2. How to Replace SharePoint with Hubs

   🙏 Please help us deprecate Microsoft SharePoint by providing the following five features in Hubs:

   1. Pages within a Hub, preferably navigable in a horizontal structure at the top of the Hub (I believe this is already in the works - yay!)
   2. A no-code way to access/interact with a Viva Engage community that we have built to facilitate company-wide communication around many specific topics.
   3. Ability to place images directly on the Hub page and scale as desired, more like current capability in a Box Note (carousel view option)
   4. Ability to embed a video for viewing within the Hub
   5. Ability to assemble upcoming suggested events like webinars, meetings, conferences, etc. (carousel view option)

   Bonus Feature: some type of progress tracker visualization bar/ tool that provides at-a-glance project status awareness. Even if the object requires manual editing to instigate visual advancement, that's still very useful!

3. Update Metadata Through Relays

   This is a function that is already available in the API, but it would be nice to be able to dynamically change metadata values on a template that has already been applied previously through Box Relays.

   For example, if I have a document with a metadata field and value of 'Status: Inactive' and I run the document through a flow that has it approved via a task, I would like to be able to change the metadata to read 'Status: Active' as an outcome of the flow.

4. Download all files from view

   Currently, you are only able to download the files visible in a view. If there are more than 25 files you want to download, you need to complete multiple batches. If you have a folder with 500 items in it, you can download the whole folder.

   We would like to see an option where you can export all files in a view like you can with a folder so specific information can be aggregated across our environment and retrieved via a Box App

   not planned  ·  AdminBlake Walsh (Admin, Box) responded

   We are not currently planning on offering bulk downloads as it is possible to have many thousands of files returned in a View.

   However, you can change this setting (Files and Folders per page) for your user to 100 to get more items on a single page in Box Apps as it respects that setting on a per-user basis.

   You can also use the "Location" column to go to the Folder that contains that file if what you want to download is in the same folder hierarchy.

6. Enable Unlimited or Queued Legal Hold Exports with No Restriction

   Currently, Box limits the number of concurrent legal hold exports to two. Multiple cases, custodians, or collection exports become cumbersome, especially when managing large eDiscovery workloads. Additionally, there is no queue system for pending exports: users must manually retry once an export completes.

   Proposed Enhancement
   Remove or raise the export limit (e.g., allow up to 5 exports at once).

   Add a queued export mechanism: new requests can be submitted even when the limit is reached and automatically begin when slots free up.

   Provide UI indicators for queued exports, completion status, and estimated start time.

   Include log entries in the admin audit trail to track queue initiation and completion.

7. Enable Advanced Boolean Search Filters When Exporting Legal Hold Content

   While Box allows export of content under Legal Hold, the workflow lacks Boolean search capabilities to refine the export dataset. Users can’t currently apply logical conditions like AND, OR, NOT, or grouping filters (e.g., "contract AND 2023" OR "proposal NOT draft") before exporting files. This limitation forces bulk exports and requires manual filtering post-download.

   Proposed Enhancement:
   Integrate Boolean search operators into the Legal Hold export interface.

   Allow users to construct logical queries across file content, metadata, filename, custodian, date range, and folder path.

   Enable advanced filters: (“Project A” AND “budget”) OR (“legal hold” NOT “archived”).

   Display matching results with export checkboxes and preview options.

   Log applied search filters and export actions for compliance auditing.

8. Enable Full‑Text Search‑Based Filtering When Exporting Legal Hold Content

   The current Legal Hold export workflow in Box does not allow for full-text search within held content before exporting. This means customers must export entire holds and then filter or search locally, which is inefficient and can result in unnecessarily large export volumes.

   For effective eDiscovery and compliance investigations, full-text search is critical to quickly locate and export only the most relevant documents. This capability should work across folders, user data, and file contents, not just filenames or metadata

9. Automatically Delete Files After Purge Policy Period (Respecting Legal Hold)

   While retention policies provide timed safeguarding, the system does not guarantee automatic deletion of items once the retention period ends particularly when a purge policy is specified. End users must rely on manual deletion or scheduled processes.

   This enhancement would ensure that files automatically expire and are permanently deleted via defined purge policies unless they’re subject to a Legal Hold, which always takes priority.

   Proposed Functionality:
   At retention expiration, system automatically deletes files according to defined purge rules.

   Legal Hold overrides deletion, preventing removal until hold is lifted.

   The system logs all auto-deletions in audit trails, identifying the purge policy as the source agent.

10. Enable End Users to Apply Existing Retention Policies to Their Content

    Currently, only administrators can assign retention policies to content in Box. This central control is important for compliance, but it also creates workflow bottlenecks when end users need to apply retention to content immediately for governance, regulatory, or project-specific reasons.

    Allowing end users to apply pre-approved, administrator-created retention policies or templates to their own content would:

    Empower teams to self-govern content in line with company compliance standards.

    Reduce admin overhead and delays.

    Ensure governance rules are applied at the point of content creation, rather than after-the-fact by admins.

11. Allow Early Removal of Retention Policy from Specific Content Before Period Ends

    Currently, Box retention policies apply for the entire duration set and cannot be removed from individual files or folders before the retention period ends—unless the entire policy assignment is removed.

    This limitation creates operational challenges in scenarios where:

    Certain files are retained longer than necessary due to changes in compliance requirements.

    Content is mistakenly placed under a retention policy but only a small subset needs early release.

    Legal, compliance, or business needs require faster deletion of specific files without impacting other content under the same policy.

    Introduce the ability for authorized administrators to remove or override a retention policy on specific content items before the set retention period has expired. This should be:

    Granular: Apply to a file or folder level without affecting other content governed by the same policy.

    Auditable: Capture all early-release actions in activity logs for compliance tracking.

    Permission‑Controlled: Restrict this capability to specific admin roles to avoid misuse.

13. Account provision based on invitation received.

    Hi
    Case #3378972. Refer this for details.

    When someone in our domain receives an invitation to collaborate in a folder and they don’t yet have a Box account, an account will be provisioned and that user will automatically become a managed user under your enterprise instance. This is some kind of a backdoor account creation which we want to have a control on. We have account approval process where Cost Center managers review and approve the license cost. Need this capability to have a control over this way of account creation.

16. Box version(s) report

    It would be nice to be able to generate a report that shows a file's number of versions.

    We'd like to change our versioning number at an Enterprise level, but we cannot see how many versions of a file any user has at a time.

    It would be nice to be able to pull a report on 'Versions' of a file so that we can see who has over X# of versions of one file and email them about the upcoming change. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to find this information.

    Also, since there are cases where you want to refer to files in other folders in a higher-level folder, you should also display the higher-level folders.

19. Show "Show Folder" button in banner when creating new folder.

    If the amount of content is small, there is no need to search for it, but if the amount of content is large, it will take time to search for the newly created folder after creation, which is inefficient.
    Therefore, I would like to request that this function be implemented so that I can transition to a new folder immediately after creating it.
