  1. Enable Web App to display the SHA-1 checksum for an object

    We work with multiple large files and would like to be able to view the SHA-1 checksum that is stored in Box from the Web App in order to validate file transfer integrity as necessary.

    This is a very acute use case that isn’t in line with what we’re currently investing in for Web App. We will re-evaluate with additional customer demand.

  2. Allow users to adjust line spacing between items shown in list view

    In the new Box UI, some users are asking for the ability to adjust the spacing between items shown in list view (some users want to widen this while others want to cram things closer together)

    We do plan to offer an Accessibility Mode where users can set font to be larger and contrast to be higher, but we don’t plan to allow complete customization of spacing

  3. Upload via Email: Add Option to Not Send the Confirmation Email to the Uploader

    Currently, when someone sends an email (with an attachment) to an 'upload via email' email address, Box automatically sends that user an 'upload complete' confirmation email.

    There are various scenarios where an admin does not want end users to receive this confirmation email -- whether the user should not know that Box is the tool being used or for other reasons.

    REQUEST: Add a 'send confirmation email to uploaders' option that can be unchecked (but is enabled by default) within the Upload via Email setting on the Folder Settings page.

  4. Add Templates to the 'New' Button

    We often work with very templatized documents on Box.

    REQUEST: Add the ability for admins or users to define or 'save' templates to their 'New' menu in Box.

  5. Login flow: Confirmation window unnecessary

    IBM believes that there are too many dialogs in the integration login flow. They've specifically identified that the "You were logged in successfully - Close" window after the "Part of IBM? --> Continue" window seems unnecessary.

    This is a limitation of login needing to happen in a separate window for the embed widget

    Thank you for this suggestion. It is a niche request and I am not sure which problem it solves. We will reconsider with additional use case and demand info.

  9. HD Video Preview: Allow User to Download the Lower Quality (720P, 480P, etc.) Renditions of Video Files

    With HD Preview, users can choose the quality of the video in the Preview (based on network/bandwidth speed, etc.), but users cannot download those downsampled/lower quality 'renditions'.

    REQUEST: Allow users to download the lower quality renditions of video files on Box. For example, I upload a 1080P file, and I can choose to Preview the video in reduced 720P or 480P quality, and I can also choose to download those same renditions if I'd like. Think of it like adding a 'which quality/size output would you like?' option added after clicking 'download' for a video file.

    Thank you for the suggestion!

    Providing a way to create a copy of an HD video, but at a lower quality so that it is easily downloadable is a low priority for the team.

    It’s a niche use case at the moment and there’s a workaround (use a tool to downscale the video and upload that in addition to the HD video into Box).

  10. Ability for Partial Searches

    If the filename is Security Committee, searching ?Commit will find the file but searching omit will not.

    Maybe the keywordless search option that is coming up will solve this? Not sure. Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion! We will not be adding this functionality in the foreseeable future.

  11. Account Deactivated Message

    We would like custom deactivated messages to redirect users to our helpdesk.

    Current:
    "Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. Please contact your administrator at EMAIL"

    Proposed:
    "Your account has been deactivated. Your administrator has deactivated this account. If you think this was a mistake, please contact the Company Helpdesk."

    We are not prioritizing custom messages for in app pop-ups at the moment. This is an edge use case, resource-intensive, and has a low ROI for the majority of our users. We will let you know if anything changes.

  12. Change wording of a shared file to a more specific title other than "Shared"

    When a Shared Link is created, the file bar in the Web App shows the term "Shared".

    It would be beneficial if this showed the specific nature of the shared link, for example instead of "Shared" the "Share" button would change to "In Your Company", "In This Folder", "Everyone".

    This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  13. Shared link expiration based on number of downloads

    User would like shared links to expire after a certain amount of downloads.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  16. Create new folder from Move/Copy Dialogue box

    We regularly need to move and copy content to different locations in Box. It would be very helpful to have a "New Folder" option within the move/copy dialogue Box. This would help mirror desktop functionality (and sync, which currently supports this feature).

    This is a very narrow use case, so it’s not a priority for our roadmap right now.

  17. Customize shared link expiration for collaborators

    When folder owners choose to extend collaborator expirations clicking on the Clock icon, it will only extend the preset period.

    Thank you for the request! If there is more demand for this feature, we can consider it.

  18. Pre-Render Previews After File Upload

    Currently, Box will only go through the 'generating preview' process when the first user goes to Preview a file.

    Request: pre-render files once uploaded such that users (even the first to preview a file) don't have to see the 'generating preview...' progress bar anymore.

    Pre-conversion (converting the file when it’s uploaded) will only benefit a small amount of users. We will revisit this if user behavior changes.

    We had a similar “Like” feature for files and it was confusing and not helpful for our users.

    We would need to understand why a user would need this and how it would benefit the work they are trying to get done.

  20. Request to add an Address book feature when adding or @mentioning users.

    Currently, there are only 5 suggestions displayed when adding, @mentioning users.

    There are more than 5 users with the same name and it is hard to filter out the exact user.

    We would like an address book feature so we can filter out the users to invite. Address book should include user name, Organization name, groups, etc.

    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.
