Viewer does NOT see Download button in Context Menu ('...' menu) nor in Action Bar when multiple items are selected
.Given that Viewers have the ability to download watermarked files, the Download button should appear everywhere as normal. This ticket is to add the Download button in the following two locations for Viewers:
* File list context menu ('...' menu)
* Action bar when performing a multi-select2 votes -

Route files to a specific user via the embed widget
We would like to be able to pick what user content goes to with one widget.
2 votesI think this would be better addressed with platform elements. This way, you can build out the exact functionality you seek.

FTPS access for collaborators to a subfolder rather than through root level credentials
Use Case: Research studies using radiology images that come in large image sets from tools like MRI scanners which can have hundreds to thousands of images which make it impossible or impractical to use the web interface.
However, they are still external collaborators who should have the ability to send files.

Users with View Uploader permissions should have the ability to edit folders they create
In this case, the viewer uploader is the owner of the sub folder they have created, but they cannot do anything to it once it is created.
Can it be filed to be reviewed or modified? If a person can create a folder, surely they can rename it, move files into it. If Box does not want the viewer uploader to be able to rename a folder or move items into it, do not allow viewer uploader the ability to create a sub folder.
2 votesAgreed that it is somewhat strange a viewer uploader can create a subfolder. I believe this was put in place, because creating a folder is somewhat like taking the upload action.
Sometimes, when many files are uploaded, it is cleaner to upload them all in one place, and so that is why the Viewer Uploader is granted this permission.
One particular odd consequence, is this person can now create a folder but not rename it (let’s say they made a typo).
This is not oft-requested and impacts a small minority of users. We can look at fixing this in the future with additional customer demand.

Shared Links - Ability to Have Multiple Shared Links per Item (Folder/File)
Currently, Box's shared link system is a 1:1 ratio between items (files/folders) and shared links, meaning there's 1 shared link per item.
However, there are various scenarios where users would like to have the ability to create multiple shared links per item, each link with different permissions, etc.
Example Use Case: For File A...
--I want one 'people with the link' link with a password added and an auto-expiration set for 10 days from today so that I can share this link to time-sensitive content externally
--I also want a persistent 'people in your company' link that my internal colleagues…2 votes -

Direct DICOM upload endpoint desired
Our admin would rather not use the DICOM import tool to upload DICOM images to use with the Viewer (and they don't have a PAC server). We're also uploading non-DICOM files that are relevant to the study, so having two separate UIs for an upload is inconvenient.
1 voteThank you for this request. However, we will not be focusing on this feature this year. We will revisit this with additional demand.

If a user invites a collaborator, that they receive an error message if that email does not exist.
Right now, if a user invites someone using an email that does not exist, it just remains in pending.

Introduce a combination of version labels and version dependent permissions.
Compared to legacy ECM systems, versioning in box is limited to data states over time. There is no notion of a document lifecycle attached to a certain version (WIP, draft, published).
The mandatory check in/out of legacy ECM makes the system very user unfriendly. However, it would be nice if we could somehow label certain versions. The list of labels could either be fixed, or user definable.
If we combine this feature with a new permission: "view documents with status published", we could now have one directory where people work on their documents, but external people would only see the…

Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing
The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT
Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

Provide event trigger for renaming a file for webhooks.
Create a script to automatically rename files that have had their name changed. This would be easier if there was an event trigger so that we could proactively run the script using a web hook.
We can run a script once a day or something to do this based on a lookup table with folder IDs and the names we are SUPPOSED to have.

Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails
We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing
If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.
1 voteThank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Query-less search
Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.

Extend box' capabilities with client protocols.
In banking a lot of external content is accessed: reports from Bloomberg, other financial information, etc. Most of these pieces of information reside on FTP / SFTP / FTPS / Webdav systems.
It would be nice if box could be extended in such a way that users have the possibility to access this content from within box. The idea is to have a new folder type (external content), which can then be configured with a connection string, user name and password. Users could then just browse those external sources from within box.
Ideally a copy and paste should also be…

Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.
However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.
I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.
