Improve Print to PDF conversion to avoid extra pages
When sending single page .tif files to print as .pdfs, Box web app conversion scaling creates extra pages due to imperfect margins. Manually adjusting the scaling down to 70% brings the image size down to fit on a single page.
We would like to see either improved automated scaling or a way to set a default scale in the Admin Console to avoid overburdening end users having to set the scale by hand every time they need to print.

Adding metadata to files uploaded by Box Forms
When uploading files/content to Box Forms, have the ability to add the metadata attributes captured on the form to the files. And for managed users in the Box account provide the option to add metadata to all files, selected files and/or selected metadata on selected files. Similar to file uploader in Crooze.

I would like to see BoxWeb implement a function to sort files by extension.
The current BoxWeb does not allow sorting by file extension.
However, in some fields, a large number of photos and videos are often taken for measurement and development work, and many types of files are miscellaneously stored in a single folder.For example, when searching for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...) For example, if you are looking for image files (.png/.jpg/etc...), you can search for them by file name, but you may also want to check them by file extension.
We currently use a method of dividing files into categories by file type, such as blocks of image files, blocks of…

Universally apply multiple templates to a file
Universal metadata fields:
Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
A metadata template can be applied, but within…7 votes -
Share files externally Box Drive
Allow the 'People with the link' option to be available directly in Box Drive when sharing files externally, so users don't need to switch to the Box Web App.

Move recent files back
The new UI hiding “Recent Files” is not so great. Having to hover over "Files" to see activity is clunky, please bring back a proper recent files view!

Allow the ability to multi-click print
Currently in Drive (Windows only) you can print straight from Drive using the right click window pane.
What you cannot do, is multi-select and right-click print. You can do this in Windows Explore.

Box File Request - Limit number of files and/or file type for upload zones
When creating a file request for a folder, we would like to have the ability to limit the number of files able to be uploaded in an upload zone from the standard 500 uploads. It would also be ideal to limit the type of files that are able to be uploaded. For example, if we wanted a customer to upload document x in pdf format, we could use these limitations to ensure they upload in the correct format and all in one file, instead of uploading 20/30 png photos of the document we request. While we can provide guidelines on…

Get separate (mapped) shared links for a large number of files under a shared folder
I am trying to generate separate shared links for a large number of files (1000+) under a folder, and map them to their original file name, so I can share these files separately.
But we can only do that either by the whole folder (not what we want), or by selecting files one by one (too time-consuming).
We hope there will be a function when you share a folder, we can also have the option to generate separate share links for each of the files under the folder, and a corresponding mapping file is generated automatically.

preview dst files
I would very much like the ability to preview .dst files in the web version of Box. Dst files are a Tajima embroidery file. Right now we have to preview them via this website. https://ambassador.pulsemicro.com/

Provide direct links for files listed in Problem Items window to the actual files in Box Drive.
When users have a large number of Problem Items (> 10) it can be a pain to find exactly where these Problem Items are. The search function doesn't work well for these files and you can't even copy the name of these files. A direct link to them would be most convenient.
4 votesBy clicking on a Folder name the folder with the problem item will open in Finder/Explorer. This capability has been available to the Drive users.

View only share link to have a print option
When you give someone a share link to view only, it would be really useful if there was a print option as is available for normal previews.

Being able to search through files by the date the file was created (in the metadata)
A feature I've wanted many times now, and would love to see implemented, is to be able to search through my files with the filter of Date Created (regarding the creation date of the file in its metadata), not just the date of when I uploaded the file.

Support multi-file for rejected task trigger in Relay
Suppose you like to assign an approval task to a person with multiple files and when the task is rejected, you like to move the package of those “rejected” files to a different folder("Rejected folder) instead of having them sat in the triggered folder.
For a single file, you can create the following workflow containing 2 flows and it works perfect as expected, however it doesn't work for multi-files...
Flow 1: Trigger Manual start-> Outcome: Assign task -> When rejected, the flow is end
Flow 2: Trigger Task -> Outcome: when the task is rejected, move the file…43 votesWe have delivered this functionality as part of Box Automate.

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

Retention policy should be able to remove folders in addition to files.
Currently the governance retention policy only delete files. We are using the integration with Oracle NetSuite and as such we have a folder that then gets a folder setup for each Case as we are sending and/or receiving data from customers via the Case we have with them. The policy is set to get data for 30 days. The files are getting removed, however, the folders still exist. This makes it challenging when you look from the Box web interface. It would be nice to have the ability to set folders to remove if they are empty.

Function to erase gridlines in Excel files when using BoxSign
We usually hide the gridlines of Excel files.
However, when we sign an Excel file using BoxSign, the gridlines is displayed in the PDF file.
Since the display of gridlines makes it difficult to understand the display of materials and affects business, we would like you to be able to erase the gridlines of Excel files even when using BoxSign.【BoxSign利用時にExcelファイルの罫線を消す機能】
普段、Excelファイルの罫線は非表示にして利用しています。
しかし、ExcelファイルにBoxSignを用いてSignした際、PDF化されたファイルには罫線が表示されてしまいます。

Upload, copy and paste .DES files.
I can't paste in my Box Drive folder .des files that come from a software I use. I can upload them manually to the cloud in the web app, but those files won't sync either. This never happened with other cloud service software and I can't work without those files and the program won't run.
Please accept .des files so I can use Box for my work.2 votes
