  1. Ability to search/surface duplicate content

    It would be beneficial to be able to show all duplicate content where files are identical.

  2. Report or visibility into folders set up to receive emails and upload files to Box

    It would be super helpful to know as an Admin any folders that are set up to accept emails and upload files to box folders. There is no report or visibility in this. As cyber attacks increase, we need to verify and make sure we know all of our external facing components - not knowing what folders has this component is a concern we have.

  3. 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.)

  4. Allow Users to 'Remove' all files from their BOX Drive as a right-click command

    It would be nice, instead of logging out of BOX Drive on my personal computer to 'remove' all files on my personal device (so anything that was cached or downloaded). Instead of having to 'log out' of the BOX drive app.

  5. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. "Last Modified By" criteria as an option within Folder and Files report

    Why isn't "Last Modified By" criteria an option within Folder and Files report? This information should automatically included. It doesn't make sense why we can't query this information.

  8. Option to default new Office files to web editor without disabling Box Edit

    Currently, when Box Edit is installed/enabled, newly created Word/Excel files in Box open automatically in the desktop app, interrupting workflows for users who prefer the web editor (like me at SMRU Consulting). Disabling Box Edit fixes this but removes desktop editing entirely, which isn't ideal.

    Requested Feature:

    Add a setting to default newly created Office files to open in Microsoft 365 for Web, while keeping Box Edit active for existing files or manual "Open in desktop" choices.

    Bonus: A prompt on creation ("Open in web / desktop?") for flexibility.

    Why It Matters:

    Streamlines workflows for web-first users without sacrificing Box…

  9. View is broken after binning multiple items - needs to force a refresh?

    I hit a bug:

    I had 33 files in a folder. (There are 20 per page). I selected the first 20 (one page of files) and clicked Bin to move them to the bin.

    The files went to the bin and once the process completed, the view showed "There are no items in this folder."

    ...but there are - there are still 13 files in the folder!

    Hitting F5 to refresh didn't fix this.
    Hitting "Next Page" took me to a "There are no items in this folder" page with no page navigation buttons. (I guessing this is because…

  11. 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,

  12. Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.

    Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/about-the-shared-workbook-feature-49b833c0-873b-48d8-8bf2-c1c59a628534

    Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.

    While we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

  13. 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.

  14. AI restriction in shield access policy

    Shield Access Policy Settings to include the possibility to restrict the use of AI on content. That would prevent using AI on files containing PII, or other files including sensitive content in particular when using Box AI in Box Hubs.

  15. Enhanced filtering/sorting when selecting folders and files

    When selecting the affected folders and files the search filtering could use some enhancements.

    I'll use the user filter options and search for a keyword but there are so many hits to filter through - it would be great to have some options on sorting the list. At the very least to sort alphabetically.

  16. Searching for Folders and Moving files

    Ever since the platform updated, it has become very difficult to move a file to a new folder by searching the folder name. I can search for the exact name of the folder and get a whole bunch of other files that aren't even close matches to the folder name. Before the changes we had no problem finding the correct folder.

    I am primarily talking about our 30 INVOICES PAID folder. This folder probably contains several hundred folders for each of the vendors that we use, with additional folders for each year. If I want to move an invoice into…

  17. Not a fan of the new main screen

    Hi - not a fan of the large blue column at the left - it now blocks when I try to do a print screen of files - I could open up a file and print screen the list within that file - now it blocks a good portion of the left side - so I can't see/print screen in formation.

  18. We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.

    We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.

    Currently, BoxDrive shows a prompt for file locking every time a file is opened.
    This is particularly disruptive when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We would like administrators to have the ability to turn off this prompt through settings.

    (in Japanese)
    BoxDriveで表示されるファイルをロックするかを確認するプロンプトを非表示にしたい。

    現在BoxDriveではファイルを開くたびにファイルロックのためのプロンプトが表示されます。
    特に複数ファイルを同時に開くときに作業の妨げになります。

    管理者が設定で表示をOFFにできる機能を実装してほしい。

  19. Add filter function to Event API to limit the result by specifying a path collection

    Event API result is a list of all updated files in an "entire" site.
    For enterprise use-cases, the volume of this returned data is inevitably very large.
    Thus, even if a part of site needs to be monitored, the network bandwidth is consumed unnecessarily and it casues the performance issue.
    Could you add a filter function to Event API so that the API returns only events related to the files in the specified path collection?
     
    This is the API asking to enhance

  20. Alternate notification email to multiple addresses

    Admin/ Co-admin to send notification email
    to multiple email addresses.
    Currently, Alternate notification emails can be set 1 email address. Would like admin to set multiple addresses to receive help desk accounts.
