Adding direct links dialog to the shared links dialog popup
There really needs to be a way that the direct links dialog could be moved to the Shared Links dialog box so that you don't have to have multiple click to just to get a direct link to an image file. At the current time, it's a lengthy process to create direct image links. See the attached files and please fix this!

Custom Poster Frame for Video Thumbnails
When a video is uploaded to Box the preview thumbnail is automatically pulled from a frame 10% into the video. For media and entertainment clients this can be a challenge because that frame is often an unflattering still of a talent mid-speech or in an awkward pose. That's the first thing clients see when they log in to review a file.
Platforms like YouTube and Vimeo have a great implementation of this where you can pick a specific frame or upload a custom image as the thumbnail. It would be wonderful to see something similar in Box.

Box Drive installation improvements
While I am submitting this for Box Drive, I think this should apply to all .msi installers from Box. Is there a way that we can see the version info in the file Properties - > Details? I know that .msi installation makes this trickier than .exe but it is difficult to determine if the website Download link gave me the most recent version or not.
There have been instances where the download from the website (https://www.box.com/resources/downloads#:~:text=Download%20Box%20Drive%20for%20Windows%20(64%20bit) gave me an older version than a user who had Box Drive installed with auto-updates enabled.

Make Box Shuttle available to Business Plan Co-admins
Please make Box Shuttle available to co-admins with Business plans. Currently it is only available to co-admins with Business Plus or higher. It is quite common for consultants to have the co-admin role rather than admin when working with clients.

Allow admins and folder owners to control visibility of the "Email All" button
We would like the ability to control the visibility of the "Email All" button at both the Enterprise level and the folder level.
Proposed behavior:
Enterprise admins can enable or disable the "Email All" button globally via the Admin Console.
At the folder level, co-owners and above (including owners) can toggle the visibility of the button for that specific folder.
Why this matters:In our organization, senior executives are often added as collaborators on folders. The "Email All" button makes it easy for any collaborator to send a message to all members of a folder — including those executives — which…1 vote -
Add Date Field to Box Forms
We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。31 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

Shield - Download and Navigate to a file directly from a Malicious Content Shield Alert
For the Malicious Content rule, it should be possible to download a malicious file directly from a Shield Alert for sandboxing without having to search for it.
Also, an admin who has Content Manager access should be able to click a button within the alert and navigate to the file in the Content Manager to manage it.

Feature Request to Hide/Show Default BoxNotes Sidebar
Content: When opening BoxNotes for the first time, the sidebar is displayed and open.
Users who are not familiar with Box operations do not know how to hide the sidebar, which narrows the screen and makes it difficult to grasp the overall structure of the note, reducing work efficiency.
We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows the tenant side to set the default sidebar to show/hide.(日本語)
件名：デフォルトのBoxNotesのサイドバーを非表示/表示にできる機能要望
内容：初めてBoxNotesを開いた場合は、サイドバーが表示されて開かれます。
Box操作に慣れていないユーザーはサイドバーを非表示にする方法がわからず、画面が狭くなるためノート全体の構造が把握しづらく作業効率が低下します。
テナント側でデフォルトのサイドバーを表示/非表示に設定できる機能実装を希望します。2 votes -
Box For Outlook - Auto-convert Plain Text emails to HTML

Remember Fields Size Preferences
Almost every document I create, I have to resize the signature box to the smallest height allowed and resize the date box and font size to much smaller. I would like a way to set user preferences for this issue.

Extending the expiration date of invitation emails
I work at a university and issue Box accounts to over 1500 new students every year.
New students have a very large number of procedures to complete upon enrollment, making it difficult for them to sign in to Box within two weeks of enrollment. As a result, many invitation emails expire.
The two-week deadline for invitation emails is too short and insufficient.
Please either set the default expiration date to around one month, or allow administrators to set the expiration date themselves.

app.box.com website prompting for access without enumerating the specific apps and services it wishes to access
Currently app.box.com prompts for access to...something, without expounding on what, precisely, it wants access to.
I cannot, via policy, give blind access to things without proper enumeration of what, specifically, will be accessed.
Please adjust this to list specifically what is being requested, if not in the popup itself then via an opt-in option on the site.

Moving / Copying data - give users the option to set default sort order
When moving or copying files in the web interface, the move to location is defaulting to strange behaviour which doesn't show recent folders ...
The move / copy to dialogue should show all the folders in the user's Box area so that they can select the correct folder for the destination for the moving / copying of files.

Provide a solution to existing users to migrate their data to Box as Box Shuttle is restricted to tenant level
We are seeking an effective solution for user data migration. At present, Box Shuttle operates at the tenant level with a current subscription limit of 10TB. However, from the end user's perspective, it would be advantageous to implement data caps at the individual account level. This adjustment would enable users to migrate their personal data from various storage sources directly to Box.

Make the "Mobile Web Access Control" setting in the management console applicable to the current domain (box.com) as well
As a result of Box consolidating its mobile sites from “a.box.com” and “m.box.com” into “box.com,” the “Mobile Web and Accessibility” settings in the Admin Console are not being applied to the current domain. Consequently, even if administrators enable these controls, they do not affect mobile access under box.com.
At our company, we use Intune policies to prevent Box files from being saved locally on corporate iPhones. Safari is not subject to Intune policies. Because the “Mobile Web Access Control” settings currently cannot enforce restrictions, users can access Box via Safari on corporate iPhones and save Box files locally, creating a…4 votes -
Add Categories or Tags to Organize AI Agents in Box AI Studio
The ability to create AI agents in Box AI Studio is extremely useful. However, as the number of AI agents increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the right agent when using Box AI.
I would like to request a feature that allows users to better organize and find their AI agents. Possible solutions could be:
- Allowing users to assign categories to AI agents, which could also be arranged in a hierarchical structure
- Enabling the addition of multiple tags to each AI agent, along with the ability to filter or search by these tagsIn short, I hope…
