  1. Box Search Returns Partial-Match Results — Unable to Search for Exact Folder/File Name Only

    Summary: When a user searches for a term in Box that is also a substring of another folder or file name, Box returns both the exact match and the partial matches in the search results. There is currently no way to perform an exact-match-only search in Box, which makes it difficult for users to isolate specific content when similarly named items exist.

    Problem Description: Box search uses partial/substring matching by default. When a user types a search term, Box returns all items whose names contain that term — not just items whose names exactly equal the term. This behavior cannot…

  2. IP Address Restriction for Webapp and SELECTED API calls

    We want to enable IP address restrictions only for the web app and selected applications.
    Possible methods include submitting a list of client IDs exempt from restrictions during application, or providing a UI to specify an app list excluded from IP address restrictions.

    Currently, only the following two options are available.
    - Enable only for Webapp
    - Enable for Webapp and All API calls

    What we truly want is to apply IP address restrictions to the web app and BoxDrive. However, selecting “All APIs” renders nearly all other cloud-based integration apps unusable.
    For example, losing integrations that significantly boost productivity—like…

  3. Request for AI Unit Usage Limits by User and Group

    We would like the ability to control AI Unit consumption at both the user and group levels.
    Currently, AI Unit usage can be difficult to manage across different departments and user types. We would like administrators to be able to:

    Set AI Unit usage limits for individual users
    Set AI Unit usage limits for groups or departments
    Receive alerts when usage approaches configured limits
    Prevent excessive AI Unit consumption and improve cost control

    This enhancement would help organizations govern AI usage more effectively and allocate resources according to business needs.

  4. Loop through folders in a folder, and other lists of IDs/strings in a Box Automate workflow

    hi team. any thoughts on when we'll be able to loop through folders?

    (the ability to loop over files in a folder is good, and would be even better if we could have that within a loop that loops over folders)

    some use cases:

    • customers wanting to process files (i.e. move, rename, MDE) in folder trees, involving multiple levels of folders in the tree, and some but not all folders should be included excluded

    • customers wanting to bulk process folders - e.g. loop through folders in folders in folders, and then move/delete empty folders

    • loop through folders and validate certain…

  5. Exclude Specific Content from Box AI

    As a law firm we need to segregate certain client data from the ability to use Box AI due to legal agreements in place with their clients to not be able to use AI on their data. Currently we would need to turn off Box AI on the whole account in order to achieve this requirement, which is not ideal.

  6. Function to disable the display of the login authentication screen for Box for Microsoft Office co-editing features on a per-user basis.

    The following is a request regarding the seamless login feature.
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    To avoid displaying the login authentication screen, we understand that enabling the co-editing feature for only certain users in the tenant settings will resolve the issue.
    However, if the number of users enabling or disabling the co-editing feature increases, managing user and group additions or removals through tenant settings each time becomes extremely cumbersome and impractical.
    Implementing this feature enables end users to handle issues immediately on their own, reducing the burden on administrators.

    下記シームレスログイン機能に関する要望です。
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    ログイン認証画面を表示させないためには、テナント設定で一部のユーザーにのみ共同編集機能を有効にすれば回避できると認識しています。
    但し、共同編集機能を有効/無効にするユーザーが増えたりした場合に都度テナント設定からの制限ではユーザーやグループの出し入れ等の操作が非常に手間となり現実的ではありません。
    本機能を実装することでエンドユーザー自身で即時に対応できるようになり管理者の負担を減らすことができます。

  7. Distinguish “Content Access” and “Download” events

    In the User Activity Report (and related activity logs), “Content Access” and “Download” events currently do not clearly distinguish between:
    1) Actions explicitly initiated by an end user, and
    2) Records generated by Box internal processing (e.g., system/background processing, thumbnail generation, programmatic/chunked access, or other non-user-facing operations).
    As a result, admins cannot reliably interpret audit logs for security monitoring, compliance, and incident investigation. False positives or ambiguous records make it difficult to determine what a user actually did.
    Request:
    Please enhance the User Activity Report / activity log records for “Content Access” and “Download” so that user-initiated actions and Box-internal…

  8. We want users to easily obtain a list of file IDs

    We need a way for users to bulk obtain the ID information of files located in folders for which they have permissions.

    Currently, when users want to check a list of file IDs, they have to contact the Box administrator, who then exports a “Folders and Files Report” and shares it with them. Since there are many such requests, handling them is burdensome.

    Could you add the “Folders and Files Report” to the reports that can be obtained from the Folder Insights screen?

