Hubs permission model should be more granular
Currently in the Box Hubs Beta, all collaborators invited into a Hub receive the "Viewer" permission on files and folders linked in the Hub. This does not allow for Hub content to be view-only and block downloading of content. Alternative methods of managing this such as rolling out classification policies would not be scalable as Hubs usage grows. It would be great if Hubs collaboration could be more granular and there was an ability to invite users or groups into a Hub with other permissions such as "Previewer" so they are more restricted on what they can do after accessing content.

Redundant Shield alerts
Box Shield should be able to recognize when the same file or file set appears in multiple locations and treat it as a single item, rather than generating duplicate alerts across each instance. This would allow users to acknowledge (or dismiss) an alert globally—once for all occurrences—rather than having to clear it separately for every flagged file.

Increased file limit for Box AI for Hubs
Currently, Box AI for Hubs is limited to 10,000 files per hub and 1,000,000 files combined across all hubs in an tenant.
For use cases such as distributing hubs on a departmental basis, this number is low, so we would like the limit to be relaxed.Box AI for Hubsのファイル数制限を緩和してほしい
現在Box AI for Hubsを利用するには、1つのHubで10,000ファイル、テナント内すべてのHubで合計1,000,000ファイルまでが上限となっています。
部署単位でHubを配るといったユースケースでは、この数値では少ないため制限を緩和してほしい。58 votes -
Add Signature field to Box Forms
It would be helpful to be able to include a signature field for a Box form submission. In cases where a user submits a purchase request form, we'd like to also show that they have signed/approved the information being passed (which is something we currently do when a user fills out the form and signs before submission to the procurement team). Being able to include a signature field in the form would save users multiple steps and closely approximate the experience of filling out a form and signing it.

Deleted Shared Link Lookup Tool
In the same manner as below, we'd like the capability to search for disabled shared links as well. Currently, there's no way to locate files if the shared links have expired or become inactive.

Box File Request - no longer on brand for us - we would like to be able to change the picture or leave as a solid color
We utilize the File Request links regularly for our clients. Recently, there has been a change to the cover picture, and now our clients can't easily identify that it is, in fact, our branding and under our purview. We would like to go back to having a solid color that we can customize/match to the rest of our Box site or be able to customize the picture choice.

I would like the restrictions on Box AI to be lifted or reduced.
It's great that the Box AI query limit has been lifted.
Next, we would like to see the following three limits lifted or reduced.
・Limited to 1,000 characters per question
・Text content size limit is 1MB, with larger files only processing the first 1MB of text
・Non-English languages may produce lower quality resultsOf course, we would also like to see the accuracy of the AI improved. (Especially Bax AI for Hubs)

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。28 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

Remove Filter option for Box Apps View
We have a use case where we want to restrict a view so that users can only see verified items in a view from a Box App. No matter how the App is shared, users are always able to change the underlying filters and see items that are not verified. It would be great if there was a setting in the view that turns off the ability for viewers to change the filters and only restrict to the visible filters. Image shows the filters we want them to be able to edit, the "All filters" is no required.

Let me turn off Box AI
I have no use for AI. I do not want Box AI in my workflow at all. But since Box AI was implemented, my default sidebar on the Box web view is Box AI. This is useless to me, and more annoyingly, it replaced Activity (a very useful sidebar) as the default, making my experience of Box less productive and more annoying. I encounter this many times per day and it is infuriating.

Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile
For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
- be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.
- be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
- those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access a document (during their shift hours whether internet is availble or not) and all its annotations (notes and comments) from the previous engineer's shift. They also need to make their observations and comments on the document (even if offline), return to their office where the document annotations synch to the online version, for the next shift worker to take over and resume their work.

Add Date Field to Box Forms
We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format
For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.
However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.
Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.
The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.

Change the wording in the log in / Homepage
Could the wording on the home page be changed to read "Employee of..." instead of "Part of ...."? We share Box with external users and the wording is confusing as they are part of the company but do not work for it.

Support IAL2/AAL2 Identity Providers as a Box Login
Box should partner with identity providers like ID.me and Login.gov, allowing for enterprises to ensure a smooth and secure login process for managed users and external collaborators alike . Users should be able to use these credentials to access Box.
This is especially important to reduce the risk of unverified external collaborators accessing sensitive enterprise content. Ideally, admins can enforce these IdP logins for external collaborators (similarly to how the current 2FA setting for external collaborators works). These two identity providers can require IAL2/AAL2 identity verification and authentication in accordance with NIST 800-63-3 standards.

Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Currently, the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes can only be expanded up to levels 1 to 3.
There are many cases where BoxNotes is created with more than three headings.
It is inconvenient that the formatting cannot be consistent because the number of heading levels cannot be increased, and that the table of contents cannot reflect all headings.
Please allow the table of contents to display headings of the 4th, 5th levels and beyond when viewed.BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす
現在、BoxNotesの見出しの階層はレベル1から3までしか展開できません。
BoxNotesが3つ以上の見出しで作成される場合が多くあります。
見出しのレベル数を増やせず、書式が一貫しないことや、目次にすべての見出しが反映されないことは不便です。
閲覧時に第4、第5レベル以降の見出しも目次に表示できるようにしてください。BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす

Allow users to save column width settings in folder view (Box Web and Box Drive)
Description:
Currently, when viewing folders in Box (both Web and Box Drive), the default column widths for fields like "Name" and "Modified Date" are too narrow. Users must manually adjust the column widths every time they open a folder. However, these adjustments are not saved, and the view resets to the default narrow widths.
This causes inconvenience and reduces productivity, especially for users who frequently work with long file names or need to sort by date.
Feature Request:Enable users to save their preferred column widths in folder views.
Apply saved settings persistently across sessions and folders.
Optionally allow administrators to set default column widths for their organization.This feature would greatly improve usability and efficiency for many Box users.

I want to be able to change access permissions when inviting someone to a Box folder via Teams
As per the current Box specifications, when you invite someone to a Box folder via Teams, they will be granted editor permissions and cannot be changed in advance.
After inviting via Teams, it is possible to change the access permissions on the Box side, but it is very inconvenient to have to change the access permissions every time.
By making it possible to set access permissions in advance, unnecessary permissions will not be granted, reducing the risk of incidents occurring.(日本語)
件名：Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待する時、アクセス権限を変更できるようにしたい
内容：
現在のBoxの仕様として、Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待を行う場合、編集者として権限が付与され事前に変更する事はできません。
Teams経由で招待後、Box側でアクセス権限の変更は可能ですが、都度アクセス権限の変更をする事とても不便です。
事前に付与されるアクセス権限の設定が可能になる事により、必要のない権限を付与する事がなくなる為、インシデントが発生するリスクが減ります。14 votes
