open a file in a defined app in a folder
i store files in a folder that are simple text files that can be viewed by any text editor. your preview option will not allow me to view them online simply because the extension is not txt.
sometimes its ".dat" or something else, but its still plain text. I should be able to select the viewer in the preview option and not have to download a text file to view it. your ms office word viewer would even allow me to see it.thanks

Improve wording on Box Edit confirmation prompt
Improve wording on Box Edit confirmation prompt
When a file is opened with Box Edit from UI elements, we display a confirmation prompt that asks user to proceed or not (this is UI elements only and not displayed when opening file from webapp). Currently, the prompt lets you choose approve/reject, but we want this text changed to OK/cancel (just like other Windows apps).

Bug in Box plug-in for Outlook
There is a bug in the Box plug-in for Outlook - whenever you add a file using the Box plug-in, it removes all the formatting/numbering from the rest of the email. This is quite annoying! Can this be fixed please?
Thanks

Support more than two most recent OS updates
The requirement to be on the last two OS updates is fairly onerous and makes it difficult to continue using Box. Supporting two recent versions sounds reasonable but upgrading is time consuming and risky and my system otherwise works perfectly. Dropbox have no such restriction and so I’m going to have to switch to them at least for the time being.

Pre-defined reporting
Request for Box to create pre-defined reports. Currently, we have to input criteria everytime, reallocate the parameters and reset it up again. Goal is to have admin be able to pre-populate a report thats saved and say run it every Sunday night. Any thought to utilizing Relay to run Manual Start, predefined reports?

Exempt owners from disable notifications for all collaborators
Folder owners should be able to exempt themselves when they disable all email notifications for all collaborator in a folder. I still want to receive notifications as owner. Otherwise, the only other option is to have all collaborators manually change their own settings, but this is rather unrealistic

Ability to export Post history

Capability to capture an exported list (in excel or in a pdf) and have as a separate file gives the ability to capture important history information for the document of collaborative posts and assigned tasks, such as assignees, task completion dates/times, etc.

Fix the Preview of Excel file versions
Currently, previewing older versions of Excel files does not work. No matter what version is selected, the current version of the file is displayed. The causes users to think that versioning is not happening OR that they have lost all prior versions. When users download a previous version of the file, it has the correct content for that version.

Make available list of countries available for a Shield List
The input fields are not the easiest way to find a value to add to a Shield List. Naming convention is different across systems, so it would be helpful to know the values that are available to be added.

Ability to assign specific metadata to a corresponding upload file zone when multiple exist on a page
As an internal user, I want to create a file request template that has multiple file upload zones where each file upload zone has unique metadata associated with the upload zone.
This enhancement would significantly improve the customer experience by utilizing a single URL instead of multiple. This enhancement would also streamline internal processes for staff by eliminating the need for staff to manually sort uploaded files.
In the current state, we are forced to create 3 separate file requests so that we can achieve the desired internal efficiencies.

Remove or filter out particular Box Notes from Inbox without deleting
The Box Notes Inbox contains a long list of items that are shared with me but that I may never access again. I can't remove my collaborations because they are stored within enterprise-owned folders that are shared with the entire company at a high level (e.g. all "Projects" are shared with the entire company in case we need to reference them, but I am not part of the project team for most of them). We would like a way to remove or filter certain Box Notes from the Inbox so it is less cluttered.
50 votesThank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, we are unable to prioritize this against our other priorities at this time.

Uploading contract documents to our consultants and want them to View & Print. They can print only if I upload as Viewer & Download.
Uploading contract documents to our consultants and want them to View & Print. They can print only if I upload as Viewer & Download.. We don't want to upload as Viewer & Download. We don't want the consultant to download our document. ONLY VIEW & PRINT. Current this option is not there and if possible update the platform to View & print option.

Box Note Unlimited Page Width
Right now, the box notes page width is fixed. This is particularly frustrating when creating tables in a box note that needs more than a few columns.
It would be amazing to have the width of the box notes to be unlimited to allow for tables to have many columns
3 votesHi there – Although we understand the need for unlimited page width, we do not plan to extend our existing full width experience. We will reconsider this experience once we have additional feedback and use cases.

Password Expiration Notice "Prior to" the Date
We would like to see the message like: "Your password will be expired in 7 days". Currently, BOX asks us to reset our password on the day of expiration. This can be a problem especially when we are at airport and try to see box.
At the Admin console, we would like to see "0 day" or "7 days" as options.

Preemptively cache your folder directories.
Some departments have a large volume of folders and files. During first time of loading a folder, the contents appear blank and after 5 seconds content shows up. Sometimes a person needs to go manually refresh the folder list to see the contents. This gives the first impression that Box Drive is slow. Is there a way to preemptively cache the folder directories? We do not mark any contents available offline and would like to keep it that way. Once the folder is listed the first time, all future browsing of the folder is fast.1 vote -
Behavior when searching for and specifying a user name by using the suggestion function in Japanese
If a user wants to email the user with a shared link URL or folder sharing when using Box, and then tries to search using the name of the Box account in Japanese, the cursor must be moved to another location after the first one has been specified. I would like you to eliminate this unnecessary cursor movement and make it possible to search by user name continuously.
corresponding operation in the box
① Click the "Send Shared Link" icon.
② Enter "山田" in Japanese ⇒ Several candidates appear.
③ Candidate confirmed.
④ Next, for example, enter "佐藤" ⇒ no…2 votes -
Search contents of Box notes (or other documents) even when encryption is enabled
I understand that if data is encrypted outside of Box (as is likely the case for any enterprise user), the search functionality for Box is limited to file names only. Can Box add support for search within documents (Box notes at a minimum, but ideally other document types) even in the case where the enterprise user has encryption enabled? Not having this functionality makes search useless for many of our use cases as a large development team.

make it easier to find space used and space available.
Provide access to space used and space available at the Box taskbar icon, rather than having to get into account settings.
