I want to create custom report for approval pending and files which was rejected on particular folders
We are working on multiple approvals on files, so want to track how many files waiting for approval or rejection and how many files got approval by whom and when it will help us to manage the monthly report.

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.

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 -
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.

number of files in a folder
It would be great if, as soon as I upload files to a folder and exit the folder, I could see the number of files I uploaded. Instead, most of the time I need to let a few minutes go by and refresh the page a few times before the number of files is displayed. In the first line of the screenshot, for example, I just uploaded 60 files, but that is not showing yet.

Prompt users that Hidden/system files will be ignored/deleted.
Unsyncing folders that have ignored items (hidden, system files) will delete the items without prompting users.
Some users had files intentionally marked as Hidden. They lost their files when they unsynced a folder that contained these files.

Multiple Uploads failed - please solve that
Every day I get a message that multiple uploads failed due to file type.
But I have to find all of these manually.
Please make a button to isolate all those files in a local folder, to stop the messages from coming, and allow the user to sort those out.1 vote -

Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view
Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view.
These files and folders would still be searchable via the search bar, but they would be hidden from All Files.
Also include the ability to review all files and folders that I've previously hidden in a separate "Hidden" tab, similar to how there is a "Recents" tab and "Notes" tab.

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.

view multiple files offline with ios and ipados
Surely the team is aware of this: when an iPad or iPhone is offline (e.g. in airplane mode), attempting to view a file (e.g. a pdf) downlooaded via "make available offline" hangs indefinitely. If the file is opened while online, and then the device becomes offline, no problem. This means that only one file can be accessed for the duration of the offline period.
Please raise the priority for fixing this.

Comments should copy over when files are copied from one folder to another
Not sure why this has changed, however, when copying files from one folder to another (inside a parent folder) it would be great if the comments would also copy over. They used to, up until mid-2021. For example, I have files I share for approval in a working project, that I copy into an ASSETS folder after approval

We want a function to divide files created with Box Notes by category (tag).
[Background]
Box Notes is harder to use than OneNote.
The reason is that it is difficult to find files from INBOX because files cannot be divided by categories (tags, folders, etc.).8 votes -
My biggest challenge is version control of files that are shared in multiple box folders.
Ideally updating master file would then update all the different box files it is housed in that may have a variety of users. I spend more time on version controls and finding the latest one than anything.

Binding existing files/folders to a virtual folder for sharing
Situation
I've been working on several projects for a client, with a main folder for each project containing the project files, organised in sub folders. My client asked me if it was possible to point him to one folder that contained the neccessary files from each project for simplified access, without having to send him multiple sharing links to each folder instead.Approach
Normally I would set up that folder on my local computer, put in all the necessary files and upload it, providing a sharing link to my client.Suggestion
What if it was possible to bypass this…2 votes -
Retrieve logs of users who uploaded files via the file request link
The file request link is extremely useful in our daily operations. It is a great feature that allows users without a Box account to upload files to Box. However, under the current specifications, if logging in to Box is not required in the settings, no information about the person who uploaded the file via the file request link is recorded in the logs. This poses a significant problem from an audit and compliance perspective.
For example, if a user enters their email address in the email field at the time of upload, it would be very helpful if that email…

Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files
Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:
1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing…

Ability to zip/unzip large files from within Box so transport to/from Box isn't a huge bandwidth or time-consuming issue.
Many folks are requesting or have requested the ability to zip/unzip large files from within Box and being able to view them from within Box so transport to/from Box isn't a huge bandwidth or time-consuming issue. Zipping large files is a must-have in these days of high-resolution images and A/V technology.
34 votesWhile we understand the value of such feature, we are currently focused on improving the upload experience to make the ingestion of media files faster.
