  1. The ability to copy collaboration information from one existing folder to another

    There are cases in which we wants to invite collaborators who are invited to one folder to another folder with the same permissions.

    If we have users with the same permissions, we can save time by inviting multiple users at once or creating a group.
    However, setting different permissions for each user takes man-hours and is prone to error if it is checked only checked visually.

    It would be useful to be able to the ability to set the collaborator permissions of an already created folder to another folder as is.

    <フォルダのコラボレーション情報を別のフォルダにコピーできる機能>
    あるフォルダのコラボレータを、別のフォルダにも同じ権限で招待する場合があります。

    同じ権限のユーザーであれば複数まとめて招待したり、グループを作成することで手間を省くことはできますが、
    ユーザー毎に異なる権限を設定する場合、工数もかかり、目視のみの確認だとミスが発生しやすいです。

    既に設定済のフォルダのコラボレーションしている情報を、そのまま別のフォルダに設定できる機能があると便利です。

  2. Move order of Metadata Template Fields

    When editing an existing Metadata template, I would like to be able to move or shuffle the order of the fields.

    I created an applicant metadata template and need to add in a dropdown for field for "Education Major." Currently the Education fields are towards the top of the template. I would like to be able to insert a field or move the fields to maintain grouping without having to rebuild the whole template.

  3. New Metadata Types that Reference Files, Folders, Users, and Groups

    Provide the capability to store and manage a relationship as metadata. This would allow you to model peer and parent-child relationships between Files, Folders, Users, and Groups. This would store the unique id for the Box object and provide a user experience that would allow you to navigate to each item by clicking on the metadata value.

  4. On Admin Console, provide ability to use wild card search for external users.

    On the Admin Console > Users & Groups > External Users, allow users to use a wild card for searches. Currently, the search only performs a "starts with" search on the email address and name. However, this is very limiting and restrictive, especially when we have thousands of external users, and the name field is variable (first last; last first; nicknames, etc.) The wild card feature or "contains" would give the user an option to search within the email address to filter users by email domain.

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  6. Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements.

    Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements. Restricting permissions completely, cripples the automation system. Create additional permissions or permission groups to manage the Collaboration Space allotted to the client's business.
    The client will define the required permission for users, and they will own any responsibility for their resources on Box.
    We are performing automation using RPA, with limited access, unable to automate to maximum extent. Cannot be raising tickets with Box team for every activity that the bot cannot perform.

  7. Show list of co-admins

    In the admin console > users & groups, it would be helpful if more than three co-admins were listed in the panel on the right side. Currently, even though I have more than 3 co-admins for my Box instance, only three of them show up in the list of Co-admins on the right side.

  10. Update removed the ability to view notifications on a single page. You have to scroll through them from the top tool bar. Please add back!

    The newest update removed the ability to view notifications (@mentions, etc) on a single page. You have to scroll through them from the top tool bar. This makes these difficult to managed properly. This needs to be added back ASAP!

  11. Request for improvement of behavior when posting a shared link of a Box folder in a Teams channel or chat

    When you post a Box shared link in a Teams channel or chat, you'll see a Grant Access card with the option to grant users additional permissions if the following conditions are true:

     condition:If there are channel members or chat members who do not have access permissions to the shared folder or file.
          *This includes channel members and chat members who are invited as a group but not directly invited as users.

    The support article states that when you grant access, the card will update and a content card with file details will be displayed.
    However, when you post a…

  12. Additional Sorting Options for Managed Users in Users & Groups

    I would like to request the addition of more sorting options for Managed Users in the Users & Groups console.

    Currently, sorting is limited to Name, Email, and Storage Used.

    It would be extremely helpful to include the following:

    1. Sort by Last Activity
      Enables identification of users who have never accessed Box or who are inactive.
      Helps admins determine which accounts can potentially be cleaned up or require follow‑up.

    2. Sort by Status
      Allows quick visibility into which users are disabled in Box.
      Supports faster lifecycle management and removal of stale or unused accounts.

    While this information is available through…

  14. Ability to hide file previews from Access Stats when a specific user/group of users views a file in Box.

    There is a need for a 'covert' style admin functionality which would mask when one of these users views a file in Box.

  15. provide a way to auto-check the 'Only one assignee is required to complete this task' checkbox

    This is when you are adding approval tasks to a document. If you forget to check this, it can lead to everyone in a group having to go in and approve the document before it can be completed.

  16. Collapsible folder tree/structure for Box Notes for Desktop

    As mentioned in other feedback, right now only having "Recent", "Favorites", and "Inbox" as filters makes organizing and looking through notes difficult.

    It would be interesting to either 1) integrate the user's folder tree in the Box Notes view or 2) have subfolders within "My Box Notes" show up as the structure.

    May be related to PF-02982.

  17. Admin view - Users and Groups

    the current filters don't let me choose just managed users, it includes appusers which I do not want to see. I also need to filter by the date added. The old UI design had this and it was very helpful, the new design is missing it.

  18. Filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated in the user detail report.

    Content:
    Currently, the user detail report cannot filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated,
    and it is necessary to check while cross-referencing with the user list on the Users and Groups screen.
    Additionally, the unmanaged user list on the Users and Groups screen can take up to 24 hours to reflect changes,
    which may cause discrepancies with the information at the time of report output, reducing operational efficiency.
    I request the implementation of a feature that can filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated.

    タイトル: ユーザー詳細レポートで、コラボレーションされていない管理されていないユーザーをフィルタリングする。
    内容:
    現在のユーザーの詳細レポートでは、コラボレーションされていない管理対象ユーザーをフィルタできず、
    ユーザーとグループ画面のユーザー一覧と照らし合わせながら確認する必要があります。
    また、ユーザーとグループ画面の管理対象外ユーザー一覧は反映までに最大24時間かかるため、
    レポート出力時の情報と差異が発生する可能性があり、業務効率が低下します。
    コラボレーションされていない管理対象外ユーザーをフィルタできる機能実装を希望します。

  19. Add additional_info data to all events to include service_id

    Currently, many events do not include the additionalinfo fields, in particular the serviceid field. This makes it difficult for organizations with many applications to track which of these applications are making the calls.

    Here are the events missing this information:

    • RENAME
    • UPLOAD
    • ITEM_CREATE
    • ITEM_UPLOAD
    • ITEM_MOVE
    • ITEM_TRASH
    • ITEM_RENAME
    • COLLABORATION_ACCEPT
    • COLLABORATION_EXPIRATION
    • COLLABORATION_INVITE
    • COLLABORATION_REMOVE
    • METADATAINSTANCECREATE
    • METADATAINSTANCEUPDATE
    • METADATATEMPLATECREATE
    • METADATATEMPLATEUPDATE
    • COMMENT_CREATE
    • COMMENT_DELETE
    • METADATAINSTANCEDELETE
    • METADATATEMPLATEDELETE
    • COLLABORATIONROLECHANGE
    • GROUPADDITEM
    • GROUPADDUSER
    • GROUPREMOVEITEM

  20. Large Folder Operations dashboard with status, ETA, rollback, and reporting

    Requesting a centralized Large Folder Operations Dashboard in the Box Admin Console or via API to improve visibility and control over major content transfers.

    During a large folder ownership change, an unexpected behavior occurred where ownership polling and job sequencing did not reflect the actual state of completion. This led to a move propagating recursively from an empty child folder to an inherited, multi-million-object parent folder.

    A built-in dashboard would provide transparency into large operations and prevent this class of issue from occurring silently.

    Proposed Capabilities

    -Status Tracking — show all active or queued large folder transfers (ownership, move, or…
