  1. Better error message for device limits

    If there is a device limit set, the error message when you try logging in from another device should read something similar to: You have reached the max number of devices

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Require 12 characters for External Collaborator Passwords

    Currently, if 'Require Strong Passwords for External Collaborators' is selected, the external collaborator will be required to use at least 8 characters (along with additional criteria). The ask is to require 12 characters, rather than 8, for increased security.

  11. MFA self reset up

    Currently, when a user get locked out from their own account when the MFA is turned on, they need to contact Box support team to get it usable again.
    It would be great if users can self reset from the login screen without submitting a support ticket.

  12. 2FA - Option to select SMS or Email as opposed to both

    Hi all,

    We would like to have the option to select SMS as a 2FA method without having to have email as an option.

    Back in April last year Box introduced the option to have email as a 2FA Method. Unfortunately we can’t have Authenticator app and SMS but no email as a setting. Either it’s Authenticator app only or we have to enable emails too.

    On productions we go for the Authenticator app as that’s the most secure option, but one of our subsidiaries would like to give the option for SMS too.

    Enabling emails is a major security…

  13. Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents

    Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents.

    This is important for Search and Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)/Ethical Walls.

    E.g. a Driver's License, Passport, etc. image gets uploaded, then Box DLP doesn't recognize this today.

  14. "Automatically remove invited collaborators" - override/shorten

    I have enabled "Automatically remove invited collaborators" specifically for External Collaborators, under Enterprise settings > Content & Sharing.

    There are use cases (per folder) where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to /override/ & shorten the expiration for an External Collaborator. This could be due to a contract or any other reason.

    The only method to do this now, is to delete the entire folder and all content.

    Example Use Case:

    Enterprise settings:
    - Content & Sharing > Invited collaborators expiration settings
    -- Automatically remove invited collaborators
    -- Remove after [ 90 ] days
    -- Apply these settings to…

  15. Folders to which only managed users can be invited

    【Request】
    Regarding the "Restrict collaboration to within {OrganizationName}" setting in the folder settings,
    I would like the definition of users recognized as users in the organization to be selectable from the following two options
    ・Users who have same domains OR Managed Users (Same as current specifications)
    ・Only Managed Users

    【Current specifications & Issues】
    Currently, for folders with this setting turned on, users can invite others who meet either of the following conditions
    - Managed users of the tenant
    - Users with a Box account with an email address in the registered domain

    As it stands, this specification allows free accounts…

  17. Please make the login form as one step

    Now the login form have two steps - at first step I need to fill login, then press "Next" button (for what?), fill my password, press "Log in".

    This type of login form brings problems with auto-filling credentials by most of browser plugins.

    Please remove the surplus useless step with pressing "Next" in login form, to allow fill login and password in one page, using "Tab" button (or auto-fill plugin), like in most of other websites.

  18. Extension of the "Auto-Delete" Period

    The BOX "auto delete" function for folders must accept a period of 100 years. It is currently limited to 85 years and I need to keep some HR files for a period of 100 years by definition of control and security. I request the extension of the term from 85 years to 100 years.

  19. Separate Device Trust settings for webapp on mobile browser vs desktop browser

    We want to have a separate Device Trust setting for webapp on mobile browser and desktop browser. We would like to enable Device Trust for mobile browser only (that is, block webapp on mobile browser) while not requiring Device Trust check for login from desktop PCs. Currently, there is only a single setting for webapp and 3rd party apps. We would like this to be more granular and have a separate config for mobile browser and desktop browser.

  20. Show the password when typing to avoid typo's

    Add an option for the user to see the password they are typing to avoid typos when sending to the client. At the moment, there is no option to see what you have typed until the client is telling you that the password doesnt work. Especially with caps, symbols etc.
