  1. Ability to customize collaborator privilege

    Want to automate the task of "when the viewer / uploader notices the need to update a particular locked file, ask the editor to confirm and approve the file update"?
    To do this, from the perspective of user permissions, you need collaborator permissions that remove one permission from the viewer / uploader and grant one permission.

    -Collaborator authority that grants manual workflow startup authority to viewer / uploader authority and cannot unlock files.

    By realizing this authority, the following workflow can be automated in combination with Box Relay.

    (1) Lock the approved document managed by the editor.
    (2) The viewer…

  2. Metadata visibility in user activity report

    when we make changes to "fill in the blank" metadata fields, we would like to be able to see the 'before and after' what was entered within a user activity report or other type of report.

  3. User Classification

    Our organization uses Box to manage our controlled documentation. To access this information people, need to meet certain criteria to access certain types of documents. Box is great for classifying documents, but we are looking for a way to classify users to make it easy to know if we are able to share a specific document with a specific user. We would like to be able to add a property, tag, or some other identifier to a user's profile that would allow us to classify a user as a specific type. We would then like this classification to become a…

  4. Control managed user external collaboration to webmail accounts

    Setting that allows admin of corporate instance to control/limit managed users being collaborated into personal Box webmail accounts. This would be a setting to control/limit an outside Box webmail user collaborating a corporate managed user into its personal account.

  5. Ability to set an expiry date for external collaborators

    It would be very helpful to secure access to our files if we were able to set an expiry date when inviting external collaborators to a folder. It seems the only option is to share a link with an expiry date, but that leaves it open for the link to be sent to others and doesn't help if a collaborator needs wider access permissions, or just flag it up as a reminder in our Outlook calendars!

  7. Office 365 Image profile should be used as profile picture on Box website when Azure SSO is setup

    Office 365 Image profile should be used as profile picture on Box website when Azure SSO is setup. I noticed all Box accounts created via Azure SSO have a silhouette as the image. Would be great if it can pull the image from Office 365 profile.

  8. Indicate whether a user is a managed user or app user in Admin event stream

    Adding a parameter in the Admin event stream which indicates whether the user that took an action was a managed user or app user would make it more efficient for administrators or analytics tools to separate activity by the different user types. In an active enterprise the volume of events may be very great, and having this additional level of specificity would simplify reporting.

  9. Allow inheritance in folder structure

    Windows allows for folders to enable or disable inheritance from Parent folder to Child folders. This is needed in BOX so collaborators who don't need access or shouldn't have access to certain Child folders within a Parent folder can still navigate where access is needed and not expose sensitive data.

  10. Adding Company Information to Users to Prevent Wrong User Invitations

    When I invite a user with Box, information other than the email address is not displayed, so I think it is possible to invite another user by mistake.

    In order to solve this problem, I think it is necessary to display not only the email address and name but also the company information that the user belongs to when inviting the user.

    For managed users, we want to make it possible to register company affiliation information in account settings and so on, so that it can be displayed when inviting collaborators.

  11. Enable admin settings to customize new user onboarding setup flow

    The new user onboarding displayed at https://{DOMAIN}.app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow should be customizable.

    Currently new users are guided through a one time onboarding set of screens in the web app. These are Box branded and while they personally greet the user are not otherwise configurable.

    This feature should be opt-in, easily disabled by CLI or API (e.g. show-onboarding: False), or allow for customization.

    We can currently enable the promotion of Box Mobile, Notes, etc. in the Admin Console. This would be similar to implement and appropriate on the User Settings console tab.

    Right now the final screen displays a prompt for the user…

  12. Ability to reject group collaboration by individuals.

    The user may be invited as a group to a folder that is of little relevance to him.

    If we are invited to a folder as a group, we cannot remove the collaboration as only an individual.If we invite a group, but individuals within the group do not need to collaborate, please add a setting that allows us to de-collaborate (reject) only the relevant users.

    <個人がグループコラボレーションを拒否するための機能>

    ユーザーは、自分とはあまり関係のないフォルダにグループとして招待されることがあります。
    グループとしてフォルダに招待された場合、個人のみで連携を解除することはできません。

    グループを招待しているが、グループ内の個人がコラボレートを必要としていない場合、
    該当するユーザーのみコラボレートを解除(拒否)する設定を追加してください。

  14. Ability to search by "co-owner" or "editor", I see we can "sort by owners" but that doesn't do any good for users.

    We have detailers come in all the time we would like to be able to sort at the "All Folder" zone by "co-owner" or "editor" to ensure detailer gets put in all applicable folders. I see sort by "owner" but no one is that high in the group. the highest we're at is "co-owner" . the sorting feature would allow us to find, add and remove person(s) from folder(s) without having to open every folder and sort through all the users.

  15. Group membership retained when an account is deactivated

    We have scenarios where user accounts are suspended for a period of time e.g while a person is on extended leave. The business process is to disable the account in Active Directory which in turn deactivates the account in our SSO provider which also sets the account as Inactive in Box.

    When the account is reactivated the person retains access to all the folders they were collaborating in but they lose membership to all Box groups and need to be re-added

    We've also had incidents where accounts have mistakenly been deactivated resulting in the same issue

    Generally we prefer to…

  16. Unable to see folders users have access to through Group invitations

    A group is given access to a folder on Box (ie Project A). When the admin views what folders a specific user in Project A has access to, it does not show the collaborated folder for Project A

  17. Restrict Access Right to Sub-Folders

    Hello,

    After creating FOLDER A and SUB-FOLDERS B, C, D under A, along with sub-subfolders E, F, G under B, I granted User X viewer access to A. However, I aim to restrict or remove their access to C, E, F, and G. Unfortunately, this functionality isn't currently available with Box.com. Could you consider adding this feature? Thank you!

  18. No (additonal) Box license should be needed for external guests who have their own box domain

    Guest access should be useable with all Box subscriptions. No (additional) Box license should be necessary.

    Also if guests have their own box domain, no (additional) Box license should be necessary for both parties.

  19. Ability to exclude certain email addresses from accessing public links.

    Some links are shared with individuals both in and out of the organization. When the individuals move on, they no longer need access to our folders. It would be great if we could exclude their email addresses from future access.

  20. annotate

    When adding an annotation to a file, it would be nice to make it a once stop annotate and enable the person that i am @ mentioning to annotate the file and not require the owner to first extend the file through permissions, then go annotate. Annotation should be one process for sharing and extending annotation.
