  1. status completion report when copying a file to another folder

    Can we get a status completion report when copying a file to a new folder? Sometimes all the permissions don't copy over straight away, causing confusion. for example, I was unable to rename a file I just copied. I waited a while and then it worked.

  3. Update to Grid View No Longer Shows File Count

    The new update to Box has removed the file count from folders when looking at the browser version of Box in Grid view. This was not the case previously.

  4. Using folders:items is not recursive

    Running the command
    box folders:items [IDOFFOLDER] --csv --save-to-file-path=[PATHTOFOLDERTOSAVE_REPORT]

    To get a list of files and their respective SHA1 values is difficult as this command has to be run on each folder within the tree. There should be a recursive option, or better yet, a report a user can run to provide the SHA1 values within a tree. This is very important for eDiscovery and chain of custody.

  6. Gmail Integration: Allow Shared Links to Folders

    Currently, the Gmail integration only allows you to create a shared link to a file. However, some users need to send a link to a folder.

  7. Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements.

    Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements. Restricting permissions completely, cripples the automation system. Create additional permissions or permission groups to manage the Collaboration Space allotted to the client's business.
    The client will define the required permission for users, and they will own any responsibility for their resources on Box.
    We are performing automation using RPA, with limited access, unable to automate to maximum extent. Cannot be raising tickets with Box team for every activity that the bot cannot perform.

  8. Saving scanned documents

    It would be great if I could set a default folder for my scanned documents rather than having them just go into the main Box folder.

  9. API Call to return all items within the parent directory.

    It would be extremely helpful if you could call the box api to return a complete list of the existing directory in an account. For example, the call could return a json file that contained a usable layout of folders within folders, down to the individual file level. Automation for file operations could be built on this. It would remove the need to recursively call the API to get down to the lowest level of folders to find files.

  10. Box Sign import tool request for migrating content over from DocuSign I.E. metadata, saved PDF's etc.

    Implement a way for an import tool they can use to bring executable PDF's from their users on DocuSign to make it easier for maintaing some of these PDF's and metadata, or will he need to login to each user on DocuSign, download their user executed PDF’s and re-upload them to Box?

  11. Please improve the tasks upper limit 20,000.

    The following page says "Maximum number of Tasks per user: 20,000" and we know that if the number exceeds 20,000 tasks will no longer appear in the Tasks Inbox as an example.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695954-Adding-Comments-and-Tasks

    Please remove the upper limit or change it so that users can continue to use the Task after 20,000 without loss of convenience.

    下記のページに「ユーザーごとのタスクの最大数は20,000です。」とあり、20,000件を超えるとタスクの受信トレイにタスクが表示されなくなることを私たちは知っています。

  12. Accuracy of recognizing flicks and swipes in mobile previews

    For example, when previewing an Excel sheet with large rows and columns, the Box mobile app preview may mistake the user's swipe for a flick and terminate the preview.
    We feel this happens more frequently than in the native Office mobile app.
    Please improve it to detect the difference between a swipe and a flick a little more accurately.

  13. Workflow status report

    We would like to have a report that gives us insight into the status of Box workflows. We would like to be able to see the individual steps of a workflow and how long the individual steps take, for example, to see if and where a workflow is stuck.

  15. Information barrier - Increase segments

    Currently, Box ethical walls have a limit of 10 segments, Which needs to be increased. Many companies like us have more business units, Hence we need more segments to handle it.

  16. Need the ability for users to rename shared folders that will not affect the name for other users.

    Honestly the entire functionality of the shared folders within box could use an upgrade. We switched from Dropbox to Box because we thought it had more features and better for business, but it blows my mind that we could rename shared folders in Dropbox on a user level, and it does not affect other users that share the folder, but Box won't allow that? Make it very difficult for individual users to customize their folder structure and such in a way that works for them. It's way to restrictive.

  17. Associate Group with Shared Email Address

    In Enterprise User Management tools such as GSuite and Active Directory, it is very common to have a group specifically for Distribution lists or shared email inboxes.

    It would be helpful if, within Box groups, a group could be associated with such an email address.

    This email would be able to receive notifications when the group is granted access to a folder or assigned a task (another request I have seen).

    Important, this shared email address must not be associated with a system user account; otherwise a user seat would have to be used for the account, which isn't helpful.

  19. Enable Box Admin (Content) search results to populate full-width screen, and shown FULL path of content

    Having searched for a string " " in Box Admin/Content, the results for a folder do not show the FULL path of that folder, because the full path length is too long for the report width.

    I have been advised by Box Support that this is expected.

    I suggest that the report width should not be hard-wired (as is currently) to fit laptop-width. Instead, the folder path should wrap onto a new row, or if screen-size allows (eg external monitor), the full path is shown on the same row.

    It should also be possible for users to change the width…

  20. Box Pulse ideas - allow screenshots to be added BEFORE approval

    When someone takes the time to provide a Box Pulse idea, it is invariably done at the time that an issue occurs. However, by not allowing screenshots to be added (until after approval), the opportunity to receive valuable screenshots justifying the change/enhancement is often lost, as it may be difficult/impossibly to return to the same situation/location to take new screenshots later. Allow screenshots to be added before approvals
