Adding Company Information to Users to Prevent Wrong User Invitations
When I invite a user with Box, information other than the email address is not displayed, so I think it is possible to invite another user by mistake.
In order to solve this problem, I think it is necessary to display not only the email address and name but also the company information that the user belongs to when inviting the user.
For managed users, we want to make it possible to register company affiliation information in account settings and so on, so that it can be displayed when inviting collaborators.

Restrict day of week and/or times when licensed users can authenticate into Box
Allow admins the option to restrict which days of the week and/or time of day is allowed for licensed users to authenticate into Box, individually and/or as part of a role/Box Group. This would be helpful for multiple use-cases. Restricting Box access at specific times can assist with ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws, limiting changes that can be made in Box to times when staff will be available to respond and/or address changes, and limiting access during periods where access is not expected or desired by the licensing organization helping to better secure Box content.

Scheduled reports enhancement
Add relative data filter option for reports instead of just absolute dates. For example, report can provide information for selections like, previous day, last week, last month, last quarter, last year, current month, and today. The option to specify specific dates could be listed as custom date range. This would be useful both for ad-hoc reports as well as scheduled ones. It would also be helpful if in the future, reports could be scheduled as reoccurring.

File size limits for File Request uploads
We have tried using the File Request to encourage our supply chain to upload files directly from our filing system on Box instead of using unathorised file transfer services, however it frequently fails due to file size. I note in the FAQ that the maximum file upload size is limited by that permitted by the content submitter - it would be more useful if the file upload size was based by that permitted by our account as the organisation requesting the file. As the File Request service also doesn't permit uploading of folders, this often means our content submitters have to upload a zip file which may exceed the file size permitted for their account, discouraging them from using it.

Real-Time Reporting on Usage
For any folder or user we should be able to see what their usage patterns are like without needing to run ad hoc reports. Reports are currently very slow and it's very difficult for the team to know simple information like "did X collaborator view the folder", "who has viewed folder X", "has anyone downloaded any files from X". Even reports themselves are difficult to set up because often you need to make sure to select sub-folders. I'm right now waiting over 30 minutes to answer the question, did X external collaborator view folder Y.

I would like to see 4 hours added to the session duration section.
I would like to see 4 hours added to the session duration section.
【Current Specifications】
In the current pull-down menu for session duration, there are only 8 hours after 2 hours.【background】
We feel that the current 2 hours is too short and 8 hours is too long.
We would like to increase the number of items for session duration to better meet the needs of users.(日本語)

UI enhancements for easy viewing of pdf files on iPhone & iPod
When displaying pdf files using the Box App on iPhone & iPod, after scrolling to view the top of the file, the app seems to take control over the display and auto-scrolls the file upward causing the top of the file to be outside of the screen. Is there any way to correct this? Thank you! 8-)

Industry Vertical Specific view of Integrations
Customers are interested to see what the ecosystem is like for their industry sector. Can we have views of our integrations for each of our main industry verticals? For example in M&E, our customers use 5th Kind. However, 5th Kind is not tagged for that sector.

UI alert on invite message when character limit is exceeded
It is VERY annoying to write a nice detailed note to the person you are inviting and then have it just disappear bc the character limit has been exceeded. Box should either not allow you to exceed the character limit, or at least have it refuse to send the invite but not completely delete everything you have just written!!!

Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool
Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool
In Box Drive v2.21, it is possible to enable the ability to automatically lock/unlock files when they are opened in Box Drive by modifying the registry.
However, it is difficult for end users to modify the registry, so we would like to see Box Drive include the feature to automatically lock/unlock files, or provide a configuration tool (such as a batch file for registry modification) to modify the registry.17 votes -
Enforce Box Drive naming limitations in WebApp
It would be great to be able to enforce Box Drive file naming conventions in the webapp. This would prevent users from naming files with unsupported characters or . at the end of the file name. This would limit the number of Box Drive errors.

