  1. More SSO Granularity

    It would be great if we could have more granularity with SSO rules instead of just applying them universally. Having something like an SSO admin account that can log in with credentials and set SSO to test mode when an identity provider outage happens would be ideal. Right now the only option to recover login access when an identity provider outage occurs is to submit a support ticket and hope for a timely response.

  2. Increase the maximum message size in Update task API to more than 250 chars

    Calls to the Box Task API with a message size greater than 255 chars throw an error a statusCode 500 error.

    The relatively small maximum for message size limits the utility of the API and is not in line with the Box UI that allows a very large message to be input.

    API Call details:

    url: https://api.box.com/2.0/tasks/task_id
    method: PUT
    data: "{message: <greater than 255 characters>"}

  7. Box File Request - Limit number of files and/or file type for upload zones

    When creating a file request for a folder, we would like to have the ability to limit the number of files able to be uploaded in an upload zone from the standard 500 uploads. It would also be ideal to limit the type of files that are able to be uploaded. For example, if we wanted a customer to upload document x in pdf format, we could use these limitations to ensure they upload in the correct format and all in one file, instead of uploading 20/30 png photos of the document we request. While we can provide guidelines on…

  8. RELAY Notifications

    Relay can alert on new collaborators to a folder. Relay cannot distinguish external vs managed user. It would be a plus if on certain folders you can choose to ignore if the collaborator is a managed user. So only alerts for external collaborators get sent.

  9. Improvements to Content Insights export & report automation

    Hello,

    Currently, one of our primary uses of box.com is for shared link file preview and download reporting (in our case for required analytics for grant based reporting). The file level 'Content Insights' feature is very helpful for this. However, the current .csv export offered in the content insights feature is lacking some of the key data that is available in content insights detailed preview, specifically for us the location & IP address data presented.

    Additionally, scheduled automation of a content insights report would be very helpful. We have mostly created this feature by customizing the 'User Activity' admin report,…

  10. Increase Upload File Size Limit

    Currently, the Upload File Size Limit for Enterprise Plus is 150 GB. The ask is to increase this upload limit, ideally up to 1 TB.

    We have raised our file size limit to 500GB for customers with the Enterprise Advanced plan, and are evaluating further enhancements in the future, but we do not have any changes planned in our near term roadmap at this time.

  11. Expand Capabilities for Adding External Collaborators to Relay Tasks/Notifications

    Currently, a user can only add an external collaborator to a Relay Task/Notification if the following are true -

    • The user owns the content
    • The user has added the external collaborator to content
    • The user has to have less than 5,000 external collaborators on items they own

    Many customers have a closed folder structure, where one admin user owns all content, so this admin user would be the only one who can create the workflow with external collaborators added to tasks/notifications. For large organizations especially, this is difficult to administer and maintain, so ideally even users who do not own…

  12. Pre-Selecting item on new list view & grid view

    Previousely list view was shown information in the right pane by ジュst only selecting an item with the cursor like a Stepping stone.
    You can't do that with the new UI.
    Check >shown > Uncheck >move next item> Check next >shown>Uncheck....and more...
    it's not speedy action.
    We know that pre-selected items by cusor↓↑key, move to checkbox using tab key then enter key, then check each item.

    But need keyboard shortcuts easier.

    Like a round robbin.

  13. Bulk edit folder settings in the admin console

    Grant the ability to bulk edit folder settings in the Admin Console. We recently made changes to our Enterprise folder settings. Updating these settings was not completely retroactive and did not propagate for all subfolders, resulting in either having to update folders individually or using the API. We would like the ability to have a feature for bulk editing folder settings natively in the Admin Console that can be retroactive and will propagate to subfolders.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  17. Create content "frames" in Canvas

    Add a "frame" option as a new structural element distinct from a shape. Frames would allow you to move all the content inside it, and when you zoom out on a board, the caption of the frames should display so you can easily see all the frames and what they're about.

  19. Prevent items with restricted movement from being moved on the Box Drive display

    If "Do not allow ownership of content to be transfered to external users" is enabled in the tenant settings, content cannot be moved to external tenants by users other than the administrator.

    However, when content is moved in Box Drive, although it is not actually moved, it appears on the display as if it is stored in the destination folder, and it does not return to the original folder until the user logs out/logs back in to Box Drive.

    Content whose movement is restricted by Classification Policies will immediately return to the folder in which it was originally stored, both…

  20. Have a better way to show 'Full File Paths' for 'subfolders' in the web-app

    Since people can be invited to folders that have the 'same name' it can be hard to identify in your 'All Files' view which folder is in which account.

    Since you don't want to accidentally drop files in a folder that is shared with people outside your organization or vice-versa, it would be helpful to have a better way to identify which folder is from which account / directory structure.

    For now the recommended guidance is to have the full file path of you directory structure in the sub folders so personnel can see which sub folders are from which…
