  1. Add setting in "Group settings" that would allow users to remove themselves from a group

    Users could be presented with the option to remove themselves from a group when they try to remove themselves from a folder that they inherit through a group. This should only be available if the group settings allow this behaviour.

    It would be beneficial to have a warning message which shares what other folders will have access revoked.

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We will revisit this feature request as we see more demand from customers.

  2. Add an internal validation link for EMM instances

    Current state: once an EMM instance has been set up, the IC/CSM sends the public ID to the customer. The admin is then responsible for applying the public ID and validating that it works.

    Request: Add a validation link for instances with an API URL, username, and password for the CSM to validate that the credentials are accurate, and provide an accurate error message (e.g. username/password invalid).

    Calls will not work without management IDs sent from valid devices.

    We’d have to work with the EMM providers on a workaround, however there would be security concerns with the ability to successfully ping an EMM server without a managed device.

  3. Want client document checklist for uploads

    Sharefile has a checklist feature which is really important for audits. If we need certain forms, we want an easy checklist that will notify both the internal and external party which form is missing.

  4. Support for UNC paths in Box For Desktop

    We require UNC paths instead of local paths to be supported by Box Drive. Today - we're leveraging WebDAV, which is less than ideal.

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

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  12. Move Custom Footer + Custom Support Info Back to Footer, Not '?' Icon

    In the Legacy UI, the Custom Footer and Custom Support Contact Info (as configured in Enterprise Settings -> Custom Setup) both appeared (logically) in the actual footer of the webapp.

    In the new UI, these items were moved into the '?' that's actually in the header.

    REQUEST: Move these items back to the footer - or at least the Custom Footer fields - likely in the bottom left of the webapp when the left sidebar is expanded.

  14. Ability to output a list of all collaborators via API

  15. Managed user differentiator other than domain

    Different attribute outside of domain to determine if truly a managed user. We have different orgs that share email domains but are truly are different orgs with different budgets and approvals. Our org does not want to pay for other users that are not within our organization.

    This is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  17. Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive

    Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive

    The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.

    REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  18. Error message when trying to preview a password protected file is not clear.

    When trying to preview a password protected file in Box, our users receive the message: "We are sorry, the server encountered an error while processing your documents, "which dos not really explain the nature of the problem (i.e., no explanation as to why it cannot be opened).

    When trying to open with Excel Online, the error message is for them slightly better as it mentions that the file is encrypted and that they should follow-up with the author), yet does not explain how to open (with Box Edit via local app, or to download and later upload).

    We would like…

  20. Role based permissions or more granular permissions on groups

    Ideal is a role based permission where you can select individual folders, people, and files that users have access to as well as admin permissions.

    Other option is to add more granular permissions for groups.
