Allow multiple System Email Signatures
Use case of legal requirements/terms for sharing different types of data externally to be able to use multiple System Email Signatures. example: Assign a SES to a 'Footage' root folder where security footage is shared from versus a SES for 'Plans' which have much different requirements to accept.

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 -
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…4 votes -
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.

Box Report file management improvement
Currently every generated report goes into Box Reports folder, making it rather difficult to neatly manage large number of report files.
If it could be set to automatically sort report files into certain designated subfolders, etc., it would be convenient.
I would also like the auto-generated report file names be customisable.6 votes -
Disable downloading of files to those not on an Allow List
I have files I want hiring managers to see but not download. Give me the option (on files or folders) to allow/disallow downloading. Also, when a person wants to download, have it email me for permission of a one-time download or adding an email address to an Allow list if that person logs into Box.

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.

Connections uses picker in different contexts.
For files: allow only file selection, but still allow nav down folder tree. Remove the 'add file' button.
For folders: Allow only folder selection, do not show files. Do not show add files or all files button.

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.

Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box
The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using
BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

Prevent text files from being truncated in Preview Mode
When working with Box, we gather data which we lock down using the classification tooling within Box. This prevents engineers from downloading sensitive or customer data to their personal workstations or unauthorised areas and is generally very useful.
However a main use case for us is allowing engineers to read through very verbose (long) log files which our product generates. When a customer provides us with these log files, we cannot always read important information, as box will truncate the view of these long files and inform the user that they should download the file to read it in…

View Tags in Collections
The organization heavily uses tags to help with search and sorting. We'd like to have our Tags show on files folders/files when looking at a Collection
23 votesThanks for the suggestion! We are currently gathering feedback on Collections in order to prioritize future enhancements. This is not planned right now, but may be considered in a future cycle.

Prevent file duplication when using template and file replacement
Box Sign allows the creation of templates that replace the underlying document within a signature request / template while keeping the existing field placeholders in place.
However, using a different document than the pre-set document will result in duplicate files identical to the original document in the destination folder of the Sign document.
This means that one unnecessary file is generated each time the template is used once.
If a template is used 100 times, there can be as many as 100 unnecessary files!
Of course, this will not occur if no files are replaced. However, it is common…48 votes -
Show amount of time left to complete upload and the number of files remaining
It only shows a progress bar but I would like a % complete and time to complete on the progress bar as well. Also if it could show number of files that are being uploaded and how many are left. That would be very helpful when I am uploading a lot of documents and want to know long it will take to upload.
4 votesWe currently have a progress bar in the upload manager that indicates percentage complete. Adding an estimate for time could be helpful for users, but we won’t be able to prioritize this ask due to conflicting priorities – I’d suggest using the percentage complete as a benchmark for now.

API that facilitates multiple folders creation
