  1. We would like to be able to see and restore the contents of folders from a previous point in time./過去の時点のフォルダーの内容の参照および復元を可能として欲しい。

    We would like to be able to see and restore the contents of folders from a previous point in time.
    It would be easier to manage folders if there was a function to restore files and folders from "previous versions" in the standard Windows functions.

    (InJapanese)
    過去の時点のフォルダーの内容の参照および復元を可能として欲しい。
    Windowsの標準機能で言うと、「以前のバージョン」からファイルやフォルダを復元するような機能があると、フォルダ管理をしやすくなる。

  2. Improve Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance

    mprove Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance - specifically when it relates to file types like .eml or .msg.
    1) Allow for exceptions - e.g. quarantine all content that is uploaded with .msg, but allow it for Y folder. Use case: one team in particular needs to be able to save this type of content to Box and has permission from legal to do so.
    2) Change the "Email" option to include "User who violated the policy" - for example, in addition to sending a warning email to Admins who want to track upload of .eml files, also send the email…

  3. The Ability to query which legal hold policy is assigned to a file.

    We have 10s of millions of files assigned to a single legal hold policy. We would need to be able to query by file ID to see which policy is attached to the file instead of the current way which is query by legal hold to see what files are assigned. That way doesn't work for us due to the number of files assigned to a single policy.

  4. View Legal Hold Policy for File/Folder in Web App

    Need the ability for users to be able to view in the web app which Legal Hold Policy their content is held under. Just like how the web app currently shows in case of Retention Policies.

  5. Ability to move deleted trash items to org wide "Vault"

    User some times delete trashed items by accident (instead of restoring them), asking Box Admins to raise support ticket to retrieve from the backup.

    Also, some organizations have legal requirements or policies to retain files & folders indefinitely, yet want to hide from users when user have decided to deleted completely from their Trash.

    This shall hide permanently deleted trashed items from the users, but allowing Box Admins to see/retain them and quickly restore accidentally deleted trashed items.

  6. Ability to automatically set auto-deletion of subfolders under a given folder.

    Currently, we can manually set auto-deletion of a folder via folder settings. We want auto-deletion be set automatically for all newly created folders and files that are under a given folder (in a similar way as how folder-based retention policy auto-delete file versions under the folder.). Unlike retention policy which only admins can configure via admin console, we want this feature to be configurable by end users.

  9. UI for Legal Holds

    A piece of UI feedback on legal holds: the buttons “release” and “report” are quite close to each other, but do drastically different things. While there is a secondary confirmation screen, it still might be useful to create more physical separation between the two to prevent mistakes.

  10. Contents Security should report the cause of policy violation

    When [Contents Security] catches a policy violation, Box tells the name of policy only.   So Box users need to find the violation data though the file.   If Box can explain a detail point of violation, it will help users to understand and find the cause of violation quickly and easily.

  11. Reset Governance settings

    JFE Steel like to reset Governance setting when Box turned on Governance setting again. JFE Steel set up upload policy when they had POC. Then they did not purchase Governance. When they purchased the Governance later, the setting the customer configured before became effective again. This confused customer. So, Governance setting should be reset when Box turned on the feature.

  12. Custom Terms of Service - Archive of Previous ToS Text

    Currently, when changes are made to the text in an existing custom ToS, Box does not save the original text that was signed off by previous users. Only the most up to date version of the text will be available in Box. I would like to request that, for compliance reasons, there's an archive of previous ToS available so it is clear which specific language each user has signed off on.

  14. Admin report or interface showing exactly where in a given file the Upload Policy was violated.

    We are leveraging the Policies engine to create Upload Policies to detect and prevent PII from being uploaded into Box. When the upload policy exception is triggered, we would like to see a report or somewhere on the screen exactly where in the document the file violated the policy.

    Ideally, by knowing what exactly triggered the policy, we would then use the 'Mark as False Positive' feature in the Content Manager Quarantine location to improve the Policy Engine's accuracy accordingly.

  15. Include link to folder/file shared in admin email notification for sharing policies

    Currently, the email notification for a sharing policy only shows who sent the collaboration invite and to whom rather than showing the content that was shared. This requires an admin to pull a collaboration report each time to verify what was shared.

    While the request here is clear, this is not planned on our roadmap. The workaround would be to alert a set of admins on the account and have them deactivate or make the user inactive.

    While this is a very understandable request, most customers are using a third-party eDiscovery tool and therefore we’d like to focus on higher and broader impact features.

  18. Add 'Released Holds' Section to Legal Holds UI

    Currently, there's no way (aside from digging through Box events) to look at Legal Hold policies that have been 'released'.

    This means that once a user clicks 'Release' on a hold, there's no UI for that hold anymore whatsoever.

    Digging through unique events in Usage Logs is not an answer to 'show me the holds that we've released - I want to take a quick look at the holds the team has been releasing recently'.

    REQUEST: Add a 'Released Holds' section to the bottom of the existing Legal Holds UI in the Admin Console.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    We explored this during our initial investigations, and our customers told us they did not want record of prior holds in this view, thus potentially implicating them in still being responsible for the litigation.

    This is not planned work but may be reconsidered if there is a ton of customer feedback to the contrary.

  19. The ability to limit the options for extending the retention period

    We only want content to live in Box for a set period of time and want to limit the ability for content owners to extend retention after period is up.

    This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

  20. When the Allow Content to be Deleted by Users option is selected, allow admin to customize follow-up reminders

    For a retention policy, the retention notification is sent to the owner 14 days prior to the expiration date. It looks like this is the only reminder the owner receives.

    REQUEST: When the Allow Content to be Deleted by Users option is selected, all admin to customize follow-up reminders to the Owner/Co-Owners once the retention period has passed. This option does not auto-delete the content so reminders would help ensure that they review the file and delete if necessary.

    This is an interesting use case. We will re-consider this work if we find it has a large impact on a substantial amount of our users.
