Bring back "Open Containing Folder" to the top of the Box Note menu (or allow customization)
Hi Box Team,
I would like to share some feedback regarding the user interface of Box Notes.
Previously, the option to open the folder containing the current Box Note was located right at the top of the hamburger menu. This was incredibly convenient. However, with recent updates, this option has been pushed further and further down the list.
To be honest, actions like viewing comments or inserting images are rarely used in my daily workflow compared to navigating back to the source folder. Having to scroll down every single time just to open the folder has made the user experience…

Enhanced Hub Reporting
Content published to Hubs can be previewed across folders by any user who has access to the Hub, regardless of their folder-level permissions. While this is a great strength of Hubs, it also introduces security risks.
The current Hub reporting is not sufficient for Box Admins to properly manage this. Box Admins would like to regularly review the content published to Hubs in order to mitigate security risks.
If more detailed reporting were available, Admins could, for example, generate lists by Hub owner and ask each Hub owner to review and clean up their own Hubs.
Example fields:
Hub title…

Allow Box AI Home Global Agent to take the same actions as Box MCP (i.e. feature/permission parity)
Currently, Box MCP (with Claude/ChatGPT/etc) can create, rename, move folders and files in Box, and many other things. It would be good to be able to accomplish the same simply by instructing Box AI (via Box AI Home, or the Box AI Agent step in Box Automate).

Allow api.box.com in Box Connectors for HTTPS Request steps in Automate workflows
Please allow the HTTPS Request step in Box Automate to make requests to the Box API (api.box.com).
There are many things not currently supported natively by Box Automate steps which could be solved if the HTTPS Request step/outcome were allowed to consume the Box API.
For example:
- generate Box access tokens
- get file EXIF data from Box representations API
- lock files
- create shared links
- get number of files in a folder
- get file path
- create shared link passwords
- applying metadata cascade policies
- metadata extraction on a group of files (rather than…2 votes -
Implementation of Windows standard shortcut keys. Windows標準ショートカットキーの実装
Please make it possible to use standard Windows shortcut keys in Box as much as possible.
In particular, the following shortcuts do not work, which makes everyday tasks inconvenient.・F2: Rename
・Delete: Delete
・Shift+Delete: Permanently delete
・Ctrl+Shift+N: Create new folder
・Alt+↑: Go up one folder
・Alt+→ / Alt+←: Forward / Back (Please function as a history of folder navigation within the Box tab, rather than the browser's general history)By implementing standard Windows shortcut keys, users can perform file operations quickly with the keyboard, which will improve work efficiency.
Box上で、Windows標準のショートカットキーをできる限り利用できるようにしてください。

Automatic Box Canvas Creation Based on Instructions to Box AI
Currently, Box Canvas provides templates, but users still need to create the content themselves each time, which can be burdensome.
To further reduce user workload, I would like to request a feature that allows Box AI to automatically generate a Box Canvas output based on user instructions.
Box AIへの指示でBox Canvasを自動作成：
現在、Box Canvasにはテンプレートが用意されているが、ユーザー自身が毎回コンテンツを作成する必要があり、負担が大きいです。
ユーザーの負担をさらに軽減するために、ユーザーの指示に基づいてBox AIが自動的にBox Canvasを出力する機能を追加してほしい。22 votes -

A feature to export Box Relay execution history for specific time periods
We would like a feature that allows us to export the execution history of Box Relay for a specific time period.
When a system failure or issue occurs, we need to quickly check and identify the impact across all workflows at once, which is currently very difficult when managing a large number of Box Relays and workflows. Having an export feature for specific timeframes would allow us to efficiently investigate and respond during such incidents.

