  2. Prevent file duplication when using template and file replacement

    Box Sign allows the creation of templates that replace the underlying document within a signature request / template while keeping the existing field placeholders in place.
    However, using a different document than the pre-set document will result in duplicate files identical to the original document in the destination folder of the Sign document.
    This means that one unnecessary file is generated each time the template is used once.
    If a template is used 100 times, there can be as many as 100 unnecessary files!
    Of course, this will not occur if no files are replaced. However, it is common to…

  3. Log HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY Usage in Box Drive (Windows)

    On Windows, we encountered prolonged troubleshooting with Box Drive because setting the HTTPPROXY and HTTPSPROXY environment variables led to unexpected proxy usage.

    While it is widely known in the Python ecosystem that these environment variables can influence program behavior, the impact on Box Drive was not obvious and made diagnosis difficult.

    Could you consider enhancing Box Drive’s logs to output a list of the environment variables it reads (e.g., those related to proxy configuration) so that issues like this are easier to identify?

  4. Enable Bulk Import of User Activity Report Schedule Settings via CSV

    In our company, we create dedicated folders for each project to manage personal information.
    For each project folder, we export a User Activity Report related to file management and share it with the inspectors responsible for each project on site.
    Since this task needs to be performed regularly, we use the schedule feature of the report.

    Because the "Affected Folders and Files," "Invite as Viewer," and "Repeat Every" differ for each project, we have to manually configure the Schedule Report settings one by one for each case.
    Currently, with Box's reporting feature, it is not possible to batch configure these…

  6. Request to Add “Preview Only, Download Disabled” Permission in Admin Console

    Request to Add “Preview Only, Download Disabled” Permission in Admin Console

    Currently, the admin console user status settings include permissions such as “Active - View Only” and “Active - View/Upload,” but there is no granular control to allow file preview while disabling downloads. For security reasons, we request adding a new status or permission that enables “preview only with download disabled.”

  7. Unable to open the Online MS Office Excel Add-in selector window.

    When attempting to open an Excel Add-in, the Add-in pop-up window sometimes does not appear, or when loading the add-in, this error message is displayed:
    "We couldn't connect to the 'Office Store' catalog server for this add-in."

    The add-in use to load fine, until recently, and still loads ok using the offline Excel.

  8. Enhanced video player and shortcuts

    In general, it would be great if Box could make improvements to its video player. We find that the video player is lower quality than other software that our team uses, and team members frequently reach out with concerns that the video quality is low given the resolution issues with Box's video player. Our team would like to be able to have a frame-by-frame preview in Box and quickly navigate between frames using shortcut keys.

  9. Enable support for Python in Excel with Box co-authoring enabled

    We would like to use the new Python in Excel feature while collaborating on Excel files stored in Box with co-authoring enabled. Currently, this combination is not supported, which limits our ability to leverage advanced data analysis and automation in collaborative environments.

    Please consider enabling compatibility between Python in Excel and Box's co-authoring functionality. This would greatly enhance productivity and data-driven collaboration for teams using both Microsoft 365 and Box.

    Boxに保存されたExcelファイルを共同編集しながら、Excelの新機能「Python in Excel」を使いたいと考えています。
    現在、この組み合わせはサポートされておらず、高度なデータ分析や自動化を共同作業環境で活用することができません。

    Microsoft 365とBoxの両方を利用しているチームにとって、Python in ExcelとBoxの共同編集機能の互換性が実現されれば、生産性とデータ駆動型のコラボレーションが大きく向上すると思います。ぜひ対応をご検討ください。

  10. Enhance Task Management for High-Volume Users

    My team relies heavily on Box tasks, and we’ve found that the current functionality lacks robust filtering and sorting options. Beyond the basic status categories—In Progress, Completed, Approved, or Rejected—there are no meaningful ways to organize or prioritize tasks. This becomes especially challenging when managing a high volume of tasks. For example, our HR teammate regularly handles 50 to 100 active tasks at a time, and navigating them efficiently in Box can be clunky and time-consuming. It appears the task feature was not designed for this scale of use. I recommend enhancing the filtering, sorting, and organizational capabilities to better…

  11. Add Annotation and Task details to User Activity Report

    Currently the UAT does not include details about the actual text a user entered into a task or annotation (but does for comments). As the system allows those fields to be edited and/or deleted we must also now show those details so we know what was edited or deleted.

  12. I would like the "Shared Link Report" to display information about the issuer of the shared link

    Currently, the "Shared Link Report" does not output information about the issuer of a shared link, so you will need to check this in the "User Activity Report."
    It is very inconvenient to have to print out two reports each time, so we would like to request an improvement to the functionality so that information about the issuer of the shared link is also displayed in the "Shared Link Report."

  13. The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps

    When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.

    When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

  14. 'Does not contain' filter for name field in Box App

    We would like to be able to exclude content from a Box App view using a 'does not contain' operator. This would help us to narrow down content that is returned in a view.

  15. Improvement of search within the trash

    We want to search the contents of the Trash in the Search window, as before.
    In the new UI, we need to open the search panel first to specify the trash as a destination.
    This is inconvenient, and we would like it to be improved as before.

    以前と同じように、検索ウインドウでごみ箱内を検索したい。
    新UIでは、まず検索パネルを開いてごみ箱を検索先に指定する必要があります。
    これは不便なので、以前のように改善してほしい。

  16. Ability to create custom re-usable fields

    I want to create custom versions of standard fields and save them for reuse on future documents that I send.
    Custom fields help speed up the document preparation by allowing me to reuse previously created fields customized for my needs.

    Custom fields work like any other standard field. I can just place it on my document, and it retains all of the field properties I defined previously, such as font styles, validation, title, options for radiobuttons/dropdowns and others.

  17. Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites and add this folder to a Hub

    In the Box Support article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/25870093558675-Adding-Content-to-Box-Hubs, it says this checkbox reads "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites and add this folder to a Hub"

    The actual setting in Box only says "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites" leaving out the part about Box Hubs, this needs to be updated.

    This also relates to: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/48513617-unable-to-add-a-content-to-a-hub-site-due-to-folde where this setting really makes no sense as inviting collaborators really has nothing to do with attaching files and folders into a Box Hub.

  18. playback speed controls for audio or video files

    At the moment, the Box Mobile app for iPad doesn’t include playback speed controls for audio or video files, so I suggest to add this function. The web already has this function. It would enhance the audio user playback!

    I want to ensure that clients cannot forward links that I send with intellectual property. When clients/customers order my products, I want them to have a downloadable link (without having a box account) to access the document(s). I do not want to send a passcode for access (unless it is required).

    I tested out this feature with a few of my email accounts not linked to my Box account. I also tested it out with a Box user in with account access, but to an email not linked to Box.
