1. Box Drive installation improvements

   While I am submitting this for Box Drive, I think this should apply to all .msi installers from Box. Is there a way that we can see the version info in the file Properties - > Details? I know that .msi installation makes this trickier than .exe but it is difficult to determine if the website Download link gave me the most recent version or not.

   There have been instances where the download from the website (https://www.box.com/resources/downloads#:~:text=Download%20Box%20Drive%20for%20Windows%20(64%20bit) gave me an older version than a user who had Box Drive installed with auto-updates enabled.

   If something as simple as a administrator web-page with a translation table that shows what version a revision number GUID or content created time-stamp refer to.

   Additionally, I see this idea was shot down ~5.5 years ago, so I hope it can be reconsidered:
   https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36112060-box-drive-install-to-be-shown-as-box-drive-inste

   It would make more sense if Box Drive reported as Box Drive in installed programs instead of just Box. Other installations have their full product name - Box Tools, Box for Office and it is easier to intuit what it represents.

2. Make Box Shuttle available to Business Plan Co-admins

   Please make Box Shuttle available to co-admins with Business plans. Currently it is only available to co-admins with Business Plus or higher. It is quite common for consultants to have the co-admin role rather than admin when working with clients.

3. Allow admins and folder owners to control visibility of the "Email All" button

   We would like the ability to control the visibility of the "Email All" button at both the Enterprise level and the folder level.
   Proposed behavior:
   Enterprise admins can enable or disable the "Email All" button globally via the Admin Console.
   At the folder level, co-owners and above (including owners) can toggle the visibility of the button for that specific folder.
   Why this matters:In our organization, senior executives are often added as collaborators on folders. The "Email All" button makes it easy for any collaborator to send a message to all members of a folder — including those executives — which can lead to unnecessary or inappropriate communications reaching them.
   By allowing this button to be hidden based on permission level or folder settings, admins and folder owners would have better control over internal communication flows and could prevent unwanted disruptions to executives.
   We believe this would benefit organizations that need tighter governance over collaboration features.

4. Increased file limit for Box AI for Hubs

   Currently, Box AI for Hubs is limited to 10,000 files per hub and 1,000,000 files combined across all hubs in an tenant.
   For use cases such as distributing hubs on a departmental basis, this number is low, so we would like the limit to be relaxed.

   Box AI for Hubsのファイル数制限を緩和してほしい

   現在Box AI for Hubsを利用するには、1つのHubで10,000ファイル、テナント内すべてのHubで合計1,000,000ファイルまでが上限となっています。
   部署単位でHubを配るといったユースケースでは、この数値では少ないため制限を緩和してほしい。

5. Pause upload/download on Box Drive

   PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I cannot describe how much this is important to me. I work on several projects that use many files simultaneously. Some of these files are large. Being unable to pause an upload/sync makes my workflow so incredibly slower.

   Current life: I make some edit to a large file, my entire workflow is interrupted as said large file needs to be entirely uploaded before I can retrieve literally anything else from Box. This last part is not even Box's problem, but I have a pretty decent computer and slows down significantly during large uploads, which affects the rest of my work too. Even writing this request was a little slow.

   Now, IMAGINE this wonderful little scenario: I click on the Box icon. I hit pause sync or whatever you may want to call it. I do whatever edit I want. Then, at the end of the workday, I hit resume sync.

   Now IMAGINE this even better scenario for someone like me: oops, I forgot to hit the pause button before I started working. NO PROBLEM! I can pause/cancel this particular upload as it is happening.

   PROBLEM SOLVED!

   Thank you Box team!

6. Add Date Field to Box Forms

   We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

7. Open read-only in BoxDrive

   Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
   Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

   not planned  ·  AdminAnonymous (Admin, Box) responded

   Box Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.

   Here are a few possible workarounds:

   • Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
   • Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
   • Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

8. Execute Relay against document in App view

   As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a manual start Relay workflow to a Box App view so that I can trigger a workflow against a document by clicking a button e.g. specify initial approver and then execute workflow

9. Shield - Download and Navigate to a file directly from a Malicious Content Shield Alert

   For the Malicious Content rule, it should be possible to download a malicious file directly from a Shield Alert for sandboxing without having to search for it.

