Box AI does not recognize text in image-based PDFs
Thank you for releasing Box AI for free.
I am currently using Box AI with the feature enabled. It successfully recognizes text in document PDFs and image files (PNG, JPG, etc.), but it does not recognize text in image-based PDFs.
When I take a screenshot of the content in an image PDF and save it as an image file (PNG, JPG, etc.), Box AI is able to recognize the text. This suggests that the issue may be related to the file format.
If Box AI could also recognize text within image-based PDFs, it would greatly improve usability. I would appreciate…

Enable Reliable Exports for Large amount of Content
When there’s a large amount of content, the folder and file report export gets canceled. Please make it possible to complete the export.
If exporting everything at once is difficult, splitting is fine—please allow selecting multiple folders and batching the export instructions.
大量のコンテンツがあるとフォルダとファイルレポートの出力がキャンセルされてしまいます。最後まで出力できるようにしてほしいです。
すべてを一括で出力するのが難しい場合は、分割でも構いません。複数のフォルダを選択して、出力指示をまとめて実行できるようにしてください。10 votes -
Make Folder Auto-Delete Retry Past-Due Items
Please improve Folder Automatic Actions so that folders with a deletion date in the past are also included in later auto-delete runs.
Currently, if deletion fails on the scheduled date for any reason, the folder remains undeleted afterward.
Requested change:
configured deletion date = processing date
→ configured deletion date <= processing date
This would make auto-delete more reliable even when processing is missed due to maintenance or a temporary issue.【In Japanese】

フォルダの自動削除で期限超過分も再処理されるよう改善してほしい＜本文＞
フォルダの自動削除機能について、削除予定日を過ぎたフォルダも後続の自動削除処理の対象になるよう改善を希望します。
現状は、指定日の削除処理が何らかの理由で失敗した場合、その後も削除されず残ります。
要望する変更内容：
設定された削除日 = 処理日
→ 設定された削除日 <= 処理日
これにより、メンテナンスや一時的な問題で当日の処理が実行できなかった場合でも、後続処理で削除できるようになり、自動削除の信頼性が向上します。3 votes -

Default Search Everywhere
While I understand the need to search only in a folder, my company uses the search everywhere function way more.
Is there a way to make the search "everywhere" option the default instead of search "only in this folder"? It slows us down so much right now having to switch it to find a different folder without going back to the home page, or switching the search feature.

Limit file naming to match Windows and iOS Requirements
Box allows special characters in file names that Windows and iOS do not. This causes an issue when we sync files between Box and our network server: Box will accept special characters when naming or renaming a file on the Box side - but when that syncs back to our servers - the file name contains bad characters that windows doesn't recognize - so the file doesn't sync.
Please limit your file naming to disallow the same special characters as Windows and iOS.

Make login box for SSO configurable
When a Box environment switches to SSO Test Mode, the login dialog box changes so that it has two buttons: "Continue" and "Not part of <org name>." This is confusing to users - they may not know IT is testing SSO, and not know what to do to access Box at that time.
If those two buttons' labels were configurable, admins could replace that text with something clearer to their users, such as "Click her to log in with Microsoft credentials" and "Click here to log in with Box username and password."

Provide watch list for anomalous downloads
I would like shield to have a watch list of people they know are going to leave the company within the next 30 days. I want to be able to tell if someone on that list starts downloading a large number of files during that 30-day window so they can immediately cut off their access.

Share screen when clicking "Copy Link" is redundant and annoying
Having the share screen pop up when I copy the link of a file in finder is redundant and annoying. If I want to share the file via invitation I will click the share option right above it. I am choosing to copy the link for a reason.

