  1. Enabling external links/references in excel workbooks

    In Excel any external references (e.g. in macros or other workbooks) are disabled, for data driven companies who use excel heavily it would be ideal to have these functions available in box drive. Using Box online can be limiting.

  2. prevent file download to local drive for editor

    We would like to have the ability to prevent a user with editor access from being able to download the shared folder content.
    According to https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13404788095507-Restrict-download-access, it seems not possible.

    Our goals are:
    - Allow them to create files/folder, and to edit them from within the Box drive.
    - Prevent them from downloading the files into their local drive and take it with them.

    As a security measure of data loss prevention.

  3. Change the file lock icon back to red

    After the Shield File and Folder Badges update, the file lock icon changed from red to grey.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/9790388093075-File-and-Folder-Badges

    It is harder to see now so it would be great if you can change it back to red.

  4. Ability to map Box Groups to Information Barrier Segments

    The current requirement for uniqueness in Information Barrier segments only allows Box Admins to add individual users to segments, not user groups. This process can increase the long-term maintenance.

    Ideally, customers should be able to use attributes from Active Directory that are then synced to Box Groups. Ultimately, the Box Groups would be used to update Information Barrier segment membership automatically. If the group update breaks the requirement that a user can only belong to one segment, Box could produce an error message.

  8. Box for Microsoft Office Co-Authoring for Password Protected Files

    Unfortunately, co-authoring option is not currently supported for password-protected files. Box have told me this is because the system considers the password protection as a lock.
    Therefore bringing it your attention to add this feature request.

    Also we are finding that co-authoring takes a lot long to open files and it is not as smooth as its made out to be.

  9. Applying folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification policies

    Would like to apply folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification Policies. Currently, we can apply to a selected group of folders, but we have an organizational need to be able to apply a classification policy to all content and add a small selection of folders to exclude from that classification policy.

  11. Box Drive specification improvement request

    Box Drive is downloading a large amount of event streams, which can overwhelm company's network bandwidth. Due to the network bandwidth pressure, the business other than Box has been affected, so please take measures.
    Here are the details:

    Box Drive is likely retrieving folder and file events that the logged-in user has access to, but is aware that there may be a large number of event downloads in the following cases, for example:.
    ・A specific user performs bulk operations on a folder in which many users are collaborating. (All events are downloaded to Box Drives of all collaboration users)

  12. Choosing default sign request folder location when Restrict Content Creation is turned on

    For customers with restrict content creation turned on, they are not able to choose a default sign request save location. The "My Sign Requests" folder does not get created for them which is the default for customers whose Box Tenants have restrict content creation turned off. This would be a very helpful item for customers with this setting turned on.

  13. Additional info in Anomalous Download Shield e-mail notifications

    It would be very helpful to see "Previous weekly download amount", "anomalous download amount" and the "delta" on Anomalous download e-mail notifications. We use these to identify notifications that require further investigation, but these are only available by clicking into the reports which make this kind of detection difficult to scale and manage.

  14. Metadata template creation - option to duplicate metadata template, then edit

    A lot of the metadata templates will have similar fields, so ideally you could duplicate an existing metadata template, then make edits from there rather than just having the option to start new each time.

  15. Separate download and print restrictions

    We would like to use download and print restrictions in Access Policy separately.
    Flexible configurations are required, when we handling sensitive files in Box.

    ex. We don't want to allow them to edit, but I do want to allow them to print.

  17. Make the signature font bolder or darker

    Change the font to bolder or darker for the signature options. Some are very light. In addition, remove the red ink option. Some financial institutions do not accept signatures in red ink.

  18. Box Sign: Provide more guidance to signers without fields assigned

    Box Sign is not intuitive enough on how to sign. One client reports: "OK, finally got it. I wasn’t dragging the box onto the document." I had to tell them they had to click and drag the Signature button over to the signature line of the contract. Can you please make more clear instructions embedded into the sign request?

  20. Delete user capability

    Remove the "Get started with Box.pdf" file that is automatically added to each user. This becomes a 1.8 mb content for the user. As users are offboarded, this is content that needs to be transferred to someone before their account can be deleted. The information contained in that PDF can be housed in the help, announcements or notifications.
