Slack: Show Preview of Box Files within Slack
Currently, the Box + Slack integration auto-unfurls Box shared links that are posted into a DM/Channel in slack.
The only Box file type that unfurls to a native (in-line) preview are image files (jpg, png, etc.).
Slack has a native preview for a video file uploaded directly in Slack, but no preview for the same file when shared via Box.
REQUEST: Add in the native (in-line) preview (that already exists for image files shared from Box) for many more common file types (Office files, PDFs, mp4s, etc.) -- possibly by leveraging the Box Preview API.

Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.
Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.
We want to restrict users from downloading files that have been identified as having PII. However, we would like a mechanism to allow users that have a business reason to download files. Either through a 'User Justification' similar to the 'External Collaborators Restriction' security policy or an approval workflow.

Support for Multiple Upload Zones in Box Forms + Relay
Summary:
Enable the creation of multiple, distinct file upload zones within a single application or embed experience—for example, within a Box Doc Gen-powered form or workflow.Details:
Today, applications built with Box’s Form capabilities typically support a single upload zone or file request area. This limits the ability to organize incoming files contextually during intake or data collection workflows.We’re requesting support for multiple upload zones in the same app or form—each mapped to a different folder, metadata tag, or Doc Gen trigger.
Example Use Case – Box Doc Gen for Application Processing:

Accurate display of number of files
Fixed the problem of inconsistent number of files
Inconsistencies in the number of files can occur when large amounts of data are owned or moved for business purposes.
There is a workaround for this in the support page, but it does not work in some cases.
Even if we can confirm the exact number of items in the report, the size may differ due to data inconsistencies.
We feel that it is inconvenient for business use to not be able to accurately grasp the number of data.
Please fix the inconsistency of the number of files.[日本語]

Allow us to change sharing settings on multiple "image" files at once!
It's a HUGE pain in Box. You put 20 or 30 images into a Box note, and you want to share that note with someone at your company, but outside the team that has access to that folder. You must MANUALLY click every single image, open sharing settings, change to "View to anyone at my company".
If Box could just make it so that if we change the sharing settings on the folder containing the images, all the images would have the same sharing settings, OR allow a multiselect of images to change sharing settings for all images at once,…

Ability to rearrange the image files displayed on Box Drive and Box Web
For image files (photos), such as jpg and png files, there is a Date taken item in the "Properties".
On Box Drive and Box Web, We wants to organize the photos by descending or ascending order based on the Date taken.
However, since [Box Drive] and [Box Web] do not have the Date taken attribute, files cannot be organized by the date and time they were taken.
Thus, we would like you to add the Date taken attribute.23 votes -
Add .dwl files to ignored file type list
Would really appreciate .dwl files (temporary files created by Autodesk apps) being added to the Ignored file type for syncing in Box Drive. Currently .bak files are there which within Autodesk apps we have the ability to repath anyways. With .dwl files, we have no control... they go in the same folder as the file. They are not always deleted as they should be due to Program crashes and end up cluttering the folders needlessly.

Search for multiple files at one time.
Searching for 800 unique files that are in various folders in box.
I am trying to narrow them down and move them to a single folder for organization purposes.
I am currently only able to search for one file at a time but would like to have a way to import a list of names and search that way or at the very least a comma separated search function.
0 votesThank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Report on files containing PII
We would like the ability to run a report which will identify files with PII in our environment, such as social security numbers or credit card numbers. Currently, notification is provided upon upload of the content, and only if the customer has governance and the appropriate content security classifications

Identify files that fail to sync using Box Sync
In my experience - Box Sync on Windows 10 - I often run into messages "N files could not be synced" - usually because a Mac user saved a file with a name Windows can't handle. If it's only one file, it tells me the name, but if it's more than one, it only shows the number. I would go into Box to rename the files - however, I cannot find any way to identify the offending one. Would love an option on Box Sync that showed the set of files that are throwing sync errors.

*.jar files should not be opened like *.zip files
I sometimes share software patches with customers via Box. The files are often .jar... This is the file extension for Java Archives, which are a type of .zip format. However, unlike .zip, they are not intended to be opened by users. The Box interface (desktop at least) previews the files/folders inside a selected .jar file. It is confusing to the user. Instead, these files should be handled as downloads only.

Preview files about xdw, xbd and xct in Box for iOS.
Please support xdw, xbd and xct files in Box for iOS.
Box for iOS can preview files supported by Box, such as PDF.
However, Box for iOS can not preview xdw, xbd and xct files (*1) for the following reasons.DocuWorks Viewer Light (iOS) (*2) implements Quick Look Preview Extension.
Thus, an app can preview xdw, xbd and xct files if the app implements QLPreviewController.
Although Box for iOS has already implemented QLPreviewController, previewing xdw, xbd and xct files are not supported by Box.*1)

Automate quarantining of infected files
While speaking with Box Premiere Support Team, it was stated that there is no current option/means to automatically place an infected file into quarantine. The file stays available and is up to the Content Owner/Site Admin to manually address the issue.
It would be nice to have a feature that automatically placed suspicious/infected files in a designated quarantine folder while it is being reviewed. This will eliminate the potential for someone to accidentally download the file and cause potential harm.
