  3. Get Notification on upload

    Currently owner of the folder alone will get notifications when a file is uploaded. We have a requirement for the uploader of the file to get notification as well so that it will serve as an acknowledgement for the upload

  4. *.jar files should not be opened like *.zip files

    I sometimes share software patches with customers via Box. The files are often .jar... This is the file extension for Java Archives, which are a type of .zip format. However, unlike .zip, they are not intended to be opened by users. The Box interface (desktop at least) previews the files/folders inside a selected .jar file. It is confusing to the user. Instead, these files should be handled as downloads only.

  5. Allow group administrators of SSO-enabled tenants to change the email addresses of group members

    According to the information provided by following link,
    group administrators are authorised to change the email addresses of managed users.

    *
    Link:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043692374

    Manage group member accounts:
    Edit non-admin user accounts in the Managed Users tab, including user name, email, storage, and settings.
    *
    In the case of tenants using SSO,
    only the administrator and co-administrator can change a managed user's email address.

    In this case, the group administrator cannot change the email address of the group member.

    However, in a tenant with a very large number of users,
    it is very difficult for the administrator/co-administrator to complete all the…

  6. Ability to open password protected files from mobile devices

    Until a few weeks ago, password protected files could be opened through the mobile app from a mobile device. Now the attempt to open a password protected file results in an error of "Decryption failed. (null). Password protected files cannot be opened from mobile device from m.box.com or www.box.com either (error is different). Seems to defeat purpose of cloud based storage since so many users depend on a mobile device to open view files from Box storage.

  7. notifications group

    Allow users to set per-group notification preferences. My work recently created several umbrella groups that contain 100's of people and these groups get added as collaborators to announcement type documents. These documents generate a lot of noise with comments, etc. Now I have to choose whether to get flooded with notifications or turn them off. I would prefer to disable notifications of just the documents associated with these big umbrella groups, not the notifications for documents to which my account has been specifically added as a collaborator.

  8. Bulk Add someone as a co-owner to existing folders

    Make a way to bulk add someone to multiple existing folders in Box as a co-owner. This stems from if you want to make someone a co-admin so they can assist with existing folder creation/access for newer employees of your company you would have to add them to a folder individually to achieve this. If you have many folders this would take a long time as a manual process so a bulk add would make it that easier to do.

  10. Box Capture File Name

    I want the file names of Box Capture pictures to be "date and time" instead of "date and sequential numbers", just like when shooting with the Box app.
    Example:
    Box Capture: "2021-01-11_001.jpg"
    Box (Take Photo or Video): "Image 2021-01-11 14.00.00.jpg"

    Currently, the file names conflict and the files become messed up order, especially when several people share a folder and take pictures.

    I would appreciate if you could improve it.
    Thanks.

  12. Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)

    Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)

    The collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console) seem to treat inactive users differently, and the group page intentionally excludes inactive users and only includes active users.
    The Collaborators list page in the web app does not.

    Please consolidate the handling of inactive users as this specification is confusing to users and to administrators.

  13. sync to a RAID

    Our global video team need a cloud solution that can be saved to our external RAIDs. We need to store and access TB's of footage. Desktop hard drives are no large enough.

    We could potentially use the older 'Box sync', but we understand that it is due to be phased out, and it does not support selective offline/online syncing, which we need.

  14. don't show files till all the files are uploaded

    I often send files to coworkers and I dislike that the file is downloadable to them before it's actually fully downloaded to box. This ends up creating a corrupt/ non-workable file for them. Also I think the files should not show up on their end before all the files are completely downloaded, in batch uploads because I will have coworkers then say only some of the files are downloaded and it looks like a mistake when it's just still uploading. Thanks!

  17. Upgrade Box Drive-G Drive 100 MB Limit Size Limitation

    I have a ticket number - #2250687 that has been closed because we need a feature request. When a file is created in Google Docs via Box, most of our users at Apeel keep having issues making changes, saving, sharing or downloading files.
    What happens is Google makes edits to the file, the file grows larger than 100 MB, Google then fails to send those changes to Box. While this scenario is not desired it is technically expected; because of the Google error, Box is unable to receive new information and update the file size or content.

    Please upgrade your…

  18. Error message when sharing due to inclusion of URL in message

    When sharing a file or folder, the optional message will trigger an error if the user includes a URL in the message text. Instead of just validating the message body in context, the validation cancels the entire sharing popup interface and all of the email addresses that the user carefully entered and the entire message body that the user carefully crafted is lost. Why not just prompt the user to not type a URL and leave the sharing popup interface intact for correction? Also, an email address included in the message body is apparently considered a URL, which is not…

  19. Allow default to full screen view on iPad horizontal view (like portrait view)

    I like to view box in full screen and because I use landscape view often, I have to hit the double arrow every time I go to a page. In portrait view it automatically goes to full screen view. I'd like an option to automatically go to full screen in landscape.

  20. Increase Google file size limitation >100MB

    Please have Google increase File Size Limitation over 100MB.

    Google currently has a file size limitation of 100 MB. In our workflow 1. Doc is created in Google Slides. 2. Once finalized, that doc becomes a template (>100MB) where it is shared across the entire company. 3. Once other users begin to make changes or try to make a copy to that template, they all get the Unsaved Changes message, due to Google's owner of the file size limitation. Google then fails to send those changes to Box.
