  1. Allow customization of webapp banner color, by providing admins with the option to choose a particular color for a classification level.

    We want to be able to edit the color of the in-app classification banner. We classify the security level of content by color as a visual indicator.

    This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

  2. Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview

    When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.

    In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.

    This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.

  3. Whitelist a domain to bypass External Collaborator Expiration setting

    White list a domain which would allow to bypass the limit imposed on external collaborators. Basically, rather than the same limit on all external collaborators, set limits on individual / domain.

  4. Allow admin to disable external password

    Instead of being able to only "reset" the external passwords, we want to block the ability for users to use/access their external passwords.

  5. Allow per user exemptions for password expiration

    This would allow admins to remove automatic password expiration on service accounts or account used solely for third party integration services.

  6. SSO auto-provisioning via mobile

    We're running into an issue with their largely mobile workforce around SSO auto-provisioning via mobile. There is a pretty significant population of users who have attempted to log in for the first time via the Box for EMM app without having previously created a managed user account through the web app.

  8. New Permission Type (Edit without User Download)

    It is not possible to allow a user to open in Office Online (or other apps) without the user also being able to download. Because Office Online relies on the permissions granted to the user to execute, i.e. it uses the user permission to download to get the file from Box, therefore the user must have the ability to download.

  9. Block users by geography

    We'd like the ability to block users from accessing our Box environment from certain geographical areas, via a control in the admin console’s insights page (the geographic activity area).

  10. Watermark on Download when user has View Upload rights

    We need users who have Viewer Uploader rights to always have a document watermarked on DL. According to the ACL, Viewer Uploaders download without the Watermark.

  11. Enterprise whitelist to apply "internal" collaboration settings

    Our parent company has a large number of subsidiaries that have their own unique EIDs for a number of reasons (branding, administration, SSO settings). We also have extremely locked down external collaboration settings and as such are requesting the ability to have a whitelist of other Box enterprises that could be subject to the internal collaboration settings (e.g. no timeout on collaboration).

    We are not likely to implement this. From a customer experience perspective, it would be difficult to explain to companies not in this situation why another enterprise can enforce different collaboration settings on their users.

    There are multiple asks captured here.
    We now provide admins self serve options to rotate their certs. We will further improve SSO setup options over the coming quarters. Besides these 2, we don’t have other enhancements planned in this area.

  14. Have Device Trust perform occasional background checks on Sync client

    Have Device Trust perform occasional background checks on Sync client to ensure the device still passes, otherwise remotely logout the device.

  15. More option for IP whitelisting

    Currently, there are 2 options for IP whitelisting which are "webapp only" and "all endpoints". Is it possible to switch "API" as new option? I think "webapp only", "webapp+API", and "all endpoints" are enough options.

    There are many enterprises using cloud-based IDP like Azure AD, Okta and Centrify which can implement Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning using Box API. When "all endpoints" is set, IdP's Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning fails because they use Box API. Some enterprises are choosing "all endpoint" in Japan for their security reason, so I would appreciate if you could consider this request seriously.

  16. If virus is detected at the time of download, Virus Scan Alert on virus-found should be sent to the downloading user.

    If customer opt-in for Virus Scan, Box currently checks for a virus at the time of file download too. And Box sends an e-mail to Admin and file owner when virus is found.

    It should be a basic Box feature to alert and/or prevent a user from downloading a malicious file. Box should also quarantine or prevent a user from opening the file.

  17. Allow Device Trust to be more granular based on what content a user has access to

    Any user with access to a specific confidential folder has to go through device trust checks before logging into their account.

  19. 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. Ability to watermark audio

    We currently use a 3rd party tool called Studio CDN, a watermarking media delivery company, which can apply and detect watermarks on audio files that are shared.

    However, we would like to use Box instead so that we can securely consolidate all of our audio content on Box.
