Automatic actions based on alerts
We would like to be able to set automated actions based on alerts. For example if Box detects anomalous download with a risk score higher than e.g. 60 or a set threshold of number of files, the user’s account will be locked to stop further downloads.
A message should then be sent to the user and IT admin that it has been locked due to anomalous download detection. Then IT need to do a investigate and take action, or reactivate the account if it is a false positive.
The pain point of not having this option is that the current…

Check the details of SSO for external collaborators
We can require 2-FA for external collaborators, but for external collaborators using SSO, Box does not check for whether users pass multi-factor authentication. Please add the ability what kind of authentications(ID/Pass, MFA, Device check, IP address limitation, etc) does external collaborators passed on SSO.

Need guest authentication by own AzureAD for external collaborators
We can require 2-FA for external users, but it’s not enough security level to some customers. So, please add the ability to require guest authentication by own AzureAD for external collaborators.

Persistent cookies
Similar to Okta and Google Drive, we need the ability in Box to set use persistent cookie so the cookie doesn't expire when the browser is closed.
Google Drive allows this by default, and Okta lets us specify the policy for specific users:
( see usePersistentCookie according in https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/policy/#signon-session-object)Workflow:
* launch browser, go to Okta, and log in (our IDP)
* open up the box link - everything works
* close the browser
* open the browser
* I'm still logged into Okta (since I have usePersistentCookie turned on)
* when I go to a Box link, I'm…2 votes -

Capability to finalize files
It would be useful if it's possible to "finalize" files. Means some persons work on a file together until it is finalized and then prevent any further modification on the file. There is the Lock function, but then the person who locked the file, could still unlock it.

"Automatically remove invited collaborators" - override/shorten
I have enabled "Automatically remove invited collaborators" specifically for External Collaborators, under Enterprise settings > Content & Sharing.
There are use cases (per folder) where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to /override/ & shorten the expiration for an External Collaborator. This could be due to a contract or any other reason.
The only method to do this now, is to delete the entire folder and all content.
Example Use Case:
Enterprise settings:
- Content & Sharing > Invited collaborators expiration settings
-- Automatically remove invited collaborators
-- Remove after [ 90 ] days
-- Apply these settings to…3 votes -
Enable ability to require that someone shares their email when depositing a File Request
Enable ability to require that someone shares their email when depositing a File Request.
Today, I can only require someone to login to their Box account OR use a text field that says email, but I want a field SPECIFICALLY called email inside of File Request, so that I can trigger a Box Relay workflow to notify the email of whoever triggered the workflow (e.g. if a submission is denied, I want to notify them that it was denied and to include why........ if a submission was approved, I want to notify them that it was approved and to include…

Shared link expiration - based on no interaction
It would help increase security if we had an option for external links - if they aren’t interacted with after a number of days (30,60,90, etc) they’re deactivated. Our team shares content but there is often turnover and no way to know if links are still out there. With an external link report, it would help show what's out there, but would be helpful to have additional controls.

Folders to which only managed users can be invited
【Request】
Regarding the "Restrict collaboration to within {OrganizationName}" setting in the folder settings,
I would like the definition of users recognized as users in the organization to be selectable from the following two options
・Users who have same domains OR Managed Users (Same as current specifications)
・Only Managed Users【Current specifications ＆ Issues】
Currently, for folders with this setting turned on, users can invite others who meet either of the following conditions
- Managed users of the tenant
- Users with a Box account with an email address in the registered domainAs it stands, this specification allows free accounts…

Restrict day of week and/or times when licensed users can authenticate into Box
Allow admins the option to restrict which days of the week and/or time of day is allowed for licensed users to authenticate into Box, individually and/or as part of a role/Box Group. This would be helpful for multiple use-cases. Restricting Box access at specific times can assist with ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws, limiting changes that can be made in Box to times when staff will be available to respond and/or address changes, and limiting access during periods where access is not expected or desired by the licensing organization helping to better secure Box content.

Modify session duration across all plans
A 14 day session duration is a highly unnecessary security risk for any organization working information with any level of sensitivity. Please open up the ability to reduce this to any paid plan, rather than only the Enterprise plan. It feels like a very minor thing compared to the more complex feature sets and automation that otherwise distinguish the plans. It was sub-optimal, but somewhat acceptable, to not be able to reduce this when the default was 48 hours, but it's really concerning to not be able to do so now that the default has been made so much longer.

Restrict the ability to create shared links for specific folders
I want to be able to disable the option to create a shared link on specific folders containing sensitive information. If I give access to an external collaborator, it means that I gave him an access with a username (his email) and password. i have the option to see if he downloaded or viewed the file. I don't want that external collaborator to create a shared link and send it to someone else.

Box Relay: Remove Collaborators and Shared Links
We would like the ability to use Box Relay to automatically remove all Collaborators and Shared Links from a folder and all of the sub-items within that folder.
This functionality would be used to secure company files when an employee is off-boarded and ideally this process would be generated by placing a folder within another folder.1 vote -

MFA Excluded User List Needed
MFA Excluded User List Needed - if a user has to switch MFA devices, as of now the Admin would need to globally turn MFA off for everyone, also an admin might need to setup a box account and login as a user (say using lastpass) before the hire date, thus they need to be on an exclusion list until they start, additionally automated processes might need a login that would be excluded from MFA needs direclty within box, thus the requirement for an exclusion list for MFA that is freely adjustable.
5 votes- We will soon have the ability to download back up codes that can be used in case you don't have access to your MFA device.
- Certain Box plans have the ability to exempt specific users from MFA.
- We do have this exclusion list for external users.
Given these, we don't have plans to add an exclusion list for managed user MFA at this point.

Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain
Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain.
We have a need to keep folder collaboration available to only a specific group of internal users but we would like to be able to have the ability to share files or folders with external collaborators in specific domains. Almost like another level of the "Invited People" type of link. Can this be considered as an enhancement?

Cryptographic Erasure
Following NIST 800-88, we need the ability to 'destroy' certain high sensitivity data. Cryptographic Erasure is one of the options, basically encrypting the data and then losing the key. Until then, certain research projects and grants that require data destruction or DoD level erasure (and we are seeing lots of boilerplate contracts with that requirement) will not be hosted in Box.

Child Sexual Abuse Material
Apple's recent announcement of measures taken to improve child safety (https://www.apple.com/child-safety/) have raised an important concern about content stored in Box and what measures we can take as an enterprise to address it. While there does not appear to be anything that we can do at this point, perhaps adding a feature in Shield that provides MD5 pattern matching (similar to known malware scanning) that would allow administrators to be alerted when this kind of material shows up in their Box instance.
Background on the issue: https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/csam
