Ability to do a OR condition check between certificates and windows domain check in the Device Ownership requirement
Employees will have company provided laptops which will be on SE domains. Contractors or Bring your Own laptop crowd will receive security certificate through MDM solution and they would be able to access Box based on that. Pushing the certificate to all internal 100K+ laptops is a technical challenge.

Qs re: API and "is_external_collab_restricted" parameter
I believe that the API allows for updating the "isexternalcollab_restricted" parameter. However, the API documentation and example does not illustrate this. Would you kindly update the documentation on this?
If I'm wrong and adjusting this paramter via the API actually isn't possible, would it be possible to request this be available?
1 voteThis capability is available via API and our documentation now reflects that.See https://developer.box.com/reference/put-users-id/

New PowerPoint, Excel, Word from mobile
When on the app, it would be helpful to have the option to create a new PowerPoint, Excel, Word doc. It is a bit confusing to tell the user they have to open the Word app first and save it to the Box mobile app when you don't need to do that from the web experience.

Users without cell phones
I am attempting to build a Box app. In the app configuration pages, when I try to generate a public private keypair, I am required to enable two factor authentication. I don't have a cell phone, so when I attempt to enable, a code is sent to my land line and summarily vaporizes. So I can't enable two factor, I can't generate public/private key pair - summarily inconvenienced (to be nice). I need to use JWT. OAuth is not an option. In summary, two factor without a cell phone???????? Developers missed a scenario. Time to fix it.

Allow concurrent workflow steps
Currently, if a step in a user's workflow needs to get a response from multiple parties concurrently, this is not possible. For example, sending out marketing materials to multiple agencies at the same time and waiting for a response from all. At the moment, we would have to make this sequential whereby the second agency would receive a task only when the first agency has completed one.

Show full path in results when searching for content across the enterprise
For search results of files/folders are returned for longer folder paths (e.g. think 10 sub folders deep), the folder path in the UI is truncated to only show 3-4 folders deep so it does not display higher level folder or even the root folder of the structure. This makes content discovery within the folder owner's count much more difficult. Click on the results only bring your to the item in Content Manager and still doesn't give you the path information. A solution would be to have the option to click a more info option which displays the full folder path…

Box now sends reminder emails 24 hours before a task is due, as well as one when the task is overdue.
We may consider adding more granular controls in the future, based on feedback.

Make Classification One- Step/Right click for end users
Governance + Webapp
We would like to have a simpler way of adding classifications. Currently, users have to click into the document, then click details, then add classification tag on the bottom. We would like to have a simpler way such as adding Box Governance options to the "More Options" drop down menu
