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.1 vote -
Quarantined Files - View Folder Path
Currently an admin looking at the Quarantine section of Content Manager is not shown any information about where the file was attempted to be uploaded, which is also where the file will exist if the admin clicks 'restore' (approves) the file.
REQUEST: Provide location information for quarantined files such as the folder path, owner, uploader, etc. This information is already in the policy violation email that's sent to admins, so it should also be available in Content Manager.
2 votesWe are not currently making any vast improvements on quarantine in the short term. This is still helpful. We will reconsider it when working on this feature area.

Customize watermark to include version, update date
I’d like to use the watermark or a similar feature to print the Version Number and Last Update Date on PowerPoint and PDF files. I understand you can view this in Version History, but I’d like to see it super-imposed on the content.

want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.
Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい
Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右（[←][→]）を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。3 votes -

Allow BoxDrive search to be limited to files and folders names
The current BoxDrive search will search the contents of the file as well.
We would like to be able to narrow down the search target when searching, because sometimes it is enough to search only the file name or folder name.
(In Japanese)
現在のBoxDriveの検索はファイルの中身まで検索対象となっています。
ファイル名やフォルダ名だけ検索で十分な場合があるため、検索時に検索対象を絞れるようにしてほしいです。6 votes -

Classify multiple Box Shield alerts at the same time
We recently had a user upload a lot of content to their Box account in one go during a migration from local file storage to cloud storage. There was a lot of really old data that Box detected as being malicious (over 700 files). Based on spot checks throughout the data, we've determined that the data is not actually malicious and is a false positive. With the current UI, it'd take forever to mark each of the 700+ alerts as a false positive. It would be much nicer to be able to multi-select the alerts from the main list…

Register multiple certificates in the certificate presence function of Device Trust.
Currently, only one certificate can be registered in the certificate presence function of Device Trust. This makes it very inconvenient when the certificate expires. Please make it possible to register multiple certificates to eliminate the time when the function cannot be used.

Ability to search files by SHA1 value
Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.
Key use cases:
1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)SHA1 values are referenced here:

Ability to sync folders across multiple users
My corporation has several regionally-controlled folders containing information that should be the same. Right now, that information has to be manually copied and/or reconciled to ensure the data is the same. I would like the ability to connect multiple folders from different users to ensure that the data is always synchronized across the regionally-controlled folders.

New Box Drive for Windows (Cloud Files): Improve Explorer UX during startup/connecting to avoid unstable/incorrect folder state
Problem (What problem could Box solve for you?)
When Windows starts, the new Box Drive (Cloud Files architecture) auto-connects. During this “connecting/initializing” period, the Box Drive folder becomes visible in File Explorer even though Box Drive is not fully running/ready. The folder view is unstable: some items show missing icons/status, and opening folders can result in errors. This happens consistently across multiple users in our pilot.
This behavior may be aligned with the feature “Box Drive folders remain accessible even when the Box Drive application is not running,” but exposing a partially-initialized state causes confusion and support tickets (users think…4 votes -

Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box
Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?
Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists on…

Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin
For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
・Folders with online status
・Folders with downloaded status
・Files with downloaded statusOne of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.We feel that the fact…

Toolbar vanishes randomly
When multiple files are selected the toolbar goes invisble and right click options are reduced to a minimum. The chance increases with every selected file which makes it practically impossible to move multiple files/folders at the same time.

Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive
Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.
