Extending the Attach files as shared links functionality to Box for Outlook mobile
Per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195733-Understanding-Box-and-Outlook-Integration-Options, the Box for Outlook integration only supports attaching files as shared links on desktop. Requesting that this functionality extends to iOS and Android.

Attach files directly in Outlook (iOS/Android) with the Box for Outlook integration
You should be able to use the native Outlook attach file option to add Box files into Outlook emails on iOS and Android.
It seems like a real oversight to lock down Intune and block saving to OneDrive, locally on the phone etc. and then give users a terrible experience where they try and attach a file to an email and there's no available location to get files from and instead you have to go into Box first and share the link from there.

Box AI for Hubs - Address # of files in Hub
The Hub functionality works regardless of the number of files available to be viewed from the link(s) listed on the hub page. However, Box AI for Hubs has a restriction of 10,000 files that can be indexed, which includes files that may be nested under the link shown in the hub. Given this, it would be helpful if we could manually disable Box AI for Hubs on specific hubs that we know are indexed for over 10K files so that users do not get an error message on those hubs when they try to use Box AI. (Possibly hiding the Box AI icon.) Additionally, it would be helpful if Box would automatically temporarily disable Box AI if during indexing, a hub where Box AI is allowed grows to over 10,000 indexed files. A tool tip could indicate why Box AI has been grayed out so that the organization could make a decision on how to address the situation.

Display the person who is holding the lock.（ロックを取得している人を表示）
Since it is not displayed who is locking the file, it is unclear who has obtained the lock. Being able to identify this will allow us to request the person holding the lock to release it.

Ability to upload input spreadsheets to define source and target locations for Shuttle migrations
In the admin console version of Shuttle, it can take up to 10 minutes to load accounts and folders that the migration job is planning to migrate into. This can lead to significant time to create a job and is quite manual.
In the standalone version of Box Shuttle, you could upload a spreadsheet that includes the source location and where it would be migrated into Box. This bypassed the selection of users and folders that can take a long time for our largest customers.13 votes -
Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link is added as a collaborator when previewing the file.
Currently there's no indication that users should click on the Preview button first or add the recipients as collaborators directly on Box, so it's confusing for users.
Ideally, the Edit button would also add the necessary permissions before opening the Edit screen.Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.

File Open Integrations
When opening a file using Excel Online, it opens in a new tab in the browser. This new tab has no Forward or Back sites available which allows for easy navigation of the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.
However, when you do the same thing for a Google Sheet, it opens in the same tab as the Box folders. That means the site has Back options. This makes it incredibly difficult to navigate the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.
Can we have some consistency with the file integrations?

When adding group members via the API, duplicate requests are added when the same request is made at almost the same time.
The Box representative told us that this is a rare event that occurs only when there are overlapping requests at the same time, and that there are no plans to correct the current behavior.
If multiple requests arrive within a short period of time but do not overlap in time, a 409 (Conflict) error is usually returned for all but the first request.
Therefore, it is considered to be an event that occurs only when a request is made with very short timing.For example, this is expected to occur when the same command is used to add a group member when processing on the API side. However, because no error is returned, the duplication of group members is not noticed and is likely to affect other processes.
Therefore, we would like to modify the system so that duplication of group members does not occur.Box担当者より同時刻にリクエストが重なったときのみ起きる稀な事象であり、現状の動作に対する修正予定はないと伺っています。
短時間で複数リクエストが届いても時刻が重ならなければ、最初のリクエスト以外は通常 409(Conflict) エラーが返されます。
そのため、非常に短いタイミングでリクエストされたときのみ起きる事象と考えられています。例としてAPI側の処理を行う際にグループメンバーとして追加する同一のコマンドを入れることで、本事象が起きることが予想されますがエラーが返されないことでグループメンバーの重複が発生していることに気づけず他処理に影響を及ぼす可能性が高い問題となっております。

Box Shield - ability to save Shield Alert details to MS Word and PDF document
There should be a button on face of Box Shield Alert that enables user to save the alert to Word or as PDF. This can then be forwarded to line managers if details are requested to challenge or discuss with their staff

When a folder lock is performed, the result must be output to the event log.
Even if a folder is locked using the Folder Lock API, the operation log is not output to event information.
We are having trouble determining if a folder lock has really been applied unless it is output in the event information that the folder lock has been applied.Folder Lock API を用いてフォルダをロックしても、操作ログがイベント情報に出力されません。
フォルダロックしたことがイベント情報に出力されないと本当にロックがかけられたのかどうかが判断できず困っている。6 votes -
Sidebar Display
Everytime I open a link or new instance of Box, the side bar automatically opens up. It takes room on the screen and the information isn't useful at all (I don't need to be constantly aware of who the members of the group are). Please make this list show up elsewhere when it's necessary to view who users are.

I have to download and "repair" Box Tools AT LEAST once a week because Box will randomly stop opening documents.
And if I try to open it online, the formatting is absolutely fcked to the point I can't effectively edit the document because I can't even tell what it's doing. This is enormously annoying and seriously affects my efficiency. I am wasting so much time just trying to get Box to do the bare goddmn minimum.

Ability to Name Scheduled Reports
Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is based on the filters selected. We would rather be able to name the report so it arrives as "Admin Dept User Activity [user name]" and the date/time stamp.

Save Microsoft Teams Recordings to Box
When recording a call/meeting in Microsoft Teams, it defaults to using OneDrive as it's default storage. Currently the process of saving a recording is a manual process of downloading the recording, and uploading to Box. I'd like an option to default recording data to Box instead.

Automatic output function of shuttle job report
Currently, to output a job report, you must click the Export button from the Job Report window.
It would be great if the job was automatically exported to the Box Shuttle Reports folder when it was completed.
It would be even better to receive a notification email when the job report is automatically exported.2 votes