    --
    ユーザーが、アクセス権限を持つフォルダ内にあるファイルのID情報を一括で取得できる方法が必要です。

    現在、ユーザーがファイルIDの一覧を確認したい場合、Box管理者に連絡し、管理者が「フォルダとファイルレポート」をエクスポートして共有してもらう必要があります。このような依頼が多数あるため、その対応に手間がかかっています。

    フォルダとファイルレポートを、フォルダインサイト画面から取得できるレポートの種類として追加していただけませんか。

  9. Enforce signer-only access and security controls in Box Sign

    It would be helpful to have the ability to restrict access to Box Sign documents to signers only.

    Currently, additional protections such as password or login can be configured, but access itself is not strictly limited to the intended signers, which may create a risk of unintended access.

    It would be great if admins could enforce signer-only access at the organizational level, ensuring that only designated signers can view the documents sent via Box Sign.

  10. Add a normal Search Bar to Hubs

    The AI is not great. I have written instructions for staff to follow to troubleshoot something. The AI mixes steps and adds incorrect information so that it makes it useless.
    We need a normal Search Bar that can be typed into to find matching key words. It can just have up and down arrows just like "find in page" that allow you to skip through the hub to the related content.

  11. Add folder picker element to Box Forms

    We like the potential use of box forms + doc gen to create documents that share information, but a challenge for us is placing the generated documents in the right end folder. Currently, when filling out a Box Form, there is no way to target any folders in your box environment.

    If you want to use doc gen, you need to specify the final destination folder when you create the relay. Given our folder structure, this is not possible, and it limits cases where we could use this.

    Proposal: Introduce a permission-scoped UI Folder Picker element to Box Forms so…

  12. Feature Request: Add File Size Sorting Option to Box Search Results

    Currently, Box's search results page does not offer the ability to sort results by file size. Users have a need to sort search results by file size, particularly for identifying large files or managing storage. We request the addition of a "File Size (ascending/descending)" sorting option to the search results page.

  13. Feature Request: Display Per-Folder Result Count in Box Search

    Currently, Box's search results page does not provide a breakdown of how many files match a search query within each folder. This makes it difficult for users to identify which folders contain the most relevant results and to efficiently locate target files. We request the addition of a feature that categorizes search results by folder and displays the number of hits per folder.

  14. Streamline process of adding collaborators to content

    Our users often create their own personal folders and then attempt to share them with their colleagues via shared links. If their colleague has not been added to the file/folder as a collaborator, they will hit a page that says "This shared file or folder has been removed or is unavailable to you." They will then email/message the content owner to request access and/or ask if they have the wrong link. This creates a lot of ad-hoc messages and emails.

    It would be great if there was some kind of real-time notification process wherein the content owner was prompted to…

  15. Schedule Retention Policy Disposition Report

    There are several common reporting capabilities which appear to be missing from Retention / Disposition reports:

    1. Ability to name & save a report configuration for future re-use

    2. Ability to schedule a report to be run regularly - Seems like a no-brainer for topics like disposition, which inherently continuously needs review as content falls out of retention

    3. Ability to collaborate individuals on a report so that business stakeholders can review regularly scheduled reports without needing an admin

  16. Request for UI improvement of Box AI for Hubs

    Content: Currently, in Box AI for Hubs responses, sharing reference materials is displayed as a number, which requires a click each time and makes the display difficult to understand.
        We would like to request improvements to make it easier to access reference materials, such as by changing the subject line instead of the number.

    件名:Box AI for HubsのUI改善要望
    内容:現在Box AI for Hubsの回答で参考資料の共有は番号で表示される為、都度クリックが必要となり、表示がわかりにくいです。
       番号ではなく件名等へ変更する等、参考資料をわかりやすくアクセスできるよう機能改善要望をします。

  17. Enable Auto-expiration for Sign Requests inside Box Automate

    Please enable the standard Sign functionality to set an expiration date for a Sign Request when generated inside Box Automate. A nice addition would be to be able to update that expiration through the Sign API after a Sign document is in progress.

  19. Box Automate: Support for “Form Metadata Template”

    When a large number of metadata fields are captured via Forms, mapping each variable to metadata fields within the workflow becomes time-consuming and complex.

    It would be highly beneficial to support applying metadata to files using a “Form Metadata Template,” similar to Relay, to simplify workflow creation.

    formsで入力するメタデータフィールドが多い場合、ワークフロー内でフォームで取得した変数をメタデータフィールドにマッピングするのに手間がかかってしまいます。
    Relayと同様に「Formメタデータテンプレート」を使ってファイルにメタデータを付ける操作もサポートしてほしい。

  20. Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)

    [Background and Problem]
    A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.

    Below are our feature improvement requests.

    1. Multi-line Input Support
      We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.

    2. Increased Character Limit…
