Add an Option to Hide Global IP Address in Box Sign Signature Logs
Currently, when using Box Sign to request a signature, the signature log that can be obtained after completion displays the global IP address of the requester.
In our company, the global IP address is treated as confidential information and is considered highly sensitive according to our internal policies. Therefore, having this information visible in the signature log, which can be accessed by the recipient, is a significant concern for us.
For privacy protection and compliance with company regulations, we strongly request the implementation of a feature that prevents the global IP address from being recorded or displayed in Box Sign signature logs.
〈Box Sign署名ログでグローバルIPアドレスを非表示にするオプションを追加する〉
現在、Box Signで署名依頼を行うと、署名完了後に取得できる署名ログに署名依頼者のグローバルIPアドレスが表示されてしまいます。
グローバルIPアドレスは会社の規定として機密情報として扱う重要な情報です。
そのため、依頼先の相手が閲覧できる署名ログに表示されるのは非常に困ります。

I would like the number of managed users to be displayed in real time.
Regarding counting managed users in Admin Console > Users & Groups, the current design has a delay of one or few hours before accurate number is reflected.
While we can use reports to see the exact number of users, it would be better to be able to see the number immediately after adding or removing users more intuitively.6 votes -
API Support for Managing Shared Links on Hubs
This request is to add Box API capabilities to view, create, update, and remove Shared Links for Hubs. Currently, there is no API support for managing Shared Links on Hubs, which limits automation and integration with enterprise workflows.
Enabling this functionality would allow for programmatic control of Hub sharing, improve governance, and support scalable content distribution strategies.

Do not send notifications to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.
Currently, when you invite a group to Box Hubs, all group members receive a notification.
However, if there are many group members, if all group members receive the email, it may violate some rules of Exchange Online.
Therefore, I would like to see an improvement so that notifications are not sent to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.

＜フォルダへのグループ招待時のようにHubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知を送信しない＞
現在Box Hubsでグループを招待すると、グループメンバー全員に通知が届きます。
しかし、グループメンバーが多い場合、グループメンバー全員がメールを受信すると、受信するExchange Onlineの何らかのルールに抵触する可能性があります。
そのため、フォルダへのグループ招待時のように、Hubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知が送信されないように改善してほしいです。23 votesThank you for your request. We will take it into account but this feature is not planned yet. We may get back to it in the future.

Bulk grant and remove permissions to Box Hub.
When BoxHubs is managed by an administrator, it is necessary to be able to grant or revoke access permissions to BoxHubs in bulk in order to manage users who can access BoxHubs.
The current functionality requires granting access permissions to a large number of BoxHubs, which would be too time-consuming to do manually.
For example, a tenant using BoxHubs manages around 80 to 100 BoxHubs,
It would take too much time and effort to do all of this manually, one by one.[日本語訳]
BoxHubsを管理者にて管理している場合に、BoxHubsへアクセスできるユーザー管理を行う目的で、
BoxHubsへのアクセス権限を一括で付与または権限の削除を行えるようにしたい。
現在の機能では多数のBoxHubsに対しアクセス権限の付与が必要になり、手作業で行うには工数がかかりすぎてしまう。
一例として、BoxHubsを活用しているテナントでは80～100程のBoxHubsを活用し管理を行っているため、
これらをすべて手動で一つ一つ手作業で行うには工数がかかりすぎる。19 votes -

New Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files): Improve Explorer UX during startup/connecting to avoid unstable/incorrect folder state
Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)
When Windows starts, the new Box Drive (Cloud Files architecture) auto-connects. During this “connecting/initializing” period, the Box Drive folder becomes visible in File Explorer even though Box Drive is not fully running/ready. The folder view is unstable: some items show missing icons/status, and opening folders can result in errors. This happens consistently across multiple users in our pilot.
This behavior may be aligned with the feature “Box Drive folders remain accessible even when the Box Drive application is not running,” but exposing a partially-initialized state causes confusion and support tickets (users think Drive is broken or content is missing).Proposed improvement
Please improve the File Explorer experience while Box Drive is starting/connecting/initializing so users do not see an unstable or misleading folder state. For example:
Show a clear “Box Drive is connecting/initializing” placeholder and block navigation until ready; and/or
Provide an admin/user option to delay/hide the Box Drive mount until Drive is connected; and/or
Ensure cached vs. not-yet-available content is clearly indicated without throwing generic Windows errors.Steps to reproduce
1.Install new Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files architecture), version 2.48 (pilot).
2.Ensure Box Drive is configured to auto-start on Windows login.
3.Reboot the PC and open File Explorer immediately after login.
4.Observe Box folder becomes visible before Drive is fully ready; icons may be missing/blank; opening folders may show errors.Impact
・End-user confusion (“Drive is broken”, “files disappeared”)
・Increased helpdesk tickets and delays in rollout/adoption of the new Box DriveThe following is written in Japanese
Windows 向け新しい Box Drive（Cloud Files）：起動／接続時にエクスプローラーの UX を改善し、不安定または誤ったフォルダー状態を回避する
問題（Box はどのような課題を解決できるか？）
Windows の起動時に、新しい Box Drive（Cloud Files アーキテクチャ）が自動接続します。この「接続／初期化」中、Box Drive がまだ完全に起動・準備完了していないにもかかわらず、File Explorer に Box Drive フォルダーが表示されます。フォルダー表示が不安定で、一部の項目でアイコン／ステータスが表示されないことがあり、フォルダーを開くとエラーになる場合があります。この現象はパイロットに参加している複数ユーザーで一貫して発生しています。この挙動は「Box Drive アプリケーションが起動していない場合でも Box Drive フォルダーにアクセス可能」という機能仕様に沿っている可能性がありますが、部分的に初期化された状態が見えてしまうことで混乱を招き、サポートチケットの増加につながっています（ユーザーが「Drive が壊れている」「コンテンツが消えた」と誤解する）。改善案
Box Drive の起動／接続／初期化中に、File Explorer 上で不安定または誤解を招く状態が見えないよう、エクスペリエンスを改善してください。例：
・「Box Drive は接続／初期化中です」という明確なプレースホルダーを表示し、準備完了までナビゲーションをブロックする
・Drive が接続されるまで Box Drive のマウントを遅延／非表示にする管理者／ユーザー向けオプションを提供する
・キャッシュ済みコンテンツと、まだ利用できないコンテンツを明確に区別して表示し、一般的な Windows エラーを出さないようにする再現手順
1.新しい Box Drive for Windows（Cloud Files アーキテクチャ）v2.48（パイロット）をインストールする
2.Windows ログイン時に Box Drive が自動起動するよう設定する
3.PC を再起動し、ログイン直後に File Explorer を開く
4.Drive が完全に準備完了する前に Box フォルダーが表示されることを確認する（アイコンが欠落／空白になる場合がある）。接続中の状態でフォルダーを開くとエラーが出る場合がある影響
・エンドユーザーの混乱（「Drive が壊れている」「ファイルが消えた」）
・ヘルプデスク問い合わせの増加、および新しい Box Drive の展開／定着の遅延Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)

