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!

Enable Web App to display the SHA-1 checksum for an object
We work with multiple large files and would like to be able to view the SHA-1 checksum that is stored in Box from the Web App in order to validate file transfer integrity as necessary.
11 votesThis is a very acute use case that isn’t in line with what we’re currently investing in for Web App. We will re-evaluate with additional customer demand.

Unable to add a content to a Hub site due to folder settings and Enterprise settings
When an user who is invited as editor to contents at folder level or file level tries to choose q folder or file to add a Hub site, those files and folders are grayed out and unable to choose.
this is due to the invite is limited at enterprise setting or folder setting as below./ At Enterprise settings, Box amin checks "only the admin, fokder owner and co-owers can nvite collaborators"
or
/At folder settings, "only folder owenrs and co-owners can send collaborators invites" is checkedThis is bit strange because the user is editor, but it seems that…

Box for Office templates
We have company letterhead templates we are meant to use for all internal and external files. I would love the ability to open up a new/blank Document or Spreadsheet with those attributes already assigned (header/footer/formatting for headers, bullets, etc.).
This would also "force" users to use the letterhead for uniform documentation.
Thanks for your consideration!19 votes -
Integration with Azure Information Protection
Azure Information Protection allows for the classification of files/content. I would like for Box to recognize the Azure IP Classification that has been applied to any given file once uploaded to Box and have a corresponding Box Classification policy applied to the file.

Request for Improvement of BOX Drive Proxy Server Authentication Response Function
BOX Drive is not working properly in our environment.
We recognize that BOX Drive is designed to read Pac files, but the communication is succeeding up to the proxy server according to the Pac file.
However, it seems that it is not able to respond to the authentication response of the proxy server.As a result, when we open files in our Office products (Excel and Word) that cannot be opened in a web browser, we have to download the file once from
BOX.
This method is not productive for us.As a solution, we would like to be…

File type icons need to be different between audio and video files.
In the new Web App, audio and video files have the same icon, whereas in the legacy interface- the icons were different.
This is small but extremely important since we need to be able to see those differences from a quick glance and this is preventing the rest of our account from moving into the new UI.

File Request - Assign to Other Collaborator Permission Levels
Please allow Editors to send File Requests. Currently, only Owners and Co-Owners can send file requests. It would be extremely helpful if Editors could as well. In our organization, we have many with editor rights that could take advantage of this feature and would gain great efficiency . Making these users a Co-Owner will not work with our current permissions segregation.
36 votesEditors can now create File Requests with the new experience which went GA in May. Thanks for your feedback!

I have several reviewers that need independent approve/reject in parallel (simultaneously) rather than serially.
We have 5 reviewers for a task, each having different elements they are responsible for reviewing. Currently we can require they each approve independently, however if one rejects the task is ended for all, regardless of whether they've reviewed it or not, approved it or not.
We need 100% independent approve/reject

Move the "Select" checkbox to be near the filename
(Box web app) I used to be able to select multiple files to move or download by clicking near the filename in Box. I now have to use the "Select" checkbox, which is far to the right of the filename, and I select the wrong files because of this. Please move the "Select" checkbox immediately to the left of the filename to easily select multiple files, or return previous functionality to select multiple files by clicking on them.

Collaborator Clean Up
Collaborator Clean Up - In Account Settings / Collaborators, we want to add the ability to click on any collaborator and see what files and folders they have access to. When looking at the list, have a button available to remove them from specific folders as needed. This will be especially helpful when performing a CBN, Audit or Digital Clean up.
19 votesThe usage of the page is very low. We are gathering feedback about what is the best step forward for the Collaborators page under setting.

google shared drive
Allow Google Drive "Shared drives" content to be copied directly to the integrated Box extension in Gsuite. Currently, this is only available from "My Drive". The work around is to copy "Shared drives" content to "My Drive" (which in itself is awkward, because only files, and not folders, can be copied directly in the cloud), and then copy content from "My Drive" to Box.

Locating who/when files are Moved/Removed (accidentally or on purpose)
If a user moves/renames/removes files, the URLs shouldn't simply be dead links now. Please record information so that impacted users know When the file was moved/removed, and WHO did the action.
I recently had Box Notes and Folders get moved or removed. And while I know who SHOULD have been the owner of the content, anyone else having problems finding the content wouldn't know who to contact.
So if a box link was previously valid, and that content has moved or removed, leaving some breadcrumb for the user, about who to contact, when the content was moved/removed, etc, can…2 votes -

Generate Shared Links as a Relay Outcome
Would like the ability to automate generating shared links on files within Box Relay as an outcome. One use case for this would be to create a process for generating external shared links. Many security-conscience customers don't want everyone to have the ability to shared content externally without some sort of approval or oversight. If we added generating and sharing shared links as an outcome in Relay we could build approval flows that would allow users to get approval to share a file externally even if they don't have the access do so.
