  2. Last Mile File Security (When moved out of Box)

    Last Mile File Security (When moved out of Box)

    Box is a reasonably safe platform for file security. However, when a file moves or downloads out to a user device it drops the security controls in box.

    Can there be control when the file of specific classification moves out, the downloaded copy of the file is encrypted and open to the recipient only after box authentication.

  3. GDPR- PII Detection

    Increase PII detection templates from just three Social Security no, Credit card and Custom text to more as offered by other DLP products in the marketplace.

    In addition to real-time detection, also allow discovery of the legacy data utilizing the same templates. Notification on detection could include an on-screen warning/ policy tip in addition to email and file quarantine options etc.

  4. Unable to administer Macro Enabled Office Documents in Box

    At present we have a Group Policy that prevents Macro Enabled Office documents from being opened in our environment. When a macro enabled document is uploaded into box, it circumvents the group policy and is able to be opened on our network. We'd love the ability to manage the types of documents able to be downloaded/opened on our network based on their file extension or type of document.

  6. limit deletions

    My staff need the ability to upload & download various files, but I don't want them (or me!) to have the ability to delete large swathes of my database. I can't find a way to limit this, in Box

  7. Set default permission to Previewer

    We would like the ability to set the default permission to Previewer. Most users are not changing the default permission we have setup when sharing. Being able to set the default permission to Previewer helps us manage security even better.

  8. Create exceptions for auto-expiration of sharing and external collaborators

    We have auto-expiration on file sharing but often need to share files with external collaborators for an indefinite amount of time. We can't keep re-sharing the file. Same for external collaborators - we have auto-expiration but we can't keep re-sharing folders with them.

  9. Add support to get Security logs event using Box Eventlog API

    Currently Eventlog API doesn't logs event related to enterprise setting changes by admins. These logs are available using Security report (https://app.box.com/master/reports/security) but are not available through API.
    For reference (https://community.box.com/t5/Platform-and-Development-Forum/How-to-get-security-logs-using-Box-Eventlog-API/m-p/79313#M7447)

  10. Add the automatic deletion function of external collaborators account

    Request: Add the automatic deletion function of external collaborators account
    Please add automatically delete function linked to the deletion of his company's Box account.
    Reason: Even if he changes jobs, he can still log-in to Box using his old e-mail accounts.
    We cannot control the collaborators' job change, and we cannot grasp it in a timely catch-up of his situation.
    If he changes jobs to our competitor, the risk of data breaches increases.

  11. Security Issue: File can be downloaded without permission

    Dears,

    Per the "Previewer" role definition the user can not download the file, only see the preview of the file.
    Actually it seems it is supereasy to download the file if you copy the url of content?preview=true....... initator pdf.min.js:631 type: fetch.

    I hope this helps, pls let me know if you need more deatils.

    Thanks!

  13. Alert when Password Reset is coming due

    We have our users set to reset every 90 days. We find this consitently sneaks up on our users and they end up with expired passwords and then have to reach out to our IT department for assistance. This is mainly an issue with our Drive or Mobile app only users. Your website handles it well if they use the website they will be prompted. If they are on the Mobile app it stays logged in and breaks. (Shows folders and can be navigated but unable to see files) I would greatly appreciate it if we at least had to…

  14. Event Logs: Tell the full story of what happened

    The Box Event Logs are crucial to finding out what occurred while users were logged in to the application.
    However, there are many gaps in the data that if cleaned up would provide better quality data for end users.

    I work with many companies that actively use your tool and would like to be able to tell a full story as to what their users were doing while logged in.

    For example, when an Admin Login event occurs, you see the user the admin logged in as, but you do not see the admin who logged in as the user.…

  15. Limit which applications can be used for non-trusted pc's

    I'd like the ability to limit which applications can be used to open files for non-trusted pc's (and mac's). I'd like to limit non-domain pc's to open files using Office online applications, but not using Office clients installed on the PC directly. The goal is to remove the ability for non-domain pc's to continue editing files, but not have them stored locally in any way.

  16. need to edit files but not change folder nae

    I need the ability to give users permissions so that they can upload files, edit files, delete files but not be able to change the folder name that those files are in. I'm going to use Skysync to move files there and the process will break if someone changes the folder name. Right now i don't think i can do this.

  17. Copy only - access level so collaborator cannot move files.

    Create an access level that allows a collaborator to copy a file to a different location without having to give them the editor access level.

  18. Remove External Password once Done

    I would love to see the ability to remove/disable the External password after it has been used. We have many users who only need it once or twice for something niche, but once it's set you can't undo it meaning they're stuck rotating that password every 90 days, forever, despite us being on SSO.

    Disabling this closes a login method that's no longer needed which is overall more secure, and removes a large inconvenience.

  20. Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.

    We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.
