  1. Add "Date Received" field to My Requests for Box Sign

    Showcase a field in Box Sign when a Box Sign request was received and not just when the document was initially sent.

    The current fields are: "Title", "Sent", "Last Updated", "Status"

    Ideal state would be: "Title", "Sent", "Received", "Last Updated", "Status"

  2. Content Insight display more than a year

    Extend the range to review if a customer has viewed or downloaded a provided document. This is critical for Public Disclosure requests, especially if a customer claims they never received their documents. If we could view farther than 1 year we could see if they actually did view or download when they were initially provided to them. 3 years back would be a good time frame to be able to search.

  3. Allow Custom Terms of Service feature on specific folders/files

    Currently, this feature is only allowed at the account level, but if an enterprise account serves multiple internal and external user groups that may require different ToS, the feature becomes useless. Please consider a simple feature to allow custom ToS for specific folders or files. Thanks!

  4. Allow users to set Sort Preferences

    Users should be able to save default sort preferences.
    Currently I see "Least Recently Updated" documents first, which is never helpful.
    I have to manually re-set the sort preference in every folder I work in.

  6. FTP - Root Level Access

    When connecting to Box via FTP you are logged into a session that is specific to your user account even if you are the Box administrator. In standard FTP server administration practice you can set which directory a user is dumped into upon login. There should be an administrator level setting that can be enabled to choose at which level the Admin account gets logged into, in this case the FTP root.

    Currently when logging into Box FTP via Admin account you are defaulted to \FTP.box.com\Users\Admin and do not have permissions to jump up a directory to \FTP.box.com\Users

    You should…

  9. Add a new security level of "Restrict"

    I understand the current security levels may once have reflected some technical details e.g. the permissions that might be assigned in a particular file system. However, this could be enhanced by a new security level ("Forbidden", "Excluded", "Restrict" or whatever makes sense) that is applied by exception.

    A simple example:

    Folder "News" has All Company as viewers.

    Group "Contractors" are invited as "Restrict" access.

    Whenever any user seeks access e.g. viewing the contents of the folder that contains folder "News", they will of course inherit the permissions from the parent, but before being allowed to see "News" Box first checks…

  10. Using Box Sign for forms

    It would be helpful to leverage Box Sign to fill out forms. Currently, Box Sign does not allow for the Sign process to proceed unless a signature field is dropped into the document. We have a scenario where we wanted to have someone fill out text fields with various information as a step before a signature is placed. Perhaps a separate feature called Box Forms which allows those fields to be dropped in and populated onto a document before it gets to Sign?

  11. Items to be included in "GxP_Release_Notes 【日本語】 「GxP_Release_Notes」に掲載いただきたい事項につい

    GxP option is enabled.
    For validation purposes, change management of features released in Box must be done quarterly.
    Specifically, new features to be released to Box are checked in advance, and features that are undesirable to be applied are set to be unavailable.

    Currently, "GxPReleaseNotes" lists the features that will be released to Box.
    However, it does not state whether the feature can be enabled or disabled in the management console.
    It also does not state at what point (version) what features will be added.

    Therefore, you will need to read through all of Box's release notes and…

  12. Improvements to opt-in promotional content Admin settings

    With regard to the administrator setting for opt-in promotion content, which is scheduled to be discontinued in December 2023, we are concerned that if the setting item is completely removed, promotions for features not enabled in the Admin Console will be displayed and users will be confused.
    Therefore, we would like to see the addition of a function to customize the display of promotions according to the Admin Console settings, such as not displaying promotions for features not allowed in the Admin Console.

  13. Reflect Power Point page number settings in Box preview

    When page numbers are inserted in Power Point starting from the slide following the cover page and the slide start number is set to 0, there is a difference in the page numbers when viewed from the Power Point desktop application and when previewed in Box.
    In the Power Point app, the slide on the page following the cover page has a page number of 1, but in the Box preview screen it is 2.

    There is no workaround for users invited with previewer or shared via a view-only shared link, as they cannot edit or download.
    Please reflect the…

  15. Custom document repositories with metadata search

    User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
    We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical way…

  16. When moving content, it would be nice to have the option to create and name a new folder that content can be moved into.

    Currently, when I move items to a new location, I either have to create the folder ahead of time, or move all of the items loosely, then create a folder, then moved copied/moved items into new folder. It would be nice if I would have the option to create and name a new folder during the move/copy process.

  17. provide option to not automatically accept collaboration invitations when being invited from a user group

    I do not have option to not accept the collaboration invitation when content is shared with a user group that I belong to. Is there a way to have the option to not accept the invitation when invited by a user group that I am part of it.

  18. Limit the number of files that can be uploaded in the Box Web App

    The request is to include a setting within the Admin Console to limit the number of files that can be uploaded at one time through the Box Web App.

    The customer is in insurance (ClaimsPro integration) and is trying to implement functionality to make a work item when someone uploads more documents for a claim than is allowed.
    When users upload too many documents, the job will run multiple times while the documents are being uploaded, creating multiple work items. They are unable to reduce the run frequency of the job and are hoping to limit the amount of uploads…

  19. Recent Files Menu Options

    I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?

    Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

  20. Improved Shuttle error documentation

    Currently the documentation only has a few of the possible errors that can appear during a Shuttle migration, so it'd be helpful to have a more comprehensive list of such error messages and how to handle each of them.
