Google and Microsoft FORMS integration is missing!
I see that this is not planned based on lack of demand. I'm writing this comment to increase the demand.
I will continue to use SharePoint or Google drive because this is missing from box.
Word, PPT, Excel, Google docs, slides and sheets are all here... why not forms?

Rename 'include subfolders' switch in User Activity report to 'include activity within subfolders'
There has been some confusion, as not enabling this switch still includes activity directly impacting the subfolders that sit in the parent level.

Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures
In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.
Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.
Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.
Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:
Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within these applications.…

How can I specify a file type to ignore or block
I found a thread on the forum (URL copied below) which was asking exactly what I am looking for. However, it is 4 years old and this page also has many ideas suggested but they haven't been addressed. Thus, I am not sure if my idea will be addressed but I will mention it anyway.

I would suggested allowing the user to create a configuration file in the root folder for the same in which we can specify files to ignore or block. This way, Box sync…

Request the ability to suppress emails during user provisioning in Box
When a Box user is provisioned, an email is sent to the person's email address, but there are cases where many companies and organizations, not just us, are provisioning mailboxes at the same time. In this case, the mailbox provisioning is slower than Box provisioning is completed, so Box determines that the email is unknown and is entered on the deny list. To prevent this, I'd like to see a feature that doesn't send emails during user provisioning in Box.

Boxのユーザープロビジョニング時のメールを送信しない機能を要望する
＜本文＞
Boxユーザーがプロビジョニングされると、そのユーザーのメールアドレスにメールが送信されますが、私たちだけでなく、多くの企業や組織が同時にメールボックスをプロビジョニングしているケースがあります。この場合、メールボックスのプロビジョニングは Box のプロビジョニング完了よりも遅いため、Box はメールが不明であると判断し、拒否リストに入力されてしまいます。これを防ぐために、Boxのユーザープロビジョニング中にメールを送信しない機能を用意していただきたいです。1 vote -
Add a shortcut to a file or folder
MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ADD A SHORTCUT TO A DOCUMENT from another folder/location. I have been trying to do this by copying a file only to find out that is NOT in fact a shortcut, but rather what becomes an outdated copy.

Add Box AI support for MP4 and other video file formats
Add Box AI support for MP4 and other video file formats.
Speech-to-text can be used to "read" the audio of the video. Box AI can then answer questions bsaed on that text.

I want to use box ai to train my own ai models
I imagine a world where I can create a model and associate it with a metadata set. I think it would work like this.
Create New AI Model. I would put it right next to metadata creation. Let's say I create an AI model called "Analyst Answer". I would associate Analyst Answer with a metadata template.
In the AI Model I would pick the metadata template and then I would assign Independent and Dependent variables from the MetaData Template.
For example,
Independent Metadata Field -
Financial Input 1 (Net Worth) - Tag as Independent
Financial Input 2 (Income) - Tag…1 vote -
Disable offline access for specific folder
We would like to have a feature to disable Box Drive offline access for specific folders. Our users try to download the whole department folders and sensitive folders without realizing it. This is causing issues with disk space and compliance and there is no way to control this at the folder level, as Editor will have default access to download all files offline.

Visual confirmation in webapp for which Zone content is stored in
Some customers require end user and audit confirmation that specific content is stored in a specific Zone. This can easily be confirmed if this content has some type of in-app designation (maybe another piece of information in the 'Details' tab of the webapp) that confirms which Zone a folder/file is stored in. Since this tab is already displaying file/folder info, this should be able to be included with the same API call the webapp makes to Box.

Allow using 2FA for free accounts
Hello,
It is very regrettable that BOX doesn't provide the possibility to set up 2FA security connection for theirs free account users! To have this level of security connection to the BOX account doesn't mean to profit extra services, quality, support, etc., but simply protect the BOX account and safe private data.
That's should be nowadays including in base services, that's not an extra!
To compromise the security of free BOX account users by blocking to use a worldly recommended 2FA security system, is simply contemptuous and dangerous.
Can BOX revise this issue?

Easily end collaboration on Hubs
People should have a quick and easy way to remove a Hub from the Hubs gallery. Right now, you have to dive fairly deep into the share menu. It isn't intuitive for end-users.

Option to send notifications when a change is made to a shared file
Have an option to send notifications whenever a change is made to a shared file. I don't want this for every file all the time, but in certain situations this is very helpful - for example, when I'm asking people to add information to an Excel sheet.

Show which users are inactive users when enabling to certain users in Box Sign, Relay etc
When enabling Box Sign, Relay and other additional features to only certain users, error is shown if there are inactive users.
The error does not show which users are inactive so when the admin is not aware of who is the inactive users, it takes time to remove the inactive users.
It would be great if it shows which users are identified as inactive users.4 votes -
Alerts when large amounts of data are being moved
We would like the option to receive alerts if someone is attempting to move or delete a large amount of data from it's original location in Box. This way we can keep users from mistakenly moving large folders and losing them.

Feature: Selective Notification Controls Problem: Users managing multiple folders receive excessive automated alerts, particularly for colla
Feature: Selective Notification Controls
Problem: Users managing multiple folders receive excessive automated alerts, particularly for collaborator deletions. Currently forced to choose between all notifications or none.
Solution: Add granular notification toggles at folder level, allowing owners to:
• Choose which alerts they receive per folder
• Keep important notifications while disabling non-critical ones
• Control collaboration alerts independently
Value:
• Reduces notification fatigue
• Improves content management efficiency
• Maintains essential security alerts
• Better user experience for folder owners1 vote -
Include the ability to add additional information to a user creation event or new collaboration event
User creation and collaboration often includes a number of details that should be recorded and auditable by Box Admins. When a user is created, there is often a sponsor, a ticket or request ID, and potentially a rationale, project name, or dozens of other information that needs to be remembered by the organization. Likewise, when collaborations are created, there is often additional context that should be auditable after the fact - what is the reason for the collaboration, what is the project or ticket ID that led to the request, who is the sponsor - this is especially important for…
