  1. Add ability to query if a user is under Legal Hold via API

    Currently, Legal Hold objects have assignments, and if you get information about the assignments via the API you could see if a user was assigned to them.

    However, we want to access it from the user perspective - something like an islegalheld field on the user object.

  2. Ability to control what file information is visible when viewing file list

    Some users have mentioned that it is more important to them to see the entire file name rather than have it truncated and see the timestamp and other details. The ability to choose what is visible on this page might be one way to resolve this.

    This is an intentional design decision. We will re-evaluate with additional user feedback.

  3. Attach files from Box mobile app and not Files app.

    Since the introduction of the Files app, it is impossible to access Box from an email except through the Files app.

    If you are telling me that, post-Files, it will be impossible to attach a document from Box to an existing email chain, so be it. But that is an impediment to using Box as our mobile document management system.

    Thank you for your feedback! You should be able to access Box via the Files app integration in other apps. Contact Support with any questions.

  4. Password Change Prompt on Mobile Login

    If an end user must reset their password (either mandated by admin or enterprise settings), we would like that notification to appear when the user tries to log in on the mobile app

    We would also like a notification when the password is going to expire (i.e., your password will expire in 7 days)

    We will re-evaluate this request based on additional customer demand.

  5. Allow users to have over 100 group associations.

    Many of our users are a part of over 100 groups in their AD, but Box won't add these users to these groups because Box has a group membership limit of 100 groups per user.

    We would recommend you consider using an API-based integration to import Groups into Box rather than the SAML approach for a better user experience.

  7. Bounceback sent to admin when they send an email to noreply@box.com

    When a comment is added to a file in Box a notification is sent to an end user from the email "noreply@box.com" If that recipient then replied to the email would the bounce back of being "undelivered" be controlled by Box or the admins email?

    End users are currently not receiving a bounce back email and therefore unaware their comments are not being delivered so our admin is missing out on comments.

  8. Show number of unread notifications on left menu bar

    In the past, users were given the number of unread notification they have on the left menu bar. This has now been replaced by a red badge. We would prefer to have the number display so it is more accessible.

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  11. Quarantined Files - View Folder Path

    Currently an admin looking at the Quarantine section of Content Manager is not shown any information about where the file was attempted to be uploaded, which is also where the file will exist if the admin clicks 'restore' (approves) the file.

    REQUEST: Provide location information for quarantined files such as the folder path, owner, uploader, etc. This information is already in the policy violation email that's sent to admins, so it should also be available in Content Manager.

    We are not currently making any vast improvements on quarantine in the short term. This is still helpful. We will reconsider it when working on this feature area.

  13. Show Folder Size in 'Size' Column (In Addition to Item Count)

    The webapp currently has a 'Size' column that shows item count for Folders, and item size for Files.

    REQUEST: For consistency, show both Item Count AND Size for Folders (not just Item Count).

  17. Folders inside of Box folder should respect global folder view settings (e.g. icon size, etc.)

    This is a known limitation of Box Drive (as documented here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues-and/Windows-Specific-Known-Issues-nbsp-for-Box-Drive/ta-p/37355, issue #3).

    We have all of our users experiencing issues with finding content & adopting Box as a result of this issue.

    Please prioritize this as it affects 100% of our employees. Thank you!
