  1. Allow Excel to open report (csv) without worrying about encoding

    The encoding for such csv file is in UTF-8 (no Byte Order Mark) and Excel failed to interpret such file, resulting in non-Unicode character turning garble.

    Since we open this report in a Spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, it would be beneficial to have Byte Order Mark added to the csv report in the first place.

    The workaround now is either
    1) Open the csv file in a modern text editor and re-save it using UTF-8 (with Byte Order Mark)

    2) Open a blank spreadsheet on Excel. From "Data" tab click on import from text data source. The manually imported…

  2. Merge Users - Ability to Merge 2 or More Accounts Into 1

    A 'merge users' feature would help with the initial administrative burden of cleaning up existing accounts.

    Key asks:
    --The ability to choose 2 or more Managed Users in Box to merge
    --The ability to choose which email becomes the primary email for the user (thus which account will become the owner of the other account's owned content)
    --The ability to choose whether demoted emails should be retained as email aliases or simply removed from the user's (updated) profile
    --The ability to choose whether existing collaborations on externally-owned folders are retained (meaning account 2 is invited into an external folder, when…

    We are currently re-designing our managed users page for performance and usability updates which will be released at the end of this year. We will revisit newer features to user management after we release our new UI. In the meantime, please add your use cases in the comments so we can have this feedback when we decide to pick this up.

  6. Request for a function that can determine whether an email address is registered in the Suppression List

    If a welcome message is sent before the mailbox creation is complete, it will be added to the Suppression List as an invalid email address.
    However, I don't know which email address was added to the suppression list.
    Also, in the management of the suppression list, even if you delete it, it will come out again.
    I would like to request a function that allows you to see the email address registered in the Suppression List.

    抑制リストにメールアドレスが登録されているか判別できる機能の要望
    <本文>
    メールボックスの作成が完了する前にウェルカムメッセージが送信されると、無効なメールアドレスとして抑制リストに追加されてしまいます。
    しかし、どのメールアドレスが抑制リストに追加されたかがわかりません。
    また、抑制リストの管理では削除してもまた出てきてしまいます。
    抑制リストに登録されているメールアドレスがわかる機能を要望します。

  7. Operation history in box.com/folder/000000000/settings

    There isn't a way yet to see how and when the setting was changed. We're trying to know is who and when and how did the Collaboration and Privacy settings change on Admin Console User Activity reports.

  8. Ability to copy the Enterprise settings that are set in the production instance.

    We wants the ability to copy the Enterprise settings that are set in the production instance. We also wants the ability to copy the sandbox settings to the production instance.

    We want to copy from the sandbox to the production instance to minimize the risk of work leakage during the production release.

  11. Password Expiration Notice "Prior to" the Date

    We would like to see the message like: "Your password will be expired in 7 days". Currently, BOX asks us to reset our password on the day of expiration. This can be a problem especially when we are at airport and try to see box.

    At the Admin console, we would like to see "0 day" or "7 days" as options.

    Enhancements to the Bulk Add/Edit feature are not currently on the roadmap, but will keep track of this request and consider prioritizing if many customers are requesting it. User status can be edited via API or SAML

  13. IP address restriction setting in admin console

    We would like to be able to configure IP address restriction setting in admin console.
    It cannot be set up IP address restriction without a service request to product support.
    Therefore, any customer have to wait long time to set it and also is inconvenient.

  14. Tags

    I'd like to see Box further realize and exploit the power of tags. From what I have seen, Box has only utilized the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tags. Below is a list of capabilities that would be amazing to use!

    • Tag Viewer: a place to manage, rename, delete tags, and more.
    • Tags appear and clickable in search results
    • Ability to tag document in editor

    I’ve been a devout Evernote user for years and they have a strong tag game. Evernote has been the backbone of my business for 10 years, and tags are the backbone of…

  16. Group-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the Group level

    This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults by Group. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a Group can generate Open Shared Links, invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated, even if users in that Group are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.

    For now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.

    Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.

  17. Groups cannot be collaborated via API without Manage groups scope

    Users cannot add groups to folders via the API like they can in the UI without special 'manage groups' scope, which is essentially an admin scope. One direct impact with this is that it prevents our mobile app from having invite parity with our web app,

    There is some content that we do not want to completely erase, but we would like to change the owner due to capacity issues.
    Therefore, we would like to change the owner of the files in the Recycle Bin.
