Add Support for Surrogate Pair Characters (e.g. Emojis, Supplementary Kanji)
Currently, Box has limitations in handling surrogate pair characters (such as certain emojis or supplementary Kanji) in file names and metadata.
Other major services like Microsoft 365 already support these characters, and we would like to request similar support in Box.
Enabling surrogate character support would significantly improve internationalization and user experience for customers working with multilingual or symbol-rich content.17 votes -
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.

Tansfer Form Ownership
I would like the ability to transfer forms to other users. Reasons below:
If employees are going on extended leave or parental leave and someone else is in charge of managing these forms.
If initial set up is completed by an admin but then continually managed by another team.
I am told form ownership transferring will be available only on deletion of a user account in a future release but would like it to not be reliant on the deletion of a user.

Increase Multi-Document Querying Limitations from 10
The current system limits the number of documents that can be reviewed in a single session, which has led some public sector users to process eligibility documents in multiple smaller batches. In practice, screenings often involve significantly more documents (70 in some cases) than the system currently supports in one batch (10 max), resulting in added workload and inefficiency.

Automatic Approval Removal When Deleting Apps
Since the maximum number of app approvals is limited to 100, periodic deletion of apps is required. However, at present we must request Box to perform these deletions.
We’d like both JWT and OAuth authentication to automatically revoke authorization when an app is deleted in the developer console.
If the service account owns any content, we would like a dialog similar to the one shown when deleting a user, allowing us to choose whether to move or delete the content.
アプリ承認の上限数が100であるため、定期的な削除が必要ですが、現状はBoxに依頼をする必要があります。
JWT 認証と OAuth認証の両方で、開発者コンソールでアプリを削除したときに自動的に承認を削除するようにして欲しいです。
もしサービスアカウントがコンテンツを持っている場合は、ユーザーの削除と同様のダイアログを表示してコンテンツを移動、削除どちらかを選択させたいです。3 votes -
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.

We want to change the owner of a file in the trash

Merge PDFs generated when uploading with Box Sign
Every time you upload a file to Box Sign, a PDF file is generated, which can make the data cluttered.
Is it possible to make it so that only the final combined data is generated as a PDF file?

Showcase thumbnail teams when a file is uploaded via Teams drag & drop
Thumbnail previews in Microsoft Teams integration with Box are currently limited to items shared from Box (either through a shared link or the "Share from Box" content picker button), but not on the Upload from desktop functionality within Teams.
When a file is uploaded via Teams (and a lot of our users use Drag & Drop) the thumbnail preview should be possible5 votes -
We want to use "YYYY MM DD" format for Box Relay date variables
When entering dates as variables in Box Relay, it is inconvenient that the only formats available are "MM YYYY" or "MM DD YYYY".
We would like to be able to enter the date in the "YYYY MM DD" format.Box Relayの日付変数の形式に「YYYY MM DD」を使いたい
Box Relayで日付を変数で入力する際に、「MM YYYY」や「MM DD YYYY」のなどの形式しかないのは不便です。「YYYY MM DD」の形式でも入力できるようにしてほしい。

Custom Shared Link Control by User Type
Admin ability to set global shared link settings by user type - such as no ability for a managed user to set a shared link to "anyone with the link" -- but admins and/or co-admins could set a shared link to be public (in the case of surfacing documentation externally). This could look like, under "Default access for shared links" setting in Admin Console, a new dropdown to allow for an override for co-admins or above, OR the ability to add specific users to an allowlist.

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.4 votes -
I would love to be able to direct Box Drive to any drive connected to my computer.
Have the option to choose where Box Drive syncs from not just where it is installed. Instead of the startup drive as default Box Drive location, having the option to choose any drive internal or external drive would be great.

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。

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。31 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).

Shield - Download and Navigate to a file directly from a Malicious Content Shield Alert
For the Malicious Content rule, it should be possible to download a malicious file directly from a Shield Alert for sandboxing without having to search for it.
Also, an admin who has Content Manager access should be able to click a button within the alert and navigate to the file in the Content Manager to manage it.

Feature Request to Hide/Show Default BoxNotes Sidebar
Content: When opening BoxNotes for the first time, the sidebar is displayed and open.
Users who are not familiar with Box operations do not know how to hide the sidebar, which narrows the screen and makes it difficult to grasp the overall structure of the note, reducing work efficiency.
We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows the tenant side to set the default sidebar to show/hide.(日本語)
件名：デフォルトのBoxNotesのサイドバーを非表示/表示にできる機能要望
内容：初めてBoxNotesを開いた場合は、サイドバーが表示されて開かれます。
Box操作に慣れていないユーザーはサイドバーを非表示にする方法がわからず、画面が狭くなるためノート全体の構造が把握しづらく作業効率が低下します。
テナント側でデフォルトのサイドバーを表示/非表示に設定できる機能実装を希望します。2 votes -
