  1. Ability to scope Malicious Content Rules by User/Group/Shield Lists

    Currently malicious content rules apply to all users. To test moving from an audit/detection-only stance to enforcement, it would be useful to be able to create multiple rules that are scoped to specific users/groups/Shield Lists.
    This will allow us to keep most users in an audit/detection-only rule, while we test enforcement with a pilot group in another rule.

  2. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  3. An option to set a parent folder and all subfolders to "available online only"

    Currently, the default drop down menu allows for "Make available offline". This option applies to all sub-folders as well. This is great. After for working on various projects over many months I forget which projects were set to "Make available offline" and requires a lot of tedious and time consuming digging to find folders that were offline and then turn them off.
    It would be great to have the option for any folder regardless of previous settings to "online only".

  4. Please allow us to set the default sort preference for individual folders.

    It is very frustrating, that the folders all default to descending order by file name. This should be able to be set for each folder.

  5. launching office pop up box

    Can you add an option to tick a box 'do not show this again' for the launching office pop up. I have to shut this so many times a day and it's totally pointless for a regular user.

  6. Ability to use comments and annotation functions when previewing Office files such as Excel.

    I would like to be able to use the annotation and comment addition functions even in previews of Office products (Excel, Word, etc.).

  7. Ability to populate a metadata date field with current date

    We need to log when an approval has occurred. Populating the metadata date field with the current date would be very beneficial.

  8. Searching for names with & does not work

    Hi, we have a group called M&A - you cannot actually share any folders or files with this group through the traditional methods because searching for M M& or M&A does not produce the group on box.com

  9. Improve on Download log in the Activity Log

    Currently when trying to access to a file that does not have a collaboration right, it is registered as download in the activity report.
    I have heard the support team that this is expected behaviour due to the backend work to read the thumbnail.
    However, when looking at the activity log, it looks like a user has "downloaded" that file even though they do not have access to it so would like the report to not show "download" but something else to know that the user hasn't actually downloaded that file.

  10. Update Shield Access Policy Restriction for Box Sign

    For the Box Sign Request Restriction, add the option allow a signature request, but require additional security controls (e.g., signer authentication, password) for the signature request.

    We need the ability to send sensitive content for signature but don't want it sent using a public link.

  11. Concurrently list the EIDs of the sandbox and primary tenant in the “Enterprise ID” field in Account & Billing.

    We currently use several Box tenants.

    We have created a sandbox for each tenant, but we are having trouble confirming which sandbox is tied to which primary tenant.

    Please write the EID of the sandbox and the EID of the primary tenant together in “Enterprise ID” in the Administration Console > Account & Billing.

    <Example>

    Enterprise ID:123456 (Primary tenant: 456789)

    ■「アカウントと請求」の「Enterprise ID」欄に、サンドボックスとプライマリテナントのEIDを併記する

    現在、弊社では、複数のBoxテナントを利用しています。

    それぞれのテナントにサンドボックスを作成しているのですが、どのサンドボックスがどのプライマリテナントに紐づいているのか確認することができず、困ることがあります。

    管理コンソール>アカウントと請求 の「Enterprise ID」にサンドボックスのEIDとプライマリテナントのEIDを併記してください。

    <例>

    Enterprise ID:123456(プライマリテナント:456789)

  12. Use Relay to copy or move based on filename

    I would love to use box relay for a simple workflow. Is it possible to build a relay workflow that when a file is uploaded to a folder to look for a phrase in the filename and copy/move to a subfolder?

    Ex: Uploaded Filename contains the word "Home" -> Move to Home folder

    or Uploaded Filename contains the word "Work"-> move to work folder

  13. Enhancements to Box Search Results – both END-USERS & BOX ADMIN

    Export of Box Search Results to csv – END-USERS & BOX ADMIN
    Background:
    • There are two methods of searching content in Box, for end-users
    o Box Drive – limited information
    o Box Web – more detailed

    • Box end-user’s Web Search results, have two views
    o List view
    o Grid view

    • Box Admins have Content Manager to search for content

    Enhancements:
    o Both end-users and Box Admins search results should both be enhanced

    END-USERS Search Results:
    • Box search results should CONTINUE to:
    o exclude content in Personal user folders
    o offer existing filters, but include NEW filters…

  14. Folder tree order up side down when move/copy

    In folder view on Web Application, upper folder tree view is shown when working with deep folders.(left corner)
    The display order of this tree view and the tree view displayed when you "move/copy" a file are up side down.
    (where[...]mouse hober over)
    (Folder hierarchy ascending/descending order)
    So, when moving files, there is a possibility of causing a mistake in the destination.

    Normal folder view: 1st>2nd>3rd>4th>5th

    View on Move/Copy: 5th>4th>3rd>2nd>1st

    It's happy to be if it is a same display order.

    Most of users remain on Box Drive/explorer, for a transformation, we would like to recommend Box web application for users.…

  15. Ability to sync folders across multiple users

    My corporation has several regionally-controlled folders containing information that should be the same. Right now, that information has to be manually copied and/or reconciled to ensure the data is the same. I would like the ability to connect multiple folders from different users to ensure that the data is always synchronized across the regionally-controlled folders.

  16. Auto "Add Box to this Chat" in Teams

    With Box for MS Teams, you can use an App Setup Policy in Teams so the Box app always shows under your chat box so you can easily find it. With that, if you select it and choose one of the options for Upload or Share, you are then prompted to "Add Box to this Chat".

    Can that just be automatically added to all chats and channels?

  17. If you approve a document without signing it with BoxSign, the PDF will not become a signed file.

    I would like the PDF to be treated as a signed file even if a signature field is not used in BoxSign and a user with the role of Approver approves it.In some cases, a signature field may not be necessary because a log is kept even if approval is given.

    in Japanese
    BoxSignで署名フィールドを使用せず、役割が承認者となっているユーザーが承認した場合も、pdfが署名済みファイルとして扱われるようにしてほしい。

    承認した場合もログは残るため、署名フィールドが不要なケースもある。

  18. Unable to move Box files to new hard drive

    I added a larger, secondary drive to my computer, and I'd like to move the Box Drive and off line files to this second drive. This is because the C-drive is 90% full while the new terabyte drive is almost empty. I need to free up space on the C-drive. I was told "customizing the Box Drive folder does not change where Box Drive stores its app data or cached files, including items marked for offline use, so customizing the folder will not save disk space if you relocate the folder to another drive".

  20. If the parent company and multiple subsidiaries are using Box in separate tenants, I want to be able to manage them with one tenant.

    If we were to integrate a parent company tenant and multiple subsidiary tenants into one tenant, it would take a lot of time to migrate a large amount of data, and it would be difficult to parallelize business operations, which would be unrealistic.

    As an example, if the management is performed by the parent company's tenant, the purpose is as follows.
    ・User management is done by the parent tenant.
    ・Leave the data as is to multiple subsidiary tenants.
    ・like to see not only the treatment of different tenants as separate companies, but also a bracketing that makes them the same…
