  1. Have a different section/page for Shared links setting on account settings page

    Right now, shared links setting is on "Sharing" tab. This has create a confusion for customer in the following scenario:

    Customer recently switched from company only to open link on admin console settings. They expected that this will change the settings of all managed users, but some users still defaulted to company only link. This was because those users updated email settings before (which happens to be in the same "Sharing" tab) while the "company only" was selected in the Shared Links setting and saved as their individual setting.

  3. Adding Deleted to the "Updates" feature

    We want to know when people in our company are deleting files and folders, and potentially have the ability to preview those deleted files.

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    This is not currently planned. One workaround is setting up notifications to let the user know when files are being deleted.

  4. Access restriction by domain

    We would like to implement access restrictions not only by IP address but also at the domain level.
    This is because there are some integrated services that do not disclose their IP addresses.

  5. Download box appears which is deceiving making people think they have to login

    We mostly share documents with external clients. When they access the document and press download, a box shows up (attached) that says the document is dowloading but also says "in the meantime login to your box account...." This is very deceiving and confusing to clients as they think they have to login and don't understand they can just close the box. There has to be a way to eliminate that, change the verbiage or customize this. We work with elderly clients and this continues to be a challenge.

  6. When adding group members via the API, duplicate requests are added when the same request is made at almost the same time.

    The Box representative told us that this is a rare event that occurs only when there are overlapping requests at the same time, and that there are no plans to correct the current behavior.
    If multiple requests arrive within a short period of time but do not overlap in time, a 409 (Conflict) error is usually returned for all but the first request.
    Therefore, it is considered to be an event that occurs only when a request is made with very short timing.

    For example, this is expected to occur when the same command is used to add a group…

  7. Decode expired Box Links

    We have had users create Box Links to various files and folders and by default these links expire. If the employee who created the link leaves the company there is no easy way to decode the location path that the link is associated with. Box creates the links it should be able to decode and discern the location the link is referencing.

  8. Share the main folder but restrict some specific sub-folders

    Box should allow to share a Folder and also restrict the access to some of its sub-folders. In addition, we sould be able to let the restricted sub-folder displayed or not to the user subject of the restriction.

  9. link name same as file name

    When I share a link to a document, I always edit the link to match the file name. It is easier to know what was share, especially after the link expires.

  10. waterfall

    I would like to add or enhance to the waterfall folder permission settings
    As it stands today due to waterfall permission, anyone who has access on the parent folder will have access to all the subfolder inside it and currently.
    I would like to please request that there be an option that we be able to create sub folders or parallel folders where we can edit the viewers to just our office internally. Reason being is sometimes when we are in the middle of projects our internal office needs to colloborate or do other things that we don't necessarily want…

  11. Out of Office Setting for a user profile

    People go on holiday, and people have specific notification settings set for themselves.
    So it would be a nice feature if a user could have a setting in their profile that redirected their notifications to another BOX user or group for a period that they set in their profile. Also remind them when they login that they have the setting turned on as to not redirect for longer than required.

  12. Ordering Files and Folders in numerical order, rather than Folders first and then Files

    Have the option to have an entire Folder listed by Name (ie, in numerical order) no matter the Folder/File. For example, not listing Folders first and then Files.

  13. Fix the error that appears when you try to create an account password after a shared folder requires a 'stronger' one. It is a loophole

    When a shared folder requires a stronger password, consider a scenario where a user doesn't have any password set up. There is no 'old' password to put in. Attempts to create a password for the account end in 'There was a problem changing your password' message. So basically there is no way to access the protected shared files.

  14. Adding a Modified field in box online UI.

    The "Updated" menu really needs to be configured or have a filter to now show Uploaded as an update. This is very important when moving data to box. I've just finished a box shuttle of about 60TB and 15 years of data. Everything is showing as Updated in the last couple of weeks. This makes it near on impossible to find data easily from years ago at a glance. If this filed can't have a filter then we really need another field called "Modified" So it reads as "Name" "Updated" "Modified" "Size" I shouldn't need to get the properties of…

  16. I would like to restrict certain people/groups from accessing version history.

    I would like the ability to limit who can access version history. When interacting with external collaborators, it would be nice to limit them from seeing version history, and only allow them to see the most recent version.

  17. Set Custom Time for File Request or Shared Link expiration

    Have the ability to set an expiration time in the Web App on the Box File Request. The use case is a submission use case where the need is to have uploads shut off at 3pm vs the default of 11:59pm. The ability to set a different time can only be done at the API/CLI level for the Shared Link only and not the File Request. In addition, you can not set a time within the WebApp for either. This functionality could be extended to other use cases with collaborator access shut off at a specific time of day.

  18. Please add the ability for multiple users to modify a single workflow.

    In some cases, such as long vacations, it is very inconvenient if only the workflow creator can perform maintenance.
    This function allows multiple people to edit the workflow, which leads to operational convenience and other benefits.

    (Japanese)
    「1つのワークフローを複数のユーザーで修正できる機能を追加してほしい。」

    長期休暇など、ワークフロー作成者しかメンテナンスを行えないと非常に不便なケースがあります。
    この機能の実装により、複数名で編集することが可能になるため、運用上の利便性等につながります。

  19. Box Pulse ideas - allow screenshots to be added BEFORE approval

    When someone takes the time to provide a Box Pulse idea, it is invariably done at the time that an issue occurs. However, by not allowing screenshots to be added (until after approval), the opportunity to receive valuable screenshots justifying the change/enhancement is often lost, as it may be difficult/impossibly to return to the same situation/location to take new screenshots later. Allow screenshots to be added before approvals

  20. Restrictions on the use of direct links/直接リンクの利用制限

    When issuing a shared link, the direct link is displayed on the screen transition of "Link setting" from the shared link issue screen, so there are cases where the direct link is used by mistake.
    There are many cases where users with free accounts cannot use it because they share files using direct links.
    Therefore, please make improvements so that the use of direct links can be restricted on a tenant-by-tenant or folder-by-folder basis.

    (In Japanese)
    共有リンクを発行する際、共有リンク発行画面から「リンク設定」の画面遷移に直接リンクが表示されているため、間違えて直接リンクを利用するケースがあります。
    直接リンクを用いてファイル共有を行ってしまい、無償アカウントのユーザーが利用できない事が多発しています。
    そのため、テナント単位やフォルダ単位で直接リンクの使用を制限できるよう改善をお願いします。
