    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  3. Personal Folder Auto-Creation

    Similar to the Okta feature (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/36802318-Configuring-Box-to-Create-a-Personal-Shared-Folder), this request is for a native option in Box to automatically provision a 'personal folder' for each user upon provisioning (whether provisioned manually, via Bulk Add, or via auto-provisioning).

    Key Requests for this feature:
    --Ability to customize the name of the folder that's created (such as choosing the user's name + 'Personal Folder' or other custom strings of text)
    --The user's personal folder will be created in their own account and they'll be the owner of it, with no other users in it (even if restrict content creation is turned on)

  4. Add More Granular Control Over Group Management for Co-Admins

    I have a use case where I have my Marketing Manager setup as a Co-Admin with permissions to edit metadata templates. We'd now like her to also be able to manage the groups that controls access to marketing's folders. The problem is, because she's a co-admin Box won't allow us to assign her as a group admin. The only way we can allow her to admin the groups is to also give her Manage Groups access as part of her co-admin role. The issue with that is it would give her the ability to manage all groups, which we do…

  5. Consistent TimeZone Reporting

    Good morning,
    I think it is important that all the reporting is consistent in the way it is generated. Right now there are three linked reports that are treated differently and make more difficult to compare them. Though the underlying purpose is different, it is clear that they are related and it would help a lot that they use the same exact time zone.

    These reports are:
    - Platform Activity. Generated by using PST time zone.
    - User Activity. Generated by using the report requester time zone.
    - App Diagnostics. It allows to specify the time but it is based…

  6. Ability to set Default Collaboration Role to Viewer-Uploader

    Please allow the ability to set Default Collaboration Role in admin console to Viewer-Uploader.

    Currently the only options are Editor or Viewer. Editor is too much access as a default and Viewer is too limited. Please provide Viewer-Uploader as a third option or to replacement Editor role. Viewer-Uploader is a safer option as a default as it allows everything Editor role does except delete. Users are not being mindful when they share content and our support team spends time doing search and rescue. If Viewer-Uploader were the default, safer environment and Box will have better appeal.

  7. Mobile app for admin console

    Please create a standalone app for admins to use to access admin console on mobile.

    I'm a little shocked that this is sorely missing.

  8. Restrict content creation at the user or group level

    Request: Root content creation to be set at user or group level instead of the tenant so that the majority wouldn't have to sacrifice a open folder structure for a small subset of users with constraints. Ultimately looking for a hybrid solution.

    We are re-designing the managed users page and will focus on adding advanced filtering of managed users by status as a follow up. Right now, releasing the re-design will be our first priority, so filtering by status is not on the near-term
    (6 month) roadmap. We will revisit this after we release the new page.

  10. We want group administrators to edit tracking codes

    Currently, tracking code information can only be accessed by Admins and Co-Admins with permission.
    We wish it was possible to give group admins the ability to edit tracking codes.
    Alternatively, We would like it to be possible to be a co-admin while being a group admin.

    グループ管理者に追跡コードの編集を行わせたい

    現在、追跡コードの情報は管理者および権限が付与された共同管理者しかアクセスすることができません。
    グループ管理者に対し、追跡コードを編集できる権限を付与できるようにしてほしい。
    あるいは、グループ管理者でありながら共同管理者になれるようにしてほしい。

  11. Be able to default a sort method

    Currently you can change the sort method from alphabetical to updated date or size, but there's no way to change the default order from updated. Most of my files I prefer alphabetical so it's inconvenient to have to click it every time

  13. New App Management UI needs improvements

    The New App management UI was released the week of Feb 3 2020. We would like to see a few enhancements:
    1) Provide a way copy or export the whitelist of client IDs for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
    2) List the App ID or App Name along with the Client IDs that are whitelisted for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
    3) Provide better explanation for each section…

  14. User Activity Report to log all User Events that happened in external outbound folder (grey folder)

    Currently, User Events (such as file upload, download and delete by Managed Users) that happened in external outbound folder (grey folder) are logged and can be obtained via Box API. And these user activities within grey folder (by Managed Users) shall be logged in User Activity Report.

    These User Events may be required to be kept for few years due to organization's security policy. But currently, User Events are only stored between 2 weeks and 2 month, and user ID needs to be specified when ever it needs to be obtained via API.

  15. New accounts should come to the admin for approval.

    New accounts requests should come to the admin for approval. Users should not just be able to make an account without any permission, it makes it very hard to control license usage.

  17. Make inactive users their own category vs. remaining as licensed users

    Inactive users shouldn't be regarded as licensed users; we need to maintain user history so we never delete users.

  18. We want to enable a custom app partially by specifying users/groups

    A feature has been released for integrated apps that allows you to partially enable them by specifying groups or users, but we would like a similar feature for custom apps.

    統合アプリについて、グループ・ユーザーを指定して部分的に有効化する機能がリリースされましたが、カスタムアプリについても同様の機能が欲しいです。

  19. Unmanaged Users Workflow

    Easier way to managed "unmanaged users" in the Admin Console.
    Currently, you have to run a report to find "unmanaged users" within the customers domain, then move the to managed, wait for their acceptance, then you can delete them.
    Current customer is frustrated that this cannot be completed in a seamless manner and will remain out of compliance if their users are not managed correctly. This should be a bit more seamless and less steps.

  20. Allow the tenant administrator to select the folder created by the API account as the owner.

    I want to allow the tenant administrator to select the folder created by the API account as the owner.

    Currently, when you log in as a tenant administrator, if you want to check the folders linked with Box for Teams, you cannot check all the files because you are not the owner.
    I would like to be able to select the owner of the Box folder generated in cooperation with Teams to be the tenant administrator so that management confirmation and control / log acquisition can be performed.

    ・APIアカウントで作成されたフォルダをテナント管理者も所有者と選択できるようにしたい。

    現在、テナント管理者でログインした際にBox for Teamsで連携したフォルダを確認したい場合に
    所有者でないためすべてのファイルを確認することができません。
    Teamsと連携して生成されるBoxフォルダの所有者をテナント管理者にする選択をできるようにして
    管理上確認や統制・ログの取得をおこなえるようにしたいです。
