like to keep a history of when the task was created.
There appears to be a problem because there is no response when you run "Update".
If it is not possible to renew an expired task, please improve the feature to display an error message indicating that renewal is not possible.（日本語）
「期限切れのタスクにて担当者の変更および更新を可能とする機能」
期限切れのタスクにおいても「タスクを変更」からユーザーの削除および更新が可能となるように改善を要望します。
期限切れのタスクでは「タスクを変更」から「更新」を押しても反応せず、タスクを編集することが出来ません。
未承認のユーザーが退職や異動で不在となった場合にタスクを完了とすることができないため、編集・更新できないことは不便です。
また、タスクの期限を延長することで更新することが可能ですが、タスクを作成した当時の履歴を残しておきたいです。
「更新」を実行しても反応が無いことから不具合に見えます。
期限切れのタスクを更新することが実現できないのであれば、更新が出来ないエラーメッセージを表示するよう改善してください。We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.

User Offboarding (File/Folder Moves)
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the user offboarding process. When we delete a user, it would be very helpful to have more granular control over where that user’s files and folders are moved within the tenant. This way we can choose someone and then maybe a subfolder they want the data placed in.
Specifically, having the option to:
- Choose the destination folder for the disabled user’s content.
- Include checkbox option to include trash bin contents along with the rest of their files.This would make the offboarding process more efficient and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Add a "View All Tasks" button to the left menu
To view all tasks, you need to press the clipboard icon and then select "View All Tasks."
It takes two clicks each time, which is very time-consuming.
I would like you to add it to the left menu so that I can check all tasks with a single click.

Support for Multiple Upload Zones in Box Forms + Relay
Summary:
Enable the creation of multiple, distinct file upload zones within a single application or embed experience—for example, within a Box Doc Gen-powered form or workflow.Details:
Today, applications built with Box’s Form capabilities typically support a single upload zone or file request area. This limits the ability to organize incoming files contextually during intake or data collection workflows.We’re requesting support for multiple upload zones in the same app or form—each mapped to a different folder, metadata tag, or Doc Gen trigger.
Example Use Case – Box Doc Gen for Application Processing:
Imagine a form that uses Box Doc Gen to generate a PDF application. The process includes:Zone 1: “Upload Supplemental Documents”
Applicant uploads income verification, letters of recommendation, etc.
Files are tagged or routed to a designated folder with metadata "doc_type = supplemental"
Zone 2: “Upload Copies of Records”
Applicant uploads prior case files or records
Files are routed with metadata "doc_type = records" or to a different subfolder
This could then change the views in Box Apps and other locations to trigger workflows.

Added annotation function to the BoxNotes preview screen
This is a request for a preview screen that appears when the BoxNotes URL is changed from "notes" to "file."
When reviewing the text and inserted images in a created Note, the annotation function cannot be used, making it difficult to request corrections by pointing out specific parts.To streamline file reviews, please make the annotation feature available in BoxNotes as well.
A good place to place the annotation function is on the text written or on the inserted image in the BoxNotes preview screen.
BoxNotesのURLを"notes"から"file"へ変更した際に表示されるプレビュー画面の要望です。
作成したNoteの文章・挿入画像のレビューを行う際に注釈機能が利用出来ない為、特定の箇所を明記して修正依頼をすることが難しい。
ファイルレビュー効率化の為、BoxNotesでもアノテーション機能を利用できるように変更してください。

See folder structure
Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.
For example, if the folder structure is:
X
|- Y
|- Zand our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.11 votes -
Ability to keep recent updates highlighted
In a shared Box Note, any new updates are highlighted, but once I review the notes and navigate away from the page, the highlights disappear. I know there's a toggle at the top to turn highlights off and on, but can there be a way to keep new updates highlighted until i'm ready to turn them off; regardless if I navigate away from the page. Just to give an example, someone added and edited a bunch of new information to my box note. So much so, there was too many for me to review and address. I went away from the page, and the highlights disappeared, so I no longer could locate exactly what was changed.

Notification for reading text over 2MB with AI

Change the warning message when external users change their password.
The new feature "Enable detection of confirmed leaked passwords" has been applied.
If an invited external user does not meet the password criteria, they will be required to change their password.
When entering a new password, if the password does not meet the requirements, a message will appear stating "Password was exposed in a data breach"
This message is confusing as it misleadingly suggests that a data breach has occurred on the tenant's side.
Therefore, please change it to something appropriate, such as "The password you entered is weak, please make it more complex."
新機能の「漏えいが確認されたパスワードの検出を有効にする」を適用してます。 招待された外部ユーザーがパスワード条件を満たしていない場合、パスワードを変更する必要があります。
新しいパスワードを入力したとき、条件を満たしていないパスワードを入れると、「データ侵害で漏えいが確認されたパスワードです」とメッセージが表示されます。
このメッセージでは、テナント側でデータ侵害が発生したという誤解を生むような表現となっており、混乱します。
よって、「入力したパスワードは脆弱なので、より複雑なものにしてください」といった適した内容に修正してください。4 votes -

How to Prevent Content with Classification Labels from Being Published on Hubs
We want to set up a system so that if a user tries to publish a folder or file with a specific classification label to Hubs, a warning message will appear or an alert will be sent to administrators.
Within our company, we assign classification labels to content that is kept private except for specific users, and we are also careful when granting access permissions. However, if such content is published on Hubs, any user who can view the Hub will be able to access the content, which defeats the purpose. We want to be able to strictly manage the access permissions of content published on Hubs.In Japanese：
〈分類ラベルが付与されたコンテンツをHubsに掲載させない方法〉ユーザーが特定の分類ラベルが付いたフォルダやファイルをHubsに掲載しようとした場合に、警告メッセージが表示されたり、管理者にアラートが送信されたりするようなシステムを導入したいです。
社内では、特定のユーザー以外には非公開としているコンテンツに分類ラベルを付け、アクセス権の付与にも注意しています。しかし、そのようなコンテンツがHubsに掲載されてしまうと、Hubを閲覧できるユーザーは誰でもそのコンテンツにアクセスできてしまい、本来の目的が果たせなくなってしまいます。私たちは、Hubsに掲載されるコンテンツのアクセス権を厳格に管理できるようにしたいと考えています。

Python in Excel while stored on Box
I would like to be able to use Microsoft Excel's new implementation of Python.
I have been told that Python in Excel can only be used on content stored in "secure container[s] on the Microsoft Cloud", such as OneDrive, Azure, Sharepoint, and other Microsoft proprietary resources.
Can Box work with Microsoft to support this feature?

access Deny Authority
The permissions of the parent folder are inherited by the subordinate folder, but I want to be able to add a setting to deny access only to specific users or groups in the subordinate folder. Or I want to be able to set the permission settings so that they are not inherited by subordinates. This is a function that can be realized with existing file servers.
