  1. I want the general user to be notified when an item is copied or moved and the process is complete.

     When an item is copied or moved, a message is displayed indicating that the move is complete, but when the target folder is checked, the process may not be complete.
     After moving or copying large data, the user may immediately see "copy completed" but the process is not actually completed, confusing the user.
     Currently, general users can only visually confirm that the process is complete, and the only way to confirm that the process is complete is to request a user with administrative privileges to output a user activity report.
     Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to…

  2. Box Drive client should fall back to attempt direct connection if proxy fails

    In short, if Box Drive sees a proxy and attempts to connect via the proxy but that fails, it should fall back and attempt a direct connection before failing completely.

    I experienced this on Windows. Not sure if it would apply to other OSes or not.

    The specific details...

    I'm in a Corporate environment with a laptop. When our laptops are on the corporate network, we do go through a proxy. But when off of the corporate network, like working at home, it doesn't use the proxy. We use an auto-config proxy .pac file to control the proxy on and…

  3. Add "Open in Box Drive" function

    Add an "Open in Box Drive" UI option for the web app.
    This solves the problem of identifying a file or folder in the web app, wanting to work on the file or folder in Box Drive, and needing to leave the Web App to navigate through several steps to find that file in Box Drive.

    Ideally this should only be active on hosts that have Box Drive installed; it could be not presented, or disabled, on other hosts.

    For hosts that have Box Drive installed, this would allow:
    1. When activated for a folder, that folder as presented by…

  4. Box app for Zoom - Enterprise Setting to Enable Saving Recordings to Box by Default

    We would like to know whether we can make the saving of Zoom recordings to Box 'On/Enabled' by default. For many users, we need this to be enabled by default.

  5. Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files

    Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:

    1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing…

  6. It would be great if I could mark a folder to become a zip file. And the work of creating said zip file happens on your end.

    It would be great if I could mark a folder to become a zip file. And the work of creating said zip file happens on your end. This is with the thought that very large folders that have tens of thousands of items are easier to download, or share.

  7. Forensic watermarketing

    Teams with highly sensitive embargoed (pre-release) assets really needs this in order to track exactly who leaked sensitive data without the leaker knowing they're being tracked (e.g. the blue is a slightly different blue for everyone who downloads, or the text is a slightly different gray for everyone who downloads).

  8. Ability to upvote or interact with content in Box with Emojis, similar to what you can do in Slack

    This is especially important if you want to have a large vote on content in Box (e.g. Box Hackathon) without massively blasting everybody with notifications.

  9. Render InDesign files previews with high quality

    When Box creates a preview of Indesign .indd files, placed images are shown in low quality only. This prevents to run correction and approval processes with customers as some image formats aren't rendered at all (white images area), especially images with transparencies and vector images like .ai, .eps, but also .psd.
    We are an ad agency and we depend on properly rendered previews.
    Is there a way to render the previews in correct quality and resolution without beeing forced to create a PDF instead for approval?

    i can see two options:
    1) create the preview with InDesign server. In this…

  10. Please make it possible to send invitations to inactive users.

    Administrator fails when inviting inactive users.
    Please make it possible to send invitations to inactive users.
    After sending the invitation, the administrator activates the target user as required.
    This is a useful feature for large accounts with many administrative users.

  11. I would like to restrict certain people/groups from accessing version history.

    I would like the ability to limit who can access version history. When interacting with external collaborators, it would be nice to limit them from seeing version history, and only allow them to see the most recent version.

  13. Continuous Capture with Box for EMM

    Please improve Capture Mode of EMM.
    Comparing Capture Mode of Box for EMM with Capture for EMM,
    the probability the photo data becomes holding status is seriously high.
    When it happens, saving data is so tough that the users have to avoid continuous shooting.
    We did not have this experience when with Capture fo EMM.

  14. Allows Admins to block new users from being created using unverified email Domain

    Some organizations wish to have the ability to prevent any account from being created with an email address belonging to an email domain that is not listed in the Verified Domains list in the Box Admin Console. There should be a setting either in Security or Custom Setup that can be enabled so that all admins are unable to add these types of users. In large organizations that leverage automations and integrations via SSO and security groups to push users to Box, there should be a way to have more granular control on the users that are provisioned access based…

  15. When importing documents they should keep the date of the document, NOT the date they were uploaded.

    When all my documents and files were imported into Box back in the beginning, they all got the same date. That has been horrible to work with. Many documents have similar names but I could always look at the date and know that the more recent one was probably the one I was looking for. But now, I have to look through each document to see if it is the one I want.

    Of course, once I have worked on it, it now has today's date and I can tell my newer documents. But now, even after being on Box…

  16. Classification labels are also applied to partial matches for words set in "Custom Term"

    Classification labels are also applied to partial matches for words set in "Custom Term"
    カスタム用語で設定された単語が部分一致した場合にも分類ラベルを適用

    内容
     Classification labels are assigned only when an exact match is registered in the file for the file condition "custom term" in the Management Console > Classification > Classification Policy.
     If you want to assign a classification label to a partially matched term, you need to register all the terms in the "custom term".
     To save time and effort in registering, please improve the system so that classification labels are assigned even when partially matching words are found in the file.

    <Japanese>
     管理コンソール>分類>分類ポリシーのファイル条件「カスタム用語」について完全一致した語句がファイル内に登録されている場合のみ分類ラベルが付与される
     部分的に一致している語句も分類ラベル付与対象としたい場合、すべての語句を「カスタム用語」に登録する必要がある
     登録する手間を省くため、部分的に一致した語句がファイル内に記載されている場合も分類ラベルが付与されるように改善してほしい

  17. Report status window shows columns in fixed column width which makes data unreadible

    Current view of reports status shows 5 columns in fixed width which makes for instance the date and time stamp unreadable. It would be really helpful if you could adjust the column width like in Microsoft Excel to make the data readable, there's a lot of unused white space at the right side that could be better utilized.

  18. Notify user immediately when a file is updated or uploaded.

    We would like the functions or API commands to notify user immediately when a file on the Box is updated or uploaded.
    We would like to be able to trigger the next process on file updates, so we would like the ability to be notified each time an update is made, rather than a periodic notification.

  19. Ability to configure date format in the email notifications

    Email notification date – The request is for the date format of this to be set by Admins for an ‘Organisation’ . The current email default is using dd/mm/yyyy which does not help North American users. To get a more universal date it would be helpful to for admins to be able to set another format like dd/mmm/yyyy

  20. Allow inheritance in folder structure

    Windows allows for folders to enable or disable inheritance from Parent folder to Child folders. This is needed in BOX so collaborators who don't need access or shouldn't have access to certain Child folders within a Parent folder can still navigate where access is needed and not expose sensitive data.
