  2. Support for shared links in MCP

    Add a shared link resolution tool to the Box MCP server that accepts a Box shared link URL and returns the corresponding file or folder ID and metadata. Shared links are the primary way our users share content in Box, and without this capability, an agent cannot act on a shared link that a user provides directly. Users share links with colleagues as a natural part of their workflow; they should be able to share them with an AI agent the same way.

  3. 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.

  4. Leveraging AI for administrative tasks

    I’d like to leverage AI to handle administrative tasks, such as identifying users who are barely using Box and removing them if they do not need a license. Right now, I can run a report, but it would be helpful if I could ask AI to show me all low-volume users. I’d also like to be able to look at high-volume users and activity that may indicate something beyond just doing their job.

  5. Clarification needed for “Invite Collaborator” event behavior in User Activity Report ユーザーアクティビティレポートにおける「コラボレータの招待」イベント仕様の明確化について

    【Description】
    In the User Activity Report, there is an inconsistency between “Invite Collaborator” and “Accepted Invite” events.
    Specifically, the “Invite Collaborator” event is not logged in the following cases:

    When the invited user has “Automatically accept collaboration invites” enabled
    When a group is invited

    As a result, there is a significant discrepancy between the number of “Invite Collaborator” and “Accepted Invite” events, even though these actions are part of the same collaboration flow.
    Currently, this behavior is not clearly documented in the official Box support article, and it is difficult to understand the limitations of the “Invite Collaborator” event.
    【Request】…

  6. Add an option to disable/turn off hover link previews in Box Notes

    The current hover link preview UI in Box Notes is highly intrusive and significantly disrupts the writing and editing workflow.

    When moving the cursor around the document, these previews constantly flicker on and off. The biggest issue occurs when multiple hyperlinks are listed consecutively: the previews pop up and overlap with each other, completely blocking the subsequent text. Users are forced to make extra mouse movements or clicks just to dismiss them and read the text underneath.

    Since there is currently no way to turn this feature off, I would like to request the following improvements:

    A toggle switch to…

  7. Controlling the Visibility of External Collaboration Folders in Box Drive via Admin Settings

    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console.

    [Background]
    When using Box Drive, the following security risks exist:
    ・Risk of data leakage due to user error: Files or folders may be accidentally dragged and dropped into external collaboration folders.
    ・Risk of ransomware spreading to external tenants: If a user falls victim to ransomware, the encryption attack may also affect external collaboration folders belonging to other companies.

  8. Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report

    It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".

    Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
    The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.

    If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it because it…

  9. Restore Client ID Visibility for Platform Apps

    A recent update to the Box UI moved all applications into the “Platform” section of the Admin Console. With this change, the ability to search by Client ID appears to have been removed, and only the application name or Box app owner is shown in the details view.

    For larger environments like ours, this will impact efficiency. We manage thousands of custom apps, and Client ID search has been a critical method for quickly searching, reviewing and approving or denying box custom app requests.

    This request is to restore Client ID visibility within the app details view or reintroduce Client…

  10. Show in Box Drive or Reveal in Finder from Box Web

    When I am looking at file in Box on a web browser, I want a button that takes me straight to the file in Box Drive/a macOS Finder window. We can already do that in the other direction (see attached, "View on Box.com"); it would be convenient to be able to do this in both directions. I don't know what the Windows equivalent is. Thanks for your consideration.

  12. If we could toggle an Alpha Numeric sorting feature rather than the current system.

    As an institution that has thousands of photos that are already labeled by our current archive system, it would be incredibly helpful to have files be able to be sorted by an alpha-numeric approach. Such as, ST-A1, ST-A2, ST-A3, ST-A110 rather than ST-A1, ST-A110, ST-A2, ST-A3.

    I'm suggesting introducing a toggle or dropdown sorting option, as to not mess up current systems. I understand that adding a 0 in front of numbers is the suggested method, however that would not work in this case as it would change the item's ID system. It seems to me that sorting is one…

  16. Auto-Generated/System Generated Folder Creation via API

    Currently, if your enterprise settings have the 'Restrict Content Creation' setting as enabled, it also stops any root level folders appearing that are generated by Box, such as the "My Sign Requests folder"

    My understanding is that this folder's existence makes it so a user doesn't have to specify a folder for the sign request to go into. However, the lack of this folder existing makes it so that you do need to specify a folder for each request. We have many users who would prefer that all of their sign requests are present in the same folder, that leaves…

  17. Create request process to allow certain TLDs to make free accounts

    We need to share content with an external party with a .legal email domain
    However, this domain is not allowed to make a personal account
    As this is not our domain, we can't make it a managed domain

    This means we have to use a separate product or a more insecure method to share content with these users.

  18. I want a feature that hides the toolbar displayed at the bottom of the PDF or image preview screen

    When you move the mouse pointer off-screen, the toolbar disappears, but it can sometimes get in the way when explaining materials with the pointer, which is inconvenient. I would like a feature to hide the toolbar or move it.

  19. I would like to be able to adjust the width of items and reorder them on the report status screen.

    When checking the report status screen, the author's name and report type are omitted, which is inconvenient.
