  5. Default new collaborators to Viewer (or any level) rather than Editor.

    If they want the Collaborator to be an Editor, the inviter needs to physically make that change from a dropdown when inviting.

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned.

  6. Convert Email Attachment to Box Link when forwarding email

    When a file (not in Box) is received by email, the user would like to forward it along as a Box link, rather than a file itself.

    It is cumbersome to download the attachment, then upload it to Box, generate a link, and forward the email with the newly generated link.

    Ideally, I would like a button in the email app (Outlook or Gmail) that allows me to forward email and convert attachment(s) to shared links.

    Thank you for the suggestion! We will monitor this request for additional demand. For now, it is not planned.

  7. Customize location of new Box Note upon creation

    Users shall be able to create a new box note while navigating through folders and have this note save back to the current location within their account.

    User shall be able to create a new note from a template, and have it save back to the folder they are navigating in.

    Currently, when notes are created via web app, they are saved back to a "My Box Notes" folder. This is not always useful, especially when using templates. Templates are likely to be reused by users and saved in multiple folders, not in a single Box Notes folder.

  8. Ability to preview a locked file (locked by an outside program, i.e. Excel) in the iOS app

    Currently, opening a locked file in the webapp will give you the option to download, at which point Excel asks for a password.

    The iOS app does not show an error message that the file is locked by another program, and users cannot open or preview the file.

  10. Direct Integration with the Microsoft Project Desktop & Online Apps

    Users using these applications would like to leverage a native Box integration (similar to what already exists in Word/Excel/PowerPoint via Box for Office and the native Box for Office Online integrations).

  11. Allow folder permissions / account permissions to be copied to another user.

    We hired a new admin. As an executive, I want my admin to have access to all files I have in my Box account.

    Is there a way to copy his access to the new admin?

  12. Display folders owned by outbound collaborator when Admin instant login to managed user account

    When Administrator instant login to managed user's account, it is not possible to see the shared folder from outbound collaborator. It makes it difficult for Administrator to monitor activities on outbound collaborations.

    It is not required to allow Administrator seeing anything, but if they can at least see folder name and owner for outbound collaboration it could benefit Administrator

  14. Reports: Replace User ID in the Legal Hold Report with User's Email

    In the current Legal Hold report export (Excel file), users are referred to by their User ID (e.g., 123233124) which isn't really helpful for an admin to identify 'who' that is.

    Using email address would be a much better field to include, either replacing the User ID field OR adding in Email as an additional column.

  15. Add permission that allows Group Admins to delete user accounts in their group and transfer content

    We want the option to give full granular account management capabilities to Group Admins, including the ability for Group Admins to delete an account or transfer data to another user.

    Without this, IT is still required to get involved for deprovisioning. They'd have the option to give this ability to Group Admins for their departments or groups as a granular permission

  16. Notifications on desktop and chrome notifications.

    Integrate Box notifications with the desktop notifications and chrome notifications. Windows 10, Apple Desktop Notifications. This would help with adoption as users are used to working within the desktop

  17. Ability for a folder owner to opt-out of email notifications when a collaborator shares or accepts an invitation

    An Admin owns all folders for the enterprise and she receives an email every time a collaborator invites another user to the folder, and then again when it's accepted.

    It caused a lot of noise in her inbox. Short of setting up an Outlook rule, the Admin would like to opt-out of these notifications.

    This would be helpful for enterprises whose admin's own the content, or at least root level folders for their users.

  18. Enable users to sign (not just send) with DocuSign

    Currently, you can only send a document to be signed, triggering an email to the signee. However, in other cases, we need to have specific forms or contracts signed on the spot, which is something the current integration with DocuSign does not support.

  19. Watermark on Download when user has View Upload rights

    We need users who have Viewer Uploader rights to always have a document watermarked on DL. According to the ACL, Viewer Uploaders download without the Watermark.

  20. Search - Allow searching of shared links to files/folders that you've clicked on

    Be able to conduct searches on shared links that you've clicked on. For example, files that are in a user's Recents but for which they are not a collaborator
