  2. Box Shield Smart Access - Require approval when doing a Business Justification override of a Classification

    I want to allow team members to override a Box Shield Classification/Access Policy with a Business Justification ONLY IF the appropriate person approves the override.

    "Appropriate person" would be 100% configurable and different across different Classification Labels. Options like:
    - Person who created the Classification Label
    - Main Admin or Co-Admin with appropriate permissions
    - An assigned authorized person or group (e.g. legal, compliance, infosec, IT, folder or file owner).

    E.g. scenario #1: "Highly Classified" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, xxx person in InfoSec, or yyy person in IT could approve the override.

    E.g. scenario #2: "Internal…

  3. Alert if classification label is changed

    Send a notification when a classification is changed. When a classification is changed for a piece of sensitive content, there is currently not an alert or notification generated. Reporting capabilities on any changed classification labels are also important.

  5. Limit applying a classification label to a specific user group

    I want to be able to limit the permission on a particular classification label. I have a class label that I want only a specific user group to be able to apply. There is an approval process in place (via Box Relay) for labeling content with the specific class label, and I don't want my users to be able to use that label without going through the approval process or limit it so only the admin group can apply the class label. Thanks!

  7. Automatically re-route content flagged by Box Shield Malware scan to a specific folder owned by IT/InfoSec/Admin

    Automatically re-route content flagged by Box Shield Malware scan to a specific folder owned by IT/InfoSec/Admin. After the IT/InfoSec/Admin team approved the folder/file as safe, then release it back to its original location.

  8. Smart Access: Allow move/copy even with download restriction

    Download restriction restricts external users (editor permission) from moving content within folders they have access to. There should be an option to restrict download but also allow for moving and copying within folders that have the classification policy because to an end user, this is not a download function.

  9. Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files

    Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.

    Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list

  11. Access Control Restrictions by user

    As a administrator, I would like the ability to turn off certain Access Control Restrictions across all collaborators vs. limiting it to specific collaborator roles.

    Example:
    Download / Print Restrictions.

    we would still like users to leverage the app but, not allow them to download/print to their mobile device. Yes, the app function can be disable enterprise-wide but, we want to limit it to a specific function within the mobile app regardless of their collaborator role.

  12. Uploading restrictions for folders to which Box Shield's "External Collaborator Restrictions" are applied

    We would like to be able to restrict users from uploading files and folders to folders to which BoxShield's "External Collaborator Restrictions" have been applied by dragging and dropping them into the browser.
    By granting users the authority to edit and prohibiting uploads, it will be possible to more clearly distinguish between file management and access authority management, and allow editing while maintaining a level of security.

    (In Japanese)
    BoxShieldの「外部コラボレータ制限」を適用しているフォルダに、ブラウザへのドラッグ&ドロップでファイル・フォルダをアップロードすることを制限できるようにしてほしいです。
    ユーザーに編集する権限を付与し、アップロードを禁止する事でファイル管理及びアクセス権限の管理をより明確に区別し、セキュリティレベルを保ちつつ編集を可能とする事が可能になると考えられます。

  13. I would like the access policy to have preview only functionality

    I would like the access policy to have preview only functionality.
    If only some files in a folder with editor privileges can be set to preview, there is no need to create a separate folder.

  14. If the access policy restricts download and printing, Excel files cannot be co-edited with MS Excel Online

    Excel files cannot be co-edited in MS Excel Online if the access policy restricts downloading and printing.
    One of the purposes of using Excel Online is co-editing.
    I would like to be able to co-edit in a situation where downloads are restricted.

  15. I would like to be able to change from a classification with a strict policy to a classification with a loose policy. The reverse should be

    For the purpose of strictly protecting confidential information, we want to make it impossible to change from strict to loose permissions, even for users who have the authority to change classification labels. However, with the current Shield function, it is not possible to set the priority of changeability.
    One possible way to achieve this is to allow users to set rankings for classifications or policies, and to limit the direction of the rankings.

  16. BOX SHIELD - Block all applications from downloading content

    The following feature is redundant:

    Block all applications from downloading content - No integrated applications (except Microsoft Office for the web, Google Workspace, Apple iWork, and Adobe Acrobat Online) or published custom applications will be able to download content protected by the access policy.

    I thought the purpose of Box Shield was to protect organizations from data breaches????

    We have configured everything within our box account to prevent certain data from being download or printed. However, Box gives our users the option to open these confidential files in Adobe Acrobat which then allows them to download, print, and anything else…

  18. Access policies for individual folders

    Would it be possible to set up access policies that can be applied per-folder instead of by Classification label?

    We have Ethical Walls and security concerns where we need to prevent sharing of files of Client A with Client B and also with preventing individual users from being shared folders.

    One way to do this would be classification policies - but I have far more clients than the twenty five label limit.

    The way around this would be to allow access policies by folder, regardless of classification, as well as the Box-wide access policy for unclassified content.

    Client A -…

  20. Show Auto-Classification Criteria Matches on Classification Label On File

    Auto-classification matches are currently stored within metadata on a file. If auto-classification classifies a piece of content, we'd like for the classification label indicator on a file (or hovering over the label) to show what criteria was met which requires a specific label. The purpose of this is to have a visual indicator to reinforce the sensitivity of content within a file.
