  1. Remove all Collaborators from Folder

    We have a commonly changing set of external collaborators that need to be in a folder. This list may change every week or every month. Some of the folders may have large numbers of collaborators and there is no way to bump them all out if needed other than removing the folder completely.

    This currently seems like a much more narrow use case than the other requests we have gotten so it will not be prioritized in the short term.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases and customer demand.

  2. Folder-Level Activity Reporting: Ability to Report on Activity and Access Stats at the Folder Level

    Add an 'export' option available for folder Owners & Co-Owners to export various items at the folder level (meaning in the webapp - not the Admin Console) for

    --Activity (uploads, download, moves, previews, create shared link, invite collaborators, etc.) in the folder
    --Collaborations
    --Etc.

    This suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release.

  3. Ability to see notifications for Deleted comments in the Notifications tab

    We would like to be able to know which comments have been deleted by users in the Notifications tab. Currently, Notifications appear only when comments are added.

    This request addresses a relatively narrow use case, so we will not be prioritizing it. Most often, users delete comments since they do not want others to view them.

    What use cases would this feature serve?

  4. Apply "sort by name" function to shared links and collaboration invites.

    It is challenging for external clients to locate the proper folder.

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    Thank you for the suggestion! We’re not planning to change the defaults for users without Box accounts.

    The recipient can choose to sort by name instead using the “View Options” button at the top of the files list.

  5. Option to request access to a folder

    Request: If an external or internal user is forwarded a Box folder invite and they are not a current collaborator, they should have a mechanism to request the access and such request should automatically go to folder Owner/Co-owner for approval or decline. This should be done in a way that does not display or communicate the folder owners name.

    Rationale: We have many external users that are part of large teams. Adding all (and maintaining) in the team is not feasible. These external users often forward the folder invites.

  6. Logging in with Google Account on Android

    Once you allow Box to login using your Google Account credentials on your computer, you should be able to login using those same Google Account credentials using 'Company credentials' at the login screen on your Android mobile device. This currently is not the case, but users are able to do this on their iPhones.

    not planned  ·  Brad Monroe responded

    Thanks for the suggestion! Based on the current information provided, we don’t currently have a feature like this planned.

    We’d love to hear additional use case context from interested users, however, in why the need exists to have Viewer Uploaders be able to ‘delete’ without simply raising them to ‘Editor’ level. Any additional information would be very helpful.

  8. Sorting: Fix the Incorrect Numerical Sort Order

    The webapp currently handles number sorting in an odd (non-standard) way.

    For example:
    --For three file names beginning with: 1, 2, and 12
    --The webapp would sort these as: 1, 12, 2
    Which clearly isn't in the correct numerical order.

    Windows (and Finder) sort these correctly as: 1, 2, 12.

    I understand this request. However, it is not prioritized for development. We will let you know if anything changes.

  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. Add New Permission Level

    Users are requesting for a permission level where collaborators can view and download, but cannot "get link."

    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.

  14. Downloading Empty Folders

    We noticed and it's confirmed with Box Support that the Box service treats "empty folders" inconsistently depending on which Box mechanism is used.

    Empty folders are not created if we download folders via the Web interface. Empty folders are created via Box Sync. We are finding that this inconsistent behavior is creating confusion for our users and a mistrust in the Box service. Can you rectify the inconsistent behaviour?

    Thank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

  16. Add Support on Adobe Links Files

    Creative teams leverage this the most when they are cross-linking between Adobe files into a master file to consolidate auto-updating and auto-pulling of all the assets coming from all the different files.

    We will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

  18. Personal folders created by a service account appear yellow instead of blue

    When content creation is restricted and personal folders are created on a users behalf, it would make more sense for the end user to see those folders as yellow instead of blue to indicate that they aren't shared
