Notify Owners and Co-Owner on colaborators expiry
It seems that today only the colaborators are infomed prior to colaborator expiry. From my poinbt of view it would be important, that both Owners and Co-Owners receive the expiry information too. I our setup Box system users own all level 0 shared folders, so Co-Owners would be required to receive the notifications as well.

Taxonomy Lists in Box Forms
We create many Box Forms with the same dropdown lists. In our case one is the list of the properties we own/manage.
Having the ability to duplicate forms would be very helpful, but for us it would be even more helpful to create a Taxonomy list for forms so that it would be easy to add the dropdown to a form. It would also allow the dropdowns to be consistent, accurate and easy to change on all forms at once.
Thank you.

Change the Box Tools implementation to Native Messaging Hosts
Due to changes in Chromium’s security policy, communication with localhost is no longer trusted.
At present, the only secure way to enable communication between the web and a local environment is through Native Messaging Hosts.Using Native Messaging Hosts also eliminates the need for a constantly running background process, which helps reduce potential issues and improves stability.
For example, Dropbox adopted this approach several years ago.We strongly recommend that Box also migrate Box Tools to Native Messaging Hosts.

status
When deleting a file on the server, I would like to be able to see the status until the deletion is complete.
Also, when restoring a file from the Recycle Bin, I would like to be able to see the status until the restoration is complete. （ex. progress bar,,,）1 vote -
When viewed in Safari on an iPhone, the menu overlaps with the file name.
When viewed in Safari on an iPhone in portrait mode, the menu overlaps with the file name. In landscape mode, it is displayed correctly.
I’m sorry if this has already been mentioned. I can’t read English well, and this text is translated, so the wording may not be accurate.1 vote -

Box falsely claims a file is being edited
I need to rename a file. Box doesn't allow me to. Instead, it falsely claims the file is being edited. I have no open tabs anywhere where I am editing that file. Also, I know with certainty no one else is editing it right now.
The "idea" I have is: Box should behave and let me rename files. Gosh, some other vendors allow you to rename files while you're editing them. Unheard-of, I know. But a feature. Elsewhere.

Request for Dynamic Session Timeout Control Based on SAML SessionNotOnOrAfter
We would like Box to reference the SessionNotOnOrAfter value in the SAML response and allow the session timeout to be set shorter than the tenant’s default value (and, if possible, longer as well).
Our intention is to have the IdP determine the security level based on factors such as device type and user type, and then shorten the session only when the risk is high, while allowing longer sessions when the risk is low, thereby enabling risk-based session management.

SAML SessionNotOnOrAfter によるセッションタイムアウト動的制御の要望＜本文＞
SAMLレスポンス内の SessionNotOnOrAfter を参照し、Boxのセッションタイムアウトをテナントデフォルト値より短く（可能であれば長くも）設定できるようにしていただきたいです。
IdP側でデバイス種別・ユーザー種別などから安全性を判定し、安全性が低い場合のみセッションを短く、高い場合は長くすることで、リスクベースのセッション管理を実現したい意図があります。2 votes -
Full file view and file rotation ability in Box preview
Users have reported that having the option to view the entire file in Box preview would be and be able to rotate the document within Box preview would be helpful to their user experience. Currently, users need to download the file or use Box edit for these features.

Report on Auto‑Confirmation Issue During Japanese Input When Using Bulleted Lists (BoxCanvas)
I am using BoxCanvas and would like to report an issue related to text input.
After starting a bulleted or numbered list, if I type double‑byte characters and the IME enters the pre‑conversion state, the text is automatically confirmed and I cannot input it correctly（At that time, I was using Japanese input）. This behavior has already been resolved in BoxNotes.The pace of improvements to BoxCanvas, BoxNotes, and other features has been remarkable. I appreciate the Box team’s continuous efforts and look forward to future enhancements.

Add preset date ranges such as “Previous Month” when scheduling report generation
When scheduling report generation, it would be very helpful to have an option to select “Previous Month” (from the 1st to the last day of the previous month) as a preset date range.
It would also be useful to have additional preset options such as “Previous Year,” “Specific Month,” or “Specific Year” to easily configure commonly used reporting periods.2 votes -
Add PKCE Support for OAuth2 Applications
Currently, Box requires developers to use a client secret for OAuth 2.0 apps, which in turn requires standing up and maintaining a backend service just to exchange authorization codes securely.
While this is secure, it creates a huge amount of friction for developers who want to build modern, client-side applications such as single-page apps (SPAs) or mobile apps. In many cases, the only reason a backend exists is to hold a secret, nothing else.
If Box supported PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange), developers could authenticate directly from the client without needing a backend at all, just as they can…

Improvement of the repeat timing for Box Relay schedule events
When trying to set the repeat timing for a Box Relay schedule event to monthly, currently you can only choose the 1st day or the last day every few months.
The timing of the event's start is not necessarily at the beginning or end of the month, so it is inconvenient to use.
I would like you to add a setting that repeats monthly based on the start date, like the report scheduling feature.-in Japanese-
Box Relayのスケジュールイベントを毎月に設定しようとしたとき、現在は何か月ごとの第１日目もしくは最終日しか選択できません。イベントの開始タイミングは必ずしも月初や月末ではないため使いにくいです。レポートのスケジュール設定のように、開始日を基準に毎月繰り返すような設定を追加してほしい。5 votes -
Ability for end users (non admins) to adjust metadata
As Box is evolving more into metadata driven workflows for digital asset library use cases, we need the ability for end users (non admins) to be able to adjust metadata templates specific to their use case or business unit. For example, we'd like to have a champion from Marketing be able to adjust JUST the metadata templates specific to their group, not any metadata templates related to Legal or Sales.

Shield alerting admins when users "download" from Box Drive
A customer is reporting difficulty using Box Shield’s Anomalous Download detection due to how downloads are currently defined when Box Drive is in use. Box Shield flags a “download” whenever a user expands or opens a folder in Box Drive. As a result, routine navigation actions are recorded as downloads, creating noise in the anomaly signals. The customer is asking whether anomalous download detection can be refined to trigger only on intentional file downloads (e.g., explicit download actions), rather than folder expansion or passive access via Box Drive.

ability to format number field in metadata display to show fixed number of decimal places and commas
Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.

Allow search feature on shared link folders
Allow search feature on shared link folders. Search feature should be everywhere whether they are collaborated folders or guest shared link folders.
Currently they are not available on shared link folders which makes it difficult for users to search for a specific file within a folder. (E.g. 500 image files in a folder and user has to download whole folder to search for a specific image file)

Box Hub Image Previews for External Users
Image previews in a Box Hub are not available unless logged in. We love the Box Hubs internally and would love for them to be as helpful and useful for non-users.

Box Web
Currently, when previewing a file in Box, navigating to another file often requires leaving the preview or opening a new view, which disrupts the user’s workflow. Introducing an in-browser preview experience similar to Outlook’s email preview would represent a significant usability improvement.
Specifically, this enhancement would allow users to:
Open a file in a preview pane within the same browser window.
Seamlessly navigate between files (e.g., next / previous) without closing the preview.
Preserve folder context and file list visibility while reviewing content.
Avoid losing navigation state or opening additional windows or tabs.
Beyond general document review, this functionality would…

Prefer that it's not automatically set to "comment with time stamp" for video files
When commenting on a video file, the timestamp automatically comes on. It gets in the way. Our team don't use this feature. Can it be set to off? And when we decide to use the time stamp feature, we can toggle it on.
Sometimes we just need to comment back and forth without actually using the time stamp. Thanks!
