  1. 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.

  2. MFA Excluded User List Needed

    MFA Excluded User List Needed - if a user has to switch MFA devices, as of now the Admin would need to globally turn MFA off for everyone, also an admin might need to setup a box account and login as a user (say using lastpass) before the hire date, thus they need to be on an exclusion list until they start, additionally automated processes might need a login that would be excluded from MFA needs direclty within box, thus the requirement for an exclusion list for MFA that is freely adjustable.

    1. We will soon have the ability to download back up codes that can be used in case you don't have access to your MFA device.
    2. Certain Box plans have the ability to exempt specific users from MFA.
    3. We do have this exclusion list for external users.


    Given these, we don't have plans to add an exclusion list for managed user MFA at this point.

  3. Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain

    Need to have the ability to share links with "Invited people" in organization and to external people in named specific domain.

    We have a need to keep folder collaboration available to only a specific group of internal users but we would like to be able to have the ability to share files or folders with external collaborators in specific domains. Almost like another level of the "Invited People" type of link. Can this be considered as an enhancement?

  4. Upgrade from reCAPTCHA v2 to reCAPTCHA v3

    The pictures shown in reCAPTCHA v2 like traffic lights and crosswalks are vague, leading many users to fail to log in.
    As a result they would like Box to use reCAPTCHA v3 instead.

  6. 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…

  8. Bulk permission removal

    We have folders that frequently need permission changes and it is much easier to bulk remove all permission and add only users that need access.

  9. Allow invitee to be notified of auto-expiration collaboration event

    One of the settings in "auto-expiration" (Enterprise setting -> Content & Sharing) currently wrote "notify affected users" when the folder owner is the only person actually receiving the notification.

  12. Ability to have users enter their name and email address when downloading from a shared link without being logged in.

    In the case of a public shared link, there is no way to verify the user who manipulated the file if it was manipulated while the user was not logged in.
    However, we would like to verify by whom the shared file was downloaded.
    Since the file sharing partners are unspecified, we would like to share files via a shared link rather than through collaboration.
    Request the ability to track the operating user by having them enter their name and email address when downloading from a shared link in an un-logged-in state.

    <共有リンクから未ログイン状態でダウンロードする際に名前やメールアドレスを入力できる機能>
    「リンクを知っている全員」に設定した共有リンクの場合、未ログイン状態で操作された場合はファイルを操作したユーザーを確認する手段がありません。
    しかし、共有したファイルが誰によってダウンロードされているか確認したいと考えています。
    ファイルの共有相手は不特定多数のため、コラボレーションではなく共有リンクでファイルを共有したいと考えています。
    共有リンクから未ログイン状態でダウンロードする際には名前やメールアドレスを入力させて、操作ユーザーを追える機能をリクエストします。

  13. Require additional Multi-Factor Authentication for external collaborators using SSO

    We can require 2-FA for external collaborators, but for external collaborators using SSO, Box does not check for whether users pass multi-factor authentication. Please add the ability to require additional multi-factor authentication for external collaborators using SSO.

  15. Security Logs to add changes to Device Trust requirement settings

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. Shared Link vs Shared Folder Collaborator Options

    I would like to grant Previewer collaborator option when creating a shared link on a file.

    1. When using the Shared Link for a file, only available collaborator options are Editor and Viewer.
    2. When using the Shared Link for a folder, available collaborator options: Uploader, Previewer, Viewer, Previewer Uploader, Viewer Uploader, Editor, Co-Owner.

    When granting access at the folder level opens a security hole where later files can be viewed as well, when only one file needs to be shared.

  19. Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.

    Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator…

  20. 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.
