  1. Configuring the Default Box Drive Folder Location

    In the latest version of Box Drive and OS it is no longer possibly to change the file path to a shared folder. This is causing many linking issues for my team as we work within shared files. Would love for this to be reconsidered again and put it the next box update.

  2. Ability to automatically add permissions to a group when sending approval task in Relay

    When sending an approval task in Relay to a user that does not have folder permissions, Relay would invite that user as collaborator, but if a task is sent to a group, automatic invite does not work. It is crucial to enable to automatically add permissions to a group when sending approval task in Relay

  3. Expose workflow APIs to track progress of individual workflows

    Today when querying for active workflows, the Box workflow API returns only workflow templates and not the actual workflow instances that each user initiates. As a relay user initiating a workflow based on a manual start trigger at the same time as other users I want to be able to query the workflow API to obtain information about a specific workflow instance, this feature will allow a user to get real time information on the status of each active workflow and not just the template. Without the ability to track the status of workflows in a granular fashion multi-step workflows…

  4. Using folders:items is not recursive

    Running the command
    box folders:items [IDOFFOLDER] --csv --save-to-file-path=[PATHTOFOLDERTOSAVE_REPORT]

    To get a list of files and their respective SHA1 values is difficult as this command has to be run on each folder within the tree. There should be a recursive option, or better yet, a report a user can run to provide the SHA1 values within a tree. This is very important for eDiscovery and chain of custody.

  6. Notifications not sent when Viewer downloads watermarked file

    Notifications do not get sent when a Viewer downloads a watermarked file.

    I understand that the notification engine is getting replaced/upgraded, and I hope this gets fixed in the next generation.

    This function is important to Enterprise users trying to keep track of downloads by low-permissions users.

  7. The BoxShield "Sign Request Restrictions" feature should be improved so that signature PDF and Log files can be generated.

     In the BoxShield "Restrict BoxSign Requests" function, by selecting Access Policy > Security Control > Restrict External Collaboration > [Existing and New External Collaboration], signatures can be made, but no signature PDF or Log file is generated.
     Please improve so that signature PDF and Log files can be generated normally when signing.

    <Japanese>
     BoxShield「BoxSignリクエストの制限」機能にて、アクセスポリシー>セキュリティコントロール>外部コラボレーションの制限>[既存および新規の外部コラボレーション]選択によって、署名はできるが署名PDF・Logファイルは生成されない。
     署名した際に、普通に署名PDFおよびLogファイルが生成できるよう改善してほしい。

  8. Box Image Previews Now Crop the Preview in Grid View

    Box Preview now crops the images show in Grid View previews so the user is now unable to see the full image unless clicking in.

    The previous Grid View previews were the full image size, which allowed for faster reviews of multiple assets. Clicking into each size now adds a great deal of time to the file review process.

    Please consider changing back to the old Grid View preview system. Thank you!

  9. Reminder to migrate files PSU Box when a faculty leaves PSU

    I created and uploaded some vmware images to PSU Boxes. And I shared several links to files at PSU Box. When I leaved PSU, I forget to migrate my files to our file hosting platform. Therefore, all my files are deleted and lost.

  10. File version on Shield Alert

    I would like to have the actual file version shown in the Shield Dashboard Alert ID. Currently it shows when the file is uploaded but does not show the file version. If the version is shown, it would be much easier to check the file.

  11. I want to set conditions for files in File Request

    I want to limit the types of files that can be received by checking file extensions (Word, Excel, Power Point, PDF, image, video, audio files, etc.)
    I want to be able to set a single file size limit.

    Implementing this function improves security.

    【ファイルリクエストでファイルに条件の設定をしたい】

    ファイルの拡張子(Word, Excel ,Power Point , PDF、画像、ビデオ、オーディオファイル等)のチェックを付けられるようにして受け取れるファイル種別を制限したい
    単一ファイルサイズの上限の設定をできるようにしたい。

    この機能を実現することでセキュリティ面が向上します。

  12. Increase maximum image size for branding a Box Sign to above 1 MB

    Upload limit for Box Sign Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.

  15. Grant users with "Viewer Uploader" permissions, the ability to name subfolders they create.

    If a user is granted "Viewer Uploader" has edit permissions and can create subfolders inside of a folder they have permission, why don't the have the permissions to name that subfolder?

    I would like to see permissions changed to allow subfolder created by someone with "Viewer Uploader" permissions to be able to at least name the folder that person just created.

  16. Use Metadata Fields to Rename Files

    In Relay, under the Rename outcome, I would like to be able to use fields from a metadata template as pieces to rename the file (and have (2) etc. added to the end of a file name in the case that duplicate names are generated like Windows does).

    If a metadata template is part of a file request for a given folder, then I would like the option to use its fields to rename files through a workflow that is trigged when a file is uploaded. For example, when file is uploaded, rename uploaded file to "Submission by 'metadata-first-name' 'metadata-email-address'".

  17. Box Sign: Update request status to failed if the request email bounces back

    It would be helpful if when a sign request is sent to an invalid email address that Box monitors for bounce backs from that email and updates the request appropriately. At the moment it just stays stuck in Pending which isn't ideal and doesnt give you much information.

  19. 16:9 default slide size for PowerPoint creation from a folder

    When we create a PowerPoint from +New button, the plane slides will be shown with Standard, 4:3.
    According to the current standard, could you change the default size from 4:3 to 16:9? Or Could we have the setting that we can change the default size by ourselves?

  20. Trigger rescan for Auto-Classification when adding new classifications

    We did not implement Box Shield immediately upon standing up our new environment. After over 1TB of data was uploaded, leadership wanted us to implement new auto-classifications. There is currently no way to force a rescan of all existing documents to apply those new classifications. Going into each folder and copy/pasting, moving, or editing each file is impractical for tens of thousands of uploaded files. Would like a simple way to trigger the rescan without having to engage for a consulting project for box.com to create custom scripts to update the classifications.
