Ability for users to set sorting preference
Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.
Please enable users to set the default sorting order for folders or restore the prior defaults
44 votesHi there! Setting sorting preferences is supported in Box Drive. Please let us know if it still doesn't work for you.

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?

List of files detected as abnormal downloads
Content: Currently, Box Shield cannot output a list of files detected as abnormal downloads, so a report must be output and presented to the user for confirmation.
If there are a large number of detections, it is not practical to check them one by one.I would like to see a feature implemented that allows you to check a list of affected downloads if an abnormal download is detected.(日本語)
件名:異常なダウンロードとして検出されたファイルの一覧について
内容:現状のBox Shieldの異常なダウンロードで検知されたファイルは一覧出力ができず、レポートを出力してユーザーへ確認する必要があります。
検知数が多い場合、1つずつ確認するのは現実的ではありません。
異常なダウンロードとして検知された場合、対象一覧を確認できる機能の実装を希望します。3 votes -
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.10 votesGreat news!
We've rolled this out in a recent release. Thank you for helping make Box better!

Box needs an ability to pause certain file uploads/transfers
When trying to upload files to meet a deadline, I sometimes have large working files using up all my transfer space. The ability to pause or stop certain files from uploading, prioritizing others would be extremely helpful. This would also be beneficial for metered connections while travelling. Thanks.

Get the possibility to select multi files to sign with ADOBESign
Today Box give the possible to use ADOBESign only on an unique file.

Add "Expand" Option to See All Files within a Folder as Thumbnails
In Box Hubs, you can add a folder but only the folder shows as the thumbnail, not all the files within that folder.
It would be great to have an "Expand" option to allow you to see all of the files within a folder as thumbnails under the folder as well.

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.

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.

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

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.1 vote -
Please include the ability to update one file that lives in two different folders so it's easier to update both files simultaneously.

Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…13 votes -
Display warning notification (admin controls) for moving large files and folders.
We have large projects folders containing 5+ GB of data. Would like to have a warning notification similar to that of deleting a file, pop up when someone goes to move a file or folder.
Ideally this would have customizable parameters controlled by the admin such as warn users only when file contains over 100 mb or even a feature that requires admin approval over a certain amount.
We recently had one of our very large folders moved accidentally and it caused a huge bandwidth issue as well as displaced the many sub folders that various departments relied on.

Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters
Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

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

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!

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…

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".
