  2. 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。

    Thank you for your feedback! You should be able to upload from the Office apps. Otherwise, this is an iOS limitation.

  4. Previous versions on Folders as opposed to just files

    We would like to be able to see Previous versions on Folder level items as opposed to just individual files. This would help if a folder was overwritten.

  5. Enable Web App to display the SHA-1 checksum for an object

    We work with multiple large files and would like to be able to view the SHA-1 checksum that is stored in Box from the Web App in order to validate file transfer integrity as necessary.

    This is a very acute use case that isn’t in line with what we’re currently investing in for Web App. We will re-evaluate with additional customer demand.

  6. Cross-platform Box Drive with multiple accounts needed

    I realize this has been asked for in the past, but dismissed without much explanation of why it is "not planned." I'm the admin of a Box enterprise account. Co-admins in our enterprise org require user-level file access to perform their job duties. While our corporate policy does permit employees to use their Box accounts for personal data, there are numerous issues with this:

    1) I travel frequently, and need offline file access, from my computer and devices; can't do that if I have to log out and back in.
    2) Box Drive on mobile devices is not particularly useful…

  8. User Details Report: Add "number of files owned"

    In the user details report, there is an item for storage used, but
    There is no item for the number of files owned.
    Please add a field for the number of files owned.

    ユーザー詳細レポートで「所有ファイル数」を確認したい
    ユーザー詳細レポートでは、使用済みストレージの項目はありますが所有ファイル数の項目はありません。

  9. 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,…

  11. Notification when someone is editing a file

    Since we don't have an option to check-in/check-out of files, can you add a feature like Dropbox's badge which alerts a user when someone else is editing a file so we prevent any simultaneous version history/editing issues?

    We have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  12. 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.

  14. 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。

  15. Support for PDF files based on vector graphics, vectorial

    Bonjour / Hello,

    In our business, we manipulate PDF files based on vector graphics. Box Sign currently does not support these types of files. Even in the case of Box preview, it does not handle the preview very well (on Chrome, the browser tends to freeze when a zoom of 70% is applied). Would it be possible to support these fairly large files (more than A0)?

    Dans notre activité, nous manipulons des fichiers PDF basé sur des graphiques vectoriels. Box Sign actuellement ne supporte pas ce genre de fichiers. Même dans le cas de Box preview, il ne le…

  20. When are you going to bring back file aliases? Bookmarks are not the same and don't cut it.

    We need to be able to create symlink/aliases for files in multiple locations so that we aren't forced to upload a file multiple times, in several folders.

    We use Box to allow our clients to download files, and we sort those in a way that makes sense for them. We also use Box to upload all of our files in a way that makes sense for our employees to find assets. Without symlinks/aliases this is tedious to do and ridiculous to manage.
