Enable File Upload Notifications Programmatically
Ability to turn on File Upload Notifications when programmatically creating a File Request. https://developer.box.com/reference/resources/file-request/

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 votes -
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?

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 users with a deeper understanding of how their content is being consumed, enhancing the utility of Box Notes and Box Hubs.

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.

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 Box. This would simplify compliance and audit processes by keeping everything in one place.
Improve Collaboration Across Departments: ERP systems are often used by various departments within an organization. Integrating Box would allow seamless sharing and collaboration on critical documents, ensuring everyone has access to the latest versions.
Boost Efficiency with Automation: Implementing automated workflows between Box and ERP systems could save time on repetitive tasks, like approving purchase orders or updating financial records, leading to more efficient operations.
Enhance Security and Compliance: ERP systems handle sensitive information, and integrating with Box’s secure platform could add an extra layer of protection for sensitive business data. Plus, Box’s compliance certifications would help ensure that documents meet industry regulations.
I believe these enhancements would make Box an even more valuable tool for businesses looking to optimize their operations and maintain a competitive edge. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this idea and whether you've encountered similar needs in your organizations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not able to filter tags on images
Every time I search for a specific tag after it is created, nothing comes up. What is the point of this function if I can't search for a tag I put on a specific image?

Box Relay Outcome for applying current date upon a file upload
Currently with Box Relay and a Metadata date field you can set a date to be applied upon a file or folder upload. However, you can not select 'current date'. It will only apply a date that you have selected at the time of crafting the relay. It would be great to have an automation to set a date based on when the file was uploaded to Box.

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。11 votes -
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 a preview. Click on the link, and it provides the Box preview as it does today and download capability. If the user's Box login could authenticate download, that would be amazing.
Allowing the API to establish the link would be essential.

I want to prevent users from renaming folders.
Especially in Japan, it is very important from an auditing perspective to prevent users from changing folder names.
