  1. Improve the Level of Fidelity of Text Files Preview in Box's Web App

    Can Box please improve the level of fidelity of text files preview in Box's Web App? We have reports that are generated as text files, and these reports are formatted (with spaces) so the information is readable and consistent. Currently, our users have kept providing us with feed back that they are having a hard time using Box's file preview when looking at these reports because Box file preview does not keep the format they have, and as result these reports look messy and sometimes borderline unreadable. Most of our users just have opted to download these reports to…

  2. Add notes at timestamps of audio and video

    Enable users to add timestamp notes (annotations, comments) on files with audio or video. For example: the ability to add a note at a certain point in time in the video, especially for feedback purposes.

  3. Export input metadata from file upload forms

    It would be nice to be able to export a CSV of input metadata during a file upload request.

    For example, if I create a metadata template and add those attributes as fields to my file upload form and the uploader inputs their name, email, and other requested details into those fields, I'd like to be able to export the data to a CSV for the folder they uploaded their files to and see columns for each field on the form (including attributes from the metadata template). It would be nice if the export could contain fields on the form…

  4. New Files take 10 minutes to appear in the search (Content Explorer)

    It takes ~10 minutes for a newly added file to appear in the search of the Content Explorer UI Element. In the meantime, if you attempt to search for that file based on the name, it displays no results, making it look like a bug. It can take even longer if the servers are busy (it took ~20 minutes for a file I uploaded to appear in a search one time)

    Please look for ways to reduce the turnaround on this. A suggestion: the file should be available to search by name right away, if it takes ~10 minutes to…

  5. Allow bulk action on Shield malicious content alerts

    Allow bulk action on BoxShield malicious content alerts. We have seen an extremely high rate of positives. Individually marking files as safe is not scalable, and need to be able to do bulk updates.

  6. File Activity Dashboard Feature

    Would love to generate a dashboard for users to access where they could see file activity listed out visually similar to how you can see it in the file by file method (link below), only in a more encompassing manner that includes multiple files in specific folders. The user reports generated aren’t very intuitive & doesn’t allow for a high level view of which assets are being engaged with the most at a quick glance.

  7. Add 'Box file request' in the content to Box hubs

    We want to add 'Box file request' in the content to Box hubs. This would enable various departments within the company to upload files directly here. Currently, Box file requests can accessed via a link, so having the ability to upload files through box hubs would be extremely convenient.

  8. Add Mac package support to Box files accessed via the iOS Document Picker

    On iOS, we're using UIDocumentPickerViewController along with the UIDocumentPickerModeOpen to save and later edit files 'in place.'

    Unfortunately box.com converts document bundles to zip files without further notice on the file extension. This breaks any attempt to open and edit files 'in place' on iOS and on OS X.

  9. Disable preview mode when opening Office 365 files

    Preview mode is an extra step that is confusing our technically challenged and upper management. Believe it or not, they come across this roadblock (as it is perceived) and get turned off by Box, thereby defaulting back to opening locally.

  10. 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.

  11. Make the problem files screen more usable

    Make problem files hyperlinked back to the Web App so users can easy click to take a look at the document on box.com.

    It's not always clear whether a problematic file exists only on my desktop, only on Box, or both. Clearer signals about that would be appreciated too.

  12. Render InDesign files previews with high quality

    When Box creates a preview of Indesign .indd files, placed images are shown in low quality only. This prevents to run correction and approval processes with customers as some image formats aren't rendered at all (white images area), especially images with transparencies and vector images like .ai, .eps, but also .psd.
    We are an ad agency and we depend on properly rendered previews.
    Is there a way to render the previews in correct quality and resolution without beeing forced to create a PDF instead for approval?

    i can see two options:
    1) create the preview with InDesign server. In…

  13. Search file contents for non-standard file types (e.g. py, R)

    It would be a wonderful if Box could be adjusted to index and search the file contents for files beyond Microsoft Office and text files. For example, much of what I would like to search is in python or R scripts, so being able to index and search those files as well would be very helpful.

    (it would also be very useful to search specific metadata field such as "name" or "type", like windows explorer enables)

  14. Apply classification labels with move/copy operations to folders as well.

    ■Apply classification labels with move/copy operations to folders as well.

    The current classification label assignment is checked against the events for the files in the Box.

    When there are multiple files that need to be moved/copied, it is time-consuming to specify each file individually, and the folders to move/copy to become cumbersome.
    Therefore, we would like to apply the current behavior to folders as well.

    ■移動/コピー操作を伴う分類ラベルの付与をフォルダにも適用する

    現在の分類ラベルの付与は、 Box 内のファイルに対するイベントに対してチェックがなされます。

    移動/コピー操作が必要なファイルが複数存在する場合、個別に指定して操作する手間が生じたり、
    移動/コピー先のフォルダが煩雑になってしまい業務効率の低下が生じます。
    そのため、現在の動作をフォルダにも適用することを希望します。

  15. Increase size of left-side menu on Home screen

    The left-side menu on the Home screen is too narrow and cuts off the names of folders/files saved under My Collections/Favorites.

    Users should be able to set whatever width is needed for the menu.

  18. I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied

    I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied. This will help with implementing Box Governance Classification, and support compliance/audits going forward.

  19. Box Web - make file icons smaller

    Prologis would like the large file icons in All Files > recent files to be smaller. As they are now, they aren't very helpful - the previews are too small, and you can't see the full name of the file, making it difficult to identify.

  20. Aspect ratio of files imported by Box Sign

    Aspect ratio of files imported by Box Sign
    When loading PowerPoint or Word into Box Sign, the aspect ratio may be changed and converted to PDF.
    I would like it to be converted to PDF with the aspect ratio of the original file.

    <Box Signで読み込んだファイルの縦横比について>
    Box Signで、PowerPointやWordを読み込んだ際に、縦横比が変更された状態でPDFに変換されることがある。
    元ファイルの縦横比を保ったままPDF化されるようにしてほしい。
