  1. 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)

  2. Ability to insert custom words as watermark

    If a user could add "Confidential" or "Company Secret" into watermarking,
    the customer would be able to leave the legal evidence of the statement that the corresponding files are not allowed to disclose externally.
    Also, it would be better if there is an option to set watermarking by folders as well.

  3. Change the default security of a shared link, to "People in this file" or "People in this folder" rather than "Anyone with the link"

    Change the default security of a shared link, to "People in this file" or "People in this folder" rather than "Anyone with the link" (which is the current default).

    Whenever a shared link is created in box, the default access permission assigned to the new Shared Link, is "Anyone with the link" unless Account-level permissions are specifically changed by a knowledgeable user. This is not a secure choice at all. It's too easy to create a large number of Shared Links which, by default, are open to absolutely anyone in the entire world to whom the link gets forwarded to.…

  4. Option to Remove Expiration of a Collaborator after Auto-Expiration is disabled

    Admin request option when disabling Auto-Expiration feature for collaborators within Enterprise:

    1. Allow option to choose extension date for pre-existing collaborators who's access is going to expire.
    2. Allow option to disable/remove auto expiration for collaborators by Admin or Owner.

    This will affect multiple user across our enterprise where they will have to be re-invited to folders since expiration cannot be removed.

    Thank you for your note! We will consider this request with additional demand.

  5. Provide a complementary Event in the Events API that a file has been successfully scanned for viruses

    We would like to take an action on a file once it has been successfully scanned for viruses. The files are being uploaded from an external party through a white labeled application.

    We understand we would get an event that a malicious file has been found. We would also like the opposite event that a file has been scanned and has not been found to be malicious via the API.

  7. Improve event information on shared link changes

    When running Reports > Usage Logs > select all for "File Sharing" in the Admin Console, you currently only see that a user modified a Shared Link access level. This new feature would allow admins to see what access level the Shared Link was prior to and after the change.

    This is important if an admin wants to know how accessible the content was when the Shared Link was initially created and shared.

  8. External user verification via TOTP for shared links

    Please consider adding a TOTP verification option for shared links. You could allow a link to be shared to an email address but require TOTP verification via that same email address. This would help verify that only someone with access to the email address we shared with can access the content without forcing them to signup for a free Box account.

    Thank you

  9. MFA option to be TOTP or SMS or Email

    When the MFA option is released currently the option is:
    1. TOTP
    2. TOTP or SMS or Email.

    Can you make it a check list so we can enable the one we want?
    For example, I only want TOTP and SMS.

  10. Report on pinned devices

    I would like to get a report on all currently active pinned devices in our enterprise. I can run a report for ‘devices added’, but it didn’t provide the information I wanted, so I added ‘devices removed’. Is there a SIMPLE way to get a report of all pinned devices?

  12. Open Shared Link Controls: Add "Default" option for 'download' permissions on Shared Links

    Example: Disable 'download' permissions on all shared links by default, but allow users to re-enable 'download' permissions on a link-by-link basis.

    Allow admins to default the "Let link viewers" option in Content & Sharing in Enterprise Settings. Currently we can restrict or allow this feature, but we cannot set the default option like we can we shared link access levels.

  13. Enable 2FA renewal requirement options for external collaborators

    Background:
    2FA for external collaborators does not require a re-2FA. The only way an external person will have to re-2FA is if they switch browsers or clear cache/history. I have an external user that set up 2FA in November of 2021 that hasn’t had to re-2FA to our box environment since. It has been so long that she didn’t even remember setting it up (it is Aug ’22 now). The current box 2FA implementation effectively moves the security away from box and on to the end user’s device / environment. Being external partners, we have no insight into how secure…

  14. 2 factor authentication

    Just been chatting with the support guys ... When turning on 2FA, the first log in prompts for the auth code. However, every login after that drops back to just asking for username/password. (unless you clear your browser down every time !)

    for 2fa to be effective, the system should ask for the auth code at every login otherwise there is no point in enabling it.

  15. Increase minimum characters required for password

    When making password requirement settings through the Admin Console security tab the range for minimum required characters only go up to 12. Can this be customised or increased to have more required characters than 12 up to 15?

  17. Folder-level access control

    Box needs folder-level access control so that you can assign a specific user access level to a specific folder and not have it inherit the "waterfall" (unwanted) access level. This has been an issue for many years.

  19. Enforcing Security on Public shared link

    Public link is a good option to share a file with ones who can not have box account for various reasons.

    However to share a sensitive file with such parties, Whether the password and expiry can be enforced to set on a public shared link via security policy for a given file classification?
