Custom collaboration expiration periods for individual folder collaborators
Currently, the only options for collaboration expiration on a folder is set at an enterprise level.
The request is multipart, for the options to
1) Set a custom collaboration expiration period at the folder level only (regardless of what the enterprise setting is)
2) Set different expiration periods (e.g. 30 days vs 60 days) for different collaborators or groups within the folder64 votes -

Groups visibility for end users
Allow users to see which groups they are a part of and who is in them. Potential workaround provided here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-How-To-Forum/Box-Groups-Visibility-for-Users/m-p/26075/highlight/true#M2052
If some businesses want this restricted, this could be an Enterprise checkbox feature?

Add a search bar to Groups menu when creating new user
When creating a new user in the Admin Console, it is possible to search for specific folders to add this user to as a collaborator. Unfortunately, there is not a search function for adding users to groups from this New User page, and when these group names are rather long and the full name of the group is not able to be seen in the menu, and when an organization has a large number of groups, it can be difficult to determine which group to add the user to.
Can there be a search bar added for the …

Augment existing collaborator permissions in inherited subfolders
Scenario:
Folder A is shared with User X with Viewer permission
Folder B is a subfolder of Folder A, on which User X requires Editor permissionAccording to support, the only way to accomplish this in the web UI is to first remove User X as a collaborator on Folder A, add them as an Editor on Folder B, and then re-add them as a Viewer on Folder A
This is clunky, annoying, and results in a lot of extra notifications.
Clearly this is supported by the underlying file system because you can do it directly with the Box CLI:

More detailed error handling with sync errors
We have a user who is on Box Drive that has had several sync errors come up on his Box Drive client over the last week, but when he clicks on the info icon next to the s"9 items with sync errors message" it just gives them a generic error message with no details about which files can't be synced or how long they haven't been synced. I don't know if there's an existing solution for this, but thought I'd mention it here.

Function to disable the display of the login authentication screen for Box for Microsoft Office co-editing features on a per-user basis.
The following is a request regarding the seamless login feature.
https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355To avoid displaying the login authentication screen, we understand that enabling the co-editing feature for only certain users in the tenant settings will resolve the issue.
However, if the number of users enabling or disabling the co-editing feature increases, managing user and group additions or removals through tenant settings each time becomes extremely cumbersome and impractical.
Implementing this feature enables end users to handle issues immediately on their own, reducing the burden on administrators.下記シームレスログイン機能に関する要望です。
https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355ログイン認証画面を表示させないためには、テナント設定で一部のユーザーにのみ共同編集機能を有効にすれば回避できると認識しています。
但し、共同編集機能を有効/無効にするユーザーが増えたりした場合に都度テナント設定からの制限ではユーザーやグループの出し入れ等の操作が非常に手間となり現実的ではありません。
本機能を実装することでエンドユーザー自身で即時に対応できるようになり管理者の負担を減らすことができます。20 votes -
Visually denote already shared folders as in Shared Folders interface for Group Admins.
When adding folders to groups in new interface, a list of all folders is shown including folders that have already been added. This is confusing and can cause additional workflow, having to go back and forth to see what has and hasn't been added.
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the experience to manage users before we add enhancements to the group management process.

Additional Device Trust granularity
We would like to do an ownership check (domain or cert presence) for certain groups of users but not ALL users. We would like variability by user/group: e.g. users to touch tax documents must work on company-owned device, while most employees must have non-ownership checks (like disk encryption).
6 votesThis capability has been released. Feel free to reach out to us if you need further details on enablement.

Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships
Allow for a Point in Time recovery.
We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.
6 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Password Protected Folders
Would love to be able to password protect certain folders within an unprotected folder. Since permissions "waterfall", I am unable to have a private folder within a public one. After reading the forums, this would be a very useful and widely used feature for businesses who want to limit access to folders to certain groups.

【Box Relay】About approval rejection
Relayにて承認依頼を拒否した場合、理由を記載できるようコメント欄を追加してほしい
現状、理由を記載する箇所がないため別途コメントのメンションやメールにて連絡する必要があり二度手間となっているためIf Relay rejects an approval request, please add a comment field to write the reason.
Currently, there is no place to write the reason, so you have to contact us via a separate comment mention or email, which is a hassle.4 votes -
Send Relay notification to internal distribution list
In relay, we want to send a notification to a distribution list (internal), but right now you can only send to managed users or external users that have been previously invited to a folder. We have a use case where we want to trigger a notification to an entire group, they have access to the folder, but we don’t want to rely on individual notifications for this, we want them to get a forced notification. They are in a group, but groups in box aren’t mail enabled.
So either the ability to send to a distribution list……

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.

New type of user - Managed External User
Box users need a way to: authenticate and manage external users + invite them to collaborate in a more efficient manner, similar to how it is done with managed users via groups.

Re-usable recipient groups on Templates
It would be great to have a Template feature in Box Sign where we can set groups of people as signatories.
Now we can only upload a document and save it as a template to send out multiple times to different recipients for signature.
However a lot of industries (e.g. movie/filmmaking) would rather send same type of documents (e.g. petty cash form / contract / purchase order / time sheets / etc.) to the same group of people for signing.
For that purpose it would be way easier to upload the specific files, click a template and the previously…2 votes -

"Favorites" option for applying signers to a document
If 90% of the sign documents you generate need to be signed by a unique person, but then by two internal people, it would be nice if you could select from a "favorites" list.
So, each sign document has a unique underlying document, but the signers are, for the most part, always the same. Rather than entering "tom smith, mary jones, john white" for each document, you could just select "AR Group" from a favorites list.5 votes -
Pause and Resume Uploads or downloads to or from Box
The ability to Pause Downloads + Uploads so that Resource intensive tasks on other software can be carried out on a single computer/device without being slowed down by Box Transferring large amounts of data to/from the device to cloud. The ability to resume Downloads + Uploads after resource intensive tasks are completed.
Not everyone/every company has the budget to have expensive "workhorse" computers or Gigabit internet (not to mention a lot of places dont even have gigabit internet. (Im lucky enough to have access to both where I work and I STILL run into issues from time to time)

Wrap or hover long owner's name to display whole name
Longer file or Owner names do not display the whole name in the UI
For example Users&Groups > Groups > "Group name" > Edit users.
If owners name like BoxTestAccount(Bostestacconut+new@box.com),
It shows BoxTestAccount(Boxtestaccount@box...
if similar name exists, the user cannot distinct the name.4 votes
