  1. Ability to control what file information is visible when viewing file list

    Some users have mentioned that it is more important to them to see the entire file name rather than have it truncated and see the timestamp and other details. The ability to choose what is visible on this page might be one way to resolve this.

    This is an intentional design decision. We will re-evaluate with additional user feedback.

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  3. Expose Box Server Time for setting JWT exp claim within expected values

    Currently, there are a few different places that developers can use to sync the time of their requests which can lead to some confusion/issues with properly setting the exp claim when generating a JWT assertion.

    For example, pool.ntp.org offers up a time that's ~25 seconds ahead of epochconverter.com (where support currently suggests that folks sync their time from).

    Exposing the "current timestamp" somehow, or syncing up with a framework that allows users to be in sync with Box time will allow for fewer questions/issues with the JWT claims process.

  4. Suppress Notifications - Expand Scope to Suppress In-App Entries in the Updates Feed & Access Stats (for DLP & CASB Integrations)

    Services (like DLP and CASB partners such as Netskope and Skyhigh) that use the Content API to scan Box content have the ability to suppress email notifications that would normally be generated for various activity (such as downloads, etc.). This is great as the activity from these services should be transparent and not exposed to the end user.

    However, the Suppress Notifications header currently only applies to suppressing email notifications -- these entries for activity from these API-based services still are exposed in-app to end users on the Updates feed and in other locations such as Access Stats.

  5. Add a Webhooks v2 event trigger for restoring a file version

    If a file version is restored (via the webapp or API), there is no associated event trigger that captures this action. If an admin is monitoring a file for changes, no webhook is triggered for this action.

  10. Add "Box Web App" as the service name associated with webapp upload events

    Currently, User Activity reports (and Enterprise Events) for uploads triggered via the web app do not explicitly mention that the uploads were completed via the web app. Other actions, such as previews and downloads, include "Box Web App" as the service name within the event details.

  11. Support for setting the save location to hard drive directory such as "My Documents" instead of "My Documents/Box Sync"

    This would help save the trouble of having to re-map all of their computer programs save locations to a new Box Sync folder.

    As metadata usage is currently quite low, and because this is possible via the API, this is not currently planned for support within the Governance UI. We may reconsider with more customer feedback or higher usage of metadata.

  17. Open With: Disabling Office Online view for specific users

    We only want to disable for some of our users and not impact our entire company.

    If users use this option for documents created by content authoring application, they will not be able to properly edit these documents or view the correct content as the JavaScript API will not work at this time.

  20. Allow users to suppress problem items they do not have permissions to fix

    For example, you are a Viewer Uploader on a folder that contains restricted Windows characters.

    As a Viewer Uploader, you do not have permissions to rename the folder.

    Now, your BFD client will forever complain about this folder.

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. 

    We will be suppressing server-side problem item (files that cannot sync to Box Drive from Box.com) notifications starting in Box Drive v2.4 in an effort to reduce the noise while we work towards solving this problem in a better way.
