Report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.
We would like to be able to automatically mark a user on Box as inactive. Also, would like to see a report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.
One example would be the below:
I'll give you an example - we have integrated our AD with Adobe, so that when a user is disabled in AD, their Adobe product licenses are also automatically removed and therefore available to use for the new users. We add users to security groups in AD to assign the licenses. When the Adobe connector pulls the user data from AD and some of them are disabled, the licenses automatically get stripped out. Very convenient.

Shuttle migration total in current contract
I would like to see the total migration completed in the current contract using Box Shuttle.
Currently the "Content Transferred" shows the total including prior to the renewal so you don't know how much you have used after the renewal.19 votes -
Add a variable to assign a unique number when renaming a file with BoxRelay
I would like you to add a variable that allows the signed file to be given a numbered name when multiple people sign the same file by setting up a Relay triggered by Box Sign.

Box Shield: "Read Only" Security Control setting
In Box Shield, add a Security Control setting that locks the folder and effectively puts the folder in a read-only mode, disallowing edits and uploads, no matter what the collaborators' permission levels are (except Admin, obviously).
This way, it's possible to give users a "lower" permission level to a subfolder without affecting their elevated permissions in the parent folder.

Bulk Change Collaborator Permissions
We have folders that collaborate hundreds of users. We have occasion to need to modify their permissions. It would be very useful if there was a way to modify the permission level of multiple users. Using the Web UI to modify a single user at a time is very inefficient.
Either via selecting multiple users at a time, or even better, if you were to "re-invite" a user to a folder and select a different collaboration permission.
This way you could use the invite dialog box to re-invite 100 users - and change their permissions all at once.2 votes -
Support DocuWorks(.xdw) for opening
I often use DocuWorks(.xdw) files, so I'd like to be able to open them directly from the Box browser.

Expire shared links for external users, but not internal employees
When employees use shared links to exchange sensitive data with clients, we set them to expire for security reasons. However, when we later encounter a shared link within an internal email or slack message, we can no longer see what it linked to. We could go run a report to find out, but that would be a support ticket. It would be much better if shared links could just continue working for employees (if they are permitted direct access) even after they have expired for external users.
Before link expiration, content is accessible to anybody internal or external who has the link - if that's how the link was set up.
After link expiration, content would still be accessible to internal users only if they already have access to the content. So after link expiration, no additional access is granted - just the ability to access something using an expired link as well as at its regular URL.
If an employee has access to content, for us there is normally for us no reason that they should not be able to access that content via an expired shared link if they are logged in.
This should be a setting in "Shared Link Settings" dialog.
Also in Enterprise settings, Content & Sharing->Auto-Expiration ability to control a default of on or off for this feature.Related, but insufficient for this use case:

Height and width of sticky notes in BoxCanvas
BoxCanvas sticky notes can only be resized in a square shape.
Although you can arrange sticky notes freely on the whiteboard, it is inconvenient that you cannot make them longer just vertically or just horizontally.
Set anchor points on the sides as well so you can resize it freely.

Envelope support
At present box sign doesn't support envelope feature. Like adobe esign api or docusign api. I can request an agreement or an envelope to a set of users and their sign fields mapped in the entire document .
Box at present considers the signature field per document only. This is an essential piece to complete against adobe esign api or docusign api.
From pricing perspective box can introduce a special pricing for this as well.

