Shared Link Lookup Tool
Problem: Admins often need to do investigation of files stored in Box and all they have to go off of is the file/folder's shared link. Since admins can't search by shared link in the current Content Manager UI, a Shared Link Lookup tool would provide similar information.
Key Features:
-Provide ability to enter a shared link (standard or vanity URL)
-Information returned after searching:
-File/folder name
-File/folder owner
-File/folder location (Owner -> Folder hierarchy)
-Status (whether the file/folder has been deleted or not)
-Admin-level 'delete' (ability for the admin to delete the file on the spot)54 votes -
Let user disable shortcut top menu () or load shortcut menu before files listing
Hi everyone,
whenever we user move from one folder to the next, using the web app in a browser, the page load is delayed by the shortcut menu on top. This shortcut menu displays buttons for [Upload][Folder][Word Document][Excel Spreasheet].
The current implementation is sooo annoying, since these four buttons are loaded on page and after the files listing in the directory. Unfortunately this shifts the file list of the directory down on the page each time.
This shifting down the file listing on the page is so annoying for browsing directories, since in that time one can't aim for clicking…

Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files
Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

Better visibility for file metadata
We would like for metadata to be more visible next to the file on the preview screen instead of having to go to the metadata section and clicking on view.
If metadata could be more easily accessible on the file, as well as when you copy/move the file within Box, it would be helpful if it went with the file too.

I would like the restrictions on Box AI to be lifted or reduced.
It's great that the Box AI query limit has been lifted.
Next, we would like to see the following three limits lifted or reduced.
・Limited to 1,000 characters per question
・Text content size limit is 1MB, with larger files only processing the first 1MB of text
・Non-English languages may produce lower quality resultsOf course, we would also like to see the accuracy of the AI improved. (Especially Bax AI for Hubs)

Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)
Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.
No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)
9 votesWe don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

Sharing Policy - Allow Pasting of Multiple Domains
The UX for admins to enter in domains on the Policies -> Sharing policy is pretty bad.
Box does not currently allow admins to paste in a list of multiple (even 2) domains at the same time, whether they're separate by spaces, semicolons, etc.
If we have a list of 40 domains to enter, the admin types them in one by one.
Request: allow for copy/pasting of multiple domains at once, just like we allow for in the 'invite collaborators' pop-up in the webapp.

Provide the ability to have multiple brands under Box
We are a financing company that has a section of our business that operates under "Private Label Branding." This means we are the financing arm "acting" under the brand of our partners. Currently, how box operates provides a unique problem for us. If we want to utilize file sharing with the Private Label End-users, our actual company logo and information is what is seen while having them engage in either typical file sharing/collaboration, and while using the File Request link.
It would be great to have the ability use the colors, logos, etc of our Private Label customers while still…

Custom app to pull Access Stats on files/folders without admin privileges
Goal: Obtain access statistics on files/folders via custom app with no admin privileges
We have an enterprise app that manages one of our Box folders - i.e. the app is owner of the folder while most collaborators are just editors and some co-owners. Moreover, we have the 'hidden collaborators' setting enabled, which means that only owner and co-owners can view 'Access stats' in the browser. For other collaborators (being Editors) to view access stats, we would then pull the stats via the Box API - e.g. using the events endpoint. With our enterprise Box instance, however, we do not…

Add Find in page ability in Mobile app
We'd like to add ctrl+F ability when previewing files in the mobile app.
The many use of box on my iPhone is to contain data in multiple locations so that I can look information up when I am not near my laptop. Many files are quite large and without a search feature, it is almost impossible to find the data. In the past, I have had to import the data downloaded by box into another app to search.

Notification about Update of File
If you share a link to a file or folder, is there a way for recipients on that file to be notified that the file has been updated or in the case of a folder that another file has been added?
For example, when they receive the link, could there be a message that says, if you'd like to get updated about this file/folder enter your e-mail. Then Box has a way of sending them the updates.
32 votesI would like to better understand the use case / core problem this feature would address. Please share additional details in the comments below.

Add support for browser-initiated Print Preview when "showDownload=true" is applied to preview URL
Currently when creating a preview link and using the browser's Print function, the preview (and thus printing) functionality is disabled.
It would be helpful for user experience if the user didn't have to click our printer button in the previewer (which opens a new window then uses the system print preview) and could instead use the system controls for printing (cmd-P for example) if a preview URL is appended with "showDownload=true"
0 votesNot planned. If the customer really wants, they could use our Representation APIs to build the desired flow themselves.

Your browser based video player is slow and doesn't always load files.
video player is slow and at least 60% of the time I have to download a video because your website won't finish loading. It regularly gets hung up on the last 10% and will just sit there. This issue is destroying my productivity, and I am forced to download the files to my computer just so I can view them. My computer doesn't have infinite space, that's why we pay for your service.

As an admin, I should be able to designate a folders zone (not restricted by the user).
In a closed environment where you have a single user designated as the owner, you are currently unable to utilize multiline tenancy. In an instance where UK HR Files need to have a zone of UK and US HR Files need to be in the US zone, I would need to create a separate service account to own each set of files.
Ideally you would be able to designate anything containing PII/PIA/IP to a root folder with a designated zone based on data storage compliance. Allowing multiple users to access without worrying about the need for unnecessary service accounts…

If the Content Submitters uploads a file while logged in with their Box account, please add a feature that allows the Content Submitters to be given delete permission the uploaded file within a set time (e.g. 15 minutes after upload).