Annotation feature for images pasted into BoxNotes
After pasting an image into BoxNotes, I want to add text or lines on top of it.
Sometimes need to use annotations for work, but since BoxNotes doesn’t have an annotation feature, I find it inconvenient.
We would like to see this feature implemented to improve usability.BoxNotesで画像を貼り付けた後、画像の上に文字や線を入れられるようにしたいです。

Box AI does not recognize text in image-based PDFs
Thank you for releasing Box AI for free.
I am currently using Box AI with the feature enabled. It successfully recognizes text in document PDFs and image files (PNG, JPG, etc.), but it does not recognize text in image-based PDFs.
When I take a screenshot of the content in an image PDF and save it as an image file (PNG, JPG, etc.), Box AI is able to recognize the text. This suggests that the issue may be related to the file format.
If Box AI could also recognize text within image-based PDFs, it would greatly improve usability. I would appreciate…

Feature Request: Add Updated-By (Modifier) List Display and Filter in Box Search
Currently, Box's standard search UI does not provide a list of file modifiers (updated-by users) within search results, nor does it offer the ability to filter search results by a specific modifier. Users need the ability to find files based on who last updated them, but currently this is not possible unless the user already knows the exact name of the modifier. We request the addition of a faceted search feature that displays a list of modifiers found within the search results, allowing users to select and filter by a specific modifier directly from the search results page.

Expand Hubs actions for Box Automate to Enterprise and Enterprise Plus price plans

Default Search Everywhere
While I understand the need to search only in a folder, my company uses the search everywhere function way more.
Is there a way to make the search "everywhere" option the default instead of search "only in this folder"? It slows us down so much right now having to switch it to find a different folder without going back to the home page, or switching the search feature.

Enable Reliable Exports for Large amount of Content
When there’s a large amount of content, the folder and file report export gets canceled. Please make it possible to complete the export.
If exporting everything at once is difficult, splitting is fine—please allow selecting multiple folders and batching the export instructions.
大量のコンテンツがあるとフォルダとファイルレポートの出力がキャンセルされてしまいます。最後まで出力できるようにしてほしいです。
すべてを一括で出力するのが難しい場合は、分割でも構いません。複数のフォルダを選択して、出力指示をまとめて実行できるようにしてください。10 votes -
Make Folder Auto-Delete Retry Past-Due Items
Please improve Folder Automatic Actions so that folders with a deletion date in the past are also included in later auto-delete runs.
Currently, if deletion fails on the scheduled date for any reason, the folder remains undeleted afterward.
Requested change:
configured deletion date = processing date
→ configured deletion date <= processing date
This would make auto-delete more reliable even when processing is missed due to maintenance or a temporary issue.【In Japanese】

フォルダの自動削除で期限超過分も再処理されるよう改善してほしい＜本文＞
フォルダの自動削除機能について、削除予定日を過ぎたフォルダも後続の自動削除処理の対象になるよう改善を希望します。
現状は、指定日の削除処理が何らかの理由で失敗した場合、その後も削除されず残ります。
要望する変更内容：
設定された削除日 = 処理日
→ 設定された削除日 <= 処理日
これにより、メンテナンスや一時的な問題で当日の処理が実行できなかった場合でも、後続処理で削除できるようになり、自動削除の信頼性が向上します。3 votes -

Limit file naming to match Windows and iOS Requirements
Box allows special characters in file names that Windows and iOS do not. This causes an issue when we sync files between Box and our network server: Box will accept special characters when naming or renaming a file on the Box side - but when that syncs back to our servers - the file name contains bad characters that windows doesn't recognize - so the file doesn't sync.
Please limit your file naming to disallow the same special characters as Windows and iOS.

Make login box for SSO configurable
When a Box environment switches to SSO Test Mode, the login dialog box changes so that it has two buttons: "Continue" and "Not part of <org name>." This is confusing to users - they may not know IT is testing SSO, and not know what to do to access Box at that time.
If those two buttons' labels were configurable, admins could replace that text with something clearer to their users, such as "Click her to log in with Microsoft credentials" and "Click here to log in with Box username and password."

Provide watch list for anomalous downloads
I would like shield to have a watch list of people they know are going to leave the company within the next 30 days. I want to be able to tell if someone on that list starts downloading a large number of files during that 30-day window so they can immediately cut off their access.
