  1. Always Show Show/Hide Option for Hiding Left Sidebar

    The left sidebar in the new Web App auto-hides at smaller window size (due to responsive design), but some users would like the show/hide option for the left sidebar to always be shown (like the button already is for the right sidebar) to allow for increased space for the file list columns (Name, Modified, Size).

    REQUEST: Always display the show/hide button for the left sidebar, regardless of the window size.

    We’re aware that the lack of space to show file and folder names is an issue. We’re working on addressing this in different ways.

  2. Increase capacity of the recycle bin to be unlimited.

    I want the capacity of the recycle bin to be unlimited.

    If the number of items in the recycle bin exceeds a certain value,
    the page will not be displayed properly as a "scale limit".

    I've heard that adding "?usemarker=true" to the end of the URL of the recycle bin page makes it accessible.
    However, there are some restrictions on the operation, and I would like to see the limit raised or made unlimited.

    ごみ箱の容量を無制限にしてほしい

    ごみ箱内のアイテム数が一定値を超えると「規模の限界」としてページが正常に表示されない仕様かと思います。
    ごみ箱ページのURLの最後に「?usemarker=true」を追加することでアクセスが可能になるということですが、
    操作に制限があることもあり、この限界ラインを上げる/無制限にするといった改修を希望します。

  3. Send in-app notification for failed bulk move/copy.

    Box Notification on account (not email notification) for failed moves.

    When copying or moving a large numbers of files, sometimes those moves fail.

    We would like to be notified about files that failed to copy or move

  4. One-Click shared link generation as Enterprise setting

    The recent change to Box sharing means that you now have up to 3 clicks to get a shared link on your clipboard - click Share, then toggle the link on, then copy to clipboard. This annoys our users, who liked the old way, where clicking Share would automatically generate the link.

    I think this change was motivated by feedback like this, where enterprises that choose to default to People With the Link permission sometimes end up with a lot of accidental open links:
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114154-add-second-step-when-creating-shared-link-for-a-fo

    (We, on the other hand, default to just "people in this file" permission.)

    My proposal:…

  5. Sort underscores consistently

    We would like for Box to sort files and folders the same as our computers. Right now, files and folders with an underscore at the beginning of the name are sorted at the end, but our computers sort them at the beginning.

    We’ll keep this in mind! However, this is not currently planned. Let us know additional use cases which this would resolve.

    This is a great idea! Unfortunately we aren’t able to prioritize this ask at this time due to other competing priorities.

  9. Add print functionality under "more options" tab on file level list instead of having to go to preview or open the file

    Currently it is only possible to print a document from the preview window or by opening the document.

    Request: consistency of experience and adding an option on the file list level (under More Options)

  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

  12. File Request+Metadata issue : Unexpected changing number via mouse operation

    When requesting a number field of metadata with a file request link, the number may changes unintentionally due to the user's scrolling the mouse.
    Can you improve the input field of the file request so that it is not affected by mouse scrolling?

  14. Flexibility to adjust column settings on the left panel

    Flexibility to adjust column settings on the left panel - where favorites are listed. It is very small and you can not see the entire field name.

    This field is stationary and will not adjust.

  15. Tag within Document Viewer

    Currently, you can only Tag a document when viewing list of files and folders. It would be nice if could Tag document within Box's Document Viewer, likely in the 'Activity' pane where see Add Task and Comments.

    Example, when click on pdf document hyperlink to which brings up pdf document's contents within browser, to be able to Tag directly here.

  16. Notify me when a file is unlocked by another collaborator

    When a file is locked for editing by another user, on a case-by-case basis, I would like to be notified via email when that file is unlocked.

    Either:

    1. a file-setting that always notifies me after a user unlocks a specific file or
    2. a one-off subscription to a file when it is locked that I can set that notifies me via email when that file is unlocked. After this one-off notice occurs, the subscription would be deleted.

  17. Ability to disable the feature to send shared link by email.

    When the customer send email to external user, it is necessary to put superiors in CC according to their company rules.
    This feature does not match the company rules because it can not put anyone in CC, so they want to disable it to prevent users send email without approve.

  18. Please relax the recommended number of collaboration users per item

    We would like the recommended number of collaboration users per item to be relaxed.
    With the current recommended value of 15,000, we are having trouble with being able to invite all employees.

    1アイテムごとのコラボレーションユーザーの推奨値を緩和してほしい。
    現在の推奨値である15,000だと、全社員を招待するといった運用ができず困っています。

  19. Export the accessing users area and their IP addresses to the access statistics reports

    It will be more convenient if the accessing users area and their IP addresses is exported in the access stats report.

    We can see the areas where the accessing users are and their IP addresses in "the access stats dialog box".
    However, when we export access statistics, we can't export the above information.

    As we know, the activity reports can help us as a way to see the user's operation history and IP address,
    But I think those information should be exported to the access statistics reports, not just displayed in the dialog box.

  20. Add "ent" to the URL of the shared link

    Please add "ent" to the URL of the shared link.

    Currently, "ent" is not appended to the URLs of shared links issued by tenants who have enabled the Box Verified Enterprise feature.

    In certain countries and regions, access to "box.com" may not be possible.
    One effective way to get around this is to access Box from a URL with "ent.box.com".

    When a shared link is issued by a BVE tenant, if the URL has "ent" attached to it, there will be fewer actions by the customer beyond that point, making the interaction smoother.

    (日本語)
    共有リンクのURLに「ent」を付加してください。

    現在、Boxベリファイド Enterprise機能を有効にしたテナントにおいて、発行した共有リンクのURLに「ent」が付加されません。

    特定の国や地域では「box.com」へのアクセスができない場合があります。
    これを回避するための有効な手段として「ent.box.com」がついたURLからBoxにアクセスするというのがあります。

    BVEのテナントで共有リンクを発行した際にURLに「ent」が付いた場合、その先のお客様によるアクションが減るため、やり取りがスムーズになります。
