Relay Trigger "copy out" &"move out"
In Box Relay, the triggers for “copy” and “move” are recognized as “when a file is copied to this folder” and “when a file is moved to this folder.” Can we create triggers such as “when a file leaves this folder” or "when a file in this folder is copied somewhere else"? In other words, I would like there to be a function that allows us to detect when a file has been copied out to an external folder. I hope this feature will be considered.

Box EDR
1) How is Box handling Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR / XDR) for its internal infrastructure?
2) We see the "Endpoint Detection and Response Integrations" section in the "Enterprise Settings" of the Admin Console - is CrowdStrike the only integration available? Are they plans to expand to Microsoft Defender or Trellix?

Display Notification for Blocked Uploads to Uploading User
When creating your own Content Security policies for uploads it would be really helpful to be able to create a notification that would be displayed to an uploading user. The notification would be able to be configured by an admin user to explain the reason for why a file upload was prevented.
Without these types of notifications we have users who may upload files and then needless work exists to find out which user uploaded a file type we do not accept to then notify the end user that the file type is not acceptable and then have the user upload a file again. If we could just get the user to know which file types were allowed at upload and the reason if the upload was blocked that would be very helpful.

Behavior when an external collaboration allowed folder is moved to a non-allowed folder
The "If you move a subfolder in a folder that is allowed to collaborate externally to a folder that is not allowed to collaborate externally, the subfolder will still be able to collaborate externally." behavior is a specification of Box.
The above specification violates Box's waterfall permissions specification. When this happens, Box should alert and remove external collaborations.

Calculated Fields in Box Sign
Box Sign does not currently have a way to calculate numbers that are filled out within specific fields. Examples include: setting up an order form, automatically populating contract term expiration date, and signing up forms with multiple choices.
Here's Adobe Acrobat Sign's functionality: https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/calculated-fields.html
And DocuSign's functionality: https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&rsc_301=&bundleId=gbo1643332197980&topicId=crs1578456361259.html&_LANG=enus

Critical Feature Request: Search Function Needed for External Box Links
As a customer managing 7,000+ files on Box.com, we're considering alternative platforms due to a significant limitation in your service. While we've invested in premium features the inability for external users to search within shared links essentially nullifies these efforts.
Key Issue:
External users cannot search within shared links, rendering our organized file structure and tagging system useless during client collaboration. This limitation alone makes us question our continued use of Box.com, as it creates unnecessary friction.Proposed Solution:
Enable search functionality within shared links to:-Improve client experience
-Maximize value of premium features
-Maintain professional workflow
- eliminate double workThis seemingly basic feature would significantly impact our decision to remain with Box.com versus exploring alternative solutions that better support external collaboration.

Automatically generate a password for the shared link
I would like to request the addition of a feature that generates a random password meeting the password requirements on the screen where users create an open sharing link and are prompted to set a password.
When there is a requirement to set a password, manually creating a password each time can be burdensome.3 votes -
Interval in metadata trigger
Hi! Would it be possible to add the ability in Box Relay for the flow to be dependent on the interval between 2 values of numeric metadata?
Now we only have options like "less than", "greater than", but it would be great if we could set the trigger dependance "from...to" like in the search filter1 vote -
Remove unnecessary newlines from Box Notes when copying to other plain text apps
When I copy a list of lines from Box Notes to a plain text editor on MacOS, it always inserts newlines between each two lines. It does not matter if you Cmd + V or Cmd + Shift + V, the newlines still remain.
I don't know what the issue is, but this needs to be fixed. I do not want to spend the time removing the extra newlines when we're copying form Box Notes to somewhere else. It is a waste of time and also worth considering other cloud note tools that might prevent this from happening.

Display TIFF Files without strict metadata validation
TIFF generated across different business, internal and external streams are not consistent with the meta data validation. Some times, the file metadata claims the embedded JPEG uses 1x1 sampling (no subsampling, full resolution), but the actual JPEG data uses 2x1 horizontal chroma subsampling.
In these cases strict validations causes failures to preview the TIFF images, converting millions of such images to PDFs is not scalable effort.
BOX to provide a feature to ignore strict validation of the meta data.

Extend the Collaborations Endpoint to Support "Accepted" Status Filter
Proposed Improvement:
Extend the Box API Collaborations Endpoint to Support "Accepted" Status FilterCurrent Endpoint Description:
The current Box API endpoint for retrieving collaborations (GET /collaborations) supports filtering by collaboration status, but it is limited to the status=pending parameter. This allows users to retrieve only pending collaboration invitations for files and folders. The endpoint is documented at:
https://developer.box.com/reference/get-collaborations/#param-statusProposed Enhancement:
Extend the GET /collaborations endpoint to include support for the status=accepted filter, enabling developers to retrieve all active (accepted) collaborations on files and folders owned by a specific Box user. This enhancement would improve the ability to manage and audit active collaborations, providing visibility into which users or groups have access to specific content.Already filed an enhancement request with the SDK team (https://github.com/box/box-dotnet-sdk-gen/issues/498). Since the underlying API endpoint currently only supports retrieving "pending" collaborations, the SDK team is unable to implement this on their end. Therefore, submitting the feature request here, as it requires a backend API change.

The ability to create File Request Links on Box Mobile
We would like to see the ability for Box File Request to be created from the Box Mobile App.
This capability will allow us to provide secure, ad-hoc uploading portals for our users when out on the field and away from a laptop. This will ensure that we can get the most relevant documents and images as quickly as possible.
Please consider adding this capability for Box mobile so that we may securely acquire content while on the field.
