revise signing order
It's easy to forget to assign signing order. Once sent, there's no ability to add/revise it. You'd have to start tagging all over again. Please to fix!

Box drive should only show and sync the selected folder and left the unselected online only
Box drive now allows you to hide folder. Be frankly this is useless. Because for most the IT users, we normally enabe showing hidden folder/files option in Windows explorer. So for more prefessional usage, the Box Drive should only show and sync the selected folders. The folders not selected should be left alone online.
One example, I have a box drive hosting many folders. Each folder hosting one project. The projects could be from different client. When I work with client A, I only want client A project folder to be sync and shown on my desktop. But now the other project folders are also included in the sync set. Even it is hidden but as said as long as you enable showing hiddeng folder/file option, you can still see, more importantly access those folders and files. This leads to potencial data leak.

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.

Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop
Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).
In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.
It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Ability to Select the AI Processing Region
We would like to request the ability to select the region where AI processing is performed.
Some customers in Japan — especially in regulated industries — require that AI processing be executed within the Japan region as a prerequisite for using AI features.To drive broader AI adoption among financial institutions and other highly regulated customers, this capability is essential.

Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format
For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.
However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.
Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.
The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.

Change the wording in the log in / Homepage
Could the wording on the home page be changed to read "Employee of..." instead of "Part of ...."? We share Box with external users and the wording is confusing as they are part of the company but do not work for it.

Box Seamless Login Permission Dialog Control. /Boxシームレスログイン許可ダイアログ制御
With the Box for Office co-authoring feature enabled for the entire tenant, users switch between co-authoring and individual editing depending on their use of macros or eco-solutions.
However, following the introduction of the seamless login feature, a screen requesting Box access permission appears every time a file is edited, even for users utilizing individual editing.
To prevent this display, administrators must individually disable the setting from the admin console for users who do not use co-authoring, which increases the burden on administrators.
Therefore, we would like the ability to select whether to show or hide the Box access screen associated with the introduction of the seamless login feature.[和訳]

Support IAL2/AAL2 Identity Providers as a Box Login
Box should partner with identity providers like ID.me and Login.gov, allowing for enterprises to ensure a smooth and secure login process for managed users and external collaborators alike . Users should be able to use these credentials to access Box.
This is especially important to reduce the risk of unverified external collaborators accessing sensitive enterprise content. Ideally, admins can enforce these IdP logins for external collaborators (similarly to how the current 2FA setting for external collaborators works). These two identity providers can require IAL2/AAL2 identity verification and authentication in accordance with NIST 800-63-3 standards.

Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Increase the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes
Currently, the heading hierarchy in BoxNotes can only be expanded up to levels 1 to 3.
There are many cases where BoxNotes is created with more than three headings.
It is inconvenient that the formatting cannot be consistent because the number of heading levels cannot be increased, and that the table of contents cannot reflect all headings.
Please allow the table of contents to display headings of the 4th, 5th levels and beyond when viewed.BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす
現在、BoxNotesの見出しの階層はレベル1から3までしか展開できません。
BoxNotesが3つ以上の見出しで作成される場合が多くあります。
見出しのレベル数を増やせず、書式が一貫しないことや、目次にすべての見出しが反映されないことは不便です。
閲覧時に第4、第5レベル以降の見出しも目次に表示できるようにしてください。BoxNotesの見出しの階層を増やす

Match between Box AI for Hubs answers and reference information
The reference information displayed in the responses of Box AI for Hubs is sometimes inaccurate, and the links between the response content and the reference information may differ.
Since I went to the trouble of asking a question, if the link to the file is different, I have to search for the file within Hubs, so I want the accuracy improved so that the answer content and the reference link match.-in Japanese-
Box AI for Hubsの回答で表示される参考情報の精度が低く、回答内容と参考情報のリンクが異なっていることがあります。せっかく質問したのにファイルへのリンクが異なっているとHubsの中からファイルを探さなくてはいけないので、回答内容と参考情報のリンクが合致するように精度をあげてほしい。3 votes -
Allow users to save column width settings in folder view (Box Web and Box Drive)
Description:
Currently, when viewing folders in Box (both Web and Box Drive), the default column widths for fields like "Name" and "Modified Date" are too narrow. Users must manually adjust the column widths every time they open a folder. However, these adjustments are not saved, and the view resets to the default narrow widths.
This causes inconvenience and reduces productivity, especially for users who frequently work with long file names or need to sort by date.
Feature Request:Enable users to save their preferred column widths in folder views.
Apply saved settings persistently across sessions and folders.
Optionally allow administrators to set default column widths for their organization.This feature would greatly improve usability and efficiency for many Box users.

Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App
In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.
This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

Regarding the file display when changing the BoxNotes URL from "note" to "file" BoxNotesのURLを"note"から"file"にした際のファイル表示について
After sharing a Box Note, we want to set the shared URL to "file" instead of "note" to prevent editors from unintentionally modifying the content.
However, the "file" view breaks the layout (the width becomes narrow), so currently, it cannot be used for sharing purposes.We request the ability to either select the display method after changing to "file" or to be able to expand it to full-width display.
Our company uses Box Notes as a medium for sharing TIPS company-wide, but distributing the Box Note URL as "note" results in unintentional edits.
Therefore, we request an improvement to the display state of the read-only function in Box Notes.■An example of changing "note" to "file" in the URL.
Legacy Box Note URL：
https://example.app.box.com/"notes"/00000000000The URL when the URL is changed to "file"：
https://example.app.box.com/"file"/00000000000[和訳]
BoxNoteを公開後、編集者が意図せず内容を修正しないよう、公開URLを「note」ではなく「file」にしたい。
しかし「file」表示ではレイアウトが崩れ（横幅が狭くなる）ため、現状では公開用途として使用できない。
「file」に変更した後も表示方法を選択できる状態を維持する、または全幅表示で展開できるようにしてほしい。
当社ではBox Notesを全社向けTIPS紹介の媒体として利用しているが、BoxNoteのURLを「note」のまま全社展開すると意図しない編集が発生してしまう。
そのため、BoxNoteの読み取り専用機能における表示状態を改善してほしい。■URL内の「note」を「file」に変更した際の例
従来のBoxNoteのURL：

I want to be able to change access permissions when inviting someone to a Box folder via Teams
As per the current Box specifications, when you invite someone to a Box folder via Teams, they will be granted editor permissions and cannot be changed in advance.
After inviting via Teams, it is possible to change the access permissions on the Box side, but it is very inconvenient to have to change the access permissions every time.
By making it possible to set access permissions in advance, unnecessary permissions will not be granted, reducing the risk of incidents occurring.(日本語)
件名：Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待する時、アクセス権限を変更できるようにしたい
内容：
現在のBoxの仕様として、Teams経由でBoxフォルダへ招待を行う場合、編集者として権限が付与され事前に変更する事はできません。
Teams経由で招待後、Box側でアクセス権限の変更は可能ですが、都度アクセス権限の変更をする事とても不便です。
事前に付与されるアクセス権限の設定が可能になる事により、必要のない権限を付与する事がなくなる為、インシデントが発生するリスクが減ります。14 votes -
Controlling Public Link Creation and Scope on a Per-Folder Basis
In the folder settings for the top-level folder, shared link access is set to: "Only collaborators can access this folder via shared link" + "Folder only."
While keeping this restriction on the top-level folder, we would like to be able to configure the following settings for its subfolders and the files within those subfolders:・For each folder, configure whether public links can be created for the files in that folder
・For each folder, define which users are allowed to create public links for the files in that folder (e.g., managed users allowed, external users not allowed)Reason: As part of our security measures (to prevent information leaks), we want to finely control, on a per‑folder basis, any unnecessary creation of public links.
＜フォルダ単位での公開リンク作成可否・対象範囲の制御＞
最上位フォルダのフォルダ設定で、共有リンクへのアクセス：「このフォルダに共有リンクからアクセスできるのはコラボレータのみに制限する」＋「フォルダのみ」としています。
このような最上位フォルダの制限を維持したまま、配下フォルダやそのフォルダ内ファイルについて、以下の設定が行えるようにしたいです。・フォルダ毎に、フォルダ内ファイルに対する公開リンク作成の可否を設定
・フォルダ毎に、フォルダ内ファイルに対して公開リンクを作成できるユーザー範囲を設定（例：管理対象ユーザーは可、外部ユーザーは不可）理由：セキュリティ対策（情報漏えい防止）の一環として、不用意な公開リンク作成をフォルダ単位で細かく制御したいため。

Filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated in the user detail report.
Content:
Currently, the user detail report cannot filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated,
and it is necessary to check while cross-referencing with the user list on the Users and Groups screen.
Additionally, the unmanaged user list on the Users and Groups screen can take up to 24 hours to reflect changes,
which may cause discrepancies with the information at the time of report output, reducing operational efficiency.
I request the implementation of a feature that can filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated.(日本語)
タイトル： ユーザー詳細レポートで、コラボレーションされていない管理されていないユーザーをフィルタリングする。
内容：
現在のユーザーの詳細レポートでは、コラボレーションされていない管理対象ユーザーをフィルタできず、
ユーザーとグループ画面のユーザー一覧と照らし合わせながら確認する必要があります。
また、ユーザーとグループ画面の管理対象外ユーザー一覧は反映までに最大24時間かかるため、
レポート出力時の情報と差異が発生する可能性があり、業務効率が低下します。
コラボレーションされていない管理対象外ユーザーをフィルタできる機能実装を希望します。3 votes
