Print in Preview Mode when using web-based Box
It would be a game changer if Box added in the ability to print documents directly from the preview view while using the browser version of Box. It is very time consuming and labor intensive to have to open each document in their native application to print them. If we could instead print documents directly from the preview mode in the browser, it would make things much easier.

Modify shared link settings on multiple files/folders at once.
E.g., if I want to remove sharing from all of the items I found in my search results (above) then I multi-select and adjust sharing.

Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer
Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

Automatically transfer files based on the file's last modified date
Desired: A tool that, based on last modified date, (automatically) transfers files to Box before or after a certain date.
Currently: Users have to manually sort files by last modified date and select files to transfer to Box. For automatic batch transfers from personal machines or file servers, users would have to use a time-based job scheduler tool in conjunction with an FTP client.

Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
45 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App
In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.
This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

Box Drive - Prompt Users to Lock Files When Opening Files from Box Drive
For Box Drive, it would be nice to have the option to lock files when you take them offline. For example, when a you choose "Make Available Offline", Box could prompt you with "Do you want to lock these offline files?" So, you remember to lock the files while you still have online access to the them.

I have a large PST file in Outlook that’s becoming difficult to manage due to its size and also difficult to handle as well as. That’s why i would like to split them into smaller, more manageable files to improve performance and avoid any kinds of issue.
Can anyone recommend the best way to safely split a PST file without losing any data? Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:
Are any reliable third-party utilities that can help split large PST files or should I go for manual method?

Moving and Copying Files
When you are moving or copying a file, I wonder if its possible to have some of your "recent" destination folders with hot links. As it stands, if you have complexity in your file system, it defaults to the source folder. This would save a fair bit of time. Just like the 5 most recent folders you copied files to.

Add Bulk Files to a Hub
Currently, adding files to a Hub requires each file to be selected individually. Being able to drag a group of files from Box Drive would be really helpful, or some sort of a "Select All" button so that all files within a Box folder could be selected simultaneously.

Folders and Files Report - Include Subfolders
When you run the Folders and Files Report, and you filter down to run the report on a specific folder, you are unable to select the subfolders within that folder. This really limits the functionality of this report.
I request that you add the "Include Subfolders" toggle to the Folders and Files report (just as it exists in the User Activity Report)

Box Sign: bulk send the same template to multiple recipients at once (e.g. all employees have to sign annual benefits acknowledgment)
Box Sign: bulk send the same template to multiple recipients at once (e.g. all employees have to sign annual benefits acknowledgment)
56 votesWe have released the 'batch send' capability in Box Sign.
This enables senders to send signature requests in bulk by uploading a spreadsheet of contacts and specifying the document. Box Sign will then send out a unique invite to everyone listed in the spreadsheet.
The batch send feature is available on the Box Enterprise Plus plan.
This helps address high-volume business processes including:
- Internal processes like HR sending a building entry form that needs to be signed by all employees working in a facility, or annually acknowledging they they have received and read the employee handbook
- External processes like Legal having to send a notice/addendum to all customers regarding an update on contract language.
For more info, please see Using batch send templates
