Permanent Folder Tree View in Webapp (Similar to Windows Explorer/Finder)
Currently we have a 'jump to folder' option that provides a modal for navigating by using a folder tree view. Many customers would like this same tree view of their content as a permanent sidebar in the webapp for faster/easier 1) navigation and 2) context for where they're at in any given folder tree.

Enhance user experience for searching files with tag
As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.
- search a keyword filtering with tag
- change the keyword on search box
- filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared
Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.
33 votesSearching for tags without a keyword is now possible in the Box web app.
Tag filter is not reset when changing the keyword.

Ability for users to track activity
In the Closed configuration ,Only admins and co-admins can track activity on the files listed at the URLs below.
Users cannot be tracked.
If users can export reports, they can perform on themselves statistical analysis.
As a result, it becomes possible to actively use Box.
So I want users to be included in the targets that can be exported.26 voteshttps://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/50995996674707-Custom-Upload-Folder-Selection-for-Box-Reports

Create a hyperlink to a point within the same note
Box Notes are wonderful, but after a certain length, they can become unwieldy to navigate. Other services, including Dropbox, offer the ability to hyperlink to a headlines section (text marked as H1, H2) to create a functional contents segment.
Please could we have the ability to hyperlink within documents, at leas to text tagged as a header

Changes to workflow builder functionality
Create changes to workflow builder functionality:
1. Allow folder Editors to be able to build workflows (we have very few co-admins)
2. Allow the workflow builder to specify who is assigning the task (or make it generic.) Just because Bob builds the workflow doesn't mean his name should be on the assigning task.25 votesThanks for your feedback!
1. Editors are now able to build workflows (delivered in Q1)
2. We’ll certainly investigate the task assignee feedback in future feature updates as well, thanks! -
Add PKCE Support for OAuth2 Applications
Currently, Box requires developers to use a client secret for OAuth 2.0 apps, which in turn requires standing up and maintaining a backend service just to exchange authorization codes securely.
While this is secure, it creates a huge amount of friction for developers who want to build modern, client-side applications such as single-page apps (SPAs) or mobile apps. In many cases, the only reason a backend exists is to hold a secret, nothing else.
If Box supported PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange), developers could authenticate directly from the client without needing a backend at all, just as they can…

Playback Speed on Mobile for Videos
I would like to play video contents with double speed in the mobile app's preview mode.
Currently you can change the speed of the video on web but it is not possible on mobile.
It would be great if you can add the playback speed (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) on mobile too.Thank you for your consideration.

Bulk Edit - Add 'Status' column to Bulk Edit spreadsheet
There is no way in the Admin Console to update 'status' (active, inactive, etc.) for 2 or more users at once (aka in bulk).

FIX the SEARCH to search exact terms and support advanced search parameters
There are several major issues here, search should be powerful in order to make the tool as useful as possible. It is to the point now that we are storing so much information on Box that not having a search tool that actually works is causing us serious headache and loss of productivity.
Search returns results for all forms of a word, how is it helpful to be absolutely unable to narrow a search. For example, if I search for "Government" (yes, even when using quotes) I get results including government, governance, govern, etc. Thanks Box, you have now included…

Add Table Layout and Inline Image Support in Box Hubs Content
We’re evaluating Box Hubs as a replacement for our internal SharePoint-based portal, and we’d like a few additional design capabilities.
Specifically, we’d like
(1) a table-style layout option for presenting information in a structured format.
(2) the ability to paste or insert images directly within Hub content.
These features would help us create clearer, more portal-like pages without relying on external tools.(日本語)
SharePoint上に構築している社内ポータルの代替としてHubを検討しており、デザイン面の機能追加を要望します。
具体的には、
(1)情報を整理して見せられる表形式のデザイン(レイアウト)オプション
(2)Hubのコンテンツ内に画像を直接貼り付け・挿入できる機能
これらがあると、外部ツールに頼らずポータルらしい見やすいページを作成できます。24 votesHappy to announce that multi-column layouts for Hubs is available in production for all eligible customers

After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:

Date and Time of uploading file on BOX
Hi! I was faced with the problem of file date uploading on display on BOX.
I know that usually, BOX shows "Today" or "Yesterday" if the file was uploaded to BOX today or yesterday. It's clear, but, I need to see the exact date displayed with numbers. For example, I want to see that the file was uploaded to BOX "18 of May, 2022" instead of "Today".
Moreover, I even can't see the time when the file was uploaded to BOX. I work with the client in different time zones (the difference is 10 hrs) and sometimes it is really…

Task Feature in Box Automate
In the current Box Automate, the Task outcome fails when the folder or enterprise setting is "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites", which we understand is officially stated on the Box Support page.
However, many companies in Japan use this configuration, making the Task feature in Box Automate practically unavailable.Our understanding was that Box had initially stated the existing Box Relay features would remain available after the upgrade to Box Automate. If that is not the case, this may impact customers’ existing business operations, which we consider to be a concern.
We would like to request…

Shield classification user permissions
Request to make classification application settings specific to the classification. Currently, the setting for who can apply/remove a classification is for all classifications, but there are cases where it would be helpful that a classification to be only applied by owners and other where co-owner, or even editor would be allowed to apply certain classifications.
Examples:
1. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that only owners can apply or remove
2. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that owner/co-owners can apply or remove
3. A classification identifying a type of content that owners/co-owner/editors can…26 votesNot a priority. Will revisit in 6 months.

Allow Excel to open report (csv) without worrying about encoding
The encoding for such csv file is in UTF-8 (no Byte Order Mark) and Excel failed to interpret such file, resulting in non-Unicode character turning garble.
Since we open this report in a Spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, it would be beneficial to have Byte Order Mark added to the csv report in the first place.
The workaround now is either
1) Open the csv file in a modern text editor and re-save it using UTF-8 (with Byte Order Mark)2) Open a blank spreadsheet on Excel. From "Data" tab click on import from text data source. The manually imported…

Reflect Power Point page number settings in Box preview
When page numbers are inserted in Power Point starting from the slide following the cover page and the slide start number is set to 0, there is a difference in the page numbers when viewed from the Power Point desktop application and when previewed in Box.
In the Power Point app, the slide on the page following the cover page has a page number of 1, but in the Box preview screen it is 2.There is no workaround for users invited with previewer or shared via a view-only shared link, as they cannot edit or download.

Heading 1/2/3 Keyboard Commands for Box Notes for Feature Parity in Google Docs
As a new boxer, I have found it odd to not have certain keyboard commands in Box Notes that I am accustomed to in other similar apps (specifically Google Docs). The one that I would prioritize would be to quickly change heading styles. In Google Docs it is (on a Mac) Command+Option+1/2/3/(0 for "Body") while text is highlighted or at the beginning of a new line.
Hopefully this can be quickly implemented as it would be a welcome addition to heavy users of Box Notes.
