Enhanced Granular Access Controls for External Collaborators
Current Limitation:
- Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
- No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizationsProposed Feature:
Implement a multi-tier external collaboration access control system that allows:
1. Configurable access duration and permissions based on organizational relationship
2. Ability to create exception groups with extended or permanent access
3. Granular control to distinguish between:
- Completely external users (standard 30-day restriction)
- Trusted partners/affiliated organizations (customizable access duration)
- Specific trusted domains with distinct access rulesUse Case Example:
An organization wants to:
- Maintain strict 30-day access for unknown external collaborators
- Provide longer/permanent access for trusted partners like subsidiary companies or closely affiliated academic/research institutionsBusiness Value:
- Increases flexibility in collaboration management
- Reduces administrative overhead of manually managing access
- Provides more nuanced security controlsCurrent Limitation:

Request for improvement of the event where the cell date is different when previewing an Excel file
In Excel, if you enter a date in a cell with a custom format, a different date will be displayed when viewed with previewer permissions.
For example, if you enter "2026/1/1", if you check it with the previewer permission, it will be displayed as "2026/10/12".
This event is described below.Introducing Box Preview – Box Support
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195013-Introducing-Box-Preview“Date values with the custom format "yyyy/m/d (aaa)" may show incorrect dates. This is due to a bug in the library that Box Content Preview has a dependency on. The workaround is to use a different format such as "yyyy/m/d (ddd)" or "yyyy/m/d".”
Editor and viewer permissions are displayed as they were entered, but previewer permissions are not the date entered.
It seems to be caused by a bug in the library that Box Content Preview depends on, but there is no way to check the correct date because the previewer permission does not allow downloading the file.
Therefore, we strongly request improvements.【In Japanese】

Excelファイルをプレビューした際にセルの日付が異なる事象の改善要望
＜本文＞
Excelにおいて、表示形式がユーザー定義となっているセルに日付を入力すると、プレビューアー権限で表示した際に異なった日付が表示されます。
例えば、『2026/1/1』と入力したセルはプレビューアー権限で確認すると『2026/10/12』と表示されます。
この事象は下記に記載があります。Boxプレビューの概要 – Box Support

編集者権限やビューアー権限は入力時と同じものが表示されますが、プレビューアー権限では入力されている日付ではありません。
Box Content Previewが依存しているライブラリのバグが原因のようですが、プレビューアー権限はファイルのダウンロードができないため正しい日付を確認する方法がありません。

Visualizing Template Usage and Deletion within the Tenant
In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.
However, when we want to delete templates that haven’t been used within the organization for a long time, we have to ask the original creator to unpublish or delete them, which is cumbersome.
If unnecessary workflows remain, the interface becomes cluttered and administration becomes difficult.These issues can be resolved by surfacing templates that haven’t been used for an extended period within the tenant and allowing administrators to unpublish or delete them.
We request a feature in the Admin Console’s Relay Templates list view to display the “Last Used” date and enable selecting older templates for bulk deletion.〈テナント内テンプレートの利用状況可視化と削除機能の実装〉
Box Relayでは、ユーザーが作成したワークフローをテンプレートとして公開することでテナント内の他のユーザーも利用することができます。
しかし、社内で長い間利用されていないテンプレートを削除したいとき、そのワークフローを作成したユーザーに公開取り消し/削除を依頼しなければならず、手間がかかります。社内に不要なワークフローが残り続けてしまうと、画面が煩雑になり管理も大変になります。テナントで長期間利用されていないテンプレートを可視化し、管理者が公開取り消しや削除を実施できれば上記問題は解決します。
管理コンソールのRelayテンプレートの一覧画面で、テンプレートの最終利用日を表示し、古いものを選択して一括で削除をできるような機能実装をお願いします。In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.

Flexible IP Restrictions: Require Strong IdP Auth Rather Than Immediate Block
■Request
We would like Box’s conditional access capability to be enhanced so that, in environments where IP address restrictions are enabled, the IdP’s (e.g., HENNGE) authentication method can be switched based on the source IP.■Specific example (use case):
When accessing from an allowed IP: Log in with standard SSO (e.g., ID/password).
When accessing from a non-allowed IP: Require strong authentication at the IdP, such as a client certificate, in order to log in. Example: Box requests and validates the corresponding assurance level (AuthnContext) and permits login only when the requirement is met. If the requirement cannot be met, explicitly deny access.■Background
Currently, Box’s IP address restriction immediately blocks access from non-allowed IPs at the front end, which prevents us from directing users to stronger authentication at the IdP (e.g., client certificates).There are cases where access from non-allowed IPs is needed when using Box, but requests related to IP address restrictions take several days to process, so it is not practical to submit allow/remove requests for the target IP each time. Therefore, we would like to allow the use of Box from non-allowed IPs if additional conditions (strong authentication) are satisfied.
■要望
IPアドレス制限を有効化している環境で、アクセス元IPに応じてIdP（例：HENNGE）の認証方式を切り替えられるよう、Boxの条件付きアクセス機能を強化してほしい。■具体例（ユースケース）：
・許可IPからのアクセス時：
通常のSSO（例：ID/パスワード）でログイン。
・許可外IPからのアクセス時：
IdPでクライアント証明書などの強固な認証を必須化することでログイン。
例：
Boxは対応する強度（AuthnContext）を要求・検証し、要求を満たした場合のみログインを許可。
要求が満たせない場合は明示的に拒否。■背景
現状、BoxのIPアドレス制限は、許可外IPからのアクセスをフロントで即時ブロックするため、IdPでの強固な認証（例：クライアント証明書）に誘導することができません。Boxの利用において、許可外IPからのアクセスが必要となるケースが存在するが、IPアドレス制限に関する申請には数日かかるため、都度、対象のIPアドレスを許可申請/削除申請することが現実的ではないと感じている。
そこで、許可外IPからのアクセスであっても、追加の条件(強固な認証)を満たす場合にはBoxの利用を可能としたい。■Request

Tenant-level shared link restrictions for Box Hubs
We strictly manage folders and files on Box,
but the ability to select "People with the link" in Box Hubs poses a serious risk of data leakage.
To ensure secure usage,
we request the addition of a tenant-level setting that disables the "People with the link" option for Box Hubs shared links.Without this restriction, it will be difficult to allow users to utilize Box Hubs safely within our organization

Log in as “AutomationUser” from the new UI Content Manager
Content: Currently, it is possible to log in as a proxy via the Content Manager of the old UI, but it is not possible to log in as a proxy on the new UI.
If the user is a managed user, you can log in as a proxy from the "Users and Groups" screen, but since AutomationUser is not displayed on the "Users and Groups" screen, you will need to log in as a proxy from Content Manager.
Since not being able to log in as an AutomationUser has a large impact on our business, we would like this functionality to be improved.(日本語)
