  1. Folder Lock from Web UI

    Currently, Folder Lock can be configured only through API. We would like to be able to configure it on Web UI, e.g. Folder Settings.
    Folder Lock function is very useful, but not used widely. Probably it's because API is not very friendly for some users.

    Because of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

  2. New Shared Link Setting for OTP to Specific Email Addresses

    Proposing a new Shared Link setting or type that allows users to send a shared link to a specific email address which requires a OTP password, similar to the authentication used when an individual is sent a Sign Request via Box Sign.

    This would allow for a simpler, more secure user experience when sharing one-off links than password-protecting a public link.

  3. Lock files when editing them from a shared link that all users can edit.すべてのユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクからファイル編集を行う際にファイルをロックをする。

    When editing from a shared link that can be edited by a user who does not have editing or access permissions, the file is not locked when starting the edit.
    Therefore, when saving files on Box, duplicate files with the same name are created.
    To avoid this behavior, I would like to be able to lock files even if users do not have editing privileges.

    (日本語)
    編集権限およびアクセス権限を持たないユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクから編集する際に編集開始時にファイルにロックがかけられません。
    したがって、Box上にファイルを保存する際に重複して同一の名前のファイルが作成される動作となります。
    この動作を避けるため、編集権限を持たないユーザーでもファイルロックをかけられるようにして欲しいです。

  4. The ability to control deletion and restoration from the Recycle Bin.

    I would like to see the ability to control the deletion and restoration of items from the Recycle Bin by user/group in the Enterprise Settings for Content and Sharing.
    Currently, when a free user is added to a tenant, the user added can delete and restore items that they own.
    If this feature is added, we would be able to control the deletion and restoration of items by the user in question on a per-user basis.

    Enterprise設定のコンテンツと共有に、ユーザー/グループ指定でごみ箱からの削除、復元が制御できる機能を追加してほしいです。
    現在、フリーユーザーをテナントに追加した時に該当ユーザーは自身が所有しているアイテムを削除、復元できてしまいます。
    この機能が追加された場合、該当ユーザーによるアイテムの削除、復元をユーザー単位でコントロール出来ます。

  5. Please separate the colors of the icons displayed in folders and files.

    Due to the release of Box Shield's new classification indicators, the colors of the "lock icon" and "shared link icon" displayed on folders and files are all grayed out.
    In the past, the "lock icon" was red, and the "shared link icon" was blue, etc., making it easy for users to see and use.

    We believe this is a far cry from Box's goal of accessibility, which is "ease of use for all users."
    In order to provide an easy-to-use environment for all users, please restore the icon colors to the previous specifications or color code them.

    フォルダ・ファイルに表示されているアイコンの色を分けてください。

  6. file request with BVE

    Currently we are using BVE and have a firewall setting to block the normal app.box.com.
    When our group/subsidiary companies try to upload a file through file request, since the link URL is https://upload.app.box.com, they cannot upload a file via file request.
    It would be great if we can make a file request link that is BVE so the URL is https://upload.ent.box.com.

  7. Ability to be unlocked only with the permission of the person who set the lock

    With the current file locking feature, even if a file is locked, it can be unlocked by another user.
    In this case, the file that was originally supposed to be updated cannot be updated and is saved as another file.
    The result is a lot of conflict files and a lot of work to merge all the information.

    [The features we want]
    When editing a file, the file is completely locked.
    If other users want to edit this file, they will ask the user who locked it to unlock it.
    It will only be unlocked if the user who put…

  8. Invitation of collaborators by list

    Currently, Box has a small screen for inviting collaborators, and invitations must be made on a per-privilege basis. So there are some mistakes of invitations by users.
    This could be a compliance issue with business partners. So we need new interface that allow users to check the invitation list and register in a batch input.

  9. Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling

    When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.

    I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

  10. Revert to former UX for selecting files/folders (no more check boxes)

    In order to select multiple files or folders in the Box Web App you now have to use the checkboxes which are only visible when you hover over the file/folder all the way to the right.

    Previously, you could select multiple files and folders by clicking on the file or folder icon on the far left, and didn’t have to bother with checkboxes. The suggestion is to revert to the former UX for selecting files/folders

  11. Maintain folder structure when exporting legal hold content

    Maintain folder structure when exporting legal hold content

    The legal hold export is very difficult to use because only files are downloaded and the folder structure is lost.
    Therefore, we would like to be able to download the files while maintaining the folder structure.

    リーガルホールドのエクスポートはファイルしかダウンロードされずフォルダ構成が分からなくなり非常に使い辛いです。
    そのため、フォルダ構成を維持したままダウンロードできるようにしてほしい。

  12. I want to bookmark a "file://" location

    Box can create bookmarks to web-based content. Some users still have local, server-based files, box should allow creation of bookmarks to travel to these places.

    As an example, I can paste "file://server/folder/folder/folder" into a browser address bar and get to a server folder structure.

    Since I can do that, I can also bookmark it in the browser... If I can bookmark it with the browser, Box should also be able to use that address to create a bookmark in a folder.

    thanks!

  14. Version history - ability to see what has changed since the last version

    Ability to see what has changed since the previous version on Box web - highlighting key differences or changes to the document. Also the ability to compare 2 specific versions side by side as you can in SharePoint to see what has changed.

  15. Selective Bulk Trash Restoration

    Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.

    The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.

    Example:
    Files below a specific…

  16. Show timestamp in "update" column in Box Web/Box for Teams

    Dear Box team, it would be very helpful shwoing the timestamp of the last change of a file/folder is shown in Box Web and Box Teams Plugin instead of showing the date only (or a text).
    Content shown today:
    Changed yesterday by <Username>

    Desired content:
    <tt.mmm.yy> <hh:mm> <username>

  17. Save Sorting Preferences

    When using Box in-browser, create a setting to change the default sorting preference. For example, so you can make the default sorting for all folders Name, Ascending. This is not currently an option and means every time you open a folder you need to manually resort it, as the default sorting is always set to Updated, Ascending.

    Thank you for the feedback. Do you have a file and folder naming convention you follow that will make the sort by name to be more useful than sort by updated date?

  18. Shortcut to open file directly without preview

    We would like to have the option to open a file directly without opening the preview first (or right click --> open with).
    Maybe this can be done via a shortcut or a default setting in the user preferences?
    Thanks!

  19. Change "Recents" list functionality

    If a folder is shared with a user, the user sees all files in that folders in his recent list - no matter if the user has accessed the file himself, or the file was accessed by another user where the folder was shared with as well.
    This doesn't make sense from my point of view. Especially in larger teams every day multiple files are generated and which the user never touches.

    Can you please change the functionality of the recent list in a way, that only files appear is the list which have been accessed by the user itself…

  20. Collaboration Email Wording

    The current wording of the collaboration email sent to users can cause confusion due to the name of the sender appearing in the "From" address. Recipients are not noticing the sender’s actual email address and assuming when they reply to the invitation, sent to them by [insert friendly name, e.g., Bob Smith], that their reply was received by Bob Smith.

    The originating invitation sender’s name is included in the Subject line and body of the invitation, can the “friendly name” be removed from the From line? Can additional text be added to the From address that includes an all caps…
