UX - Not clear when a note name is taken
When a user insert a note name and the name is already taken, there is a small notification at the end of the line.
It is not visible enough, and when focusing out the name reverts to the previous option.It took me 2-3 times to understand what the issue is because the notice wasn't clear enough.
Possible solutions :
1. add a suffix to the name
2. make a red bold notice on the name so the user can't miss it1 vote -

Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"
We would like to request an improvement in the synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive so that they can be synchronized within 5 seconds.
Our investigation of the synchronization speed is based on the following items.Pattern (3) Upload to Box Drive and check the screen update on WebUI: Result: No automatic update even after waiting for more than 5 minutes.
Pattern (5) Delete the file on WebUI and check the update on Box Drive: Result: 20 seconds
Pattern 6: Delete the file on the Box Drive and check for updates on the WebUI: result: 3 minutes
Pattern ⑦ Delete the file on Box Drive and confirm the update on Box Drive on the other terminal: result 16 sec.
Pattern ⑧ Edit the file on WebUI and confirm the update on Box Drive: result: 10 seconds
Pattern (9) Edit the file on Box Drive and confirm the update on WebUI: result: 52 sec.
Pattern ⑩ Edit on Box Drive and confirm updates on Box Drive on another terminal: Result 2 min 10 secWe are aware that the synchronization method differs from that of other companies' products, but all of the other companies' products complete the process within 5 seconds.
We would like to request that you improve the synchronization speed, as a slow synchronization speed is not convenient for users and can lead to shadow IT.

Share this link. Box.com's aggressive marketing misleads our customers.
Hello Box!
Unfortunately, we cannot fully use your product due to your company's aggressive marketing, which misleads external users.
The problem lies in the implementation of sharing public links to files or folders with external users:
- When an external user opens the link, they see a pop-up message from Box in a green field (as shown in screenshot 1): "Log in to Box to save all files you view in your Recents and return to them at any".
If our client does not click the small white cross on the right to close this message, they are redirected to the Box login page, even though they received this link to view a presentation or download it.
This service message also hides the important "Download" button, which our client does not immediately see.
This service message is clearly part of aggressive marketing to attract new users to the Box service at the expense of convenience and efficiency for its current clients.
Solution we propose:
Disable this message, as it misleads our clients and forces us to use Google Disk for file sharing, since it doesn't have such issues. For an ordinary person who is not familiar with Box, it's not obvious how to download a file.- When a client who received the link still finds the "Download" button and clicks it, they are again misled if they are an inexperienced user: they are prompted to join or log in to Box (screenshot 2).
Solution:
Please remove these buttons and messages, leaving only the status that the file is downloading, as is done in Google Disk and Dropbox. Why this aggressive marketing that harms real clients?- Please place the "Download" button in a visible spot next to each file when hovering over it. Currently, you need to click the "three dots — more options" icon for this (screenshot 3).
We would be very grateful if you take our suggestions into account, as we are sure this will make your service more convenient and even more popular among a larger number of users. This way, we won't have to use Google Disk for these tasks, fearing to mislead our clients and constantly explaining how to download a file via the link.
Thank you!

Google and Microsoft FORMS integration is missing!
I see that this is not planned based on lack of demand. I'm writing this comment to increase the demand.
I will continue to use SharePoint or Google drive because this is missing from box.
Word, PPT, Excel, Google docs, slides and sheets are all here... why not forms?

Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures
In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.
Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.
Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.
Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:
Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within these applications. Users may also experience errors or silent failures when saving from these applications into Box Drive.
We recommend you install the .exe or .msi version of these applications (for example, Photos or Office) instead of the Windows Store app. Otherwise, on the windows store app you'll need to save the item outside of the Box folder and then drag the item back into Box.In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps.

How can I specify a file type to ignore or block
I found a thread on the forum (URL copied below) which was asking exactly what I am looking for. However, it is 4 years old and this page also has many ideas suggested but they haven't been addressed. Thus, I am not sure if my idea will be addressed but I will mention it anyway.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360052391193-How-To-ignore-FilesThere are certain files I want Box sync to ignore or block. I would suggested allowing the user to create a configuration file in the root folder for the same in which we can specify files to ignore or block. This way, Box sync can read this file before a sync and honor it.

Request the ability to suppress emails during user provisioning in Box
When a Box user is provisioned, an email is sent to the person's email address, but there are cases where many companies and organizations, not just us, are provisioning mailboxes at the same time. In this case, the mailbox provisioning is slower than Box provisioning is completed, so Box determines that the email is unknown and is entered on the deny list. To prevent this, I'd like to see a feature that doesn't send emails during user provisioning in Box.

Boxのユーザープロビジョニング時のメールを送信しない機能を要望する
＜本文＞
Boxユーザーがプロビジョニングされると、そのユーザーのメールアドレスにメールが送信されますが、私たちだけでなく、多くの企業や組織が同時にメールボックスをプロビジョニングしているケースがあります。この場合、メールボックスのプロビジョニングは Box のプロビジョニング完了よりも遅いため、Box はメールが不明であると判断し、拒否リストに入力されてしまいます。これを防ぐために、Boxのユーザープロビジョニング中にメールを送信しない機能を用意していただきたいです。1 vote -

I want to use box ai to train my own ai models
I imagine a world where I can create a model and associate it with a metadata set. I think it would work like this.
Create New AI Model. I would put it right next to metadata creation. Let's say I create an AI model called "Analyst Answer". I would associate Analyst Answer with a metadata template.
In the AI Model I would pick the metadata template and then I would assign Independent and Dependent variables from the MetaData Template.
For example,
Independent Metadata Field -
Financial Input 1 (Net Worth) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 2 (Income) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 3 (Annual Performance) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 4 (Age) - Tag as IndependentOutput - (Analyst Commentary) - Tag as Dependent
I could handkey in those metadata values or use Box metadata extraction to fill them in.
I could do a search based on the files with that metadata and click select "train model".
Now, when I upload a new document of that metadata type it would run through the ai use metadata extraction to fill in the independent variables and then based on the model fill in the dependent or AI model value.
A way to leverage Box documents for models without having to pull things in and out.

Disable offline access for specific folder
We would like to have a feature to disable Box Drive offline access for specific folders. Our users try to download the whole department folders and sensitive folders without realizing it. This is causing issues with disk space and compliance and there is no way to control this at the folder level, as Editor will have default access to download all files offline.

Visual confirmation in webapp for which Zone content is stored in
Some customers require end user and audit confirmation that specific content is stored in a specific Zone. This can easily be confirmed if this content has some type of in-app designation (maybe another piece of information in the 'Details' tab of the webapp) that confirms which Zone a folder/file is stored in. Since this tab is already displaying file/folder info, this should be able to be included with the same API call the webapp makes to Box.

Allow using 2FA for free accounts
Hello,
It is very regrettable that BOX doesn't provide the possibility to set up 2FA security connection for theirs free account users! To have this level of security connection to the BOX account doesn't mean to profit extra services, quality, support, etc., but simply protect the BOX account and safe private data.
That's should be nowadays including in base services, that's not an extra!
To compromise the security of free BOX account users by blocking to use a worldly recommended 2FA security system, is simply contemptuous and dangerous.
Can BOX revise this issue?
