Pop-up feature to prevent conflicts when editing files
When multiple people modify a file using BoxEdit, conflicts can create multiple files with the same content, each with a file name like (1), making it difficult to determine which file contains the correct and latest information.
We understand that using the lock function can prevent this, but many users have difficulty using the lock function.
I would like a pop-up that says “Someone is editing the file, would you like to edit it? If you continue to edit the file, it may cause inconsistencies in the file” pop-up, and I would like to be able to edit the file…1 vote -
Run User Activity Report with API
We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.147 votes -
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.

Remove restrict files sharing within Folder Settings
We would like to remove a folder setting option that restricts sharing for files only or folders only

Slack: Sync 'Comments' on Files Between Box & Slack
Right now, when using the Box + Slack integration, Slack imports a 'pointer' to a Box file (when a shared link is posted), and then keeps that file's search index updates based on changes that happen in Box.
REQUEST: Extend this integration further to sync any Comments made on the file between Box and Slack.
In Slack, I can add a Comment to the imported Box file by clicking 'add comment', and in Box I can 'add Comment' -- it'd be nice if the comment added to the file directly in Slack also synced and was added automatically as a…

Box/MS Teams integration - prevent native file sharing
Need to add an explanation to the webpage on integrating the Box app with MS Teams:
Box file sharing is not practical in Teams if users are still able to attach files using the built-in Sharepoint capabilities of Teams. Box needs to explain how to turn off the native file sharing in Teams, thereby forcing users to use Box.
Apparently, there is a way to turn off the ability for teams to create SP doc libraries.

Preview Movie Files Without The Need To Render
Video files are taking a long time to render. We would either like there to be a file format that e can create before uploading files that will stream on Box without the need for a render. Or have the render start immediately once the upload of a video file is complete.

BOX SHIELD - Block all applications from downloading content
The following feature is redundant:
Block all applications from downloading content - No integrated applications (except Microsoft Office for the web, Google Workspace, Apple iWork, and Adobe Acrobat Online) or published custom applications will be able to download content protected by the access policy.
I thought the purpose of Box Shield was to protect organizations from data breaches????
We have configured everything within our box account to prevent certain data from being download or printed. However, Box gives our users the option to open these confidential files in Adobe Acrobat which then allows them to download, print, and…

Return collaborated files (single file collab SFC) under a folder via API
Currently, there are two API calls surrounding getting a list of collaborations:
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#view-a-folders-collaborations
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-file-collaborationsHowever, say a collaborated file exists under a non-collaborated/private folder. Now say the folder is large. It would be less easy to get a list of collaborated files under this folder without iterating through every single file.

Add description option to 'All files' level to give information/instruction to users
Requesting a description section to allow for information that would always show at the top of the 'All files' view. Potential uses:
- Basic info for new users, pinned to screen they see after login
- Guidance and company updates that could be changed as required
- (Where folder/upload is restricted at 'All files' level) Instruction for users about where to create content1 vote -
Allow me to link to other folders and files in box
I can create a bookmark to another folder in box, but the experience and visualisation of these is not useful - links to folders get lost in the file list.
Bookmarks to other folders in box, should be listed as a folder, not a file, perhaps with a different icon to show they are linked folders rather than hierarchic folders.

Allow naming files before uploading on box mobile
My company previously used Box Capture to record videos of our packed product before going out the door to customers. This helped identify skids if lost by the carrier, as well as identify products reported missing by customers. This worked really well for us for many years.
However, Box Capture is no longer supported and "all of the functionality" was supposed to be available with Box Mobile. However, there is one issue that we immediately discovered is different and is costing us extra time. With Box Mobile, you have to upload the video to Box, then go back into the…

I want to share only the necessary folders and files on the BOX drive
Since it is troublesome to access BOX.com, I usually access and edit the necessary folders and files from the BOX drive, but it would be convenient to be able to display only the necessary folders and files. Currently, when you open a folder with "Windows + E", all the folders and files in "All files" of BOX.com are displayed on the BOX drive, but you do not access all of these, and you can save files that are accessed infrequently. I think you should check BOX.com to confirm.
I think it would be useful to have options such…2 votes -
