  2. Can't filter search files marked for offline use to unmark quickly and regain HD space.

    NEED ASAP: See file list of marked for "offline use" to quickly/easily unmark to regain HD space. I regularly run low on space locally. Users should have a way for Box to ID files based on cache of local machine—to "unmark all" quickly, AS WELL AS selectively with a list of files marked offline to keep any files "offline available" as needed. A MUST-HAVE feature for managing files, since the whole point of box is file storage and accessibility.

  3. Disabling shared links after the link is viewed

    Currently there is the option have the shared link expire on a specific date. It would be beneficial to also have a shared link be disabled as soon as it is viewed. Having a link that's "one-time use only" would be ideal in various use cases like sharing sensitive information.

    Having this also be the case for invited external parties would be helpful.

  4. Share a file as an attachment rather than as a link from box without having to just download and attach.

    There is the need to easily share a file as an attachment rather than as a link from box. The ability to send the file as an attachment is still a plus in certain business environments. Not all recipients are savvy enough to work with box links. That could be done through the Gmail integration.

  5. Allow data migration from local mac source.

    We would like to use Box Shuttle (now available to Business- and Enterprise-Accouts) to transfer our locally stored data to Box and use Box as our main data management system. But Box Shuttle does currently not allow Mac as a local data source. Shuttle is only usable with Windows.

  6. Reducing the time it takes to start the next process in Relay

    The current specification limits the possible use cases, as it could take more than an hour before the next process is started. Is it at least possible to set SLAs, such as triggering within 10 minutes?

  7. Prevent duplicate compliance emails

    The ability to archive compliance emails helps us comply with our company's email archiving policy.
    However, due to known issues with Box's notification service, compliance emails often arrive in duplicate or never arrive.
    This issue will be resolved when the Box notification service is migrated to a new one, but compliance emails are more important than other notifications and waiting for the notification service to migrate would take too long and have too great a business impact.
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible in order to ensure governance.

    コンプライアンスメールが重複して届かないようにしてほしい

    コンプライアンスメールをアーカイブする機能は、会社のメールアーカイブポリシーを遵守するのに役立っています。
    しかし、Box通知サービスの既知の問題が原因で、コンプライアンスメールはしばしば重複して届いたり、もしくは届かなかったりすることがあります。
    この問題は、新しい通知サービスへの移行完了によって解決される予定ですが、コンプライアンスメールは他の通知と比べても重要性が高く、
    通知サービスの移行を待っているのでは時間がかかりすぎるし、ビジネスインパクトがあまりにも大きいです。
    ガバナンスを確保するためにも、この問題をできる限り早く解決してください。

  8. Customizable webapp columns such as folder owner

    It would be nice for users to be able to customize the columns they see in the webapp. Particularly being able to add a 'Folder Owner' column like OneDrive has. Similar to the way you can go from grid to list view, but add a column between Name and Updated for Folder Owner.

  9. Allow setting passwords on folders

    Setting passwords on files is good, but we should be able to set passwords on folders (at any level of a folder structure). The ability to set passwords on folders should be limited to owners and co-owners.

  10. Request for improvement of behavior when a workflow creator designates (suggests) an external user as the person to be notified or in charge

    Currently, the following conditions must be met in order for the workflow creator to designate (suggest) external users as the recipients of workflow notifications or task assignments.
    1.External user account already exists
    2.Automatic acceptance of external user invitations enabled
    3.Workflow creator invites external users while 1 and 2 are satisfied

    In addition, if the following settings are made on the tenant side, even if the external user has enabled auto-acceptance, the auto-acceptance process will not be performed unless the tenant side setting requirements are met, After the external user satisfies the tenant's requirements, the workflow creator must invite the external…

  12. malwarebytes

    One of the restrictions you can place on Box sign-ins is verifying appropriate antivirus is in place. For the Mac side, Malwarebytes is not one of the allowed antivirus solutions, but it is what we have deployed at our company. Please add Malwarebytes to the allowed list of antivirus solutions on the Mac.

  15. Let sender sign documents created with Ready-Sign Links

    Ready-sign links are a great feature, but we need the ability for senders be able to also sign a document that is created with a Ready-Sign link.

    For example, if I have a Mutual NDA setup in a Ready-Sign link, I want others to be able to quickly sign this. BUT I also need to sign it myself as the sender.

    This would ideally be accomplished by letting me "sign" the document at the time I create it. Or alternatively when someone signs the NDA at the Ready-Sign link, then I am emailed a notification that is ready for me…

  16. Date Range Selection - Box Reports

    The Date Range offered, when creating reports, should be increased to include 'Last Quarter'.

    This would enable us to use Saved Reports more frequently, since entering custom dates prevents a report from being saved.

    We regularly run reports to identify Box useage in the last 3 months, to identify those box accounts that can be deleted

  17. I would like the BoxTools auto-update re-entrant interval to be shortened.

    I would like the BoxTools auto-update re-entrant interval to be shortened.

    Currently, BoxTools checks for new updates every 5~6 hours.
    If an update fails and it takes 5~6 hours to get the next update, users will not be able to use the latest version of the software, which will have a significant impact on them.
    Therefore, we would like to see the re-entrant interval shortened when an update fails.

    BoxToolsの自動更新のリエントラントの間隔を短くして欲しい

    現在BoxToolsは5~6時間ごとに新しい更新がないかを確認する挙動です。
    更新が失敗した場合に次回の更新情報の取得までに5~6時間要すると最新のバージョンでの利用が出来ず不具合が生じるなどのユーザー影響が大きいです。
    その為、更新に失敗した場合のリエントラントの間隔を短くして欲しいです。

  18. Use Box (cloud, not drive) as browser's download location

    I need a solution for preventing files downloaded from the web from being saved directly to my device. This puts sensitive client information on the device and requires me to delete the file after uploading it to Box, and hackers can still find information on a hard drive that has been "deleted". It would be much more secure if I could select Box as the browser's location where all downloads are stored. It seems this should be possible with Box's browser extension.

    Box Drive is not an acceptable solution for this since it is just as accessible as all the…

  19. Audit Report on Users with Access

    It would be nice to have a report that allows you to select a folder and it returns a list of all the users that have access to that folder or any folder below it. This would be handy in the event that a person needed to run an audit of user accesses within a given structure.

  20. Manage Box Drive folders that sync with the Box.com - I have to uninstall Box Drive from all of my devices

    Because I cannot select which folders to sync from Box.com, I cannot use Box Drive which makes going back to One Drive extremely appealing.

    This seems like such basic functionality and it's very disappointing that Box didn't provide it - and actually took it away when moving from Box Sync.

    My idea is for Box Drive to provide the same basic functionality that Box Sync had and One Drive and Google Drive and Dropbox have.
