We would like the "Share" UI for web collaboration to be improved.
Currently, the options for inviting users and generating a shared link are on the same screen, which can be confusing for users.
Please separate the invitation and shared link issuance into clearly distinct screens.

The locking feature in Box for Microsoft Office
Collaborative editing is convenient, but there is a need to prevent others from making edits while someone is making important changes. In Box for Microsoft Office, I would like a feature that allows me to explicitly lock a document while I am editing it, in order to prevent editing conflicts or unintended overwrites by other users during collaborative editing.
共同編集は便利ですが、誰かが重要な修正をしている間は他の人の編集を防ぎたいというニーズがあります。
Box for MicrosftOfficeで共同編集中に、他のユーザーによる編集競合や意図しない上書きを防ぐため、自分が編集しているときは明示的にロックできる機能が欲しいです。11 votes -
Enable Deep Research Mode for Box AI Hubs
<Current Observation>
Box AI Hubs provides fast responses, which is great. However, for complex queries, users sometimes need more comprehensive and well-rounded answers.<Suggestion>
It would be helpful to have an optional "Deep Research" mode, similar to ChatGPT's approach, where the system takes more time (even up to 30 minutes) to review all relevant files in the Hub and generate a deeper, more thorough response.
This feature would make Box AI Hubs significantly more useful for detailed research and decision-making.<タイトル>
Box AI HubsにDeep Researchモードを追加してほしい<現状の課題>
Box AI Hubsは回答生成が速く便利ですが、複雑な質問に対しては、より総合的で深い回答が求められる場合があります。<改善要望>
ChatGPTの「Deep Research」モードのように、時間がかかっても（例：30分程度）、Hub内の関連ファイルをより広く確認し、深い回答を生成するオプションがあると非常に助かります。
この機能により、Box AI Hubsは詳細な調査や意思決定において、さらに有用になると思います。4 votes -
Metadata Taxonomy Searches MCP Server
We use taxonomy fields in some of our metadata templates. Using Claude.ai to access our data via the Box MCP Server we are unable to search taxonomy metadata fields. Enabling this would be very helpful for our use case. Thank you.

Update Salesforce SDK Automatically using Box OpenAPI Spec
The current SDK (https://github.com/box/box-salesforce-sdk) is very outdated and not well-maintained. With Box's ability auto-gen SDKs, we would like the SDK team to evaluate adding Salesforce Apex to the list.

About the Box AI Agent in Copilot
When using the Box Admin Console, it is possible to identify which files the Box AI Agent accessed and when.
However, there is no way to determine how many prompts each user has submitted to the Box AI Agent via Copilot, nor the number of times they have done so.
Similarly, there is no method to understand, at a system-wide level, how many prompts are being submitted to the Box AI Agent overall.
Unlike general generative AI services, we understand that there is no cost incurred based on usage frequency (i.e., the number of prompts submitted).
Nevertheless, from an administrator’s perspective, it is important to understand usage frequency. By providing a way to track this information, organizations would gain value by being able to report how extensively generative AI is being utilized.
We strongly request that a mechanism be provided to monitor and understand the usage frequency of the Box AI Agent.<<<以下日本語訳>>>
CopilotのBox AI AgentについてBox管理コンソールでBox AI Agentがどのファイルへいつアクセスしたかを把握する方法はある。
が、どのユーザーがCopilotを介してBox AI Agentにどれだけプロンプトを投入したか、その回数を知る方法が無い。
同様にシステム全体としてどれだけBox AI Agentへプロンプトが投入されているかを把握する方法もない。
一般的な生成AIと異なり、使用回数(プロンプトを投入した回数)に対する費用は発生しないとの事。
だが、管理者としてはその頻度を把握しておきたく、知る方法を設置してもらうことで、生成AIがどれだけ利用されているか報告することが組織としてメリットとなる。

