  1. Ability to PAUSE during an audio recording in BOX CAPTURE

    During an audio recording, be able to PAUSE, then continue with same recording - so all audio is contained in same audio file (for transcription) Example; audio interviews; record intro with identifying information, including confidential ID, pause recording, then invite interviewee into interview, then re-start recording. When we send these files for transcription the confidential identifying information is included at the beginning of each file - but the interviewee is not aware of the confidential ID.

  4. Ability to manually update Box Tools

    If Box Tools fails to update automatically, you may need to install or reinstall the latest version of the installer (after uninstalling Box Tools).

    Depending on the company, installation may require administrator privileges on the PC, and updating may not be easy.

    Therefore, it is very convenient to develop a button that can be updated without installation as a standard function of Box Tools.

  5. Output the hostname of the upload destination to the Box Edit log

    Box Edit selects the upload destination host from the preflight response, and the upload destination is vary.
    If the customer has a strict set of FW rules, only certain files may fail to upload, in which case you will need to get a network capture to verify the destination host.
    Obtaining network captures is a difficult operation for endusers to perform, and it is taking a long time to resolve the issue.
    Please consider outputting the selected hostname to the log.

  6. Ability to set default application for Box Edit opening .md file

    Sometimes Box Edit opening files in the program not set as default on MacOS

    If a user installs Xcode on Mac OS, the user cannot open .md files with default application which set on Mac OS. The user would like to open .md file with Atom.app but it opened with Xcode.
    User can do nothing to change the application. it is the OS that it's selecting XCode when it's installed.

  8. Error Messaging - Update 'File Type Not Supported' Error Message to Be More Specific When the Error is Not Related to File Types

    This is a request to update error messages for Box Edit to be more specific.

    Currently, the red bar that says 'Box Edit does not support this file type' appears for a variety of reasons not limited to just errors due to file type incompatibility. Users could see that error message when trying to use Box Edit with a PowerPoint, Word, or any other supported file type.

    This error also occurs when the Web App is having issues connecting to Box Edit on the actual computer and in other scenarios that are entirely unrelated to file types.

    For this reason,…

  9. Ability to select BoxEdit even when Box for Microsoft Office co-editing is enabled.

    When Box for Microsoft Office co-editing is enabled, microsoft office files cannot be edited in Box Edit.
    However, there are use cases where we may not want to co-edit.
    Even if the Box for Microsoft Office co-editing feature is enabled, we want to choose whether or not we want to edit in Box Edit.

  10. Transition from Sandbox to Production

    When transitioning from the Sandbox to the Production environment, a tool to automate the transfer of all configuration settings (and relay settings) from the Sandbox to Production would be very helpful. It would also help to prevent errors that can occur with a manual transition.

    Please put the tag button back on the page! I hate having to search through the drop down with the new updates. Weirdly, it appears when you highlight more than one document - but we need it back when only tagging one document!

  12. Box Tools: Change Cache location

    Ability to customise the location of Box Tools folder

    We would like to have the feature to customise the location of Box Tools folders such as logs and cache folder. We want to have those under drive of other volume letter instead of the default location under C drive. This is because the storage size of C drive can be limited.

  13. Ability to find a file or folder using just the ID.

    Is Box working on an easier tool to lookup files and folders based off of ID?

    I'd like to suggest a box tool where we can find the file and folder using just the ID. Having to run a 40+ min report on all of our files and folders anytime a user asks is very time consuming. I get 5+ requests a day.

  14. customized page

    Customizable Box Tools Web Page - When a user is logging into Box, the Box Tools page displays, allowing Box Tools to check / verify security of the user's machine prior to entering the Box environment. However, this web page is not modifiable and because of that, can cause end user confusion. For example, the page displays text to download Box Tools, but if the user already has the package installed, that is not necessary information. This page should be customizable to allow for organizations to add their support contact information and instructions on what to do.

  17. Ability to tag groups

    I want a function like Teams' "tag".
    Currently, only individuals can mention comments in the data saved in the box,
    I would like to be able to mention in groups.
    Can't you make better use of groups in your management console?
    One of the features of box is that multiple people can edit the same data at the same time, and there are also convenient functions such as comment fields and mention functions.
    Please consider further improving usability.

    Teamsの「タグ」のような機能が欲しい。
    現状、box内に保存したデータ内のコメントにメンションできるのは個人だけだが、
    グループでメンションをできるようにしてほしい。
    管理コンソールのグループを上手く活用できないでしょうか?
    boxには一つのデータを複数人同時編集が可能という特徴があり、コメント欄とメンション機能という便利な機能もあります。
    さらに使い勝手を良くするために検討をお願いします。

  18. Request for improving a behavior of Box tools in checking if network is recovered

    Currently, Box Tools keep attempt to ping to box during offline to check if its network is recovered. Sometimes, this wouldn't be good and may affect to the network environment.

  19. Filter during multiple edits

    When multiple users are editing the same document online, if one person applies a filter condition, it is applied for all users. Can we have options to apply filter only for self or for all users as per individual's choice? I have seen this feature while editing excels in Sharepoint. It would really help when we have lengthy spreadsheets to edit.

  20. Combine WORD and PDF documents

    Please create a function to be able to combine WORD and/or PDF documents within BOX so we do not need to down load all of the documents, combine and then add back to BOX.
