  2. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

    The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
    It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
    We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
    Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
    Please improve performance.

    「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

    Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
    操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
    Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000~2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
    上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
    性能改善をお願いします。

  3. Ability to preview contents of the files contained in the zip file

    Box can list all the folders and files contained in the zip file, however it doesn't allow us to preview the contents of each files contained in the zip file.
    We need to download the zip file to preview the contents.

    It would be better to have ability to preview the contents of the each files so that we can complete our work within Box.

  4. Improvements should be made so that folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled can be selected when selecting folders in Box Relay.

    When selecting folders in Box Relay, folders below the folders for which CAN VIEW PATH is enabled cannot be selected.
    The only current workaround is to disable CAN VIEW PATH or search for lower level folders in the folder search, which is inconvenient because many similar folders are picked up and it is necessary to open each folder one by one, so we would like to see an improvement so that lower level folders can be selected even from folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled.

    <CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダをBox Relayのフォルダを選択する際に選択できるように改善してほしい>
    Box Relayのフォルダを選択する際CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダの下層のフォルダが選択できません。
    現在の回避策としてはCAN VIEW PATHを無効化するかフォルダ検索で下層のフォルダを検索するしかなく、類似するフォルダが多数ピックアップされてしまい、一個一個フォルダを開く必要があり不便な状態のため、CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダからも下層のフォルダを選択できるよう改善してほしいです。

  5. Enable to see full file name on ipad (especially)

    Please enable to see full file name on iPad. We usually name a file long name containing project name and code in order to manage files easier by project. But if do so, we couldn't see full file name by using iPad since the view is similar to the web. This situation is worse for construction field and we hope it will change like moblie view(iPhone's view).

  6. Retention Policy blocking trash

    Currently end users can move contents to trash even if it is under retention policy, I would like retention policy to also block users to send content to trash.

  7. Apply retention policy to both metadata and folder

    Currently you can only select metadata or folder when applying retention policy,
    I would like to set the retention policy up by applying both metadata and folder.
    This way I can restrict the specific content by narrowing down the files within the folder that has a specific metadata.

  8. Allow users to click outside of the Refresh File pop-up box without having to click Cancel or Ok

    Currently you can't do anything on the screen without clicking one of the options on the Refresh File pop-up box that appears after editing. 90% of the time, I'm trying to leave that screen and I don't need to see the updated version because I just edited it. If that box could disappear if I click anywhere on the screen, that would be ideal.

  9. Box for Office Logs

    Log files are stored with annoying date stamp format. Log files should be stored like BoxExcelLogDate.txt rather than BoxExcelLog.txtdate.

  10. Box Drive client should fall back to attempt direct connection if proxy fails

    In short, if Box Drive sees a proxy and attempts to connect via the proxy but that fails, it should fall back and attempt a direct connection before failing completely.

    I experienced this on Windows. Not sure if it would apply to other OSes or not.

    The specific details...

    I'm in a Corporate environment with a laptop. When our laptops are on the corporate network, we do go through a proxy. But when off of the corporate network, like working at home, it doesn't use the proxy. We use an auto-config proxy .pac file to control the proxy on and…

  12. Box Uploader should be also listed as the Box File Owner

    It is frustrating to see that the Owner of a Box Folder structure, is listed automatically as the Document Owner. Can this be changed to reflect the Owner as the person who uploaded the file instead. So if there are any questions on files, it goes to the right person, rather than to a Box Folder Owner who actually would have to field and re-direct as appropriate which is not ideal.

  13. 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

  14. 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。

  16. Too many clicks to share files + see download activity!

    I'm finding it inconvenient that, to share a link once it's uploaded in the web interface, I have to click "Create & Copy Shared Link", then click "Link settings", then click "Copy", then click "Save", then click the X to close the window. That's five clicks just to grab the direct link. It may not seem like much, but it adds up - and I could have sworn it was a faster, more efficient process in earlier versions of Box years ago.

    Not only that, but the recent change to the layout of the web interface in terms of seeing…

  17. Select and Download Individual Files from Zip File Preview

    The ability to Preview Folders within a zip file exists, however, you cannot click on individual files. It would be nice to be able to select the individual files from the zip file preview and then download the selected files.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

    Show uploaded files in the recent page.

    I do have cases that I want to view the files I uploaded recently. However, if I uploaded a file without previewing, it doesn't come up the list.
