Additional User Details in admin
When a user is created or provisioned, it would be highly beneficial to have the capability to add additional details about the user that can be displayed in the user report. For instance, we would like to include the user's department and their cost centre as two separate fields that can be reported on. This would allow for a more granular level of detail in the user report, making it easier to categorize and analyze user data based on these specific attributes.
Furthermore, it would be advantageous to have an insights chart that leverages these additional fields. For example, a percentage bar graph could be generated to show the distribution of users across different departments. This visual representation would provide a clear and concise overview of how users are distributed within the organization, highlighting any trends or patterns that may exist.
In addition to the department and cost centre, other relevant details could also be included, such as the user's role, location, and date of joining. These additional fields would further enhance the user report, providing a comprehensive view of the user data. This, in turn, would enable better analysis and decision-making, as it would allow for more targeted and informed insights.
Overall, having the ability to add and report on additional user details, along with the capability to generate insights charts based on these fields, would greatly improve the utility and effectiveness of the user report. It would provide a more complete and detailed picture of the user data, facilitating better understanding and management of the organization's workforce.

External Users Count + Quicker Updates
The External User count is inconsistent between the new view and the old view. It never shows the same total number of users. Additionally, this count can also be inconsistent between our admins never showing the same total.
We would like to see quicker real time updates. Data taking up to 24 hours to show here is concerning when we are managing external users in our environment.

Improve JPG preview quality
Attempted to use Box Preview and commenting as an approval workflow. JPGs are not viewed 1:1 and the proxy preview image is too low of resolution. Would appreciate some control around the preview settings, or a higher-resolution preview.

Hubs and Can View Path
Users with CanViewPass enabled cannot select the top-level folder because it is grayed out, even if they want to add a folder to the Hub. If CanViewPass is on, please allow navigation from the top-level folder (adding to the Hub is not necessary).

removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app
Hey there,
I’d like to request the removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app for Mac. When I delete a file, the system prompts me to confirm the action, which I find unnecessary and disruptive to my workflow. Since deleting a file requires deliberate actions—right-clicking and selecting delete—the additional confirmation step is redundant.
In my line of work, I frequently delete files, and this extra step adds unnecessary friction to my process. If a file is deleted by mistake, it can easily be restored from the Trash folder, making the confirmation prompt an unnecessary inconvenience.
I would greatly appreciate it if this feature could be reconsidered or if an option to disable it could be provided.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Mike AbellHey there,

Shared Link Expiration (Exception) Settings at Folder Level
I need to be able to control the shared link expiration rules at the folder level, especially when they are an exception from the enterprise-wise rule. We have a handful of use cases that fall outside of the top-line structure, and updating links 1-by-1 is added workflow time on the team. Changing for all assets under a folder would save time and impact when links expired by accident or stay live beyond desired timeline.

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.

Search Filter UI
Some people say that when they try to use the search filter, the screen goes dark and the filter moves to the right, which makes the UI look like an error.
They want the filter screen to be displayed in a place where the user can easily find it.1 vote -
I want to be able to edit PDFs on the BOX.
I would like to be able to edit PDF files on BOX (for example, rearranging pages within a file or editing text).
It seems that there is a service on DropBOX that allows you to do the same thing, but it does not exist on BOX, so it would be great if you could make it possible to edit PDFs on BOX to improve convenience.4 votes -
Adding an "Are you sure?" message when scrolling to a new page in Mark Up mode on a Mobile Device
When enabling Mark-Ups/Comments on a Mobile Device:
Whilst annotating on Page #1, the Web App let's you scroll to Page #2 and beyond BUT doesn't give you a warning that your annotations and comments on the previous pages will be deleted (unless you have clicked Save/Post). A message to make users aware of this, before scrolling to the next page, would be extremely helpful OR allowing for multipage mark-ups7 votes -

Add string filters to file actions in Box Relay
A Box Relay example: every day at 03:00am i want to delete all files in a folder and it's subfolders which contain a specific string in their filename. I can't do this right now because i have to select a specific file and cannot apply string search or wildcards as file name (e.g. filename contains "xxxy"). Can you please check if this functionality can be applied. Many thanks.

Requests regarding BoxRelay:
If rejecting, please allow us to enter the "reason for rejection." Although we are substituting by entering it in the comments, comments can be deleted.
Please increase the space between the approval and rejection buttons a bit more. There are times when it causes accidental operations.1 vote -
Improvement of shuttle report filter condition
Hi
At present, I can's select both "Greater than or equal" and "Less than or equal" at the same time on the "Shuttle Job Report filter".
I want to set like below
Greater than or equal 100 MB and Less than or equal 200MB.*The back ground of this idea is below
When I ran the report, if the volume is large job wasn't completed, so I want to limit the result and the condition at the present is not enough to do it.

Support for the vtt mime type
Would it be possible to support the vtt mime type? This is necessary in order to be able to add "tracks" (i.e. subtitles/captions) to videos.
WebVTT files have a MIME type of text/vtt

GoogleDrive Regarding file conflicts in
BoxDriveI am aware that there are solutions for file conflicts like the one below, but there are some cases where the above cannot be resolved. (e.g., under a folder with "Hide" enabled).
・Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/sections/21356589562131
・Use BoxDrive's lock function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360061782454I would like Box to consider a feature like Google Drive that allows you to "overwrite" a file in a pop-up when a file conflict occurs.

Lengthen Limit of Characters Shown when Collaborating with Groups
Box currently truncates group names that are longer than 50 characters when collaborating on a file/folder. Unfortunately, when there are several groups that begin with the same 50 characters, it is difficult to determine which group is which (The only way is in the fly-over it will show the full name).
The limit for Active Directory is 63 characters. Box should at least show this number of characters on group names when sharing.

Use Box Hubs and BoxAI to let me find previously crafted responses to similar questions
I want to be able to put a series of documents (dozens or even a hundred of PowerPoints and Excel files) into a Hub and then ask Box AI to find where I've answered a previous question before, identify the file in which it found it and even tell me the location if possible, such as a slide number.
I had hoped Box AI and Box Hubs already worked this way, but after some failures I worked with Box Support who confirmed that it does not work that way, at least not yet.

I want the API to query Box Hubs for AI queries
I want to use the Box AI API to query hubs. Querying a limited set of files and passing to the AI engine is insufficient. I want to leverage the vector database of Hubs to answer questions about a collection of documents.
My other alternative is to build this out myself. I don't want to do this. I want to leverage the power of the Box AI API. Instead of files I want to be able to pick the hub and ask the question for AI to answer for me.
