  2. Wants to find move operation from the source folder

    User Activity report searches the destination folder which the file currently exists. However in move operation, the customer wants to search not only the destination folder but also the source folder.

  3. Default Black ink for E-signatures in Box Sign – as required by The Crown

    It is imperative for Police Services throughout the UK to use Black ink ONLY when signing signatures for lawful documentation. I understand that there may be a need for other businesses to use purple/blue/red ink, however, within the Police and throughout the judicial process, any other colour than black ink will be rejected, which will lead to increase time an Officer or Investigators spend on obtaining signatures and investigating crime. Therefore, we require black ink, at the very least to be the default colour for signees.

  4. troublesome 'Saved' and 'What's New' button placement in Notes window

    The 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons in the bottom right corner of the Notes window are frustrating in their placement. As I write in Notes, these two buttons constantly obscure my text so that I need to stop typing and hit return several times to 'raise' my text in the Notes document away from those buttons . . . only to (several lines later) find myself in the same situation: the text I'm typing is hidden by the 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons. Surely there's a better way to display these buttons without obscuring where we type. Thank you.

  5. File preview could use "Preview As..." option

    Some people such as programmers use ".out" as a file extension for a text file. Although Box has done much work to support various filetypes in preview mode, Box does not offer a "Preview As Text" option as far as I can tell. It would be helpful to allow users to open files with "Open as text".

  6. Ability to easily update metadata template

    I have created and used a metadata template to comply with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Law, but it is complicated to input the metadata.
    We would like you to improve the functionality to make it easier to input the data.

  7. I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.

    In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

  9. Allow signers to propose changes to a document before signing

    As a signer, if I don't fully agree to the content of a document, I would like to propose changes to it before I sign. If the sender then accepts my change requests, the altered document would then already be signed by me.

  10. Ability to save entered text as an image.

    Fix the bug of saving entered text as an image.

    Based from our Webapp specialist, Box Sign documents are always saved as PDF. The text content can be copied, but not the fields that are filled out since those are images, not text.

  11. Real time progress of a file upload via box upload api

    When a direct box upload api is invoked, there is no way to know the real time progress of upload. It would be good to get real time progress from box to notify users about the same on our UI.

  12. API searches for a given folder name and creates a folder if not found

    In today's world , there is an api that searches for folder and if folder not found returns 404. There is a create folder api which returns 409 error if folder name exists.
    This leads tomaking multiple calls to box first to identify or know folder existence and then another call for creating a folder if not found.

    There is a need for api which does following

    Search for a folder given the folder name(input =folder name)
    if folder exists with such a name
    return folderId
    if folder does not exists with such a folder name
    create a folder with…

  13. Email-to-folder Security Concern - Need Visibility

    Need a report based on email-to-folder entries. Our cyber-security platform recently flagged a change in auto-forwarding to a Box email address (one of those cryptic folder addresses), but I cannot find the folder that contains the feature turned on. The User Activity Report has a column, "Details" that shows "Service: Email Folder," but I don't see our suspect folder listed. Maybe there have been no emails going there yet- but this is a security concern that needs clarification. Should be an easy report to build, the records exist in your database. Thanks.

  15. Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier)

    Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier).

    Today, configuring an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier) is all manual, and these should be able to be triggered by Box Smart Access (aka DLP) the same way that external collaboration can be automatically turned off for Box Smart Access.

    E.g. a document says "Secret Project XYZ," then by default only management can access files that contain this phrase.

    E.g. a document has bank account numbers on it, then by default only finance can access it.

    E.g. a document has social security numbers on it, then…

  17. If I move a file, let me leave a hint to the new location in the original folder

    When a shared file or folder is renamed and/or moved to a different folder, retain a hint in its original location that it's been moved so that "Search in folder" can helpfully inform that the file/folder has been moved or renamed, and provide a link to the new location. The user does not need to see the current name of the file, or its new location. When they follow the link, they access the file/folder according to how it's shared at its new location.

    An expandable "Recently moved" area in each folder could provide a compact list of files and…

  19. Ability to edit file request

    I created a file request with 3 different file request upload boxes (videos, images, quotes), but didn't know that users MUST upload something into the first box or they would get an error. It would be VERY helpful to either be able to edit a file request (so I can change it to just one upload box) or allow people to upload into ANY of the file request boxes.

  20. Remove greyed out options for editable shared links

    Remove greyed out options for editable shared links if the edit option has been removed from the enterprise settings. It causes end user confusion and would rather have it not be visible if the admin/IT/Security teams choose to not elect to have this available within enterprise settings.
