  1. 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 it

  2. Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"

    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…

  3. 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:

    1. 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…

  4. 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?

  5. Rename 'include subfolders' switch in User Activity report to 'include activity within subfolders'

    There has been some confusion, as not enabling this switch still includes activity directly impacting the subfolders that sit in the parent level.

  6. Allow Box Canvas to draw relational data diagram

    Allow for more arrow options so we can actually use Canvas to build data table relational diagram, so data table relationship can be illustrated for one-many, many-one, one-one and many-many types.

  7. 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.…

  8. 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-Files

    There 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…

  9. 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。

  10. Add a shortcut to a file or folder

    MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ADD A SHORTCUT TO A DOCUMENT from another folder/location. I have been trying to do this by copying a file only to find out that is NOT in fact a shortcut, but rather what becomes an outdated copy.

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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?

  17. Easily end collaboration on Hubs

    People should have a quick and easy way to remove a Hub from the Hubs gallery. Right now, you have to dive fairly deep into the share menu. It isn't intuitive for end-users.

  18. Option to send notifications when a change is made to a shared file

    Have an option to send notifications whenever a change is made to a shared file. I don't want this for every file all the time, but in certain situations this is very helpful - for example, when I'm asking people to add information to an Excel sheet.

  19. I want to set the file update interval to every 5 seconds.

    Box Drive accesses the BOX servers every second, so 10 million access logs are logged per month. To control this, we would like to be able to set the update time of files and folders.

  20. Show which users are inactive users when enabling to certain users in Box Sign, Relay etc

    When enabling Box Sign, Relay and other additional features to only certain users, error is shown if there are inactive users.
    The error does not show which users are inactive so when the admin is not aware of who is the inactive users, it takes time to remove the inactive users.
    It would be great if it shows which users are identified as inactive users.