   Also, an admin who has Content Manager access should be able to click a button within the alert and navigate to the file in the Content Manager to manage it.

10. Feature Request to Hide/Show Default BoxNotes Sidebar

    Content: When opening BoxNotes for the first time, the sidebar is displayed and open.
    　　　　Users who are not familiar with Box operations do not know how to hide the sidebar, which narrows the screen and makes it difficult to grasp the overall structure of the note, reducing work efficiency.
    　　　　We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows the tenant side to set the default sidebar to show/hide.

    (日本語)
    件名：デフォルトのBoxNotesのサイドバーを非表示/表示にできる機能要望
    内容：初めてBoxNotesを開いた場合は、サイドバーが表示されて開かれます。
    　　　Box操作に慣れていないユーザーはサイドバーを非表示にする方法がわからず、画面が狭くなるためノート全体の構造が把握しづらく作業効率が低下します。
    　　　テナント側でデフォルトのサイドバーを表示/非表示に設定できる機能実装を希望します。

11. Box For Outlook - Auto-convert Plain Text emails to HTML

12. Allow users to save column width settings in folder view (Box Web and Box Drive)

    Description:
    Currently, when viewing folders in Box (both Web and Box Drive), the default column widths for fields like "Name" and "Modified Date" are too narrow. Users must manually adjust the column widths every time they open a folder. However, these adjustments are not saved, and the view resets to the default narrow widths.
    This causes inconvenience and reduces productivity, especially for users who frequently work with long file names or need to sort by date.
    Feature Request:

    Enable users to save their preferred column widths in folder views.
    Apply saved settings persistently across sessions and folders.
    Optionally allow administrators to set default column widths for their organization.

    This feature would greatly improve usability and efficiency for many Box users.

15. Extending the expiration date of invitation emails

    I work at a university and issue Box accounts to over 1500 new students every year.

    New students have a very large number of procedures to complete upon enrollment, making it difficult for them to sign in to Box within two weeks of enrollment. As a result, many invitation emails expire.

    The two-week deadline for invitation emails is too short and insufficient.

    Please either set the default expiration date to around one month, or allow administrators to set the expiration date themselves.

16. app.box.com website prompting for access without enumerating the specific apps and services it wishes to access

    Currently app.box.com prompts for access to...something, without expounding on what, precisely, it wants access to.

    I cannot, via policy, give blind access to things without proper enumeration of what, specifically, will be accessed.

    Please adjust this to list specifically what is being requested, if not in the popup itself then via an opt-in option on the site.

    When moving or copying files in the web interface, the move to location is defaulting to strange behaviour which doesn't show recent folders ...

18. Provide a solution to existing users to migrate their data to Box as Box Shuttle is restricted to tenant level

    We are seeking an effective solution for user data migration. At present, Box Shuttle operates at the tenant level with a current subscription limit of 10TB. However, from the end user's perspective, it would be advantageous to implement data caps at the individual account level. This adjustment would enable users to migrate their personal data from various storage sources directly to Box.

19. 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 with platforms like Microsoft Entra, Google Identity, and Okta.

    This would dramatically reduce time to market, lower costs for developers, and make Box much easier to integrate into modern front-end-first workflows.

    Example Scenario

    A developer wants to build a React-based file manager using Box APIs.
    Under the current model, they must:

    1. Deploy a backend to safely store the client secret.
    2. Manage hosting, scaling, and security for that backend.
    3. Build and maintain the OAuth exchange logic.

    With PKCE, none of that is necessary. The developer could securely authenticate directly from the browser, accelerating development and reducing costs.

20. Add Categories or Tags to Organize AI Agents in Box AI Studio

    The ability to create AI agents in Box AI Studio is extremely useful. However, as the number of AI agents increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the right agent when using Box AI.

    I would like to request a feature that allows users to better organize and find their AI agents. Possible solutions could be:
    - Allowing users to assign categories to AI agents, which could also be arranged in a hierarchical structure
    - Enabling the addition of multiple tags to each AI agent, along with the ability to filter or search by these tags

    In short, I hope you can provide an efficient way to categorize, tag, or otherwise manage AI agents, so that they can be easily found, especially as their number grows.
