  1. Box Sign change Current Date timezone to PT upon conversion vs. UTC timezone for signatures

    Hi,
    we use macro fields (current date) in some of our word files.
    If we want to have this signed, it can happen that the date in the document changes under box sign. The reason is that the conversion of the file happens on servers that use PT as a time zone (we have MEZ) .
    The signatures themselves receive UTC as the time zone.
    Can this be standardized and perhaps ideally adapted to the transmitter's box zone?

  3. Please remove the feature that hiding files/folders in Box Drive.

    I work at Box's help desk. Since most users aren't fully proficient with Box, hiding files/folders causes confusion.

  4. Please make it possible to choose both .msi and .exe installers for Box Drive.

    The reason is that administrator privileges are required during uninstallation, and end users cannot reinstall Box Drive when issues occur.

  5. We would like to customize and set the default values for digital watermarks.

    Currently, in the admin console, you can only choose to enable or disable the digital watermark feature, and customization has to be done by users for each file or folder.
    If we could set a predetermined digital watermark for the organization, it would be convenient as users wouldn't have to spend time on it, and administrators wouldn't need to check for compliance with the rules.
    We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows administrators to customize the default values for digital watermarks.

    〈電子すかしのデフォルト値をカスタマイズして設定したい〉

    現在、管理コンソールでは電子すかしの機能を有効にするか無効にするかの選択のみで、電子すかしのカスタマイズ機能はファイルやフォルダごとにそれぞれユーザーが設定する必要があります。
    組織として決まった電子すかしを設定できたら、ユーザーが手間をかけることなく、管理者もルールに準拠しているか確認する必要がないので便利です。
    管理者が電子すかしのデフォルト値をカスタマイズできる機能を実装してほしいです。

  6. Move recent files back

    The new UI hiding “Recent Files” is not so great. Having to hover over "Files" to see activity is clunky, please bring back a proper recent files view!

  7. File Status now showing in Windows File Explorer

    The problem shows up after installing the box app on my Windows pc. In my Windows file explorer, I cannot see the status of my files. I cannot know if the document is already available or needs to be downloaded first before use. And I cannot clear local downloaded file caches to release some space. How can I know the file status?

  8. Make Banner Icon Editable within Box Hubs

    There is a small square icon that appears in the banner at the top of Box Hubs, this is the same icon shown on the list view before entering the Hub itself. The customer would like to be able to edit this icon, and remove it. Visually, its redundant and takes up space, and they don't have a good image to input into that space, for each specific hub. They use the banner for this purpose.

  10. Restricted export of content insight reports by non-administrative users.

    There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594
    However, anyone who owns a folder called "Box Reports" can export Content Insights Reports, even if they don't have admin permissions.

    <request>
    As stated in the article, restrict non-admin users from exporting Content Insights reports.
    *Do not make an exception for the owner of the "Box Reports" folder
    We do not want users without administrative privileges to be able to export this report, as this would reduce the…

  11. Add Integration by App ID/Client ID for Shield Access Policy Integration Restriction

    When creating a Security Rule for a Shield Access Policy, when setting an Integration Restriction, you can only add the integration by name, and not by client ID or app ID. We have many apps with similar names, so using the client ID or app ID would help us restrict the correct app.

  12. Open Microsoft Office in embedded Office app by default

    If I have, say, an Excel file in my Box account, I can right-click on it, choose Open with..., then choose Excel Online, and it'll open up in the embedded version of Excel. That's wonderful! However, since I almost always want to open my Excel files that way, I'd really like an option to have that happen automatically when I open the file without right-clicking on it. This would save me a bunch of clicks over time.

    (Closely related, I'd also like to get rid of the "will open in Microsoft Excel Online in a new browser window" alert, but…

  13. DocGen ability to create fillable PDFs

    DocGen is at odds with many of our current workflows. Our users collaborate on fillable pdfs and exchange information via the activity pane/comments while filling out forms before sending for Box Sign.

    We would like to be able to collect all the initial information with Box Forms and generate via DocGen but still allow for users to update information after the form is generated.

  14. Improve visibility and speed of LFOs within Box

    I’d like to share some feedback about the lack of visibility and the slow speed of Large File Operations (LFOs) in Box, particularly when moving large folders or performing ownership changes.

    These actions cause unavoidable downtime, but there’s no clear timeframe provided, and all items under the affected folders become inaccessible until the process finishes. This is creating significant headaches for our IT operations, especially as we’re working through major corporate restructuring. We’re forced to schedule these migrations on weekends to minimize disruption and open support tickets as a safety net in case the operations extend into the workweek and…

  15. In the Enterprise settings for device protection, add the global IP address used during client connection to the device trust requirements.

    I would like to add the global IP address that the client connects to as a target in the device trust requirements of the policies that can be set in the Enterprise settings for device protection. Currently, it is possible to apply for allowed IP addresses individually on a tenant basis, but it is not feasible to respond appropriately each time. By making it possible to set this as an item in this function, it will be possible to respond quickly and control the target in a limited manner, thereby improving operational management convenience and enhancing security. Please consider this.

  16. Improvement of search within the Hub

    We would like to search for information within texts in the Hub, not only from files and folders in the Hub.
    Currently, to enable information search within the Hub, we compile all information in Box Notes and add it to the Hub. However, this results in longer access times for users. We would like to improve the issue where supplementary texts written within pages are not searchable.

  17. Folders and Files Report Filtering Settings

    Request:
    In the folders and files reports, we want to output the results filtered by the content's "Creation Date (range specified)" or "Upload Date (range specified)".

     example:
     Output a list of content that was newly uploaded (or created) within a specific time range (MM/DD to MM/DD) stored in Box

    merit:
    By carefully selecting only the minimum amount of information required to be output in a report, you can reduce the time it takes to output the report.
    In addition, since there is no need to process the output reports, work efficiency can be improved.

    要望:
    フォルダとファイルのレポートにおいて、コンテンツの「作成日(範囲指定)」や「アップロード日(範囲指定)」でフィルタした結果を出力したい。

     例:
     Box内に保存されている特定の時間範囲(〇月〇日~△月△日)に新規アップロード(もしくは、作成)されたコンテンツの一覧を出力する

    メリット:
    レポートで出力される対象の情報を必要最小限に厳選することで、レポート出力までの時間の削減になります。…

  19. Expand Column for Files and Folders Report

    Sometimes I have users who ask for a files and folder report on a particular folder. After I receive the report I have to create an additional column for a link to the file/folder. I just use the existing information in the report, replace all F with f in the Item Type Column, and concatenate function in excel to create this. Would just like this to be a native addition for the report.

    Excel function: =CONCAT("https://box.com/",[@[Item Type]],"/",[@[Item ID]])

  20. Box Relay auto-populates metadata text field with destination folder name

    It would be useful to have a feature where when a file is uploaded, the destination folder name is automatically entered into the metadata text field.

    Specifically, when uploading experimental data from an experiment called "A" to Box, if we upload a file to a folder named "A", we would like a system where "A" is automatically entered into the "Experiment content" field of the metadata.

    With this function, when searching for metadata "A", only files related to experiment A will be extracted.
    It is expected that this will lead to improved business efficiency.

    For example, if we create a…
