Request for Dynamic Session Timeout Control Based on SAML SessionNotOnOrAfter
We would like Box to reference the SessionNotOnOrAfter value in the SAML response and allow the session timeout to be set shorter than the tenant’s default value (and, if possible, longer as well).
Our intention is to have the IdP determine the security level based on factors such as device type and user type, and then shorten the session only when the risk is high, while allowing longer sessions when the risk is low, thereby enabling risk-based session management.

SAML SessionNotOnOrAfter によるセッションタイムアウト動的制御の要望<本文>
SAMLレスポンス内の SessionNotOnOrAfter を参照し、Boxのセッションタイムアウトをテナントデフォルト値より短く(可能であれば長くも)設定できるようにしていただきたいです。
IdP側でデバイス種別・ユーザー種別などから安全性を判定し、安全性が低い場合のみセッションを短く、高い場合は長くすることで、リスクベースのセッション管理を実現したい意図があります。2 votes -

Full file view and file rotation ability in Box preview
Users have reported that having the option to view the entire file in Box preview would be and be able to rotate the document within Box preview would be helpful to their user experience. Currently, users need to download the file or use Box edit for these features.

Add preset date ranges such as “Previous Month” when scheduling report generation
When scheduling report generation, it would be very helpful to have an option to select “Previous Month” (from the 1st to the last day of the previous month) as a preset date range.
It would also be useful to have additional preset options such as “Previous Year,” “Specific Month,” or “Specific Year” to easily configure commonly used reporting periods.2 votes -
Improvement of the repeat timing for Box Relay schedule events
When trying to set the repeat timing for a Box Relay schedule event to monthly, currently you can only choose the 1st day or the last day every few months.
The timing of the event's start is not necessarily at the beginning or end of the month, so it is inconvenient to use.
I would like you to add a setting that repeats monthly based on the start date, like the report scheduling feature.-in Japanese-
Box Relayのスケジュールイベントを毎月に設定しようとしたとき、現在は何か月ごとの第1日目もしくは最終日しか選択できません。イベントの開始タイミングは必ずしも月初や月末ではないため使いにくいです。レポートのスケジュール設定のように、開始日を基準に毎月繰り返すような設定を追加してほしい。5 votes -
Add Fixed and Descriptive CSS Tags for Easier Pendo Integration
We use Pendo to automate and manage user guidance within Box. Pendo provides automation features that allow us to automatically trigger specific AI agents, even when many agents exist.
However, with the current Box coding rules, it is often difficult to use Pendo’s feature tagging effectively, because it is hard to uniquely identify elements for tracking or automation.
I would like to request that Box implements a development rule to add fixed and descriptive CSS tags (classes or IDs) to relevant elements related to AI agents. This would make it easier for Pendo users to specify and control these elements,…

Box language settings are not reflected in Box Notes.
Even if I change the display language of Box, the display of Box Notes does not switch to that language.
As I checked, it seems to depend on the language setting of the browser.
Other features such as Box Canvas and Box Hubs are tied to the display language of Box, so I would like to see Box Notes modified to work the same way.4 votes -
Shield alerting admins when users "download" from Box Drive
A customer is reporting difficulty using Box Shield’s Anomalous Download detection due to how downloads are currently defined when Box Drive is in use. Box Shield flags a “download” whenever a user expands or opens a folder in Box Drive. As a result, routine navigation actions are recorded as downloads, creating noise in the anomaly signals. The customer is asking whether anomalous download detection can be refined to trigger only on intentional file downloads (e.g., explicit download actions), rather than folder expansion or passive access via Box Drive.

Korea zones
I would like to have Korea added as a new Zones country.
There is a law passed that the content needs to be stored in Korea so we will need Korea Zones to use Box in Korea.7 votesThis feature is not planned currently, but this might change based on the customers' feedback, so make sure you vote for it and add comments.

