  1. (Box Alternate domain) link from Box Drive

    Looking forward an option to setup Box Drive to generate shared links with the (Box Alternate domain) URL by default.
    We heavily work with factories in China and for them to access shared files, we need to modify URL from "box.com" to (Box Alternate domain) manually everytime when we generate links from Box Drive.
    Note: we know we can generate (Box Alternate domain) links from web platform when we login via (Box Alternate domain). We are specifically looking for a feature to setup Box Drive links to be (Box Alternate domain)

  2. I would like to change the thumbnail/preview image for videos to a specific keyframe. You can do this in most video hosting platforms.

    I would like to set custom thumbnails/preview images for videos. We should be able to set it as a specific keyframe or even a custom image. You can already do this on Youtube, Vimeo etc.

  3. Allow bulk actions to be interrupted (such as copy/move/restore/delete)

    When users copy / move / restore / delete a large number of items, we want them to be able to cancel if they notice a mistake along the way.
    Currently, when processing a large number of items in Box, we need to wait until the process is completed even if we notice a mistake.
    When processing large numbers of items, processing may require several days.
    During that time, folders and files are locked.
    Please make it possible to interrupt the process on the way.

  5. Make available an email address that consists of only numbers

    In our file request settings, the "Email address" is set as mandatory.
    Users whose email address consists of only numbers will be marked "Invalid email address" and will not be able to upload.
    In the current specification, users of companies that use email addresses consisting of only numbers cannot upload.

    Make sure that an email address consisting of only numbers is recognized as a valid email address.

    ファイルリクエストの設定にて「メールアドレス」入力を必須にしています。
    メールアドレスが数字のみで構成されているユーザーは「無効なメールアドレス」と表示され、アップロードできません。
    現在の仕様では、数字のみで構成されたメールアドレスを利用している企業のユーザーはアップロードが行えません。

    数字のみで構成されたメールアドレスが有効なメールアドレスとして認識されるようにしてください。

  8. Please add a button to switch between 'available', 'Add by Default' and 'Never show' for "the items displayed in this Box web app".

    In the near future (2021 7/15 JST) there will be an update to the user app settings in the Box web app.
    Once this update is in place, applications that are 'available' in the app settings of the management console will appear in the Box preview screen.

    While we are very happy about this, we do not want to confuse end users with this update.

    We would like to see only the applications that are set to "Add by Default" on the screen as now, and not the applications that are "Available".
    Please add a button to switch between 'available',…

  9. Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task

    When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.

    The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.

    Our use case is this:
    Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
    Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
    Finance Director and CFO approve the task.
    Internal…

  10. I want Capture to upload photos in landscape direction & be able to edit before upload

    Would like to be able to edit a photo on capture before it uploads, for example, crop, flip direction, & add text. Similar to what you can do on Microsoft teams when you send a photo thru chat.
    We should also be able to take a photo in landscape mode and have it upload in that direction. Right now if I upload a landscape photo I have to open it on Box and flip it. It's very time consuming.

  11. Enable e-mails to save to Box folders

    I need to save an e-mail to my my files that have been recently migrated to BOX but I can't because BOX is NOT an option to save something into. How do I save e-mails to BOX folders when BOX folders are not an option to save something into?

  12. Editing existing tag names

    It would be helpful to edit an existing tag name, to make it more descriptive, and have that propagate to everything already tagged. For example, I would like to change a first-round tag of "Minutes" to something more descriptive, such as "Minutes Admin Meetings." Right now, I can simply create a new tag and retag all the appropriate items with the prior. HOWEVER, every time that begin to type the name of the new tag, the old not-used one will keep appearing.

    If editing an existing name is too complicated, is there a way to delete an old unused tag…

  13. Browser to open into the Finder window

    I love the way in the Finder window you can click to view on the Box.com browser...it would be great if there was a way vice versa on the Box.com browser to open into the Finder window!

  14. Directly to presentation mode for PowerPoint files when clicking on URLS to box

    Box should be able to create a URL that will allow the users to display the power point in presentation mode without extra clicks.

    another request is when the user clicks on this link, they cannot click back and look at other files within the same folder.

  16. Make sync actually work correctly and reliably

    Box seems to have abandoned any effort to improve sync. It has the same problems that it had 5? 6? 7? years ago. It takes forever to sync. It consumes huge amounts of CPU. It gets hung up all the time. A former associate who was friends with an employee of Box once (about 5 years ago) complained to the friend about the problems with sync. The employee's response: "use sync less." That appears to be Box's strategy: they don't fix the problems with the program; rather, their advice is use the program less. That's pathetic. Fix your software.

  17. Option to have an approval that’s only visible to a specific group

    Option to have an approval that’s only visible to a specific group. Signer can see checkbox that comes with “approval” button, but as POps we do not want a signer to see that someone else has approved their document

  19. I would like a report that includes the URL for folders.

    Currently we copy an ID number from our database and go to Box. We then paste the ID number into Box to locate the file we want to work in. I have recently created a field that will hold that URL and at the click of a button, the database will copy the link, go to browser and paste in the URL - a lot of time savings in our workflow. The issue I am having it is taking a long time to collect all the URLs. I would like an admin report that would allow me to export the…

  20. Allow One-Off Reissue of Custom Terms of Service in Box

    If a user ever rejects a custom terms of service, they are not able to access Box or attempt to connect via the collaboration link. It seems that they could try again in 30 days (we have not tested, this is way too long to wait for a time-out).

    The only resolution to allow the single external collaborator to "reset" the ToS and accept them to sign in is to disable and re-enable custom ToS for all users.

    This is a major problem - we should not have to revalidate all ToS for EVERY user to resolve an issue for…
