  1. Provide separate Mobile security settings in Admin console (or API) for EMM and Public apps.

    The ability to provide both EMM and public app but with different security configuration for each. Public is read only and EMM would allow editing. Right now, they either provide editing capabilities via EMM and lock out a majority of users or provide Preview only capabilities with no editing to all users.

  3. Long audio data upload from Box Mobile fails

    When you "record audio" and tap "save recording" in the Box Mobile application, "Saving" is displayed, but the file is not saved on box.
    It occurs when the capacity is large (recording time is long), and when it occurs, the recorded data disappears without being saved anywhere, which is a problem.
    I'm hoping for an improvement that will allow stable uploading of long recording data.
    If the upload fails, I would like the data to remain on the terminal or be able to retry.

    <Box Mobileからの長時間の音声データのアップロードに失敗する>
    Box Mobile アプリケーションで「音声を録音」し、「録音を保存」をタップすると、「保存しています」と表示されるが、box上にファイルが保存されない現象が発生します。
    容量が大きい(録音時間が長い)場合に発生し、発生した場合に録音データがどこにも保存されずに消えてしまうことが問題となっています。
    長時間の録音データでも安定したアップロードができるような改善を期待しています。
    アップロードに失敗した場合は端末にデータが残るか、リトライできるようにしてほしいです。

  4. Split screen in Box app on ipad

    The ability to split screen on iPad to simultaneously work on different documents in Box. This would enable the ability to compare files side by side the same way you would with 2 screens on PC.

  5. box mobile location

    Photo location is only captured through continuous capture. If you go to a folder and click on the "+" sign to "Take a Photo or Video" this will not capture the location of the photo in the properties. Request to update the upload function from browsing the folder first to capture photo location in addition to continuous capture.

  7. Saving scanned documents

    It would be great if I could set a default folder for my scanned documents rather than having them just go into the main Box folder.

  8. Box Mobile - GPS coordinates and Date Taken

    Box Mobile – GPS coordinates metadata location. In Box capture, capture saves location metadata about the photo, the longitude and latitude coordinates as Box metadata. The Box Mobile app photo does not save location as metadata on Box but instead you have to access the File Information to get the longitude and latitude of the photo. This is a request to update the Box Mobile to save the location coordinates (metadata) as metadata in Box in addition to file information.

    Also, Box app doesn’t capture the metadata for “Date Taken”

  9. Box Capture App needs a back button

    Better navigation through the Box Capture app would be great. Since there is no BACK button, there is no way to easily navigate through the application which is a great. Having this option would make it easy to toggle back and forth between sub-folders and help speed up uploading information to their corresponding folders - Henry

  10. When selecting a folder to move/copy items to in the Box for EMM/Box app, please make it possible to select from collections as well.

    When moving/copying data in Box using iPhone, we need to point to a specific folder from the top hierarchy, which is time-consuming.
    When selecting a folder to move/copy these data to, please make it so that the selection can start from the hierarchy where the data is.
    Also, when selecting a folder to move/copy to, please make it possible to select from collections as well.
    (We use the Box for EMM/Box application).

    iPhoneからBox内にあるデータを移動/コピーする場合において、トップの階層から指定のフォルダを指示する必要があり手間がかかります。
    これらのデータの移動/コピー先を選択する際は、データのある階層から選択がスタートできるように設定して欲しい。
    また、移動/コピー先のフォルダを選択する際に、コレクションからも選択できるようにしてください。
    (Box for EMM/Boxアプリを利用しています。)

    Collections are a link to a file, rather than the location where the file is saved. In order to accomplish the above ask, please select the file in question and “add” it to the desired collection.

  11. Document Scanning - Name document prior to upload

    Currently not able to name a document or file prior to upload using document scanning & only renaming after it has been uploaded. Development requested to be able to name the file upon scan.

  13. Ability to open password protected files from mobile devices

    Until a few weeks ago, password protected files could be opened through the mobile app from a mobile device. Now the attempt to open a password protected file results in an error of "Decryption failed. (null). Password protected files cannot be opened from mobile device from m.box.com or www.box.com either (error is different). Seems to defeat purpose of cloud based storage since so many users depend on a mobile device to open view files from Box storage.

  14. Allow default to full screen view on iPad horizontal view (like portrait view)

    I like to view box in full screen and because I use landscape view often, I have to hit the double arrow every time I go to a page. In portrait view it automatically goes to full screen view. I'd like an option to automatically go to full screen in landscape.

  15. Folder transition improvement in Box for iOS, including EMM

    [Feature Request]
    Please improve the folder transition when selecting a file on iOS and opening it with Box for iOS (including EMM).

    • Please be able to show a shortcut to any folder at open-in
    • Please be able to specify the folder to be displayed at open-in

    [Request Background]
    The folder displayed in Open In is always the root folder of the user, and it is cumbersome and inefficient to reach the desired folder, which has an impact on business operations.

    I want to use the above method to improve efficiency.

  17. Can't browse on mobile after setting a password for a shared link

    We can access a file by create a shared link for a file in Box Web App without "Password Protect" for "People with the link" and opening the URL in a web browser on a mobile device.

    Then, when the shared link is set to "Password Protect" from the Web App and then opened again on the mobile device, the message "This shared file or folder has been deleted" is displayed and the file cannot be accessed.
    The expected behavior is to display the password entry screen.

    The workaround for this issue is to clear the browser cache, and the…

  20. Unify nomenclature for permission levels between mobile and web clients

    We've noticed that the same feature is called differently in Desktop-browser, iOS app and Android app

    Specifically the link type 'Invited people only' is called 'People in this folder' in iOS (which I actually like better) and 'People in this file and folder' in Android

    Can you pass this feedback onto the product team? I don't think it makes sense to be inconsistent between the platforms
