Align page numbering between Box browser preview and desktop app for PPT files
When previewing the same PPTX file in a browser versus opening it in the desktop app, the page numbering differs. The browser preview counts the cover page as page 1, while the desktop app does not count the cover page (the page after the cover becomes page 1).
PowerPoint itself has a setting to exclude the cover page from the page count, but Box's preview feature does not support this setting, causing a one-page offset between the two views.
This creates confusion in practice — for example, a reviewer referencing "page 35" based on the browser preview may find it labeled "page 34" when a colleague opens the same file on desktop. This kind of mismatch causes miscommunication when teams and clients discuss specific pages of a document.
We've confirmed that PowerPoint Web (Office Online) already respects this setting and matches the desktop app's numbering. We'd like Box's preview feature to be updated the same way, so that page numbers stay consistent across browser preview, desktop, and PowerPoint Web.

Tansfer Form Ownership
I would like the ability to transfer forms to other users. Reasons below:
If employees are going on extended leave or parental leave and someone else is in charge of managing these forms.
If initial set up is completed by an admin but then continually managed by another team.
I am told form ownership transferring will be available only on deletion of a user account in a future release but would like it to not be reliant on the deletion of a user.

Support Custom Domain Authentication for Box Sign (DKIM / DMARC Alignment)
Problem:
Currently, Box Sign notification emails are sent strictly using noreply@box.com. Because Box Sign does not support custom DKIM or return-path alignment for customer domains, recipient mail servers (especially enterprise security gateways for local enterprisess which doesn't uses world wide system such as ms outlook, gmail server system) frequently flag or block these emails as spam/phishing due to strict DMARC policies.Requested Feature:
Please support Custom Domain Authentication (such as providing SendGrid Automated Security CNAME records) for Box Sign, allowing customers to align DKIM/SPF/DMARC with their own corporate domain (e.g., @company.com).Impact:
This is critical for enterprise customers who rely on Box Sign for external B2B contracts without missing important signature request notifications.Problem:

Automatic Translation of Metadata Template Fields
When companies with international operations use Box, changing the language of Box itself does not translate the fields in metadata templates. Therefore, if there are users who speak multiple languages within the same tenant, it is necessary to prepare separate metadata templates for each language. However, since only up to 500 templates can be created, it is difficult to prepare one for each language. Please implement automatic translation for a single metadata template so that users of other languages can also use the same metadata template.
-in Japanese-
海外展開している企業でBoxを利用する場合、Box自体の言語を変更してもメタデータテンプレートの項目は翻訳されません。そのため、同一のテナントで複数言語ユーザーが存在する場合、言語ごとにメタデータテンプレートを用意する必要がありますが、500個までしか作れないため、言語ごとに用意することが難しいです。一つのメタデータテンプレートを自動翻訳し、他言語のユーザーも同一のメタデータテンプレートが利用できるようにしてください。1 vote -
Keep Canvas user names in sync with the latest display name
When a user changes their Box display name, the updated name should also appear in Box Canvas.
Currently, Canvas may retain the name shown when the user first collaborated. This can cause confusion and make it difficult to identify the correct person, especially after role changes, transfers, or legal name changes.
(Japanese)
ユーザーがBoxの表示名を変更した場合、その最新の名前がBox Canvas上にも反映されるようにしてほしいです。現在、Canvas上では、ユーザーが初めてコラボレーションした時点の表示名が保持され、その後Box上で名前を変更しても古い名前が表示され続ける場合があります。そのため、誰のアカウントなのか分かりにくくなり、役職変更・異動・改姓などの際に混乱が生じます。

