  1. Support for MacOS Finder Tags (the colored dots) in Box is Needed

    Under Catalina and before Finder Tags worked the same on Box Drive as they would on a local drive.

    Finder Tags are a significant feature for MacOS users and not having them any more is a problem. Many MacOS users depend on Finder Tags in work flows and losing this feature has broken long established processes to manage files.

  2. Box Cataloging Spreadsheet

    I would like a live spreadsheet that shows an outline of our folders and files, who updated them, and when - and that we could add columns to that we manually update. This could be within box or another app.

  4. Groups - Customizable Permission Settings

    None of the 3 permissions options - Company, Group Members, Admins Only - are ideal. Would love to have more options or perhaps a customizable setting where we can select which options to allow.

    For example, as the primary admin, I apply groups to root folders and I want anyone shared to that folder to be able to view the group members for any group collaborating on that folder. Only way to do that now would be to set the groups' permissions to "Company". However, I do not want everyone to be able to invite any group to folders, and…

  5. When a folder is moved to another folder, user would like to receive a notification when the folder is moved from the folder settings.

    I would like to receive notifications in the following three cases.

    1. Notification when a user is moved to another folder. (Reason: Because there are many cases where other users are moved by mistake and there is no way to immediately confirm the move.)

    2. Notification when an error occurs while moving an item. (Reason: To be able to determine the situation in which the move failed so that the next action can be taken more easily.)

    3.Notification after the move is completed. (Reason: To be able to confirm that the move is complete, so that it can be judged that the…

  7. Co-edit password-protected files

    Under current specifications, password-protected files are not supported by Box for Office Online and cannot be co-edited.
    The password must be removed on the file for collaborative editing.
    We request the ability to collaborate on editing even passworded files, such as being able to temporarily remove the password on Box.

  8. Relay:Enable/disable the "Invite assignees as Viewers/Editors" option

    A new feature has been added to Relay called "Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors".
    Perhaps, it is possible that, due to a mistake, users who should not be collaborating are automatically collaborated with.
    However, in the current specification, the checkbox for this feature cannot be changed from enabled.

    We would like the checkbox to be able to be unchecked optionally.

    誤操作により、本来権限を付与されるべきではないユーザーがコラボレートされてしまう可能性があるため、
    チェックボックスのチェックを任意で外せるようにしてほしい。

  9. Add account info to Box application window

    One of our users recently asked the following:

    "In the Box drive alert window, the Box Drive Settings gear icon doesn't
    do anything useful. Please add an actual settings window with basic
    information like file space used, buttons for pause/restart syncing, etc.

    The Box Drive window is an alert style window that disappears anytime a
    mouse is clicked or any other window is interacted with. This is the
    case in Windows 7 through Windows 11. It would be better if Box Drive
    had an actual application window like most other apps."

    I know that manual syncing isn't possible yet in…

  10. file transfer status

    One of our users recently asked the following:

    "The Transfers pane in the Box drive alert window rarely shows any file
    names, even when files are actively being transferred. Please change the
    Transfers window so that it shows a rolling list of all transferring and
    recently transferred files and a time remaining estimate. The list
    should be rolling and not clear when the transfers are done. It should
    always be possible to see the last 5-10 files that Box Drive has
    transferred."

    I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request, but thought I'd share it here.

  11. Ability to track # of favorites to a file or folder

    While access to the # of previews, edits, and downloads is great, it would be super awesome to be able to access the # of favorites a file or folder has received. This would give the opportunity to show deeper engagement of a file or folder.

  12. Prompt for Metadata in Workflow

    It would be good to allow users to be prompted for the metadata values when the workflow triggers, instead of requiring the user to prefill them in the workflow template. A simple pop-up box with the field name and value input would suffice. Much like the existing prompt in the workflow, but automatically displayed based on the trigger.

  13. Adding more functionality of Box Drive enhancements into the Admin Console

    My customer has deployed Box Drive out to most of their employees and it has been widely adopted across their organization. What they are now having trouble with is that there are security concerns when it comes to their employees having personal Drive accounts so they want to the functionality built in to Admin Console to force log out their users in Box Drive - as of right now many of the Admin functionality relate to Box Sync and Admins do not have the option to make changes on the Box Drive functionality

  14. WebApp UI - Ability to collapse left sidebar

    New Box layout New Box layout takes up space, reduces visibility and ability to recognize folders/files

    Perhaps I am missing something. With the new Box web application, there is now a wide, persistent orange menu in a left sidebar. That menu does not appear to be something that I can hide. I use Box on a laptop with limited screen real estate, and the new sidebar eats up a lot of the space previously available to show data. As a result, my list of folders and documents is squeezed into a smaller space, and I see a much smaller set…

  15. Auto lock/unlock for read-only file.

    Currently, BoxDrive works with AutoLockUnlock=1 as below.

    1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is locked automatically.
    2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting is gone.

    Please improve as below.

    1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is not locked automatically.
    2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting keeps.

    Best,

  16. Users who have permission to output reports should be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights

    Under the current specification, only administrators or authorized co-administrators can select the "target folders and files" when outputting the User Activity Report.
    For the sake of business efficiency, I would like to see users who have permission to output reports be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights.

    現在の仕様では、ユーザーアクティビティレポートを出力の際管理者または、権限の付与された共同管理者のみ「対象のフォルダとファイル」が選択可能です。
    これをレポート出力権限を持っているユーザーは、業務効率上、自分のアクセス権がある範囲の中で「対象のフォルダとファイル」を選択できるようにしてほしい。

  17. Improve the use of Variable Strings in the JAVA SDK

    For customers who are leveraging an API gateway using Java SDK version 3.2.1 some URL prefix text strings are not dynamically adjusted.

    For example, when customers are downloading the file representation in it tries to call directly the box API URL like the following URL:

    https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/

    Some customers may be leveraging a customer specific gateway, so they need to be able to dynamically change the URL where https://api.box.com/ is replaced with the gateway prefix like all the other calls:

    {{CUSTOMERGATEWAY}} /internalfiles/123/versions/345/representations/jpgthumb32x32

    There are a number of places where the prefix was not dynamic.

  18. When creating a Box sign template, I want to specify the signed file and sign log in any location to create a template

    In the current Box sign template, it is necessary to specify the save destination folder for the document at any time.
    As a security management, I want to be able to manage signed files and sign logs in one folder.

    (In Japanese)
    現在のBox signのテンプレートではドキュメントに対して保存先のフォルダを随時指定する必要がある。
    セキュリティ管理としてサイン済みファイルとサインログを1つのフォルダで管理できるようにしたい。

  19. Update the layout of My Collection

    Under My Collections, please change the layout of the toggle button that pops open Collections folders so that it's not the exact same size/shape/location/color as the "X" boxes on individual favorites. More than once, when a page loads slowly, I've gone to expand a Collection and accidentally hit an "X" and wiped out an important favorite from my sidebar!

  20. Provide Report Export Using Keywords

    When running reports on "Files and Folders", you should be able to filter based on keywords. For example, if you want to see all files and folders related to a specific software you implemented, etc.
