  1. Allow filtering by application name or service type within the reporting UI (ie: Box FTP Server).

    Currently, I can filter in the reporting UI by clicking things like the user or file name from the reporting results. I used to be able to click on "Service: etc", but it didn't do anything.

    Box has since removed the ability to click on this, but we would find it helpful to be able to filter these results within the reporting UI.

  2. Account Creation Notification: When new users are added, email admins => unclear wording and missing feature

    When a new account is created, notifications should not go to all admins. Admin should have the choice to select who gets the notification (all Admins, main admin, co-admins, specific co-admin)

    Most large organizations have co-admins assigned to monitor created users, to support / track and managed account creation and tie it to SSO or internal helpdesk processes.

  3. User Activity report: Add number of folders user has been invited into and number of folders user has invited others into".

    This requires a lot of Excel merging today and not easy to get to this information.

  5. Generate Report directly from the "View Report" link in "unusual activity" notification email to admin

    Please explore changing the Unusual User Activity notification emails to admins to actually spin out the report for a user when the "View Report" link is clicked, instead of prompting admins to run the report manually after clicking "View Report."

  6. Admin console page default for co-admins

    Box security best practices, and those of many other enterprises, dictate that no one use the Box super admin account except for very specific purposes like granting or removing co-admin rights to another account.

    Day-to-day Box administration is done with co-admin accounts.

    Request: co-admin account be given the option to set the admin console as its home page like the super admin account can.

  8. Provide total number of files in Account info

    Currently if you go to Admin Console > ent settings > account info, we can see total storage space used in the Box instance. Can you add total # of files in the enterprise?

    This is not planned for our current roadmap. We will let you know if anything changes.

  9. Report of all comments in a folder

    This report would include a each file name and any comments/captions related to the file. This could be used to quickly identify files with similar names, such as images uploaded through Box Capture.

  11. Notify all collaborators who are affected by automatically disabled shared link

    When shared links are expired, only the item owner is notified. "affected users" only include folder owner

  12. Allow admin exceptions to enterprise settings that restricts external link creation

    We deal with sensitive financial information and would like the highest level of restriction.

    However, we'd like to add an admin exception to restrictive settings.

    For example, we'd like to have a zip file for a program that is accessible via open shared link owned by the admin account.

  13. Customize 'Get Training' Link in '?' Menu

    Currently the '?' menu in the webapp header includes a few links, including the following blurb: "Need more help? Visit our Help Center or Get Training"

    'Help Center' by default links to the Box Community site (community.box.com), but we allow admins to override this link via the 'Support Site URL' field in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Custom Setup.

    'Get Training' is also linked in the blurb above (linking to training.box.com), but we currently do NOT allow admins to customize this URL.

    This is problematic for some customers (especially large customers) that have fully staffed internal training teams that…

    This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  14. Send a notification sent to user's when their password is about to expire.

    We use read only sync as a primary use case. Because users do not log into the webapp, they are not aware when their password expires and files are not being synced.

    Thank you for this request!

    We will review this with additional demand.

  15. Enterprise settings should trump individual folder settings

    My only recommendation is that Enterprise Settings should override individual setting and not the other way around. What if the Enterprise Site Admin account was compromised?

    Thank you for submitting this suggestion.

    We’re unlikely to look into changing our settings restriction model without additional customers requesting such an investigation. We will monitor this for additional feedback.

  16. Change the default message in text Box when inviting new collaborator to a folder

    Would like to be able to change the default text in this section to another default text. Currently, you can manually edit this section every time you add a new user to a folder. We want to be able to change what populates this section by default.

    We are unlikely to build a setting to enable changes to this default. However, if there is a better default message that may work for all of our customers, we are happy to reconsider.

  17. Checkbox default values on account deletion and content transfer process

    On account deletion and content transfer process, currently, the default value is checked off for "Notify user" checkbox. We would like to be able to toggle the default value to unchecked checkboxes.

  18. New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)

    Other applications (like Slack) have a user-level free text field (similar to a User Description / Information field) where admins or users can enter free text to describe the user.

    This is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

  19. Lite Users added to Groups when rolled in as a managed user

    When lite users are rolled in, the admins would like to have the ability to add users to groups within the WebApp UI, instead of having to add users to groups 'AFTER' they are rolled in

  20. Role configuration on group sharing

    In Enterprise setting -> Content & Sharing -> Collaborating on Content Tab, you can configure which role to enable and the permission those roles gets. This setting only applies to individual collaborator but not Group. You can disable Co-owner in that setting but still see it available when doing folder sharing with group.

    We assume that the setting above is a global thing and applies to both individual collaborators and groups, so we find it a little confusing.

    Can you put an extra option like "Apply the same role setting to group" in "Collaborating on Content" tab to better demarcate…