Automatic Translation of Metadata Based on Language
When companies expanding overseas use Box, if metadata contains text in a specific country’s language, they must search using that same language. While Box’s UI allows users to change the language, and standard searches can find files in other languages using AI Home, metadata is not supported by AI Home’s search functionality, making multilingual searches impossible. We would like to see automatic translation of metadata or support for multilingual searches using AI Home.
-in Japanese-
海外展開している企業でBoxを利用する場合、メタデータで一意の国の言語が使われているときは、同じ言語で検索する必要があります。BoxのUIは言語変更が可能で、通常の検索についてもAI Homeを利用することで別言語のファイル検索が可能ですが、メタデータについてはAI Homeの検索に対応しておらず、多言語での検索ができません。メタデータの自動翻訳、もしくはAI Homeを用いた多言語検索対応ができるようにしてほしいです。1 vote -
box edit
Detect whether Box Edit is running before prompting users to reinstall Box Tools
Summary
When Box Edit fails to launch automatically after Windows starts, Box repeatedly prompts users to install or update Box Tools, even when the latest version is already installed.
This creates an unnecessary installation loop because the actual problem is that Box Edit is not running, not that Box Tools is missing or outdated.
Steps to Reproduce
Box Tools is installed and up to date.
Box Edit is registered to start automatically with Windows.
Box Edit fails to launch during Windows startup, so BoxEdit.exe is not running.
Open a file from the Box web interface.
The browser repeatedly asks the user to install or update Box Tools.
Actual Result
Even after reinstalling the latest version of Box Tools, the browser continues to display the same installation prompt.
If Box Edit is launched manually, the browser immediately detects it and file editing works normally.
Expected Result
Before prompting the user to reinstall Box Tools, Box should first check whether:
Box Tools is installed.
BoxEdit.exe is currently running.
If Box Tools is installed but Box Edit is not running, display a message such as:
"Box Edit is installed but is not currently running. Please launch Box Edit and try again."
Benefits
Prevents unnecessary reinstallation loops.
Helps users identify the real cause immediately.
Reduces support requests.
Improves the overall user experience.

Add Company Branding to email notifications +
The notification actions in Automate/Workflow are great, but I think there are a few opportunities to improve them:
Allow company branding, such as logos and colours, to be included in notification emails.
Option to include a direct link to the file that triggered the notification.
Potentially allow notifications to be sent from a company email address through a Microsoft integration or similar connection.
Branded notifications would increase engagement and make them feel more like part of our internal communications rather than system-generated messages.

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
Hub owner
Published content name
Folder
Parent folder
…etc.Hubに掲載されたコンテンツは、Hubへのアクセス権があるユーザーはフォルダの権限に関わらず横断的にプレビューできてしまいます。
これはHubのいい点でもありますが、セキュリティリスクでもあります。
現在のHubレポートではBox管理者が管理するためには不十分です。
Box管理者は定期的にHubに掲載されているコンテンツの確認をして、それが適切かを判断し、セキュリティリスクを軽減したいです。

Workflow Management Report
The new Automate features are much more powerful than the previous Relay, and I’m excited to start using them going forward. After enabling Automate, I expect many users will create workflows, so the number of workflows in a tenant will increase significantly.
Currently, I can visually check the workflows created in a tenant from the admin console, but as the number of workflows grows, it becomes difficult to review them all and properly manage them.
It would be very helpful to have a way to export or list all workflows that exist in a tenant.
Example fields:
Workflow name
Creator
Creation date
Last updated date
Last run date
Total number of runs in the past
…etc.
Automate機能を有効化後、ユーザーが自身でたくさんワークフローを作成すると想定されます。そのため、テナントの中でワークフロー数が増加する見込みです。
しかし、現在は管理コンソール上のUIで目視確認するしかなく、ワークフロー数が増加すると管理が困難になっています。
テナント上にあるワークフローを以下のような項目で出力できるとより便利です。項目例：ワークフロー名/作成者/作成日/更新日/直近利用日/過去実施回数…など

Don't cancel Box Sync!
I have used Box Sync for many years, and it does exactly what I need it to do, which includes syncing all the files that I keep there and allowing them to download to my computers. Other key features are:
on my MAC, I can search the files on the entire Mac INCLUDING the Box Sync files
I want to have ALL the Box Sync files downloaded on both my computers.
Apparently neither of these is possible with Box Drive, which will make it useless for me (and certainly not better, as all the emails claim).
KEEP BOX SYNC!

Support bulk update of collaborators
Oftentimes Box file/folder owners have to remove many collaborators from Box files/folders. This is not supported in the UI. The work-around (Box CLI) is blocked from some Box instances.
Provide a way to search/select/update (change role) or remove multiple collaborators.

Meaningful error message when attempting to add >500 collaborators to Box files
When adding >500 collaborators to Box files, the following error message is displayed:
“Something went wrong with your request. Please try to invite collaborators again"
This error message is meaningless and incorrect since trying the same operator in the future results in the same error message. Please provide a more meaningful error message.
