  1. allow Box Drive to be installed on only one profile of a computer, not all by default

    I have Box Drive installed on my profile of my laptop, which causes issues when my partner logs into his profile - Box Drive tries to open and then hangs, causing delay for him to log on every time. I stopped it from opening on start-up but this change was applied to both profiles, meaning it is now slower for me to get into Drive on my profile.
    I have reported this to Box Support and was told this was the default for Box Drive, that it runs on start up for all profiles and the only way to disable…

  4. Organize feed by chronological updates

    Now that the Updates tab doesn't let you go back further than 24 hours, you should be able to check the "Feed" and see all previews/downloads/etc going back in time. Right now it's all organized in a seemingly random fashion and it's unhelpful

  5. collections folder is cumbersome and awkward, very hard to use

    My favorites randomly auto populate in the left margin when I open box. My work efficiency is greatly affected by having to click on the collections folder and wait for a new screen then dig through the page to find the bookmark favorite that I want. The "old way" of displaying my favorites had no issues and the order in which my favorites were organized worked well for me. Please find a way to revert back to my favorites always being displayed in the left margin.

  7. When I use the option to hide the left sidebar, the toolbar icons at the top are duplicated, overlapping each other.

    This is an accessibility bug I think. I use large fonts on a Mac, and when I use Box in my Safari browser and use show/hide of the left sidebar, I wind up with double the top toolbar icons - overlapping each other, and only half are actionable.

  8. Add ability to allowlist unpublished apps in a Shield list or Access Policy

    Currently, the only apps that can be exempt from an Access Policy are published apps or custom JWT apps that have been approved in the Admin Console. There is a gap for unpublished OAuth apps that may need to be allowlisted from a policy.

  10. Set a password for the "People in Company" shared link.

    "People with the link" shared links can be set a password.
    We want to use this for "People in Company" as well.

    Some companies also require you to set a password when sharing items to company users.
    We believe that this feature will allow us to utilize Box even more.

    「リンクを知っている全員」の共有リンクには、パスワードを設定できます。
    これを「会社のユーザー」にも設定したい。

    会社によっては、会社のユーザーとアイテムを共有するときにパスワードを設定する必要があります。
    この機能により、Boxをさらに活用できると確信しています。

  11. Approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files

    We want to approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files.

    For example, I get an application for three files and I want to turn back only one of them, but as it stands, I need to turn back all three. The applicant has to choose three files again and re-apply, which is very time-consuming.

  12. Assign Relay task to person who completed previous task.

    If you create a task and assign it to multiple users, say Tom, Bill and Susan where only 1 person needs to complete it, I want to be able to automatically assign the subsequent task to the person that completed the preceding task. For example, if Susan is the person that completes task 1, I would want the subsequent task to be assigned to Susan only, eliminating Bill and Tom from the process.

  13. Distinguish FTP and FTPS in User Activity Report

    would like a way to distinguish the difference between FTP and FTPS traffic.
    The “details” column in the user activity report only shows the connection to “Box FTP Server”,
    but it doesn’t specify which protocol or port was used.

  14. Searching Sub-Folders

    We have a user that asked the eblow question. They are referring to Box Drive folders that have been marked for offline use, as well as those in the cloud:

    "I would like to see improvements in the Box Search capability within Windows Explorer. You cannot execute a search across sub folders within your Box Drive folder structure, only within the currently viewed folder. If I know what folder a file was in I have eliminated 90% of the reasons I need to search. I get the same search limitations for Cloud based folders and folders saved offline to my…

  16. Not have to manually focus box drive search

    With Box Drive, it used to be that when I press ctrl-alt-shift-b, I'd get the box popup with the search field focused with the cursor at the end of the last search I did.
    Something's changed that now the input field is no longer focused. Now I have to click on it to type.
    It used to be that I had to shift-home, backspace and then I could type a new search.
    Best case scenario is that the search field should already be focused with the text highlighted so that I can immediately type or press enter repeat the last…

  18. collaborate at "all files/root" level

    It would be nice if you could add a collaborator at the "all files" or root level, so that they would have access to any future folders created. For example we have folders created for each year and now we have to make sure we remember to add collaborators to the next years folder when it gets created. Versus if we had collaboration at the root level they would automatically be included when the next years folder is created.

  19. Can we connect our box account to Notion?

    Notion is a very helpful note application that provides components such as databases, kanban boards, calendars and reminders. It's very easy to use them as a task manager for teamwork. Our team like Box and put all our files on Box, but the function of Box Notes is a little bit limited. We have to use other apps to assign work and manage the tasks, but sometimes these tasks is related to some files. I hope Box can support the account connection to Notion or maybe add some more functions like @ member or task dashboard in Box Notes.
    Thank…
