New Box File Request Experience

April 23, 2020

The File Request experience in Box is getting an addition: the ability to build a structured content-intake form. This allows you to request files and collect metadata directly in Box from anyone, even those without a Box account. 
 
The upcoming enhancement allows you to: 

  • Build a structured intake form with one or more drag and drop areas
  • Solicit additional information with metadata form fields, which can be set as required/optional
  • Enable extra security and tracking with link settings

Important note on default settings
Box plans to make this available in U-M Box beginning on May 7. By default, users who have editor permissions or above on folders will be able to create File Requests.