I want to change the display position of the BoxAI button on the preview screen.
I understand that in the current settings, BoxAI buttons are displayed in the top right and at the beginning of the right sidebar when a document is opened.
I would like to be able to change the position of the top right button and the display order in the sidebar (I want it to be displayed at the bottom).現在の設定ではドキュメントを開いた際に右上と右側サイドバーの先頭にBoxAIのボタンが表示されると認識している。
この右上のボタンの位置や、サイドバーの表示順（一番下に表示させたいと考えている）を変更できるようにしてほしい。1 vote -
Sorting & Tagging
I’ve encountered a few issues with Box.com and it’s impeding on my performance.
When creating folders the system by default sorts by the latest folder accessed. Clicking on “NAME” to resort by folder structure is time consuming.
Also, I was told the Box desktop app was a good alternative to Box.com. All was well until I stumbled upon a design flaw when tagging a folder on the desktop app vs Box.com
I use a Mac and tag using their colour coding system. Unfortunately, Box.com does not support said feature so the tags are only visible on my laptop.Since there’s no sync’d tagging on BOX.com via the Box app, my co-workers cannot see which folders I’ve tagged as having contents. And there’s no tagging on Box.com that can be seen on the desktop mirror.
These are simple programming fixes. But huge annoyances.

Perform two-factor authentication on the Box mobile app
Users cannot configure two-factor authentication from the Box Mobile app.
It is necessary to configure settings from a PC, so users who do not normally use a PC for their daily tasks need to be provided with an environment where they can use a PC individually.
Since it is very time-consuming, I would like to be able to set up two-factor authentication from the Box Mobile app as well.

列幅が狭く、変更を固定できない。The column width is abnormally narrow, and changes cannot be fixed.
BOXドライブをエクスプローラ上で開いたときにファイル名の欄が異常に狭い状態で表示され、手動で直したり幅を再設定しても自動で狭い幅に戻されてしまいます。非常に使い勝手が悪いです。数年前からある不具合で多くの人が報告しているのに、いまだに修正されていないことにも驚きます。
When opening BOX Drive in Explorer, the file name column displays abnormally narrow.
Even if I manually adjust it or reset the width, it automatically reverts to the narrow width. This is extremely inconvenient.
I'm also surprised that this bug has existed for years, has been reported by many people, and still hasn't been fixed.

Mouse Drag + Option to copy/duplicate an element.
Most tools like Powerpoint, Google Slides, Figma, FigJam, Miro , etc. support holding a key and drag an element to create a copy. This the fastest way to copy elements around the page such as to create copies of post-its, squares, etc. In Box canvas, I can pick an item, copy and paste and then I have to select the copied item and move it to where I want. Drag copying does all that in one motion.

Get a bold view about comments number on a document
Today when you put a comment on a document you can see how many comments are put on the document. What will be great, is to get this number in bold until all comments have been read by the user. This may help as an example when you comeback from leaves, and get many comments on different documents, you won't get any chance to know if you checked all, except to go on each documents and check them one by one. It's boring and makes the user to waste time. Thank you to consider this request.

When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.
When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.
The task function is often used for document approval work, and there is a need to be able to set up a flow all at once so that documents are presented in order of higher rank, such as group manager > department manager > division manager, etc.
Because an approval task needs to be set up each time something is approved, it takes time for approval to reach the person in charge if approval is not noticed quickly, resulting in reduced work efficiency.承認タスクで複数人を選択した場合、承認順を選択できるようにしたい

The customer can perform a folder search for names containing “example” (case-insensitive), choose “Export results,” receive a CSV of search
The customer can perform a folder search for names containing “TBD” (case-insensitive), choose “Export results,” and receive a CSV in their Box Reports folder listing each matching folder with key metadata (folder name, full path/parent, owner, folder ID, created/updated dates). This enables efficient identification and tracking of folders marked as missing data across the tenant
The customer’s teams add “TBD” to folder titles to flag missing information. While they can locate these folders via search today, Box does not allow exporting that list of search results. The current workaround—exporting folder trees from Content Manager—does not produce a targeted list of only the “TBD” folders and therefore does not meet the need.

More Detail in Deep Scan Detection
Deep scans frequently alert with an "unknown" malware family and a description of "This file has characteristics that are similar to previously identified malicious content." This is not enough information to identify a potential threat within otherwise legitimate looking documents.
The detections details should identify what triggered the detection. Was it a macro, the phrasing of the content, an embedded link, etc.? If it was a link, what link(s) is suspicious.
