  1. Notification that someone you assigned a Task did not complete it by the deadline you set

    Often I assign Tasks with deadlines. While the person receiving the task gets notifications that the deadline is approaching, I do not get a notification if they did not complete the Task on time.
    This would be extremely helpful to know that Tasks have not been completed so we can follow up.

  2. Add permission to grant user access to see (list) of folders and files but not preview any content within the files.

    This would provide awareness to the user that a file exists and they can then request preview (or other) access from the owner/co-owner.

  4. Set values for "external_app_user_id" of Managed Users

    We are developing a tool to extract user data from AD, Azure and other IDMs and provision them to Box via API.
    We want to use the user IDs on the IDM as a user external key for Box so that we can track the associated Box account when the email address changes on the IDM side.
    However, the current attribute "externalappuser_id" of Box users has the following limitations

    Only the App User can be set as the value.

    Only some privileged users, such as service accounts for JWT-authenticated applications, can access this item.

    For improved convenience, please…

  5. Allow to Update Description in the Upload Section in File Request via API

    We would like the ability to customize the description field in the Upload Section of the file request via API.
    Currently via API we are only able to update the Header and the Header Description and the
    description under the upload section is only editable via the webapp.

    We are looking to automate the file request via API from certain templates. Certain information will get updated depending on what template we desire which includes the need to update the description under the file upload but currently that is not available via API

  7. Shared Link creation doesn't automatically add user to folder when adding file in Box for Office in Outlook

    When adding a file to an email in Outlook and using the Box for Office integration to upload it to Box and create a shared link, you have the option to make the link visible to Invited Users Only. However, when doing this, it does not add all users as collaborators to the file so they can access the shared link. Ideally, the integration should add the users CC'd in the email ass collaborators if they are not collabed already so that they can access the Invited People only link

  8. Protect completed documents with the security method used at time of signature

    While Box Sign allows you to secure a document when sending it for signature (SMS, Password), the document is viewable without the SMS or Password once it is signed. Box Sign automatically sends an email to all parties confirming the completion of the signing process. In that email the link to the completed document is not protected by the same measures as when it was first sent for signature.

    In many cases, the document that is being signed contains extremely sensitive information and thus it is best practice for the document to be protected with the additional layer of authentication…

  9. Box for iOS Annotations

    The pen and and marker options when using the Annotations feature within Box for iOS is limited as the lines are often too thick and obscure information on the documents used by our customers.

    The suggestion here is to add a line thickness slider for both the marker and pen options so that users can experience the same pencil thin annotated lines in the Box for iOS Mobile Application as they do when annotating via Box.com

  10. Import/Store external own contacts to use regularly as recipients

    This is where users have their own contact list with email addresses and want to use these regularly in unique documents rather than templates. The request is to import and maintain these so they can be easily looked up when adding the signers to send a document to.

  11. External user verification via TOTP for shared links

    Please consider adding a TOTP verification option for shared links. You could allow a link to be shared to an email address but require TOTP verification via that same email address. This would help verify that only someone with access to the email address we shared with can access the content without forcing them to signup for a free Box account.

    Thank you

  12. Support for passing of special characters (as-is) in query (Box Metadata Query API)

    Per the suggestions ...

    Use of an "=" could be utilized
    Unfortunately, this would break the ability for our search bar to also do loose matches around the "typed search term"
    (e.g. "Broadway &" query will not return "Broadway & Commercial"

    Use of "%" wildcard to replace noted special character
    Unfortunately, the results will then be too varied. Any characters will be up for substitution.
    (e.g. "C&R" query will then also return "car", "candor", corridor", etc.)

    *** Could we confirm if there is an appropriate way for special characters to be passed and recognized as-is?

    The above suggested workarounds would…

  13. sign template versioning

    The ability to version control Box Sign Templates. Within the life science space you have to be able to prove that a form that was filled in and signed used the latest version of the form at the time of signature.

  14. API Calls to Get Folder ID from File Request URL

    Currently the only way to get the Folder ID that's associated for a File Request URL that exists is to know the Folder ID or the File Request ID that you're looking for before you do. Its easy if the user says this is the folder, but if they only have the link you're forced to run User Activity reports to attempt to locate what was created, even harder if you don't know the original user who created the file request and they don't know the folder.

    It would be extremely beneficial to be able to make an API call…

  15. Increase the maximum number of signatories per document, which is 35.

    "Project documents can have more than 35 signatories as these include representatives, endorsers and approvers from multiple business units.  

    Use Case: Finance has multiple departments: Revenue, Payables, Management, Accounting but we have 5 companies so that’s 35 and each head of the department. Needs a signature from everyone and not an approval. This is a project requirement."

  16. "search filter" "folder location" unselecting parent still requires to unselect all subfolders

    Asume, when running a search and selecting File Type "Folders" and an "owner", the search results delivers thousands of folders.
    Now I want to use the filter option to exclude a parent folder which I know has several hundred subfolders, but unselecting the parent folder does require me to sunselect all the subfolders inside of the parent folder one by one...
    This is not practical and unselecting a parent folder should also exclude all subfolders from that parent.
    Actually I had never seen it the way it is implemented in Box...

  19. Ability to fix/default country code when requesting two-factor authentication

    When BoxSign requires two-factor authentication, there is a dropdown to select our country code.
    I would like a function to fix the country code to save the trouble of selecting from the pulldown each time.

  20. No "print" option like in Box Notes

    There's no way to export or print the Canvas. This ability exists in Miro, so if Canvas were to offer this, we could likely cut out our Miro licenses. This ability exists today in Box Notes, so it would make sense for it to be available in Canvas as well.
