  1. "Shared links" - search functionality

    Currently "Shared links" do not have the search functionality or the search bar enabled. This is presenting an issue some someone that needs to share a ton of files and for one reason or another cannot add the users as collaborators.

  2. Ability to read files in view only MSFT Online

    With preview not always displaying the content accurately we would like the ability to open content in Office Online but with only viewer permission. This would allow users restricted to View only to view the content accurately.

  4. 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…

  5. Single File Collaboration - Preview Permission

    The current implementation of Single File Collaboration is lacking the Preview permission.

    As organizations transition to the single file model, the functionality should align to the folder permission model as closely as possible to maintain ease of use and consistency within the application.

    The current behavior is to set the permission to Editor and require the user to navigate to multiple windows to downgrade rights to Viewer. The Viewer role still allows content to be downloaded to a local machine.

    We request Preview rights so that functionality like Watermarking can still be leveraged and to minimize data spillage.

  6. Setting up Box Edit to open in multiple applications

    Currently, when editing a file in Box Edit, there is only one application based on the extension that can be opened on the desktop.
    If you want to change the program selected by Box Edit, you need to change the registry value (HKEYCLASSESROOT\SystemFileAssociations).
    However, depending on the user's environment, registry operations may be blocked by the administrator and cannot be circumvented in this way.

    Can you please develop a standard feature that allows multiple applications to be selected when opening a file in Box Edit?
    This would greatly improve the efficiency of the work.

  10. I would really love to be able to see and use my PDF bookmarks from within the Box preview service

    I have large PDF files that are stored on Box. Rather than having to always download the files I would like to use the bookmarks within the PDF to navigate even if I am in the Box Preview function.

    Thank you for considering this enhancement

  12. Geotag files (w/ metadata or tags) based on where they're created.

    Tagging this information would allow users to search for files based on the location in which they created it. (use case: exec's that know they were in X place when they made X file)

    This is super interesting! We’ve heard more about geo-tags on data storage rather than data creation. This isn’t a priority for now, but we’ll keep an eye on this suggestion.

  13. Allow Excel Formulas to Link Directly to Files on Box

    Currently, when you open Excel on Desktop, it creates a temporary file on your own computer. When trying to connect one report to another through formulas, this results in the formula looking for the report on your desktop instead of the location the report is saved on Box. In order for the formula to update properly, you need to have both reports open at the same time.

  14. Support Copilot Integration with Multiple Box Environments under a Single Microsoft Tenant

    Many enterprises operate under a structure where a single Microsoft tenant is shared, while Box environments are separated by legal entity.
    With the current limitation that Copilot × Box integration is restricted to a 1:1 relationship, it is difficult to achieve both group-wide Copilot adoption and proper information governance.
    Enabling secure integration with multiple Box environments while maintaining a single Microsoft tenant would unlock significant value, including group-wide AI utilization, greater flexibility for M&A and organizational restructuring, and the avoidance of unnecessary Box environment consolidation or Microsoft tenant separation.

  16. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

  17. Automatically apply metadata and tags to folders and files with pulse

    Box provides users and organizations the ability to apply tags and metadata; however, trusting all users in an organization to know when and how to apply tags and metadata is not plausible.

    Box admins should be able to use Box Relay so that whenever a file or a folder is created/uploaded to a certain section of Box in our organization, then a tag or meta data flag is applied.

    Example:

    I have a folder called 2021 Tax Documents
    Tag I want Applied: 2021 Tax Documents
    Example File Name: File A

    In the example above, as soon as the example file…

  18. Bulk Metadata View for File Request Files

    We’re using a File Request form with a metadata template that collects applicant and writer info. That metadata is used for renaming applications and triggering other Relay steps.

    What’s missing is a way to see all that metadata at once. Something like a folder-level view or export that shows a list of the metadata values ie(ApplicantName, ApplicantEmail, WriterName, WriterEmail). Right now the only option is opening the metadata tab on each file one by one, which doesn’t scale when there are a lot of submissions.

    A simple list or export of all metadata in a folder would make managing these…

  20. Block file request via classification / access policy

    Currently there is no security control for access policies that allows to block file requests.
    We created a classification "external" with the security control "External Collaboration Restriction". However it is still possible that externals upload files to these folders. To us this is also a way of external collaboration. And this also creates the risk of mixing internal and external files in folders that are classified as internal.
