  1. Provide the option of skipping files that have already previously been uploaded when loading a batch of files instead of creating "versions"

    When I select all the files in a directory and drop them to Box.com, I need the ability to tell the system to skip any files that are already there and only upload the ones that are new. Currently, the system repeatedly uploads identical files and keeps creating "versions" each time the directory gets updated. It doesn't have to be the default behavior, since I assume there are use cases where versioning makes sense. But it absolutely should be an option, since the default user experience is to be asked how duplicates should be handled and given the ability to…

  2. Custom color change setting on individual files

    Just a simple custom color setting on files would be excellent. The standard purple that Box uses to display the file type really clashes with our branding. We are using the embed widget and turned off the Box logo which is really helpful, but when the audio file plays it shows up purple and does not look custom at all.

  3. List View of Marked For Offline Files

    It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

  4. Notify or provide options on password protected files in Automated Classification

    When running automated classification, files containing passwords will not be checked for PII information. This means they are potentially at risk of getting shared externally. There should be options to classify them if they are password protected or it should have the option of alerting.

  5. Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.

    Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
    Thanks

  6. Workflow to delete all files in a folder on a schedule

    We have setup request folders we send to external users to upload files. Currently we need to manually review the contents of each folder and remove any uploaded files before sharing.
    We would like a modification to the delete workflow that would allow us to delete the contents of a folder. That way we can setup a scheduled workflow to remove all files in a folder at the start of each week. This way we can reuse the request links and know the contents will be deleted after a week.

  7. Ability to Hide Files from Users in Box Hubs

    It would be useful to have the option to hide certain files from users in Box Hubs. This would allow us to add files in formats like .csv or JSON for Box AI to process without cluttering the user interface. Often, data is organized in ways that are visually helpful for users but difficult for Box AI to interpret effectively. By hiding files, we could optimize the AI's ability to provide accurate answers while keeping the UI clean.

    For example, we use a complex PDF matrix to help staff identify key contacts for various tasks like reporting, data analysis,…

  8. Multiple-Use Refresh Token

    The single-use refresh token for authentication has made integrating our web app with Box far more complicated than for other file-sharing platforms. A way for approved developers to obtain a multiple-use refresh token would be of great value.

  9. Ability to configure Microsoft Teams Chat Files to exclude external user

    We would like to be able to set it so that external users are not invited to Microsoft Teams Chat Files.
    Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening in the chat settings on the Teams side.
    In addition, it is possible to invite external users on Box. 

    (In Japanese)
    Microsoft Teams Chat Filesに外部ユーザーが招待されないように設定できるようにしてほしい。
    現状ではTeamsのチャット設定で防くしかない上にBox上では外部ユーザーを招待できてしまうため。

  10. Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream

    Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

  11. Relay Lite for multiple users

    Relay Lite has a limitation that would work only for a home user. Any business organization would have a primary and backup user monitoring work items, so the ability to list multiple people on the workflow notifications and having only one complete it is essential. We can list multiple recipients in other areas of your product, and should be able to do so in Relay-Lite, rather than being restricted to a single radio button choice.

  12. Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)

    The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.

    This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.

    Example columns to choose from:
    -Name
    -Size
    -Kind (File Type)
    -Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
    -Metadata (specific template/field)
    -Created Date
    -Updated/Modified Date
    -Description
    etc.

  14. Choose upload folder for each files by Box for Outlook

    When uploading and attaching files by Box for Outlook, we can't choose some folders each files. Therefore, we can't user Box button and we had to upload by hand.
    My customer request is to choose upload folder for each files.

  15. Files that failed to upload are displayed at the top.

    On the file list screen that opens from the bottom when uploading, I want files that failed to be uploaded to be displayed at the top.
    When uploading tens or hundreds of files, it is not possible to immediately determine which files actually failed.
    You could find it by scrolling down, but the time and effort involved seems impractical.
    Like this feature to be implemented to improve convenience.

    アップロード時の下部から開くファイル一覧画面で、アップロードに失敗したファイルは一番上に表示してほしいです。
    数十~数百のファイルをアップロードする際に、実際にどのファイルが失敗したのか即時に判断ができないです。
    下にスクロールすることで探すことはできますが、時間と労力が掛かり非現実的だと感じます。
    利便性向上のために本機能の実装を希望します。

  16. HTML files should also be supported by Box AI

    Currently, HTML files are not supported by Box AI.
    As we move forward with the use of Box AI, we have a department that frequently uses HTML files, and that department requested that we use Box AI to obtain information from HTML files.
    As such, we would like you to improve this so that HTML files are also supported by Box AI.

    <HTMLファイルもBox AIのサポート対象とする>
    現在HTMLファイルはBox AIでサポートされていません。
    Box AIの利活用を進める中で、HTMLファイルを頻繁に利用する部門があり、その部門からHTML ファイルから情報を取得するために Box AI を使いたいとの要望がありました。
    そのため、HTMLファイルもBox AIのサポート対象とするよう改善してほしいです。

  17. FIX the SEARCH to search exact terms and support advanced search parameters

    There are several major issues here, search should be powerful in order to make the tool as useful as possible. It is to the point now that we are storing so much information on Box that not having a search tool that actually works is causing us serious headache and loss of productivity.

    1. Search returns results for all forms of a word, how is it helpful to be absolutely unable to narrow a search. For example, if I search for "Government" (yes, even when using quotes) I get results including government, governance, govern, etc. Thanks Box, you have now included…

  18. 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.

  20. Enable DocuSign Integration to Send Multiple Docs in one Envelope/Email

    We often have to send multiple files to the same user for signature and are looking for a way to bundle them together rather than needing to send each file individually.
