  1. Show File Quantity in Grid Mode

    When looking at your folders in grid mode, it would be nice to see the quantity of files in the folder without having to open the folder and select all files or going into list mode. I think it used to be like this but last time I looked I couldn't see the file quantities and it was a cumbersome process for me to figure out the quantity.

  3. Display folder path under file/folder listings

    For example, for a folder "Project 1" several levels down in the Box hierarchy, display the folder path under the folder name:

    Project 1
    All Files > Level 1 > Level 2 > Level 3 > Level 4

    The folder path would be in a font smaller than the folder name and a slightly muted colour compared to the folder name

  4. Please add the ability for multiple users to modify a single workflow.

    In some cases, such as long vacations, it is very inconvenient if only the workflow creator can perform maintenance.
    This function allows multiple people to edit the workflow, which leads to operational convenience and other benefits.

    (Japanese)
    「1つのワークフローを複数のユーザーで修正できる機能を追加してほしい。」

    長期休暇など、ワークフロー作成者しかメンテナンスを行えないと非常に不便なケースがあります。
    この機能の実装により、複数名で編集することが可能になるため、運用上の利便性等につながります。

  5. Password updates

    Login passwords currerntly enforce unnecessary format restrictions that are hindering the use of password generators. Characters < > cannot be used, and there also is a requiement to include at least two digits. Most hashing password generators use all printable characters (as they should), and ensure only the occurrence, but not the quantity, of character classes, i.e. 1 of each printable chartacter classes (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, special).

    Suggestion: allowing all printable characters and only requiring a minimum of 1 character from each intended class (occirrence only) would make Box login passwords compliant with the vast majority of hashing password generators…

  6. Default sort only savable from All files page

    The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default. When refreshing the page it goes back to the last sort that you used on the "All Files" page.
    Similar to other online file sharing platforms, when you change teh default sort to name or last modified it saves that sort for all other folders. On Box.com if you change the default sort to by last modified on the All Files page it then applies that as the default sort for all other sub folders. I found this bug with Box support after entering a…

  7. Be able to use Microsoft 365 for our mail server sending Box Sign

    We would like to use Microsoft 365 to send mail for Box Sign. The issue now is that some people get emails from Box and they'll block the domain in their spam filters. (Sorry Box) Most of our customers have our domain whitelisted. It would look more professional and we can manage it better.

  8. 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.

  10. Disable version history deletion for the entire tenant

    To comply with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Law, transaction documents are stored in Box, but there is always a risk that the files may be modificated with or deleted.

    File deletion and modification can be restricted by retention policies, etc., in addition to folder level of access.
    Deletion of version history can also be restricted by folder access permissions.
    However, users who have been granted editor or higher privileges can delete version history, and there is no other way to control this.

    Request the ability to control the deletion of version history in tenant settings.

    (Japanese)
    テナント全体でバージョン履歴の削除を無効にする

    日本の電子帳簿保存法遵守の為、取引関係の書類をBoxに保存しているため、ファイルの変更、削除されてしまうリスクが常に潜んでいます。
    ファイルの削除、変更の制限は、フォルダのアクセス権限以外にリテンションポリシー等で制限をすることができます。

    バージョン履歴の削除もフォルダのアクセス権限で制限できます。
    しかし、編集者以上の権限が付与されているユーザーはバージョン履歴が削除できてしまい、他に制御する方法がありません。

  12. Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
    According to the URL above,
    "Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."

    We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.

  13. Box Sign needs detail report that lists for each form status and recipient details

    Box Sign needs a new report that shows detail information like, the form/template name, date sent, recipient(s), status of form, date of last action on the form, who performed the last action, and if reminders were enabled when the form was sent. Ideally the report should have search criteria available on the form/template name, date range sent, recipient, status, and date range and performer of last action on the form.

  14. Download with Metadata

    I would like the option to download a file with its metadata added as a cover page.

    It wouldn't need to be formatted nicely, just anything that keeps the metadata easy to see once the file is downloaded.

  15. Allow the "Folder" column to be expandable when adding/modifying managed users in BOX

    When adding users or modifying a managed user, the 'Folders' column when you are adding folders is not expandable. You also cannot really widen the Administration window for Users and Groups in the Admin console.

    1) Can we make the Users and Groups section in the admin console wider? Or just as wide as my browser window?

    2) Can you make the 'Folders' column when managing or editing a user expandable so I can see the folder full name?

  16. Allow file locking when MS Office Coauthoring is enabled.

    Prior to MS Office Coauthoring, I could lock a file in Box, with would allow me to edit it normally, but it would be read only for anyone else.

    Since coauthoring, I can not open and edit files that I have locked. Support has let me know that this is just a limitation of coauthoring.

    The workaround is to move the file to a folder where only I have editing access, but that would require moving the file around to different locations.

    Would love the ability to temporarily lock files again. And if this isn't going to be (or can't…

  17. Column with type of update and badge if unseen by me

    I would like to see a column or some other means to see the type of update made to the file vs current view just showing the time and account that updated. Example: comment added, new version uploaded, edited, etc.

    It would be even more valuable to understand if I have seen the update, similar to "updated" icon on recents view page.

    Currently I have to reconcile by the updated time if the update is new to me which often typically requires going in to preview area to track changes manually, which can be difficult and tedious and sometimes impossible…

  18. Box Sign making a copy of the file should be optional

    Currently when using an already uploaded file to make a Box Sign request, it creates a copy of the file and adds a (1) after the name. For example "Document.pdf" becomes "Document(1).pdf", with both copies being included in the folder.

    This occurs in the use case where I have created a folder to share files & also requiring some of the files to be signed.

    Please make this an option to either create a copy or overwrite the existing file so that only one copy of the remains in the folder.

  20. Allow the custom renaming of a report before it's run

    All the reports have a standard name (i.e. useractivityrunon2022-11-01-14-38-28Page1) and there is no ability to create a custom name. As an admin we run more than a single report in an hour and that report may be associated with a user or file name we're searching for. We need the ability to be able to customize the report name that is relevant so we don't have 5-10 reports running that all start with useractivityrunon{date and time} for example.