Please remove the files and folders from the Collections page

Enable Device Trust for Co-Administrators as Well
Under the current specification, device trust is not applied to administrators and co-administrators to prevent them from being accidentally locked out of the management console.
Because co-administrators have higher privileges than regular users, they can freely access the console from personal PCs and other unmanaged devices, which raises concerns about the risk of information leakage.
From a security perspective, we would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows administrators to choose whether to apply device trust to co-administrators (“enable” or “disable”).件名：共同管理者に対してもデバイストラストを適用可能にする
内容：現状の仕様は、管理者・共同管理者は誤って管理コンソールからロックアウトされないために、デバイストラストが適用されません。
共同管理者は一般ユーザーより強い権限を持つため、私物PCなどから自由にアクセスできる状態となっており、情報漏えいリスクを懸念があります。
セキュリティの観点から、デバイストラストを共同管理者にも適用を"する" or "しない" の選択可能となる機能の実装を要望します。1 vote -
Report on Auto‑Confirmation Issue During Japanese Input When Using Bulleted Lists (BoxCanvas)
I am using BoxCanvas and would like to report an issue related to text input.
After starting a bulleted or numbered list, if I type double‑byte characters and the IME enters the pre‑conversion state, the text is automatically confirmed and I cannot input it correctly（At that time, I was using Japanese input）. This behavior has already been resolved in BoxNotes.The pace of improvements to BoxCanvas, BoxNotes, and other features has been remarkable. I appreciate the Box team’s continuous efforts and look forward to future enhancements.

GET RID OF THE DIALOGUE BOX THAT POPS UP WHEN YOU COPY AND SHARE A LINK
This is the biggest waste of time and has inhibited my workflow. Not only is it adding extra work, the fact that there is no way to turn it off is unimaginable. Fix this asap.

I want a feature that hides the toolbar displayed at the bottom of the PDF or image preview screen
When you move the mouse pointer off-screen, the toolbar disappears, but it can sometimes get in the way when explaining materials with the pointer, which is inconvenient. I would like a feature to hide the toolbar or move it.
タイトル：

マウスポインタを画面外に出すとツールバーは消えますが、資料をポインタで指示して説明する際に邪魔になることがあり不便です。

A save and continue button in Box Forms.
Save and Continue Option for Box Forms.
For longer forms this will allow users to start the form but then come back later to finish it.
We have an existing online form that has several input text fields and document upload fields.
Due to the length of the form, all of the submitters use the Save and Continue option that is available on our current form.
We want to convert this form to a Box Form but this one feature is a huge limitation for our users so we will not convert until this added feature is available.
I think…

Create folders during file moves or copies
Create folders during file moves or copies:
User pain point: When moving or copying a file, users cannot create a new destination folder directly from the move/copy dialog. They have to cancel or leave the action, create the folder beforehand, and then restart the move or copy process.Requested improvement: Add a “Create New Folder” option within the move and copy dialog, allowing users to create the destination folder without interrupting their current action.
Expected benefits:
- A smoother, more intuitive user journey
- Fewer unnecessary steps
- Time savings for users
- Improved overall experience when organising files.1 vote -
Groups with external users: Allow external email addresses to be added to a group
Groups with external users: Allow external email addresses to be added to a group, making it easier to invite external agencies and grant them access to files. The goal would be to create a group for users from the same agency, including users with free Box accounts.

Display full file name on mouseover
We have very long file names where file prefix can be 40 characters the same. In Box Web GRID view it's impossible to differentiate between the files without opening them. In list list view it's almost as bad. The file naming is set by customer policy and we cannot affect that.
Add a mouse over popup for files to show the whole file name for Box Web.

Box AI support for all spreadsheet tabs
Currently, Box AI only reads the first sheet of an Excel file. We would appreciate it if this could be expanded to cover the entire workbook (all tabs).

Align page numbering between Box browser preview and desktop app for PPT files
When previewing the same PPTX file in a browser versus opening it in the desktop app, the page numbering differs. The browser preview counts the cover page as page 1, while the desktop app does not count the cover page (the page after the cover becomes page 1).
PowerPoint itself has a setting to exclude the cover page from the page count, but Box's preview feature does not support this setting, causing a one-page offset between the two views.
This creates confusion in practice — for example, a reviewer referencing "page 35" based on the browser preview may find it…
