Add Date Field to Box Forms
We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。31 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

Shield - Download and Navigate to a file directly from a Malicious Content Shield Alert
For the Malicious Content rule, it should be possible to download a malicious file directly from a Shield Alert for sandboxing without having to search for it.
Also, an admin who has Content Manager access should be able to click a button within the alert and navigate to the file in the Content Manager to manage it.

Feature Request to Hide/Show Default BoxNotes Sidebar
Content: When opening BoxNotes for the first time, the sidebar is displayed and open.
Users who are not familiar with Box operations do not know how to hide the sidebar, which narrows the screen and makes it difficult to grasp the overall structure of the note, reducing work efficiency.
We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows the tenant side to set the default sidebar to show/hide.(日本語)
件名：デフォルトのBoxNotesのサイドバーを非表示/表示にできる機能要望
内容：初めてBoxNotesを開いた場合は、サイドバーが表示されて開かれます。
Box操作に慣れていないユーザーはサイドバーを非表示にする方法がわからず、画面が狭くなるためノート全体の構造が把握しづらく作業効率が低下します。
テナント側でデフォルトのサイドバーを表示/非表示に設定できる機能実装を希望します。2 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.

on copy/move, include filepath display
When moving/copying a file, it would be very helpful to show the filepath of a potential destination folder, IN the search window.
Our folder structure includes folders with similar names, or parts of a name or phrase. Without being able to see the filepath, we're more likely to choose the wrong one. Then the only way to go back is either navigate through the folder tree (too many clicks) or start the entire process over (repeats the search).
Additionally, move/copy search brings back results for individual files which are understandably unselectable. The problem is, there are often additional folder options buried within the long list of individual files and it may seem at first that the folder isn't available. This slows our users down.

reassign tasks
The ability to reassign an approval task on a document that is assigned to me as well as be able to reassign the task as the person creating the task. Our approval flows are very dynamic and when people are OOO or busy they often need to reassign to someone else to not hold up our processes.

Remember Fields Size Preferences
Almost every document I create, I have to resize the signature box to the smallest height allowed and resize the date box and font size to much smaller. I would like a way to set user preferences for this issue.

Extending the expiration date of invitation emails
I work at a university and issue Box accounts to over 1500 new students every year.
New students have a very large number of procedures to complete upon enrollment, making it difficult for them to sign in to Box within two weeks of enrollment. As a result, many invitation emails expire.
The two-week deadline for invitation emails is too short and insufficient.
Please either set the default expiration date to around one month, or allow administrators to set the expiration date themselves.

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。1 vote -
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."

app.box.com website prompting for access without enumerating the specific apps and services it wishes to access
Currently app.box.com prompts for access to...something, without expounding on what, precisely, it wants access to.
I cannot, via policy, give blind access to things without proper enumeration of what, specifically, will be accessed.
Please adjust this to list specifically what is being requested, if not in the popup itself then via an opt-in option on the site.

Moving / Copying data - give users the option to set default sort order
When moving or copying files in the web interface, the move to location is defaulting to strange behaviour which doesn't show recent folders ...
The move / copy to dialogue should show all the folders in the user's Box area so that they can select the correct folder for the destination for the moving / copying of files.

Provide a solution to existing users to migrate their data to Box as Box Shuttle is restricted to tenant level
We are seeking an effective solution for user data migration. At present, Box Shuttle operates at the tenant level with a current subscription limit of 10TB. However, from the end user's perspective, it would be advantageous to implement data caps at the individual account level. This adjustment would enable users to migrate their personal data from various storage sources directly to Box.

Add Categories or Tags to Organize AI Agents in Box AI Studio
The ability to create AI agents in Box AI Studio is extremely useful. However, as the number of AI agents increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the right agent when using Box AI.
I would like to request a feature that allows users to better organize and find their AI agents. Possible solutions could be:
- Allowing users to assign categories to AI agents, which could also be arranged in a hierarchical structure
- Enabling the addition of multiple tags to each AI agent, along with the ability to filter or search by these tagsIn short, I hope you can provide an efficient way to categorize, tag, or otherwise manage AI agents, so that they can be easily found, especially as their number grows.

While in Outlook, the ability to drag & drop files directly into Box folders - not via the Box Web App, directly from Outlook
Insurance companies still heavily rely on working with emails. The current Box for Outlook integration is one way, ie. you can share documents out from Outlook.
Insurance companies require the ability to drag and drop files directly from Outlook into Box files without leveraging the Box Web App.1 vote
