Enable longer retention policies (Specifically 150 yr policy option)
At USAA life Insurance we have many documents that need a longer retention policy of 150yrs and the longest you have available is 50 yrs. We have 2 million documents that we cannot apply a policy to because of this issue.

Ability to Toggle AI Autofill on Folders via API
AI Autofill can only be enabled on folders through the Box UI. Having an API endpoint to enable AI Autofill at the folder level so it can be automated during folder provisioning would save a lot of time.
In our use case, a Salesforce Flow creates a Box folder structure, applies metadata templates, and configures cascade policies. Being able to toggle AI Autofill via API would allow the entire process to run end-to-end without manual steps and avoid maintaining custom AI Extract + metadata upload automation as a workaround.

About the Behavior of the iOS Version of Box for Microsoft Teams
When attaching a file from Box to a chat in the iOS version of Microsoft Teams using “Upload file” and sending the message, I would like the sent message to display the attached file properly.
Current behavior:
When performing the above operation, the sent message does not show the attached file. The sender receives an email notification indicating that the chat recipient has accepted collaboration on the file, but the recipient receives no notification. The file simply appears under “All files” for the recipient.
Meanwhile, on Box, the file is uploaded to the Microsoft Teams Chat Files folder and is…1 vote -

Share Box Forms with co-owners
Can you enable the ability to share a Box Form with another user as a co-owner or editor?
For example, if I create a Form, and then leave the company, a co-owner could still use it or make edits.

Metadata attribute update
As the increased use of metadata becomes popular, it would be great to have updates attributes in the metadata templates automatically update in the file requests/ forms or metadata options where they are being used.
Currently, in files requests and forms the metadata templates needs to be manually updated in the designated forms, which can be hard to track.
Request: metadata updates to attributes to be dynamically updated in their embedded/ functionality locations

Internal links to documents for collaboration
We use Box Drive for a native experience for users to access documents. The downside is when collaborating on documents, most people tend to upload a copy of the document to an email and send it, which results in multiple versions of the document. On my prior document system, Outlook would allow users to upload a file that was actually a link to the stored document so people could collaborate on it. I know we could create/send a shared link, but this would result in alot of unnecessary links floating around. Could Box Drive/Outlook prompt to upload a link to…

Toggle for automatically opening documents in a new tab
Either allowing Right Click on suggested search bar results or creating a toggle where clicking a document/picture/file/etc opens it in a new tab instead of on the current tab. I am SO tired of hitting the back arrow/duplicating pages when I need to open more than one document at a time

Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin
For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
・Folders with online status
・Folders with downloaded status
・Files with downloaded statusOne of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.We feel that the fact that…

Passwordless Authentication
Authentication using security keys (passkeys/FIDO2) has been released. I think this is a very positive step forward.
Currently, the process requires entering your Box ID and password, followed by inputting a physical key. It would be great if security keys alone could enable passwordless authentication.For SMS or Authenticator app authentication,
requiring the sequence: ID input ⇒ OTP sent/entered ⇒ Box password input would also help counter dictionary-enhanced phishing (phishing aimed at understanding user password patterns, not necessarily targeting unauthorized Box logins).Additionally, using the Number Matching format for Authenticator app authentication offers higher phishing resistance and convenience compared to…

More user-controlled settings (organizational and other)
Allow users to set default sorting method. E.g., I can choose to have files always appear in alphabetical order.
Furthermore, allow users any controls they would have with a regular file explorer. I genuinely don't understand why my workplace wants me to use Box: File Explorer But Worse Somehow™
Let users control their UI. It was reality a mere decade ago and now every company tries to obscure choice beyond reason. It's frustrating. We want our controls back.2 votes -

Subject: Connecting the Box AI Agent to File Hubs
I can select all the authorized Box AI Agents on almost any File Hub on Box.
However, since Box AI Agents are often created for specific purposes, I would like them to be preset only in specific folders and File Hubs.8 votes
