  1. File Request Link API: Get a file_request object by folder's ID

    The file request link is a very useful feature.
    The advantage of being able to operate from the API is great.
    Next, I want to be able to get the file_request object from the folder.

  2. Allowing someone to edit a box note should mean they can view images

    We're often sharing box notes across teams that are used to take review notes, including lots of screencaps. But using a share link that gives someone in my company the ability to edit a box note does NOT give them the authority to view the images in the box note. Which makes the share link all but useless, because we still need to give all of them explicit access to the folder. And it makes no sense, because they can delete images that other people have added, even though they aren't allowed to view the image!

    Please put the tag button back on the page! I hate having to search through the drop down with the new updates. Weirdly, it appears when you highlight more than one document - but we need it back when only tagging one document!

    We are currently gathering feedback to prioritize the different approaches for a "Metadata export' feature. This might include Box Apps, Admin Reports, or others.

  5. Feeds and tasks in the carousel.

    I want to see feeds, tasks and notifications in the carousel instead of opening feeds, not pop-ups or email notifications.
    By doing so, the user can notice it quickly.
    However, the current carousel has few display items in the first place.

  6. Can't browse on mobile after setting a password for a shared link

    We can access a file by create a shared link for a file in Box Web App without "Password Protect" for "People with the link" and opening the URL in a web browser on a mobile device.

    Then, when the shared link is set to "Password Protect" from the Web App and then opened again on the mobile device, the message "This shared file or folder has been deleted" is displayed and the file cannot be accessed.
    The expected behavior is to display the password entry screen.

    The workaround for this issue is to clear the browser cache, and the…

  7. Transfer the workflow ownership of the existing user

    Currently we are not able to transfer the workflow ownership, while the user is active?(I know we can transfer when the admin delete the user)

    When the user moved to the other department and we want to transfer the workflow to his/her teammates, before he/she leave the department.

  8. Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage

    I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.

    This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.

    Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we…

    We are on track towards fixing this. We have made significant improvements in our Files, and Folder counts and their related sizes. They now happen in a near realtime speed and we also have a redundant process that runs and fixes these counts nightly. The current improvements are visible in most of your folders browsing experience and the enterprise level counts. We are in process of fixing counts that you can see for a given user, this will release in Calendar year 2024'Q3. There are also few minor improvements planned for the last quarter of the year.

  9. Copied photos do not carry any of the comments made on the original file.

    Comments that I have added to photos do not remain when I copy those photos to other folders within box. This is terrible as I now have to go through all of the copied photos for a second time and manually add all the comments that are associated with the original picture files.

    Please fix this.

  10. Move whith leaving a bookmark menu

    【Request】
    I would like to see "Move whith leaving a bookmark" added to the file menu.

    【Background】
    We are trying to centralize data management by using Box, but
    Copying files and folders within Box becomes inefficient if it becomes the norm.
    Searchability is reduced, file merging becomes more time-consuming, and the risk of editing or sending the wrong file increases.

    We want users to use "move" as their main tool, but
    However, if a file is removed from the source folder, other users will be confused and it will be difficult to use.

    The bookmark creation function is difficult to…

  11. Custom error messages when shared links cannot be accessed

    【Request】
    I'd like to be able to customize the error message when I can't access a shared link in Enterprise settings.

    【Current Status and Issues】
    The current error message is
    "This shared file or folder link has been removed or is unavailable to you.
    Think it's a mistake? No worries: Just email the owner or get in touch with Box support. We're here to help."

    However, it doesn't help with the next step at all.

    Even if the owner or administrator is contacted, they often can't identify the file and can't provide any support.
    Also, it is not always possible…

  12. I want to be able to upload/stream data in real time to a secure Box folder

    Drone operators, Tik Tok users, event planners, wildlife professionals, military training heads, aircraft pilots -- off the top of my head, these are just a few great uses for streaming media files in real time directly to a secure Box folder. Omit the extra, less-secure step of capturing material on a mobile device (laptop, outdoor camera, phone, and so on), and then uploading it to Box. And never worry about the camera, phone, or other device holding your precious content failing or becoming lost before you've had a chance to view/upload the data.

  13. Folder tree organization

    No way to archive / organize folders (both shared with and created) on box without just deleting them. I have box on my desktop for work and also use the web portal occasionally. I was unable to move folders (that either were shared with me or i created) into an archived / organized manner within my Box workspace. I asked Box product support and they said it wasn't a feature at this point. I'd like to be able to organize all of the folders that I created and were shared with me without having to delete them, or let them…

  18. Keep Company Branding Banner with new Box Web Experience and Collections

    One of the reasons I really like Box (enterprise version), was that my users felt like we were using a 'custom to our firm' cloud-product. The beta version of your new Box Web Experience and Collections removes the company branded banner across the top; instead leaving only our logo placed next to my profile picture in the corner. Doesn't look customized enough; instead I'm one of a thousand companies using it. The green side bar running down the left of the screen is too much - reminds me of an animated cartoon. When released, I hope the ability to keep…

  19. Approval Task Message box

    When creating an Approval Task, the message box could be bigger. When typing a comment that is more than one line and you want to review the message in it's in entirety, you have to use the up/down arrows . Make the message box either 4", or allow that box to be made larger from a corner (drag it bigger)

  20. Remove dialog box that pops up after downloading when you send a shared link to a document

    There is a dialog box that pops up after a shared link has been sent and the download has been completed. This box prompts the person to sign up or sign into Box to manage their downloads. It would be a great to turn off that dialog box, especially for those who are enterprise users. It confuses our clients when we send them documents and makes them think they need a box login to download anything, which is not true.
