When an app is disabled for use, the client ID should be displayed on error page
When an app has been disabled, the error page displayed should surface the client ID in a manner that end users are familiar with instead of having to copy the URL and provide the ID from there. This is particularly useful because
1) the name of the app is missing from the error page
2) when it is a custom app that has been disabled it is removed entirely from the GUI which makes it difficult to track down.1 vote -
Restrict Apps (such as Box Sync) to a Group
With the impending deprecation of Box Sync I was looking to see about removing the Box Sync app from the Box App Store. I only see an option to disable Sync which would remove the apps, but also cause any installed Box Sync clients to start throwing errors since the service had been disabled.
I was told by support that I could turn Sync off for specific users, but we have way too many to make the adjustments on. While we don't use groups now, if there was a way to make apps available or unavailable at the group or…

Admin aggregate account-wide trash folder
It would be helpful to have access to an aggregate Trash folder for the entire account such that finding recently deleted items is as easy as browsing to that folder and sorting by date deleted.

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…13 votes -
Automatically apply metadata and tags to folders and files with pulse
Box provides users and organizations the ability to apply tags and metadata; however, trusting all users in an organization to know when and how to apply tags and metadata is not plausible.
Box admins should be able to use Box Relay so that whenever a file or a folder is created/uploaded to a certain section of Box in our organization, then a tag or meta data flag is applied.
Example:
I have a folder called 2021 Tax Documents
Tag I want Applied: 2021 Tax Documents
Example File Name: File AIn the example above, as soon as the example file…

Group Creation Based on IdP Attributes
Please allow the automatic creation of groups in Box based on attributes being passed from the IpD. In my specific case I want to limit certain content to students and other content to faculty and staff. Having users automatically added to the group would help manage access to the correct resources.
Thanks for your vote!

Deactivate all shared links at once
Problem: Shared link sprawl due to poor/absent use of shared link expiration features, with no way to remove them in bulk. Our organization now has upwards of 40k shared links that we have no way of clearing feasibly.
Solution: Option of deactivating all shared links for an organization.

External files are displayed in Content Manager
The External Collaboration Report outputs folders and files that are invited from outside as "external folder" and "external file".
The Content Manager only displays external folders, which is not consistent.
Therefore, we would like the external folders to be displayed in the Content Manager as well.2 votes -
Enable us to tag folders with specific colors, to indicate whether they're populated or not.
I would like to be able to tag folders (or choose their literal color, green red blue etc) to indicate whether or not they're complete, incomplete, populated, etc. My company often uses Box to sort invoices and W9 forms for contractors we hire on individual projects, and tracking down all that paperwork can be tedious. If I can, for example, color a folder Grey if it's empty, Yellow if it has an invoice but is missing a W9, and Green if it's fully populated, it'll save me the trouble of having to manually enter each folder and check.

Ability to export file requests dashboard
With time, many file requests have been created. The file request dashboard is a welcome addition, however additional features would be needed so we can actually take actions:
- export all active file requests filtered by Box Group so that we can share that with champions for different departments to look into
- search/filter by user and folder name3 votes -

Reduce welcome messages
The ability to turn off welcome messages when a new user logs in. Its very busy for the user to have to click through a bunch of screens showing all the features and then have a another window on the side showing how to do things.

Ability to set a display image for the group
I want to be able to set any image in the group.
Because it can be difficult to understand the purpose of a group just by the name of the group.
The image should be set to make it easier to understand what the group is.4 votes -
Folder path and Page numbers missing from Bin (Box Admin)
Box Admins will regularly view Box accounts of a user, and the user's Bin. Without the Folder Path displayed (which should be SORTABLE and FILTER on), it is difficult to isolate content that was deleted from a specific location.
Instead it is necessary to run a Box Report of a folder, which does include the folder path, then sort the Bin by Updated column, scroll through multiple pages to find content before restoring (hopefully) the correct one(s)
The Bin should display the folder path for each row (where blank Details column is), and be able to SORT that column and…

User access provisioning
Currently when provisioning folder access for users, the console looks messy with every item listed and 'none' shown next to the granted access - it would be more helpful to only show what they have access to and their level of access. Adding access to a new folder that exists could be done with a dropdown search box

Folder ownership transfer warning message
When transferring ownership of folders, there is no warning message that it will take some time, and no warning that it will make those folders/files inoperable until every folder has been successfully transfered to a new user.
Can we please add a warning that ownership changes to folders will sometimes take days depending on the file size, and that none of the files/folders can be used until the ownership transfer is complete? Not having this warning caused 4 days of downtime for my company.

Include file and folder IDs in user activity report
Running a user activity report for a deleted user shows the parent folder names the user was removed from, but no ID so there is no way to determine which folder they were removed from. (i.e. a searching for the parent folder called ACE returns 180 such folders).

Ability to specify items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the user activity report.
It seems that the specification is also intended to check the movement of items before and after they are moved to the recycle bin, but I would like you to be able to specify the items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the report.
Currently, it is a specification that can not be searched if it is moved to the trash box when the item name is surely grasped.
Items cannot be specified in the target folder and file items.If it can be specified at the time of reporting even if it has been moved…
