Add Annotation and Task details to User Activity Report
Currently the UAT does not include details about the actual text a user entered into a task or annotation (but does for comments). As the system allows those fields to be edited and/or deleted we must also now show those details so we know what was edited or deleted.

I would like the "Shared Link Report" to display information about the issuer of the shared link
Currently, the "Shared Link Report" does not output information about the issuer of a shared link, so you will need to check this in the "User Activity Report."
It is very inconvenient to have to print out two reports each time, so we would like to request an improvement to the functionality so that information about the issuer of the shared link is also displayed in the "Shared Link Report."

The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps
When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.
When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

Improvement of search within the trash
We want to search the contents of the Trash in the Search window, as before.
In the new UI, we need to open the search panel first to specify the trash as a destination.
This is inconvenient, and we would like it to be improved as before.以前と同じように、検索ウインドウでごみ箱内を検索したい。

playback speed controls for audio or video files
At the moment, the Box Mobile app for iPad doesn’t include playback speed controls for audio or video files, so I suggest to add this function. The web already has this function. It would enhance the audio user playback!

I want to ensure that clients cannot forward links that I send with intellectual property. When clients/customers order my products, I want them to have a downloadable link (without having a box account) to access the document(s). I do not want to send a passcode for access (unless it is required).
I tested out this feature with a few of my email accounts not linked to my Box account. I also tested it out with a Box user in with account access, but to an email not linked to Box.

Box integration sending emails with inconsistent formatting
Box integration is sending unusal format to emails resulting in + between each word. This was reported and found Thanks for testing and sharing your observations. The behavior you’re seeing with the + signs in the subject and body is due to how the Box integration generates the Outlook on the web compose window. It URL-encodes spaces as +, which Outlook sometimes displays as spaces and sometimes shows literally — this explains why clearing the browser cache makes it look correct for the first attachment but not for subsequent ones.
Essentially, this is a limitation of how the integration constructs the subject and body text, not an issue with your browser or Outlook on the web itself. Cache-clearing temporarily loads a fresh script that behaves slightly differently, but it doesn’t fully change the underlying encoding behavior.
At present, there isn’t a reliable client-side fix. The only way to consistently get properly formatted subjects and links would be for the integration to generate the email body and subject using HTML or encoding via Microsoft’s Graph API rather than plain URL-encoded text

Allow Multiple Enterprise IDs (EIDs) to be Defined as a Single Internal Organization (Tenant Federation)
For security or operational reasons, it is common for a single enterprise to operate multiple Box tenants. However, when an organization's internal user scope ("company") is defined by its Enterprise ID (EID), users from these separate-but-related tenants are treated as external collaborators.
This creates significant problems and reduces usability:
Shared Link Restrictions: Users from a related tenant cannot access links shared with the "People in your company" permission level.
Group Collaboration Issues: It is not possible to invite groups from a related tenant to collaborate on content.
Reduced Security and Convenience: Collaborators from related tenants are flagged as "external," which can trigger stricter security policies (e.g., via Box Shield) and create unnecessary friction for users who are, in reality, internal employees.
These limitations force administrators to use less secure sharing methods or manage a complex web of individual invitations, undermining the benefits of having separate tenants in the first place.
Proposed Solution
Develop a feature that allows administrators to designate other specific Enterprise IDs as part of their internal organization.This "Tenant Federation" or "Trusted EID List" would enable all users across the federated tenants to be treated as a single "company." By implementing this, the following would be possible:
Users from trusted tenants could seamlessly access "People in your company" shared links.
Collaboration invitations could be extended to user groups across all federated tenants.
Security and governance policies (like those in Box Shield) could be applied consistently to all users within the true organizational boundary, removing the "external collaborator" status for trusted colleagues.
This would provide a secure and efficient way to manage collaboration across the complex structures of modern enterprises.

Allow Custom Domain Email Addresses for Service Accounts and App Users
Service Accounts and App Users are automatically assigned an email address with the @boxdevedition.com domain. This becomes problematic when a company's collaboration settings define internal users by their own corporate domain (e.g., example.com).
Under this configuration, if a shared link's access level is set to "People in your company," the Service Accounts and App Users are treated as external users because their @boxdevedition.com email does not match the company's domain. Consequently, they are blocked from accessing these internal-only links, which hinders automated workflows and API-based processes.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a feature that allows administrators to change the assigned @boxdevedition.com email address for Service Accounts and App Users to an email address under a domain owned and verified by their company.By enabling this change, these accounts would be correctly identified as internal users within the tenant. This would ensure they can successfully access shared links restricted to "People in your company," allowing for seamless and secure integration with internal automated processes.

Please eliminate the need to log in and out when updating the app
When updating the app or fixing issues, we would like to avoid requiring users to log in and out whenever possible. For administrators, it is burdensome to notify employees about changes that need to be reflected.

Prevent users from adding content to the root level in Box Drive
Our enterprise is set to prevent users from being able to create folders at the root level. This functionality works great in Box cloud app. However the user is able to add content at the root level in Box Drive. This causes sync errors as Box Drive cannot sync to a root level folder in the app.
Can you consider preventing users from doing this in Box Drive so it matches how it works in Box browser view.

Box Shield: "Read Only" Security Control setting
In Box Shield, add a Security Control setting that locks the folder and effectively puts the folder in a read-only mode, disallowing edits and uploads, no matter what the collaborators' permission levels are (except Admin, obviously).
This way, it's possible to give users a "lower" permission level to a subfolder without affecting their elevated permissions in the parent folder.

Bulk Change Collaborator Permissions
We have folders that collaborate hundreds of users. We have occasion to need to modify their permissions. It would be very useful if there was a way to modify the permission level of multiple users. Using the Web UI to modify a single user at a time is very inefficient.
Either via selecting multiple users at a time, or even better, if you were to "re-invite" a user to a folder and select a different collaboration permission.
This way you could use the invite dialog box to re-invite 100 users - and change their permissions all at once.2 votes
