Allow metadata fields to be applied at the folder level, with files in that folder (or added to that folder) automatically inheriting the metadata fields AND potentially the values associated with those fields.

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.

Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead.
Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead. This gets us a step closer to the vision of Box as the single place for all content.
Today, even though I have Box, employees can still save into Google Drive, which creates security, governance, privacy, and other risks.

Enable to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via file request.
I would like to use the Box API to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via a file request.
In the current specification, the "createdby" and "modifiedby" names of these files are both "Anonymous User" even if the file was uploaded by a user who is logged into Box.3 votes -
Currently our event log does not log detailed about activity made in External Folders
For example, copying files from an internal folder to an external folder our admin logs does not log the file name or details about the file. Only logs the File ID and target Folder ID.
We should log activity made in external folders.Registering Webhooks against external folders detailed logs are exported. We should be logging the same details to our admin logs.

Automate task creation on newly uploaded files.
This is a multi-part request: I would like to be able to automate task creation and I would like to incorporate SLAs based on document tags/folders/etc.
Basically, I would like a task to generate automatically based on set rules (identified assignee(s), SLAs e.g "Due Date = X min/hours/days in the future" based on x SLA)2 votes -
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.

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.

restrict by file type at folder level
Would like the ability to restrict File Types at the folder level, (with Waterfall rule would be ok, but ability to break waterfall would be a bonus).
Currently we use Quarantine Policies to restrict .msg files in Box, but does not allow us to make exceptions by folder. (eg. to allow certain departments this ability, but block from others).4 votes -
Improved search (not 'search term')
My hope is to search for "other than ●●" and "NOT ●●"
My preferred search method is, for example, There are 3 files. The file names are A, B, C.
I want to enter "not B" in the search. The result is A and C files.
It is usually called "Not search". (in Japan)6 votes -

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.

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…

Linked Files and Folders in Box Drive
I'd like to be able to have a folder linked to other folders with the same file so the file can be updated from either location.
For example, there are Client 1 and Client 2 folders each having the same Folder A within them. In Folder A would be File B and if you update File B by going through Client 1 folder, it would be updated the same as if you went through Client 2 folder.

Hide/Turnoff Box Drive Error message
With Box Drive, users are getting many error messages pertaining to incompatible file names. Users would like the ability to prevent continued notification since most of these files do not below to them. Possibly could be handled with a [Dont show again] or [Remove from alerts] check box
15 votesYou can disable notifications through OS controls for Box Drive. That being said, we are working on improving error handling in Drive to address the root problems and hopefully lead you to disabling notifications as they are an important part of our UX!

Schedule files to automatically transfer from one box folder to another at a designated time
We would like to have the ability to have our Box files automatically transfer from one Box folder to another at a designated time. This is a critical business need for our internal marketing and tech teams.
Additionally, this is relevant to our consultant data that is proofed, authorized and then moved over to the folder that is synced with the proprietary business app searchable by the consultants.

Get a Link in Microsoft Teams integration
Playing with Microsoft Teams, I discovered that for files stored in the generic/default section of Teams, you can "Get a link" to copy the hyperlink for the file to your clipboard. When I add the integrated Box storage feature, though, files there do not offer the "Get a link" option. It really needs it, otherwise convenience will steer people to NOT use Box for storage.

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 -
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.
