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.

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 -
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

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 -
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…

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.
32 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.

Allow Adobe Bridge to Show BOX Drive Folders/Files (Worked in Previous BOX Version)
With the update to BOX Drive Version 2.24.208, Adobe Bridge no longer shows BOX folders and Files when opening files in the application. In pervious BOX Drive version, Adobe Bridge showed folders/files, just like any other files – either local or in other cloud applications. HUGE inconvenience to workflow. Please reinstate this functionality.

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.

Open files in Box from "Box Files" tab in Microsoft Teams
Currently I only see a way to launch a file in Box (for editing, commenting, etc) from the content card posted in a Team Channel conversation. I can't see a way to launch a file directly from the "Box Files" tab in Teams. Even an overall "Open Folder in Box" button would help to direct the user to the correct Team/Channel folder created in Box.

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.

Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files
When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.
5 votesThis should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

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…

Run report to demonstrates permanent deletion of files
I really need the ability to run a report that demonstrates that my files have been permanently deleted.
Given requirements in the various data privacy laws across the world, our company may be required to delete data or files at any time, and provide proof of deletion. However, once something is deleted from our Box account, it sits in Trash for 30 days before being permanently purged. (And, if I understand correctly, the data may be recoverable for 14 days after that?)

Ability to trigger multiple workflows
“Lets put it like this, if you have the functionality to split workflows based on different files in 1 folder, people here would want to switch from Sharepoint to Box ?. It is currently the key reason to stay with Sharepoint as far as I’m made aware of.”
Basically, the customer wants to be able to trigger multiple workflows within one folder, but only on some files for each workflow. Currently they could achieve this through metadata, but this would not be contained to the folder.

3-Legged OAuth - Supported Multiple Redirect URI
When migrating from environment to environment (Example Dev -> QA -> Staging -> Prod. OldProd -> NewProd), supporting multiple redirect URIs would be very helpful. It would reduce the need to create multiple App in the Dev Console.
6 votesIn the Developer Console, under app configuration, it's possible to add multiple redirect URI.
See screenshot attached.
