  1. Create Insights-only co-admin permission

    Create the ability to give a user a view of the Insights dashboard without having to give them full reporting permissions. Reporting gives specific data on individual users. This requires greater vetting, particularly if your Box instance contains sensitive data. If an executive wants to get stats from time to time, we should be able to provide the view to Insights without giving them that deeper reports view which may require special data clearances.

  2. Add CollabID to Collaboration Report

    The collaboration report does not contain the actual collab ID which is needed for any action on the API.

  3. Reporting - Add EID, tenant name and proper folder name to Outbound collaboration report

    Current Outbound collaboration report display outbound collaborator's login and folder ID. Administrator cannot exactly tell who those users are with this limited information.

    If EID, Tenant name, and Folder name could be added Administrator could gain more insight on who their managed users are collaborating with and prevent data lost.

  4. Allow FTP/FTPS access by user

    We would like the option to allow certain users to upload FTP, but not everyone in the enterprise. Right now, it's either all or nothing when disabling access to FTP.

  6. Upload/Change User Avatars (Profile Pictures) from Managed Users Page in Admin Console

    Currently user avatars (profile pictures) can only be added, removed, or changed from an individual user's account settings and these avatars are not editable whatsoever via the admin console. Meaning for an admin to add one on behalf of a user or to remove one, they must use instant log in (which not many co-admins have).

    When clicking to edit a user from the Admin Console -> Managed Users page, options to manage the user's avatar should be presented (just like we have for editing their name, email, etc.).

  7. Granular details around user account edits

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This reporting ask is not yet planned on the roadmap. We are currently prioritizing last activity reporting for managed users.

  8. Collaboration expiration notice to the inviter

    Only owners and co-owners will be notified when collaboration invitations expire.
    I would be happy if this could be delivered to the "inviter" as well.
    The person who is most concerned about this is the inviter as host.
    The inviter is the one who can decide whether to extend the time.

  9. Limit the amount of data a user can download to prevent data theft by employees.

    Limit accidental or intentional bulk downloads.

    An ex-employee intentionally or accidentally connected his Network Attached Storage device to his Box account, and it downloaded big chunks of our Box data. We want to prevent very large amounts of data (client work and IP) from being downloaded by users, for example, within a logged-in session, within a set timeframe or by the size of the folder (ie. large folders over a specific size containing folders).

    This could be set per user with an enterprise-level default eg. 5GB. If someone tries to bulk download, the admin is altered. Users can request that…

  10. Lack of reports on copy operations to external folders

    We strongly request the improvement of the display specification when the log of copying an item to an external tenant's folder is output to the report.

    In the current specification, when the destination folder is an external tenant, the report only shows the copied file as "External File".
    In other words, we can determine "who" copied "when" and "some file," but we cannot determine "where" and "what" was copied.

    We believe this is a major problem in monitoring and preventing information leaks.
    I thought it was one of Box's great strengths that most of the operation logs are stored and…

  11. Ability to not display the Dev console

    For company operations, the Admin does not want end users to develop Box applications.
    Therefore, we would like to configure the admin side to not show the "Dev console" to end users.
    Please make a button to control the display of the "Dev console" in the Admin console.

    (Japanese)
    会社の運営上、管理者はエンドユーザーがBoxアプリケーションを開発することを望んでいません。
    そのため、管理者側でエンドユーザーに「開発者コンソール」を表示しないように設定したいと考えています。
    管理者コンソールに「開発者コンソール」の表示を制御するボタンを作ってください。

  12. Restrict Number of users in Group

    I would like the option to restrict the number of users in a group.
    The reason is each department has a cap to how many users they can register and if we can stop other admin adding more than they are allowed, it would make the management easier.

  13. I would like to see 4 hours added to the session duration section.

    I would like to see 4 hours added to the session duration section.

    【Current Specifications】
    In the current pull-down menu for session duration, there are only 8 hours after 2 hours.

    【background】
    We feel that the current 2 hours is too short and 8 hours is too long.
    We would like to increase the number of items for session duration to better meet the needs of users.

    (日本語)
    セッション持続時間の項目に4時間を追加して欲しい

    【現在の仕様】
    セッション持続期間が現在のプルダウンメニューでは、2時間の次は8時間しかありません。

    【背景】
    利用する中で現在の2時間では短く、8時間では長いと感じています。
    セッション持続期間の項目を増やすことで、利用者ニーズに細かく対応したいため。

  14. Box report progress bar or indicator

    We want to check the progress of a report being output.
    At the moment We can only see if it is in progress but it is not possible to see when the report will be output.

    It can take quite a while for the report to be output, but we don't want to be uncertain about when it will be completed.
    This is because we have to regularly check the output of the report, which is time-consuming.

    It would be nice to be able to see progress as a percentage.

    <出力しているレポートの進捗状況をパーセンテージで確認したい>

    出力中のレポートの進捗状況を確認したいです。
    現時点では、進行中かどうかを確認することはできますが、いつレポートが出力されるかを確認することはできません。

    レポートが出力されるまでにはかなりの時間がかかりますが、
    定期的にレポートの出力状況を確認しなければならず、手間がかかるため
    いつ完了するかわからない状態では困ります。

    進捗状況をパーセンテージで確認できると嬉しいです。

  15. We would like to be able to preview files encrypted with Microsoft MIP from Box./フォルダ・ファイルレポートのフォルダ絞りこみ機能でフォルダIDを指定できるようにしてほしい。

    The function to filter by the current folder name wastes time because it does not know which folder is the target folder when there are multiple identical folder names.

    (In Japanese)
    現在のフォルダ名で絞込をかける機能は、同一のフォルダ名が複数存在した場合にどれが対象フォルダなのかが分からず無駄な時間が発生します。

  17. Allow Excel to open "Export Users" report (csv) without worrying about garbled characters

    Admin Console > Users&Groups > Managed Users > Export Users

    Please change "Export Users" report to the format of the UTF8 csv file with BOM

    The format of the "Export Users" report has been changed to csv.
    Therefore, when you import it into Excel as it is, the characters will be garbled.

    ​The workaround now:
    We change it to csv file with UTF8 BOM in a text editor now before importing it into Excel.

    However, this workaround would required few extra steps before importing it into Excel.

  19. Require Passwords at Admin Level

    As a security feature, it would be helpful to require passwords for all shared links. Right now they are only required at the User level and it is optional. It would be very helpful as a security feature to allow admins to mandate a password for all shared links.

    4. Shared Links without password expiry
    5. PII sensitive count
    6. PCI sensitive count
