  2. Mask or hide email addresses

    There is a need to hide or mask email addresses for instance we have service accounts by business unit that 'own' all of the content and also high-level executives that cannot be spammed by external collaborators.

  3. Add configurable governance alerting

    Add configurable alerting in an effort to preventing directory and permission sprawl or detecting anomalous access

    At this point we may require additional products or custom development to address this problem.

    An example of a real world problem is if Jane has two box accounts one managed by the firm and the second a personal account, there is nothing to prevent or alert us if Jane copies enmasse company property

  4. Add ability to share content with a distribution list

    There is no ability to “share with anyone who has the link” like in Google Drive or similar tools, but should be configurable by an administrator for specific folders.

  5. Add granularity to shared link controls

    Based on organizational requirements and the variance, there should be additional controls such as limiting the capability to create shared links (open Links) to Admins or designated personnel as an option. This would allow for greater granularity as some divisions within an organization may have a need to share publicly, while also securing sensitive information

    For now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.

    Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.

  6. Send a "here's how your items are shared" report to each user periodically

    One of the most common sources of security breaches is due to a user inadvertently sharing an item more broadly or for longer than they intended.

    A simple way to help limit those sorts of security breaches would be for Box to email every user a report periodically (configurable by the admin, but roughly monthly) that said "Here's how everything you own is shared with other people, and here's a link to the KB article that'll tell you how to fix it if it's not what you want", then showed a report of their folders, files, and shared links, with…

  7. Create an auditor role

    A Non-Admin role is required that is able to view reports and configuration but unable to make changes or have any access to the contents of users' folders... Basically the Auditor role.

    • Inventory of Users and Roles
    • Identify folders that has not been accessed in 180 days
    • Identify folders that are accessible to anyone with the links
    • Identify the links that do not have expiration date
    • Review security settings
    • Review alerts

  10. Customize watermark to include version, update date

    I’d like to use the watermark or a similar feature to print the Version Number and Last Update Date on PowerPoint and PDF files. I understand you can view this in Version History, but I’d like to see it super-imposed on the content.

  11. 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?

  14. 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?

  15. The ability to check the characters when setting/typing the password for shared link and account

    When we're entering passwords of shared links and accounts, we want to check it by seeing the actual characters.

    For example, this request has been achieved on the following page:

    https://account.box.com/signup/n/personal

    Is it possible for you to implement the same button in the account ligin page and the shared link setting window?

  16. 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.

  17. Password reset process is cumbersome

    Even with the understanding that my specific situation might add a few steps, it is significantly longer and more involved than the analogous process for any other product, tool, or service that I use. I have described the steps that I have to go through and would encourage the Box Developers and UX Teams to consider a more seamless way to do this in some future release.

    Reset Password – Box Drive
    Key:
    - = optional step, performed for positive validation that the new password was accepted
    + = step that is specific to my setup

  18. bulk manage Shared Links

    Provide a way for all shared links in an account to have their permission levels / access levels / expiry dates modified in bulk, rather than having to change each one individually which is extremely time consuming for large doc sets.

  19. 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.…

  20. Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders

    Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.
