  1. In Excel Preview - Ability to Sum up a total of a column

    Since we can already click on and highlight cells in an Excel file in Preview mode on Box, I would love the functionality of being able to highlight and get a Total (Sum) of cells that is displayed in Preview mode without having to Open or Download the file.

  2. I want to search for folders by tag prefixes.

    Could you provide an API endpoint that allows searching for folders by tag prefixes? This would streamline the process by eliminating the need to manually retrieve all folders and filter them based on tags.

  3. Box Relay Task Approval Options

    For the action Assign a Task - Approval Task, there's a section that asks "What happens when this outcome is completed?" If the task is approved, there's no option to select, it's just hard coded in to go to the next outcome. If the task is rejected, you can select options. I would like to be able to select options if the task is approved as well.

  6. "What's New?" Button in a the Box Web Application - Can we include release notes notifications there as well?

    Would it be possible to include release notes in the under the "What's New" button inside Box's Web App? Besides receiving sales notifications, it would be nice to have our users in the know about changes that might be impact them right there in the Box Web App, and not under the release notes' external page.

  7. Notification function when a conflict occurs when editing a file

    Files are locked when edited from Box Drive by users who have co-authoring enabled.
    However, it takes time for the lock to take effect, which can lead to file conflicts if another user edits the file first.

    BoxDrive and BoxEdit normally notify you when a file conflict occurs, but unfortunately users who have enabled the collaborative editing feature do not receive the notification that a conflict has occurred.

    If you want to co-edit with a user whose co-editing function is disabled, you can co-edit with Office Online if you are editing Excel or Word, but the file you want to…

  8. external disk

    Need to move Box drive synced data to external drive (USB C SSD)

    We were hoping to use Box as a replacement for sync'd Adobe Creative Cloud storage.
    We have around 850GB of data in our Adobe CC share. Large volume of data due to high res PSDs, video editing etc.

    Within our business, our internal hard drives are 500GB. We each stored our CC shares on external solid state USB C drives. We need to do the same with Box.

    Please allow moving of the synced Box data (files, cache, whatever) to an eternal drive.

  9. When changing the notification settings for a folder with permissions below viewer/uploader, an error message is displayed.

    When changing the notification settings for a folder with permissions below viewer/uploader, an error message is displayed.
    When you invite an external collaborator with viewer/uploader or lower permissions, an error message appears when the external collaborator tries to change the notification settings for the folder, causing confusion.
    We want you to not see an error every time you change your email notification settings.

    (和訳:)
    ビューア/アップローダ以下の権限でフォルダの通知設定を変更するとエラーメッセージが表示されてしまいます。
    外部コラボレータをビューア/アップローダ以下の権限で招待をした際に外部コラボレータがフォルダの通知設定を変更しようとした際にエラーが表示されてしまうため混乱を招いています。
    メール通知設定を変更するたびにエラーが表示されないようにしてほしいです。

  13. Improving "Folders and Files" Report Output

    Currently, when outputting the "Folders and Files" report, it is not possible to output folder-only information. Therefore, only folders need to be extracted from the output report. If file information is included, the number of records output will increase significantly. We would like to be able to output folder-only information. In doing so, it would be great if we could also specify the hierarchy of the folders. For example, up to the top 5 levels.

    現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートの出力時に、フォルダのみの情報を出力することができません。そのため、出力したレポートからフォルダのみを抽出する必要があります。ファイル情報が含まれると出力されるレコード数も大幅に増えてしまいます。フォルダのみの情報を出力できるようにしてほしいです。
    その際に、フォルダの階層も指定できると嬉しいです。例えば、上位5階層までなど。

  14. Needing to refresh my page after unlocking a google doc so I can move it is annoying

    My users are complaining about all the extra clicks that Box requires vs. other cloud storage solutions. For instance, after unlocking a file, I have to refresh my page before I have the option to move that file. This seems like an easy thing to fix. Auto refresh the page after an unlock so all the file options are available.

  15. Create one of "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs

    In Teams V2 integration, when you add a Box app to a team from the left menu, Apps >Box> Add to Team > Select the team you created > Set Tab, you may see "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs created.
    Please improve the functionality so that only one of the tabs is created, as users may be confused as to which tab to use.

  17. Box Sign - Checkbox should allow multiple options & multi-select

    The checkbox option should operate similarly to the radio button option, allowing the form editor to create multiple checkbox options at once. The only difference would be that the checkbox option would allow multi-select, while the radio button option offers only single-select.

  18. Avoid accidental edits! Set local OS ReadOnly flag initially on ALL Box Drive files; When User Clears local RO, auto-Lock file for editing!

    Currently a user can very easily ACCIDENTALLY change a file locally in Box Drive without locking. This can be completely avoided by this:

    EVERY file in Box Drive should initially have local OS (e.g. Windows) "Read-only" attribute set. If and when the user explicitly Clears/Unsets the Windows Read-only attribute, e.g. in Windows Explorer (or chooses "Lock File For Editing in Box Drive" from context menu), Box Drive shall AUTOMATICALLY Lock it in Box, ideally only allowing local editing within Box Drive. There could be a pop up message like "File Locked for editing in Box Drive; be sure to Unlock…

  20. Accept Box Sign Terms of Service Disclosure Once instead of every time

    Every document that we sign has us mark a check box for the Terms of Service Disclosure. It would save time if we could accept one time and it applies to every sign document thereafter.