Not inviting a user on a single file via SFC when the user is already collaborated through group
Currently, when single file collaboration (SFC) happens where an invited user is collaborated via Group, it doesn't catch the fact that the user already has an access permission

I would like to see two buttons, "Go to My Account" and "Log in", or be able to go back to the preview screen after logging in with "Go to M
Currently, when accessing a file link in an invited folder in Box without logging in to Box, [Go to My Account] is displayed in the upper right corner of the browser.
When I click "Go to My Account" and log in, the page moves to "All Files" instead of the preview screen that was open.
Previously, the "Login" button was displayed instead of "Go to My Account".
Also, the "Login" button is still displayed instead of "Go to My Account" in browsers that do not have a login cache.If you use the "Login" button to log in, you will not be taken to "All Files", but to the preview screen of the file opened by the link.
After opening a file from a link in a browser with cache and moving to the preview screen, I would like the [Login] button to appear as it does in a browser without cache.
Or, after logging in, I would like to be able to go back to the preview screen of the file opened by the link.

現在、Box内の招待されているフォルダのファイルリンクを利用し、Boxへログインを行っていない状態でアクセスを行った際、ブラウザの右上には[Go to My Account]が表示されます。[Go to My Account]をクリックしログインを行うと、開いていたプレビュー画面ではなく、[すべてのファイル]へとページが移動してしまいます。

また、現在もログインキャッシュの存在しないブラウザでは、[ログイン]ボタンが[Go to My Account]の代わりに表示されております。[ログイン]ボタンでログインを行った場合は、[すべてのファイル]へ移動することはなく、リンクで開いたファイルのプレビュー画面へと移動が行われます。
キャッシュのあるブラウザでリンクからファイルを開き、プレビュー画面へ移動した後、キャッシュのないブラウザと同様に[ログイン]ボタンを表示させてほしいです。

Always on top and transparent window
Hello. I use box notes to track and later share everything happening in an incident. So I need to type in or paste things in the note constantly... might be from a chat, whatever. So it would be very useful to have it always on top of the screen while I open and close other apps... and for Notes to not mess with my view when I only have 1 monitor, it would be very useful to be able to play with the transparency of the window. Thank you!!

Box drive hide folders
With Box Drive ALL my folders are displayed on my desktop. While I like having access to them all without having to sync them, I would like a feature which would allow me to hide the folders I am not currently using. The Box Sync environment, which only showed those folders that I was currently working in (and had synced), was a much more efficient solution.

Allow Relay workflow steps to be reordered
Allow edits to re-order Relay steps after workflow is live.
For example, if there is a multi-step (5 person) approval needed on a document, and the team/individual who is currently set up to approve a document first now needs to be moved down to 2nd approver, it would be helpful to be able to reorder the steps without having to rebuild the workflow.
Thanks!

Big Sur - File copy
Since updating to Big Sur when I drag a file from BOX drive to my desktop it MOVES the file, deleting it from BOX. In prior OS the file would be copied to my desktop, leaving the file on BOX as well. Please revert back to the previous behavior where dragging a file to the desktop makes a copy.
Also, I no longer have a BOX folder on my desktop. I found this helpful as well.

Ability to preserve metadata when overwriting a file
In order to overwrite a file, if you download it and then upload it again, metadata and other information that is set only for the file will be lost.
Please make it possible to overwrite files with metadata and other information only on Box, without downloading.
Or, please add the ability to copy metadata only.This would allow for more seamless sharing of data handled by different companies and departments.
(Japanese)
ファイルの上書きするために、ダウンロードした後再度アップロードするとメタデータなどのファイルにしか設定されていない情報が消えてしまいます。
ダウンロードしなくとも、Box上だけでメタデータ等の情報を含めてファイルを上書きできるようにしてください。
もしくは、メタデータのみコピーできる機能を追加してください。これにより、企業や部署毎に扱うデータをよりシームレスに共有することができます。

shared links need to remain the same if file is revised
We create PDFs from InDesign files, which I then right click the PDF and "Copy Shared Link" to send to our coworkers and place in a shared file. If we make changes to the InDesign file and resave the PDF with same name and address, the links should remain the same. Right now if we revise the PDF the links are broken and we have to resend new links to everyone and place in the shared files. (We used to use Egynte, and if we made changes to a PDF like this (same name, address) the links would still work - this is a tremendous time saver.)