The upper limit on the number of file requests that can be "bulk deleted"
Due to Box's specifications, you can delete file requests all at once using the following steps.
However, if you try to delete nearly 1,000 file requests, you'll receive the error message "Failed to delete link." The following steps prevent you from deleting them.[Admin Console > Content > File Requests > Select multiple file requests > Click the trash can icon that appears]
For security reasons, we need to periodically delete large numbers of file requests to prevent unnecessary requests from being available for a long period of time.
However, currently, the only way to delete nearly 1,000 file requests is to delete them in parts.
This requires a lot of time and effort, so we'd like the limit on the number of file requests that can be deleted at once to be increased.【日本語訳】
タイトル：ファイルリクエストを一括削除できる件数を増やしてほしい内容：
Boxの仕様上、ファイルリクエストを一括削除する方法として、以下の操作手順でファイルリクエストを削除できますが
1000件近いファイルリクエストを削除すると、エラー「リンクの削除に失敗しました。」が表示されて削除できません。
【管理コンソール>コンテンツ>ファイルリクエスト>ファイルリクエストを複数選択>表示されるゴミ箱をクリック】セキュリティの観点から、不要となったファイルリクエストを長期間利用できないようにするため、定期的に大量のファイルリクエストを削除する必要があります。
現状では1000件近いファイルリクエストを分割して削除する方法しかありません。

Display of account name when approval task or Box Relay creator user is deleted

We’d like to be able to preconfigure/customize the watermark applied by access policies.
We’d like content that has a watermark applied using Box Shield classification labels to display a preconfigured custom watermark.For example, content labeled “Confidential” should display a watermark with the text “Confidential.”
Ideally, the watermark could be customized when configuring the security controls, without requiring per-item settings.Box Shieldの分類ラベルを使用して電子すかしを適用したコンテンツに対し、予めカスタマイズした電子すかしを表示して欲しいです。
たとえば、「極秘」の分類ラベルを付与したコンテンツには電子すかしで「極秘」の文字列が出るようにしたいです。
個別に設定をせずとも、セキュリティコントロールの設定時に電子すかしをカスタマイズできるのが望ましいです。9 votes -
Box for Outlook - Allow Configurable Setting that will autocovert an attachment to a link when over a certain size
Sharefile's Outlook add-in allowed for you to define a size threshold for attachments. When that threshold was reached, it would automatically upload the attachments to Sharefile and then insert the link to the file(s)
This feature made it simple to share larger documents, or multiple documents that would cause bounce-back emails for trying to send an email with too large of size. This was also much quicker than taking the time to create a new folder, upload the documents, then attach the links for those documents to the email.
I understand that this would require some other types of decisions to be made, such as where does the file get uploaded to? Perhaps there is an autogenerated folder for each user account that it sticks the files in, similar to Box Reports, Box Shuttle Reports, My Box Notes, My Canvases, etc.
You can find some of their documentation here:

Hubs permission model should be more granular
Currently in the Box Hubs Beta, all collaborators invited into a Hub receive the "Viewer" permission on files and folders linked in the Hub. This does not allow for Hub content to be view-only and block downloading of content. Alternative methods of managing this such as rolling out classification policies would not be scalable as Hubs usage grows. It would be great if Hubs collaboration could be more granular and there was an ability to invite users or groups into a Hub with other permissions such as "Previewer" so they are more restricted on what they can do after accessing content.

Convert Box Drive File to Box Link when Emailing Copy of File
We use Box to store company documents, and most people prefer to work with the Box files natively on Windows via Box Drive. The issue is when someone wants to circulate a copy of a file stored on box. The standard practice is to drag a copy of the document from Windows Explorer to an Outlook email. This results in a copy of the document, so future collaborators are not editing the Box document, but rather a copy.
This is a common feature in most established DMS products, where the user is asked if they want to upload the actual file or instead, a link to the file so that when the recipient opens the attachment, they are directed to the file on the server, not the copy of the document in the email.

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 new report by file extension
While you can check rough file types from the storage in admin insights, there are many situations in operations where you need to understand capacity and file counts at the extension level. I would like to request a report that can show file sizes by extension. I also want it to support filtering by owner.

Change default sidebar view

I would like the display position of the "Hide this folder" menu on BoxDrive to be changed.
The "Hide this folder" feature has been made possible on BoxDrive, but cases of accidental folder hiding due to misoperation have been occurring. We believe one of the reasons is that it is located among frequently used menus like "Share" and "Update folder."
We hope for an improvement in changing the display position of the "Hide this folder" menu. Alternatively, it would be great if we could have a setting option to disable the "Hide this folder" menu altogether.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
