  1. Get the possibility to select multi files to sign with ADOBESign

    Today Box give the possible to use ADOBESign only on an unique file.

  2. Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally

    Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.

    For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
    But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.

  3. View file audit log with "Deleted users" name on files even after users have been removed.

    It is not a feature of Box to allow "file audit logs" to persist on files showing a deleted users name as the person who made the changes and currently when you remove a user all the collaborators (non-admins) can see is "user made change" instead of the person's name. Yes, you can pull a file management report, but that is for admins and does not provide the teammates of the file any insight as to who was the person that made this change, nor does it help admins determine it easily either. I would like for the product to…

  4. Ability for users with viewer privileges to open files in desktop applications

    In BoxWeb, users with viewer privileges have the "Open" button grayed out and cannot deploy files on the desktop.
    However, BoxDrive allows users to open Office files as "read-only" even if they are viewers.

    With BoxDrive, when a file with viewer privileges is opened, it is extracted in the Office application, but with BoxWeb, if you want to view the file using the Office application, you need to download the file, which is time-consuming and cumbersome.
    I would like to see an improvement so that the file can be extracted directly in Office without downloading.
    I would like to see…

  5. Permit a relay to be edited by multiple users

  6. Allow multi-file downloads greater than 20GB by streaming as gzipped tar

    Downloading multiple files via the Box web interface is currently limited to a total file size of 20GB. I assume this is due to needing server-size storage to create a temporary zip file for the download. If, instead, there were an option to download the selected files in gzipped tar format, there would be no-need for additional server-side storage (because both tar and gzip are streaming formats) and there would be no need to cap the download size.

  7. Ability to lock files from within application once they're open

    Our users would like the ability to lock a file once they have already opened a file in Box Edit/Box Drive/Box for Office.

    They would like the ability to do this within the document without having to navigate back to the webapp or sync to lock the file.

    Box for Office automatically locks a file when it’s being worked on. We don’t currently have plans to do this or Box Edit.

  8. Request to suppress collaborator invitation emails.

    When needing to invite a single user into multiple files and subfolders within a given folder, but not into all files in that specific folder, we'd like to see a way to suppress the email notifications that are automatically sent to that user each time the collaborator invitation is sent.

    Currently there is no way to choose to not have the email notifications go out and then it inundates the user's inbox.

  9. Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks

    In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

  10. Please remove the feature that hiding files/folders in Box Drive.

    I work at Box's help desk. Since most users aren't fully proficient with Box, hiding files/folders causes confusion.

  11. Including the original path to a file that was deleted.

    It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

  12. Input file/folder ID instead of folder name in Files and Folders report

    Quite often folders with same name appear when the folder name is entered for filtering the folder to create the report, resulting in the report being incorrect although after long time waiting for the report to be ready.
    By allowing to filter by file/folder ID instead of folder name, such mistake can be avoided and the the filtering can be made more accurate.

  13. Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy

    Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

  14. Update Box Sync to ignore temporary save files from Terramodel (*.~pr)

    Trimble Terramodel is a CAD program similar to AutoCAD or BricsCAD and saves a copy of the main drawing file (PRO files in the case of Terramodel, DWG in the case of AutoCAD) and renames the extension ~PR (AutoCAD equivalent is BAK).

    Box needs a simple way of toggling the option to ignore certain file types such as these to prevent syn errors and long scanning sessions during sync.

  15. support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP

    It's very helpful that Box now supports previewing Zip Files as noted at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196713-Previewing-Zip-Files, and we would like to know if there are plans to support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP?

    it's such a bummer that I have to click the file button on top to sort an alphabetical order… And it's not even me… there are people on my team we don't know how to do this yet… This should be a very standard feature

  17. Add folders and files to a Legal Hold via the UI

    Currently, Legal Holds can only be applied to custodians (people) via the UI, but other options (files, folders, and specific versions) are available via API - https://community.box.com/t5/For-Admins/Legal-Holds/ta-p/19886

    This request is to add UI support for adding files and folders to a Legal Hold via the native Box Admin Console UI.

  18. Notifications from Box Relay aren't very useful without linking back to the file or folder

    Relay is a great tool - but the Notifications aren't very useful. There is no way to link to the actual file or folder that is involved, so the user gets a very nebulous notification that is basically meaningless. Instead of being helpful, it could actually cause confusion for the user, if there are multiple activities happening at the same time.

    Please update this functionality! Thanks!

  19. Quarantined files indicator for Box mobile app

    Quarantined files currently show a red exclamation indicator icon + tooltip “This file is under quarantine” on webapp, but NOT on mobile.

    This is an issue for users (especially external collaborators) who will try to access these quarantined files on mobile, but not understand why they can’t access it.
