  1. Ability to print PDF documents without downloading

    In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).

    As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.

    The current user path for printing a PDF is:
    1. Open a PDF in box webapp
    2. download it to…

  2. Ability to restore/delete files only by Box tenant administrators

    【Background】
    Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the company's policy will be changed.
    The policy will be to erase unnecessary data after a specific period of time.
    This policy change will also cover data residing in personal Bin.

    Currently, as a specification of Box, if an item in the Bin is maliciously "deleted from the Bin" or if data is automatically deleted from the Bin after a certain period of time, it will be unrecoverable after 14 days.
    We would like to set up a specification like "Archive function of the Bin" so that we can…

  3. Comment Replies and Thumbs Up/Down

    It would be great to give a comment a thumbs up or down and be able to reply directly to someone's comment (ideally showing it indented under the person's comment, not at the bottom of the Activity/comment sidebar). This would help collaboration!

  4. Passwords on File Request links

    I would like to be able to add a password on public file request links to protect these file request pages (like how I add passwords on public shared links)

  5. Mentions

    Specify multiple people at once when commenting on a comment.

    You can use @mentions to notify users of files in Box, but I think it is extremely inefficient to have to enter the user name from @ every time.

    However, we think it is extremely inefficient to have to type the username from @ every time.
    For example, it would be very convenient to be able to specify @mentions with a single click or by copying and pasting.

    (和訳)
    Box上のファイルに対し、@メンションでユーザーに通知することが出来ますが、毎回@からユーザー名を一から入力する必要がするのは極端に作業効率が悪いと捉えています。

    例えばメールの返信の様な形でワンクリックで指定出来たり、
    コピー&ペーストで指定できるなど、簡単に@メンションが付けられると非常に便利だと思います。

  6. Bring back pagination

    Please bring back pagination! I work with thousands of files and continuous scrolling makes it much harder to search for the last file I was working on. Pagination allows me to view a certain number of files on a page which helps so much when working with thousands of files of data.

  7. File Request Email Validation

    Provide the ability to have the email address provided in a File Request form to be validated either generically to make sure the email is a real address or to require them to authenticate themselves. This is critical for organizations that have strict security and compliance requirements and can't accept the risk of someone getting a hold of the File Request link and uploading malicious content or inundate their folders with nonsense files.

    I suggest customers look into Shield, a newer Box offering that provides malware detection. If turned on, it scans all content uploaded to Box including the ones from file requests (as well as any file when it's active - e.g., on preview, share, edit, copy, etc. events)

  8. Open Shared Link Admin

    On the "My Account" in the Web App, I would like to see a list of all open shared links created and owned by my account in Box. I'd like to be able to delete the shared link or change its settings, from Everyone with the Link to Company & Collaborator for example. This feature will enable users to have greater insight into what they have shared and what risk this may represent to their organisations.

  9. Ability to select a Box folder by dragging and dropping in Box for Slack

    With the current design of Box for Slack, user cannot select a Box file without clicking on the upload button. User wants to select a Box folder by dragging and dropping.

  10. Default sort order to updated descending

    1. Trash default sort is Name Ascending – Can we get this changed to Updated descending
    2. In any view, when clicking the Updated column, can we get the first click to be Descending instead of Ascending.

  11. Ability to set default permission on folder level

    The customer would like to implement the feature “Default Collaborator Permissions” per folder.
    We’re providing it only per tenant at the moment, so it affects to all folders/files in tenant if changed.
    As a result, it probably not convenient such as the user changes collaborator permission from Viewer to Editor every time.
    So, the customer wants an ability to set default permission per folder.

  12. File Request Link versioning

    The new File Request feature is pretty awesome. Only thing is, when you upload a file with the same name, instead of creating it as a version in that folder, it uploads a new copy of that document with a long string of numbers at the end of it. Any word on if this will change in the future to support versioning?

  13. Hide folders from Collaborators

    Hello, would love to be able to hide folders (I am currently the owner) from collaborators that way as the owner I can monitor what is seen by collaborators as a whole without them seeing things change on their end.

  14. Notify users of product updates in-app

    Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
    This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.

  17. Shared Link Default Setting

    I propose that the default Shared Link setting be the strictest available setting "People in this Folder" rather than "People with the Link". In my opinion, the default setting should be the more confidential / private one and force the user to opt to share the link with outside parties. In my experience, many users have not understood to update that setting.

  19. Add "Copy' and 'open' functionality to the Viewer permission

    A Viewer cannot copy a file within Box, but be aware that Viewers have the ability to download the file and upload it somewhere else.

    If users are still able to download and then re-upload content, what are the potential downfalls of providing them with the copy functionality as part of the Viewer permission?

    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.
