Symlinks in Box to Solve Core Content Organizational Problems.
Box needs symlink support to solve this fairly standard problem that likely happens in every company.
Let's say you manage a team, and you have a team folder and a team structure for how you like to organize and store your files. Inside of that folder are meeting notes, projects, architecture documents, demo recordings, Hiring/Interview Documents and more.
The problem is, eventually the...
- HR team grows and wants to standardize on everyone's interview documents, hiring panels, and more, so they tell you where to put these sorts of files.
- Architecture team grows, and they now want all architecture-related files and documents in a certain structure
- So on and so forth.
Now as a team, you can't store your files in the structure / organization that you want, and your files are now scattered into a bunch of other structures that you don't own. The closest "solution" is collections, but that's basically just a bookmark link for a single person. It's not good enough.
What should happen, is either the Architecture/HR/Other teams make symlinks into your folder structures, or the reverse so that all groups of people can organize content in their own desired way.
This is a core feature of content organization and Box needs to support it.

Box does not work on Microsoft Edge when Norton AntiTrack is enabled. Would be great to have a workaround for this.
Box does currently not function on Microsoft Edge when the Norton AntiTrack plugin/extension is enabled. Have to disable the plugin to be able to use Box. Would be great to have a workaround for this i.e. not have to disable Norton to have Box function on Edge.

Feature request for display of overlapping connector wires in Box Canvas
I would like to see an improvement in the display when the connect lines overlap.
Connect lines intersect in a straight line, but I would like to see the addition of a feature that avoids them when they do, like Omni Graffle or Microsoft Visio.
I will attach an image for reference.【In Japanese】

Box Canvasでコネクタの配線が重なっている場合の表示についての機能要望
＜本文＞
コネクト線が重なった場合の表示を改善していただきたいです。
コネクト線は直線で交差しますが、交わる場合にOmni GraffleやMicrosoft Visioのように、避ける機能を追加していただきたいです。

Editting text files online without using Box Edit
I want to edit text files(.txt files) online without using Box Edit.
Because when I edit a text file with Box Edit, I have to download it each time, which takes time.
I think it would be very convenient if I could easily edit text files on Box, just like Box Notes.2 votes -
Status drop down in Sign has no way to filter for "Error"
The Status drop down has no option to filter for a error. It took 17 days before it emailed a contract had an error. I have no way of filtering if there are others with a error.
Can Error be added to the Status filter?

file and folder tree report same-day request
Allow real-time file and folder tree reporting as soon as files are uploaded. (Currently, I'm able to only request these overnight.) Leapfile, your competitor, allows for real-time reporting. Box should too.

Request Signature outcome should have Form Submitter variable
When creating a workflow like the one in the following article, the Request Signature outcome cannot use the form submitter as a signer
Some of our workflows start with a form, use Box Doc Gen to generate a document, which then needs to be signed by the original form submitter. While the Request Signature step can access form variables, it notably does not have access to the Form Submitter.
It would be great if this was exposed as a variable so that the sign request could have the submitter as a signer.
Our current workaround is to add a field to the form to have them type their own email; this works, but is a bit cumbersome.
It's also a little silly, given the warning at the bottom of the form is "Your email address ... will be recorded when you submit". Recorded, yes - but not available for signature!

Ability review the most recently uploaded documents in temporal order
Aside from that, my real feedback is that your data room doesn't have a feature to review the most recently uploaded documents in temporal order. This is a crucical feature to M&A lawyers, and a lot of your clients use Box for M&A deals. I would suggest that you look at DataSite and incorporate some of their features, because there are a lot of M&A lawyers who are forced to use your service (becuase you're who the bankers decided to use) and the experience is way worse than DataSite. Not trying to be overly critical but just trying to help you out.

Box Shield - enable download details to be exported to csv
Box Shield reports should have a button to trigger a User Activity report for the activities associated with the period of the Box Shield Alert - ALL actions (not just downloads).
This will assist in the investigation of downloads, and enable us to identify 'FALSE' shield reports - where downloads are in fact folders being copied or moved in Box Drive

Metadata “number” format supports comma “,”.
In order to comply with the Electronic Bookkeeping Act, amounts are entered in "number" format in the metadata.In this case, we would like to enter a comma "," as a separator to prevent errors in the number of digits. Currently, the "Number" format only allows numbers to be entered.If we select "Text" as the format, we can enter a comma ",". However, there is a risk of unintentional full-width input being mixed in, so it is preferable to select "Number" as the format and be able to enter a comma ",". (1000 separator)
電子帳簿保存法の対応のため、メタデータの「数字」形式に金額を入力しています。
この際に、桁数の誤りを防止する目的で、区切り文字のカンマ「,」を入力したいと考えています。
現在は、「数字」形式では数字のみしか入力できません。形式として「テキスト」を選択すると、カンマ「,」の入力が可能ですが、意図しない全角入力が紛れ込む危険があるため、
形式としては「数字」を選択したまま、カンマ「,」の入力が可能になることが望ましいです。4 votes -
the folder tree display/tree operations
I would like the folder tree display/tree operations implemented in Content Manager to be implemented on the normal screen as well.
This will improve usability for people who are accustomed to Windows Explorer.
It will make it easier to transition from Box Drive to Box Web.1 vote -
Box AI Reports now available for existing Box plans
Box AI Reports are currently only available on the Enterprise+ plan.
If the new AI experience is available to existing Box plans, I would like Box AI reporting to be available to existing Box plans as well.in Japanese

Flexible Account Display Name
I want to change the display name of accounts for internal and external collaboration within my company's tenant.
When viewing content within my company, displaying "Name-Department" makes it easier to identify individuals in a large organization.
On the other hand, for external collaboration partners, I don't want to show the department name, but "Name-Company" can be easier to identify.
It would be great if the display name could be customized according to each environment.

Block Box notes on android

Add Bulk Files to a Hub
Currently, adding files to a Hub requires each file to be selected individually. Being able to drag a group of files from Box Drive would be really helpful, or some sort of a "Select All" button so that all files within a Box folder could be selected simultaneously.

Custom Hubs file and folder thumbnails
It would be great to have the ability to customize the file and folder thumbnails in Hubs (Ex: uploading a picture to be used as the folder icon instead of the default). This allows the Hub to remain consistent to a certain theme and gives the team more customization.

Adding AI activities to the User Activity Report
Box AI reporting is currently only available to tenants on the Enterprise Plus plan.
Box AI is now available to tenants with the business plan or above, but since operation logs cannot be confirmed from reports, auditing is not possible, making it unusable for businesses and posing a fatal security flaw.
In order to use and utilize Box AI, please make sure that AI activities are output regardless of your plan.(日本語訳)
ユーザーアクティビティレポートのAIアクティビティの追加
現在Box AIに関するレポート機能を使用できるのは、Enterprise Plusプランを利用しているテナントのみです。
businessプラン以上のテナントでもBox AIが利用できるようになりましたが、レポートから操作ログが確認できない状態では監査ができないため、企業として利用できずセキュリティ的に致命的な欠陥があります。
企業でBox AIを利用・活用するため、プランに関わらずBoxAIに関するアクティビティが出力されるよう改修をしてください。1 vote -
Inheritance of permission settings
When a file/folder is “moved” instead of “copied”, the collaborator's privileges are inherited as they were before the move. We would like to see the system modified so that after the move, the privileges are changed to those set in the higher-level folder at the destination, as per the waterfall system.

About the Behavior of BoxAI
When I requested BoxAI to extract content from Excel, it also extracted text from hidden cells. It seems unintended for it to read information that has been intentionally hidden, so please make corrections.
