  1. Workflow to delete all files in a folder on a schedule

    We have setup request folders we send to external users to upload files. Currently we need to manually review the contents of each folder and remove any uploaded files before sharing.
    We would like a modification to the delete workflow that would allow us to delete the contents of a folder. That way we can setup a scheduled workflow to remove all files in a folder at the start of each week. This way we can reuse the request links and know the contents will be deleted after a week.

  2. Ability to 'select all' or 'multi-select' items for moving between folders

    Same as the title says: ability to 'select all' or 'multi-select' items for moving between folders. Why can't I select multiple files via a menu option, drag and drop, or any other method beside individually clicking every single item.

  3. use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)

    Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.

    Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

  4. Enhance Content Insights for Box Notes and Box Hubs to Include Detailed Access Statistics and Click Metrics

    I am requesting an enhancement to expand the current Content Insights feature for Box Notes and Box Hubs. At present, Content Insights only shows basic statistics, such as whether a file was accessed, edited, or downloaded. However, it lacks detailed insights into user interactions with specific links or images within these documents.

    As many users publish content through Box Notes and Box Hubs, having access to metrics like link clicks and image views would be invaluable. This data would help users better curate and optimize their content to meet their audience's needs.

    By adding these detailed insights, Box can provide…

  5. Shield Classifications Following Content in Drive

    In Box Drive, the classifications do not follow the content. For ITAR customers, I can copy a file from ITAR folders (with a shield policy) to another folder for non-ITAR content and share it without restrictions.

    This works in the web app, but not in Drive.

  6. Enhancing Box with ERP System Integration

    Hi everyone,

    I’ve been using Box for a while now and appreciate its collaborative features and secure storage solutions. However, I believe there’s potential for Box to evolve further by integrating more deeply with ERP systems.

    As businesses continue to adopt digital solutions, ERP systems play a critical role in managing and automating core business processes like finance, supply chain, and human resources. By enhancing Box's integration capabilities with ERP platforms, such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics, users could:

    Streamline Document Management: Automatically sync and organize documents related to invoices, contracts, and reports directly from the ERP system to…

  7. Open CSV files with Google Sheet (from Box WebApp/Preview)

    As of today, only file with .gdoc, .gslide, .gsheet, .docx, .pptx, .xlsc extensions can be "Opened With" Google workspace apps from the Box WebApp preview.

    This request is to add support for .csv files, so they can also be opened with Google Sheet.

  8. File Request Link | MS Outlook Plug-in

    Our customers are asking for the ability to generate a "File Request Link" via the outlook plug-in.

    As it stands today, the plug in is limited to only sharing folders & files.

  9. When multi-selecting folders, have the ability to invite users to the folders you selected

    Multi-selecting folders is an amazing feature. We would like to add the capability to invite people to folders users have multi-selected.

  10. Please allow us to set the default sort preference for individual folders.

    It is very frustrating, that the folders all default to descending order by file name. This should be able to be set for each folder.

  11. Require 12 characters for External Collaborator Passwords

    Currently, if 'Require Strong Passwords for External Collaborators' is selected, the external collaborator will be required to use at least 8 characters (along with additional criteria). The ask is to require 12 characters, rather than 8, for increased security.

  12. Retain "Request Viewed" timestamps on cancelled & expired Box Sign envelopes

    We are not able to easily see the View history on cancelled or expired Box Sign envelopes -- it only reads "Cancelled" rather than "Request Viewed," so it is unclear if the recipient saw the document prior to its cancellation. This would be extremely helpful for confidential documents, etc.

  14. A function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.

    When storing highly confidential information in Box, it is necessary for each end user to recognize that the folder as a whole contains confidential information.
    While BoxWeb can recognize folders that confidential information by using classification labels, the mobile app (Box for EMM) cannot.
    Since users need to be aware that the folder as a whole handles confidential information, please implement a function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.

    <モバイルアプリからフォルダレベルの分類ラベルを確認できる機能>
    Boxへ機密性の高い情報を格納するにあたり、エンドユーザーそれぞれがフォルダ全体として機密情報が格納されていることを認識する必要があると考えます。
    BoxWebからは分類ラベルを利用することで機密情報保管フォルダを認識可能ですが、モバイルアプリ(Box for EMM)からでは確認できません。
    フォルダ全体として機微情報を扱うフォルダであることをユーザーに認識づける必要があるため、モバイルアプリからフォルダレベルで分類ラベルを確認できる機能を実装してください。

  15. Airtable

    Security, sustainability, traceability and file management headaches would be significantly reduced if a file existed in one place, under a single corporate entity, with a single set of permissions and shared across integrations.

    It would be awesome if a file in Box could be published into an Airtable attachment field in an airtable record without copying it into the Airtable tenant and consuming storage.

    If a Box link were dragged into an Airtable attachment field and dropped, could Airtable interrogate the file permissions in Box to see if it is allowed? If so, present the thumbnail provided by Box as…

  20. Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads

    When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.

    However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.

    We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible

    Because User Activity Reports record items as 'Download'…
