Disposition Report should be able to show files that were deleted in the past
It's important for GxP compliance and ease of auditing to know what files were disposed of in the past, or during a specific period, like in the last 30 days, last 6 months, etc.
Disposition report should be able to show previous deletions, not just upcoming deletions, and admins should be able to filter by retention policy, and date.

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 -
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.

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.

Ability to assign specific metadata to a corresponding upload file zone when multiple exist on a page
As an internal user, I want to create a file request template that has multiple file upload zones where each file upload zone has unique metadata associated with the upload zone.
This enhancement would significantly improve the customer experience by utilizing a single URL instead of multiple. This enhancement would also streamline internal processes for staff by eliminating the need for staff to manually sort uploaded files.
In the current state, we are forced to create 3 separate file requests so that we can achieve the desired internal efficiencies.

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?)

Box for Microsoft Office Co-Authoring for Password Protected Files
Unfortunately, co-authoring option is not currently supported for password-protected files. Box have told me this is because the system considers the password protection as a lock.
Therefore bringing it your attention to add this feature request.Also we are finding that co-authoring takes a lot long to open files and it is not as smooth as its made out to be.

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.

Allowing the ability to ignore ownership on certain files
We are trying to store Capture One Photoshoots on Box Drive so multiple people can access them and all adjustments are saved. There is the session file, RAW image files and various files storing the processing settings, thumbnails, etc.
I can copy a shoot to Box and work on it fine but if someone else tries to work on it, Box won't let the software overwrite the settings file and makes copies of everything with the 2nd persons email address on it. This is related to ownership of the files.
It would be great if we could turn that…

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.

Create a subflow for rejected files in Box Relay
In Box Relay, when an approval task occurs and the file is rejected, there should be an option to create a subflow for the rejection. Right now, we can only set-up a task or do nothing.
We use metadata to categorize our files and trigger other relays. Right now, both unprocessed files and rejected files have no tag, because the rejected task workflow does not allow more actions to be taken on the file.
We would like to be able to create a general task for our users, tag the file, and move the rejected file to a separate folder,…

[Support preview of ".xct" files] Support preview of ".xct" files
We use DocuWorks for our business.
At this time, the Box preview supports ".xdw" and ".xbd", but unfortunately ".xct" is not yet supported.A similar request was submitted on the following BoxPulse, which was "Delivered" as of 09/2022, but only the ".xct" is still not in preview.
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-ioTherefore, we need to register Fujifilm's source files with AppleStore in order to use DocuWorks from Box for EMM.
It is very inconvenient that ".xct" cannot be previewed when using DocuWorks, so please add it to the preview support list.
弊社では業務にDocuWorksを利用しています。
現時点では、Boxのプレビューでは「.xdw」と「.xbd」に対応していますが、残念ながら「.xct」には未対応です。以下のBoxPulseで類似の要望が投稿されており、

Allow user configurable files and folder list length in list view
As we move file shares into Box, we are getting more and more users who want to see/configure a longer list(or possibly scrollable list) in the files/folder list view. Essentially, they don't want to have to click every 20 files or so to browser their way through a list of 1000 files in a folder -- they just want to see what's there.

Allow uploading of files to locked NetSuite records
NetSuite workflows or script can lock a record, typically for approval purposes. Box file behavior should follow standard NetSuite file cabinet attachment behavior, namely, attachment permission is separated from the lock record function, so that files can still be attached, deleted, or renamed in Box on locked NetSuite records.

Use Metadata Fields to Rename Files
In Relay, under the Rename outcome, I would like to be able to use fields from a metadata template as pieces to rename the file (and have (2) etc. added to the end of a file name in the case that duplicate names are generated like Windows does).
If a metadata template is part of a file request for a given folder, then I would like the option to use its fields to rename files through a workflow that is trigged when a file is uploaded. For example, when file is uploaded, rename uploaded file to "Submission by 'metadata-first-name' 'metadata-email-address'".

When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash.
When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash. Here is the behavior we noticed: a. We enable "Restrict content creation" in Enterprise Settings. b. User who is not the owner of the folder deletes files. -> The files will be shown in Trash. c. The same user deletes the folder which the files above existed in. d. The files which were deleted in process "a" are no longer shown in trash, making users unable to restore them, unless they restore the folder itself. e. However, the files…

Bulk converting files to most-recent latest version
Recently for some unknown reason, many of my files content were lost (size showed 0 bytes and could not be opened).
I had to revert those files back to most recent previous version MANUALLY, 1 BY 1 to recover my files (there were 200+ files affected). Please consider allowing bulk version revert.
Also, will be great to be able to search files with potential errors (e.g. 0 Bytes), so I don't have to manually locate them.
Thanks

Folders and Files reports - exclude filename
Provide the ability to exclude filename from "Folders and Files" reports. We would like to be able to exclude this field since it may contain sensitive data. This is currently a field that is not able to be excluded. If there is a required field we would prefer if to be File ID. This is important since we would like to be able to perform usage analysis but do not want to provide sensitive data (even metadata) to our data analysts.