Improvement of API performance and creation of guidelines for API usage
When utilizing Box’s API, if the amount of content per folder is enormous or the number of invitations to a folder is high, the processing speed drops significantly. As a result, it takes a long time to complete operations, which is quite frustrating.
We would like the API to deliver a more comfortable and speedy processing experience, so I hope you will improve the performance when using the API.
Additionally, there are currently no guidelines regarding API performance, so we have no choice but to verify performance degradation through testing.
This is hindering proactive API development. Please create clear guidelines that specify the details regarding API performance.
(In Japanese)
APIパフォーマンスの向上とAPI利用ガイドラインの作成：BoxのAPIを活用する際、1フォルダあたりのコンテンツが膨大だったり、フォルダへの招待数が多い場合、処理速度が大きく低下してしまい、処理が完了するまで多くの時間がかかり不満に思っています。
より快適でスピーディな処理をAPIで実現したいので、API利用時のパフォーマンス向上をしてほしいです。また、現時点ではAPIパフォーマンスに関するガイドラインが存在しないため、検証ベースでパフォーマンス低下の可否を確認するしかありません。

I want to reuse the content entered in File Request as a task message
We are running tasks in a Relay workflow, triggered by uploads via File Request.
In Box’s current specifications, the “file description” entered by users in the File Request form is saved in the file’s description field in its properties after upload.
However, when the Relay workflow starts, the message sent to the task assignee is the one configured in Relay. This message is recorded under the file’s “Activity,” but we also need to check the description field in the file properties, which means switching views and creates extra work.
If there were a feature that allowed us to set the content entered in the File Request as the Relay task message, we would be able to use that instead of the current operational workaround.
ファイルリクエストからのアップロードをトリガーにRelayワークフローでタスクを動かしています。
現状Boxの仕様では、ファイルリクエストフォームでユーザーが入力した「ファイルの説明」はアップロード後、ファイルのプロパティの説明欄に保存されます。
しかし、Relayワークフローがスタートした時、タスク担当者に送信されるのはRelayで設定したメッセージです。このメッセージはファイルの「アクティビティ」に残りますが、ファイルのプロパティの説明欄も確認する必要があり、切り替えが手間となっています。ファイルリクエストで入力した内容をタスクメッセージに転用できるようする機能実装をしてほしいです。

Ability for end users (non admins) to adjust metadata
As Box is evolving more into metadata driven workflows for digital asset library use cases, we need the ability for end users (non admins) to be able to adjust metadata templates specific to their use case or business unit. For example, we'd like to have a champion from Marketing be able to adjust JUST the metadata templates specific to their group, not any metadata templates related to Legal or Sales.

Automating Document Creation via Dynamic Table Generation with Forms & Doc Gen
[Request]
Enable Dynamic Table Generation When Creating Documents with Forms + Doc Gen[Customer Use Case]
The headquarters IT department wants to automate the monthly task of issuing invoices for system usage fees to the group’s local subsidiaries.[Customer Needs]
They want to implement the following workflow as a web-based solution without custom development.- Enter invoice data per subsidiary via Forms
- Generate the invoice with Doc Gen
- Send a signature request to the manager via Box Sign
- After the manager signs, move the document to the shared folder with the local subsidiary
At present, this could be achieved by using the Doc Gen API, but that would require application development, which is a significant hurdle for the customer.
If the above can be done on the web without custom development, they believe it could be reused in other scenarios and accelerate broader business process automation.

- Doc Gen で請求書を生成
- Box Sign で上司に署名リクエストを送信
- 上司の署名完了後、現地法人との共有フォルダにドキュメントを移動
