  1. Increase minimum characters required for password

    When making password requirement settings through the Admin Console security tab the range for minimum required characters only go up to 12. Can this be customised or increased to have more required characters than 12 up to 15?

  2. Short cut link for the file in Box Drive should be available

    Windows shortcut link for the file in Box Drive is broken if the BoxDrive cache is deleted. If the shortcut exists, the file in Box Drive should be opened as far as it exists.

  3. Allow for video to be inserted into Box Notes.

    I would appreciate the ability to embed videos onto Notes pages for easy viewing – on the page – by page visitors. Even video uploads aren't allowed.

  4. Add an admin console control to be able to turn on or off auto-accepting collaboration invitations

    Currently the ability to turn on or off Auto-Accepting Collaboration Invitations is only available from the user's settings (User Settings > Account Settings > Sharing). This would enable organizations to turn off auto-accept invitations on an instance-wide level.

  6. Add preferences dialog to Box Drive on Mac (e.g., hide menu icon, change shortcut key)

    Most Mac apps provide a preference dialog for key settings. For Box Drive on Mac, I would expect pressing ⌘, when Box Drive's search is active to open preferences, where I could optionally hide Box Drive's menu bar icon (the icon inside Finder's sidebar is all I need to see) or change the shortcut key for searching (in case ⌃⌥⌘Space conflicted with another app) or adjust the maximum disk space used by Box Drive.

  7. Ability for Reply to Box Shared Link Emails to be sent directly to sender

    When using the Box's Email Shared Link, there is no bounce back email or there is no way to track or reply to the email (the address has the name of the sender with a Box no reply email address).

    Request: Have email of the sender instead of the no reply box email address

  8. Identify "retention policy" as the deleter of content

    When an item is deleted by a retention policy, it just reads that "someone" deleted the item.

    We would like the ability for the deleter to be named as something more explanatory like "retention policy" so it is more easily identifiable during an audit.

  9. Hide admin from access stats when viewing/downloading content on legal hold

    We do not want users on legal hold to know that their content is being previewed or downloaded. We want to be able to "hide" their actions from the access status.

    not planned  ·  Stephanie Zhang responded

    We decided to add an external collaboration indicator within details sidebar to solve for indication of external sharing status as introducing colorized icons solely to indicate external sharing status would not be accessible.

  11. Sync Mac finder tags between users

    Box Sync doesn't sync Mac Finder tags. Box Drive doesn't support Mac Finder tag at all. Could be worth to better expose Box tagging into Box Drive

  12. Increase the number of search results

    Box Drive only returns 25 results, even though there are results more than that. The website returns more than Box Drive.

  15. Shared Links - Allow Linking to Specific Page of Document

    Example: SlideShare allows you to create a shared link that opens the slides up directly into a specific slide. In this case, slide 10: http://www.slideshare.net/kaz.goto/ss-65352833/10

    Box Use Case: I want to give you a link to a multi-slide/document file, but I want you to start on page 5 first.

  16. Apply retention policy to all existing content

    Currently with Governance, you have the ability to apply a retention policy to all new content. This policy does not touch any of the existing content within the domain. This is a large issue for an enterprise that wants to apply a single retention policy to the entire domain.

  20. Manage Quarantine Programmatically (via API)

    There is no way to manage the quarantine process programmatically. As a result, we must individually release / delete quarantined files via the UI.

    Given that the policies have a tendency to generate false positives, this process becomes very time consuming and difficult to manage and requires valuable IT time to click buttons (often for hours).

    At our scale, and since we opt to use DLP policies, it's impossible to manage.