Allow search feature on shared link folders
Allow search feature on shared link folders. Search feature should be everywhere whether they are collaborated folders or guest shared link folders.
Currently they are not available on shared link folders which makes it difficult for users to search for a specific file within a folder. (E.g. 500 image files in a folder and user has to download whole folder to search for a specific image file)

Box Hub Image Previews for External Users
Image previews in a Box Hub are not available unless logged in. We love the Box Hubs internally and would love for them to be as helpful and useful for non-users.

Box Sign Completed Document Retention/Archive
Requesting a feature for the Box administrator to natively retain a copy of all completed Box Sign documents in an environment. The Sign event Relay function partially meets this requirement, but this Relay workflow would need to be applied to the root Box folder.
Otherwise, a Governance or Retention policy that can accomplish this would be required. A third alternative may be to add a filter for Box Sign documents, similar to spreadsheets and PDFs, within the Content search feature. This would allow an administrator viewing all user content to filter out any documents not associated with a Box Sign…

Box Web
Currently, when previewing a file in Box, navigating to another file often requires leaving the preview or opening a new view, which disrupts the user’s workflow. Introducing an in-browser preview experience similar to Outlook’s email preview would represent a significant usability improvement.
Specifically, this enhancement would allow users to:
Open a file in a preview pane within the same browser window.
Seamlessly navigate between files (e.g., next / previous) without closing the preview.
Preserve folder context and file list visibility while reviewing content.
Avoid losing navigation state or opening additional windows or tabs.
Beyond general document review, this functionality would…

AI units insights
Add enhanced reporting capabilities to the admin console that provide more granular and visual data on AI Units consumption patterns - instead of just a number on the insights. Having the just the tile with the overall number on the insights makes it difficult to track and manage my AI units efficiently.
I would like to have:
Graphical representation of AI Units consumed
Daily breakdown of consumption data
Ability to identify workflows causing usage spikes or dips
On-demand access to usage insights5 votes -
Prefer that it's not automatically set to "comment with time stamp" for video files
When commenting on a video file, the timestamp automatically comes on. It gets in the way. Our team don't use this feature. Can it be set to off? And when we decide to use the time stamp feature, we can toggle it on.
Sometimes we just need to comment back and forth without actually using the time stamp. Thanks!

Support Document Tabs in Google Docs.
I am a heavy user of Document Tabs [1] to help with my productivity and organization when using Google Docs.
However, if I create a Google Doc from Box or if I save my Google Doc from Google Drive into Box, the document tabs that I use are removed and the document tab feature is disabled. Because I don't have this feature, I am avoiding the creation of my Google Docs and storing my Google Docs in Box because it is causing a major disruption to my productivity.

Box Relay
Box Relay needs to be able to create a work flow for a parent folder and have it work for all child folders. A user is setting up a simple notification (upload, download) and then sends a notification to a set of users with a message. The user currently has to replicate or create a new Relay for each child folder. Very, very silly to have to waist so much time.

Better Reporting Experience, Especially for Clients in Highly Regulated Environments
In general, I think Box Reporting needs to be an area for improvement. There should be more options for reports and more filters and ways to manipulate the reports in Box.
Something specific we would like to see is better reporting around Governance, especially with retention policies. We operate in a highly regulated environment where we needed detailed reporting around this information. There needs to be more granularity with reports, such as the Files and Folders report. We should be able to run a report that shows all root folders or be able to separate out folders and files. I've…

Box Events API Collaboration Events don't show the same details as the user activity report
When a User Activity report is generated, we can show events for 'Change user or group role' and 'Removed collaborator'. As part of these records there are additional details provided showing:
From: ROLE, To: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234
Was: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234When using Box Events via API we also see events for
COLLABORATION_ROLE_CHANGEandCOLLABORATION_REMOVE. These line up to the records in the User Details report however they are missing the details about the previous states of the collaboration.As part of our company policy for managing collaborations, I need to be able to fetch the previous…
