Usage stats per region of the world (Global stats)
We have global offices / teams dispersed globally. Admin teams currently have no way to monitor Box usage broken down by these teams (workaround suggestion is to create groups by office, but lots of admin overhead).
Suggestion is to use localization settings, IP address, or Box regional setting and categorize by country or region (Europe, APAC, LATAM, NATAM, etc.) to allow admins to report on usage stats by global region. (heat map of the world, etc.) Current reports with an additional column/filter.

Expose Box's "Notification Email" field to SAML provisioning and syncing
The "Notification Email" functionality in Box is very helpful for @mentions, file sharing invites and other user notificaitons that need to go to an email address other than the email address used to sign into Box. This can be the necessary when a company has subsidiaries on a common directory infrastructure, but one or more subsidiaries is still maintain the old email identities for day to day work. There are likely other reasons to use this field.
Email: john.doe@mothership.com (Used to sign in.)
Notification email: jdoe@subsidary.com (The correct email address for user notifications.)Box's SAML integration allows an…

Detailed List of Managed Users in Tenant
We would like the option to view a detailed list of managed users in tenant that has all the information of the following that is provided in the Admin Console's Users & Groups":
- User Account Details
- User Access Permission
In the case of a large enterprise with many users registered,
this would greatly help check and sort through each user's permissions conveniently without having to click each user's profile.(Currently, neither "List enterprise users" API nor "User Details" report provide for this use case.)

Add co-admin roles or templates
Add co-admin roles or templates. We have multiple groups who need co-admin access. Would be very helpful to have a role that is used to give permissions to an entire team. If a new permission is added, just update the main role\template and the entire team gets updated. Currently I have to go through each individual to change a permission for an entire team.

Support for Pasting Multiple Email Addresses in Box Hubs and Box AI Features
When selecting “Enable for selected users and groups,” I noticed that the text area for entering email addresses does not support pasting multiple email addresses at once. Currently, it requires entering each address individually, either by typing or pasting one by one, which is time-consuming when enabling the feature for multiple users.
Would it be possible to enhance this functionality to allow pasting multiple email addresses at once, similar to how collaborators can be invited to folders?

Improve Sharing Sidebar UI
In the Sharing Sidebar, how about moving "Shared Link" and "File Request" to the top and then using all that sidebar real estate down the right side to allow a longer list of permissions to be seen without having to click into the Collaborators menu? Will make reviewing/managing permissions by folder more efficient. Alternatively, instead of "+10 People, + 2 Groups," why not describe that menu: "Full Collaborator List" or something like that.

I want the folder selection screen to be sorted by name.

Ability to provision user zone through IDP
Currently we have a number of different zones that we have for our users. When users come into the company we have to manually update those zones to ensure that data resides in their countries. We would like to provision this with our IDP so that when a user comes onboard, we can send the zone along with the task to create the user and remove the manual task. We currently add to groups and set a number of other things but zone is not one that is available.

Enable Advanced Boolean Search Filters When Exporting Legal Hold Content
While Box allows export of content under Legal Hold, the workflow lacks Boolean search capabilities to refine the export dataset. Users can’t currently apply logical conditions like AND, OR, NOT, or grouping filters (e.g., "contract AND 2023" OR "proposal NOT draft") before exporting files. This limitation forces bulk exports and requires manual filtering post-download.
Proposed Enhancement:
Integrate Boolean search operators into the Legal Hold export interface.Allow users to construct logical queries across file content, metadata, filename, custodian, date range, and folder path.
Enable advanced filters: (“Project A” AND “budget”) OR (“legal hold” NOT “archived”).

We would like to search by the entered email address from the selected user in the drop-down list.
Recently, a new feature has been added to the Admin Console, allowing users to filter by selecting 'External Users' and 'Unmanaged Users' from the drop-down list in the 'Users & Groups' tab. This is a fantastic improvement.
We would like to request the following three additional enhancements:
1) When 'External Users' is selected from the drop-down list, it should be possible to search by email address in the top search field, and the results should display only 'External Users'.
2) When 'Unmanaged Users' is selected from the drop-down list, it should be possible to search by email address in…

Symlinks in Box to Solve Core Content Organizational Problems.
Box needs symlink support to solve this fairly standard problem that likely happens in every company.
Let's say you manage a team, and you have a team folder and a team structure for how you like to organize and store your files. Inside of that folder are meeting notes, projects, architecture documents, demo recordings, Hiring/Interview Documents and more.
The problem is, eventually the...
- HR team grows and wants to standardize on everyone's interview documents, hiring panels, and more, so they tell you where to put these sorts of files.
- Architecture team grows, and they now want all architecture-related files and…

Extend the Collaborations Endpoint to Support "Accepted" Status Filter
Proposed Improvement:
Extend the Box API Collaborations Endpoint to Support "Accepted" Status FilterCurrent Endpoint Description:
The current Box API endpoint for retrieving collaborations (GET /collaborations) supports filtering by collaboration status, but it is limited to the status=pending parameter. This allows users to retrieve only pending collaboration invitations for files and folders. The endpoint is documented at:
https://developer.box.com/reference/get-collaborations/#param-statusProposed Enhancement:
Extend the GET /collaborations endpoint to include support for the status=accepted filter, enabling developers to retrieve all active (accepted) collaborations on files and folders owned by a specific Box user. This enhancement would improve the ability to manage and audit…1 vote -
Using Box with FTPS and MFA
We would like to use automated scripts to upload files to Box using FTPS. We would also like MFA enabled for our internal users. Box has advised that:
1. They do not provide service accounts to facilitate this
2. They do not allow per-user control over MFA settings
3. The process to login when MFA is enabled is manual and cannot be automated.
4. FTPS only works with SMS MFAWe would like the following product enhancements:

Privileged user audit controls
We would like to request a feature enhancement please to provide a new email alert to be triggered to a specified group of users when a global enterprise search is performed by a privileged Box admin user from the Box admin console.
We had an insider attack last year which included theft, abuse of privileges, credit card fraud and more. One of the methods he used was to perform enterprise level searches (credit cards, passports, drivers licences) across the whole Box environment.
Whilst we can manually look for these events via a report, this is far to slow to catch…

Need for Retaining and Utilizing EXIF Data when Uploading Photos to box.com and Box Drive
I have been managing my photos on my PC and I'm considering migrating them to Box for better organization and accessibility. However, I've encountered a significant obstacle - the important EXIF data associated with my photos, such as the capture date and time, is lost once the photos are saved in a Box folder. This issue persists whether I upload the photos directly from the browser or through other methods.
I'm using Box Drive on Windows, and I've noticed that the property values also disappear in Explorer. Interestingly, when I moved the same file out of Box Drive, the property…

Allow Multiple Enterprise IDs (EIDs) to be Defined as a Single Internal Organization (Tenant Federation)
For security or operational reasons, it is common for a single enterprise to operate multiple Box tenants. However, when an organization's internal user scope ("company") is defined by its Enterprise ID (EID), users from these separate-but-related tenants are treated as external collaborators.
This creates significant problems and reduces usability:
Shared Link Restrictions: Users from a related tenant cannot access links shared with the "People in your company" permission level.
Group Collaboration Issues: It is not possible to invite groups from a related tenant to collaborate on content.
Reduced Security and Convenience: Collaborators from related tenants are flagged as "external,"…
