  1. Ability to post photos, videos, and hyperlinks in Box Hubs.

    While posting the photo and video files is nice, it would be faster to be able to easily look at photos without clicking into their previews. Also, hyperlinks and adding Box shortcut files are a must—we can't currently offer employees a list of helpful external resources in Hubs. (We could provide a PDF/Word doc with all the resource links, but, again, this requires extra steps for the end user.)

  2. Box for Office plug-in (Recent Files or Folders)

    Please increase the number of Recent Files / Folders permitted (currently fixed at 3).
    Personally I can be editing many spreadsheets in a single day, and so this quickly becomes almost useless.
    Ideally allow me to configure this with the optimum number, but just fixing at 10 or 20 would help enormously

  3. Streamline CFR Part 11 Authentication for Multiple Signatures

    When signing a document that requires multiple signatures from the same user, Box Sign currently prompts for CFR Part 11 authentication for each individual signature. This can be inefficient and frustrating, especially for longer documents. We propose enhancing Box Sign to require authentication only once per signing request—while still maintaining regulatory compliance.

  5. Box Drive & Box Shield

    Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

  6. Consolidate User and Event Log Files

    I am currently downloading Box event log files for my company and am seeing instances where the User Event log and the Admin Event log have holes in their data.

    For instance, User Event Log is giving us fields such as item path (path_collection) and file/folder description, but it is not including field data such as IP address.
    Conversely, Admin Event Log is giving us IP address, but not item path or file/folder description.

    We are trying to prevent duplication of data on our end, so we would like to be able to use one log or the other; however,…

  7. Ability to restore/delete files only by Box tenant administrators

    【Background】
    Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the company's policy will be changed.
    The policy will be to erase unnecessary data after a specific period of time.
    This policy change will also cover data residing in personal Bin.

    Currently, as a specification of Box, if an item in the Bin is maliciously "deleted from the Bin" or if data is automatically deleted from the Bin after a certain period of time, it will be unrecoverable after 14 days.
    We would like to set up a specification like "Archive function of the Bin" so that we can…

  8. Box Sign to provide multiple languages in the application

    For Sign to provide multiple languages natively in the application, rather that having to use a translator to send multi-language requests.

    This would help in international markets where specifics languages are being used and require the form to be run through a translator.

  9. Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them

    Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them

    We have a lot of users that access large spreadsheets and projects from their cloud drive when they would have good productivity gains if they had the file synced locally and worked on it that way. Would it be possible to build intelligence into Box Drive that could suggest best practices like synching large files that need to be accessed frequently?

  10. Removed cached files when file uploaded and closed

    We use a Citrix system and would like to reduce the number of cached files e have stored after using Box Edit. We would like the cached file to be deleted after the user logs out

  12. Link to searchable files on a website.

    Want a public facing search function that can be deployed on websites with Box as the back end.
    Use Case: I have several hundred newsletters in an archive in PDF format. I want a public facing link or window that the public can see without having to login into Box.
    The Box embed widget gives me a window BUT is not a good user experience. They don't need to be dragging one cloud onto another or logging into box.
    Box is great for storing and updating these files--but not for a public facing display.

  13. Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview

    I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.

    examples:

    myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt

    .json as .txt
    .funky as .md

    I say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than…

  15. View right holder to download the watermarked files from box drive.

    that way, people with view right do not need to go box.com website and download each file.
    + it will be great if they could download including folder trees with watermarked files(Pdf, ppt, excel etc).
    Take this as consideration
    best,

  16. Bulk Extract Metadata in WebApp

    Currently, it is only possible to use AI metadata extract on single files in a Box App. We would like to be able to extract metadata from multiple selected files instead of only one.

  17. Select and Take Action on Multiple Sign Requests | Bulk actions

    With Batch Send now available, higher volume e-signature use cases should become more and more prevalent. It'd be great to have the ability to select multiple Sent Requests for Sending a Reminder, Downloading the document, Canceling the Request, and Deleting the Request, as today this must be done on a one by one basis. This would help Box Sign users manage their requests in a more efficient way.

  20. Automatically Delete Files After Purge Policy Period (Respecting Legal Hold)

    While retention policies provide timed safeguarding, the system does not guarantee automatic deletion of items once the retention period ends particularly when a purge policy is specified. End users must rely on manual deletion or scheduled processes.

    This enhancement would ensure that files automatically expire and are permanently deleted via defined purge policies unless they’re subject to a Legal Hold, which always takes priority.

    Proposed Functionality:
    At retention expiration, system automatically deletes files according to defined purge rules.

    Legal Hold overrides deletion, preventing removal until hold is lifted.

    The system logs all auto-deletions in audit trails, identifying the purge policy…
