  1. Open Shared Link Controls: Add "Default" option for 'download' permissions on Shared Links

    Example: Disable 'download' permissions on all shared links by default, but allow users to re-enable 'download' permissions on a link-by-link basis.

    Allow admins to default the "Let link viewers" option in Content & Sharing in Enterprise Settings. Currently we can restrict or allow this feature, but we cannot set the default option like we can we shared link access levels.

  2. Change wording of a shared file to a more specific title other than "Shared"

    When a Shared Link is created, the file bar in the Web App shows the term "Shared".

    It would be beneficial if this showed the specific nature of the shared link, for example instead of "Shared" the "Share" button would change to "In Your Company", "In This Folder", "Everyone".

    This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  3. Editors ability to create open shared links

    Request to have collaborator “Editor” permissions not able to create “Create shared link”.

    Or, have the ability to configure or option to have “Editor” be able to create links or not create shared links.

    Or, create another classification similar to editor, that would be able to edit content but, not create shared links.

  4. Allow External Collaborators to Search Shared Content for Metadata

    If an enterprise shares a folder to outside collaborators, and the content of this folder includes thousands of documents with assigned metadata templates, the external collaborator does not have the ability to filter search that shared content based on the metadata applied.

  5. Full text folder paths for new shared links report

    Under the new shared links report, the spelled out folder "Path" column is no longer available. Please add this back to make it easier for admins to find content.

  6. Search - Allow searching of shared links to files/folders that you've clicked on

    Be able to conduct searches on shared links that you've clicked on. For example, files that are in a user's Recents but for which they are not a collaborator

  7. External user verification via TOTP for shared links

    Please consider adding a TOTP verification option for shared links. You could allow a link to be shared to an email address but require TOTP verification via that same email address. This would help verify that only someone with access to the email address we shared with can access the content without forcing them to signup for a free Box account.

    Thank you

  8. API Support for Managing Shared Links on Hubs

    This request is to add Box API capabilities to view, create, update, and remove Shared Links for Hubs. Currently, there is no API support for managing Shared Links on Hubs, which limits automation and integration with enterprise workflows.

    Enabling this functionality would allow for programmatic control of Hub sharing, improve governance, and support scalable content distribution strategies.

  9. Easier way to create a bookmark in Box from shared link generation

    Bookmark takes too many steps even when saving a Box's shared link. It should be easier to create a bookmark of a shared Link from adoption perspective.

    As-Is: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Copy the link 3. Move to folder where I want to save a bookmark 4. Create Bookmark and paste&name the link

    To-Be: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Prepare a prompt (probably in the shared Link generation popup) and select "Create Bookmark" and user can select folder they would like to save the link in within the same prompt 3. Save the bookmark (without actually moving…

  10. Make admin console reports (Folders & Files, Collaborations, Shared Links) run at scale

    I saw on the Community site that there is a 10 million item limit, but my company has way more items than that. It is important for us to have these reports for security audits.

  11. Allow edit access on shared links

    Currently, we can choose the access permissions for shared links. However, we want a way to grant edit permission after accessing the link. (Not through the way of adding a collaborator and then sending a shared link to invited people)

    We would like to request that you consider adding the edit permission which we can set for shared links
    in your future release.

    It is very difficult for us when we want to edit files for multiple people temporarily because we have to create a dedicated area and assign the permissions every time.

    It would also be very helpful if…

  13. Remove multiple collaborators from folders

    Box currently does not have a way to remove multiple collaborators at bulk.
    Currently, admin needs to manually remove multiple users by opening the appropriate folder and removing users one at a time.

    Suggestion can also apply to removing collaborators from multiple folders.

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  15. Maintaining Login State via Shared Links

    We have encountered an issue with Box Hubs when accessed via shared links. Specifically, when users access a Hub page through a shared link and then navigate to folders within the Hub, the login state is not maintained. As a result, users are treated as non-logged-in visitors and cannot perform actions such as downloading files.

    This behavior effectively prevents internal sharing of Hubs using shared links, which limits collaboration capabilities.

    We kindly request that you improve the functionality so that users accessing Box Hubs via shared links can maintain their logged-in status throughout navigation within the Hub. This enhancement would…

  16. Allow Us To Move Collaborator Folders to a sub-folder without removing the permissions

    When a user shares a folder with us it sits in our Root folder. Can these show up in a Shared folder to save our Root folder having a load of odd name folders. We believe you can do this in Dropbox.

    ideally we need to be able to change the folder name at our end too without amending it at the user end.

  17. Add further columns to Shared Links report

    In order to prepare a csv file to bulk update existing shared links, it is necessary to
    A) run TWO reports - a BOX USERS Report (CLI command), and a SHARED LINKS Report

    If however, you wish to provide a list of shared links to each Box user who created the link(s), then a THIRD report is needed, a USER ACTIVITY Report (for max years, Items Shared action). This report needs to be filtered to show only the latest date/user that created the link (NB a shared link may be created more than once)

    B) then the BOX USERS Report…

  18. Lock Sorting Settings of Files & Folders independently

    We would like to be able to lock the sorting settings of files in folders? If we sort the folders based on A-Z the files inside the folders swap to Z-A. We would want them to be fully independent from each other.

  19. New Shared Link Setting for OTP to Specific Email Addresses

    Proposing a new Shared Link setting or type that allows users to send a shared link to a specific email address which requires a OTP password, similar to the authentication used when an individual is sent a Sign Request via Box Sign.

    This would allow for a simpler, more secure user experience when sharing one-off links than password-protecting a public link.
