  1. Independent back-up of files in box

    In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay extra for…

  2. The ability to send a file to a specified user without requesting receiver to create Box account

    We are looking for a way to share a file without requesting external receiver to create Box account. Shared Link with "anyone can access" is too open and risky so we need to specify the receiver by email etc. Dropbox provides this by Dropbox Transfer.

  4. automatically disable link expiry

    I never want my shared links to expire. I wish there was a way for me to set a link expiry preference on my account since I have to follow this process for every boxnote.

    1. create a boxnote.
    2. navigate to the folder it is in.
    3. create shared link.
    4. go to link settings.
    5. disable link expiry.

    I wish I could instead just create a box note, click share and be done with it knowing my link won't expire.

  6. 2FA when logging in using external password

    When SSO is enabled, users can use external passwords to access services that do not support SSO login. Security teams want to be able to enforce 2FA on logins using external passwords.

  7. Shared link permissions enterprise default

    A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
    +
    A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the link

    Ex. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving…

  8. Add "Edit" permission to shared link options

    We needs to share a link of many Word documents in Box with a large number of people, problem is we can't make it editable to the people who have the link. (only view and download or View only)

    would be awesome to have this option !

  9. So we used a password on a shared link that contains a greater than symbol and the link does not work

    If you create a shared link with a password that contains a greater than symbol > it will not work.
    Such as:
    T^>&4zjbFzV

    At the very least they should make it so that when you try to save a password with that symbol it throws an error right there on the form.

    Thanks

  10. Sign in with Google Across the Platform

    Sign in options are inconsistent across the Box platform. If SAML/SSO or Sign in with Google is set up with an account, it should always be accessible in any place any user attempts to authenticate. I had an account without a password created via the Sign in with Google process and this meant there was one less password floating out there for account access. In order to sign in in certain parts of box.com or in Box Drive, I am required to set a password.

  12. pdf on box is downloadable, so the hard work of authors is not protected and can be distributed. Box must prevent this.

    I was able to download a protected pdf on box. I obtained it from Cambridge. I am a school teacher, they gave me a box link to their book which they said I can use for a free months. But I was able to download the pdf. Box must make its embedded pdfs more protected to prevent illegal distribution of ebooks.

  14. capture admin role changes in event stream

    currently we receive the same event (‘Change admin role: privilege Admin role for user’) in event stream for any admin role change,
    although we performed a different action
    we would like a more detailed log
    i.e. activities like remove/add and providing the specific role as well

  17. Add more details in device trust logs

    If device trust is checking for a setting (for example OS version), then the logs should show the actual version detected. This should be for every setting Box enables you to validate. It should also have more detail about the login attempt (hostname (not just IP address), OS, Box Drive vs Box web vs etc).

    Further there should be a new event in the logs, DEVICETRUSTCHECKPASSED, with similar details so that we know the check happened and what values Box found when authorizing the device. Only having DEVICETRUSTCHECKFAILED provides no audit trail for showing…

  18. Get details on shared link without owner

    Airbnb and other companies when going through a large
    deprovision of accounts run into issues where someone shares a link of the file after the owner is
    no longer there and the collaboration is removed. But with just the file link, there is no way for the admin to get anymore details on the file.

    The feature request is the ability to get more details on a file through the link.

  19. Box lock security

    We just discovered that a user with viewer-uploader permissions can unlock files which our team believes is an unacceptable security flaw. The viewer-uploader level of security is required for a user to create a folder within a folder that we have granted them access to, but other than that level of editing our external invited partners should not have the ability to manage a security feature such as unlocking a file or folder.

  20. Allow SSO users to remove their external password again

    Since I as a user can set up an external password for my SSO account, I'd like to also be able to remove that external password when I no longer need it. This a) removes an unnecessary login method and therefore improves security and b) alleviates the need for me to regularly change a password I no longer have any use for.

    Currently this requires going through Box support (and potentially an enterprise's own internal support hierarchy before that, as in my case), whereas it could also be a simple link/button next to the "Change Password" link in my account…
