  1. Change messaging when the target for a data move is invalid

    When data is attempted to be moved to an account that is inactive, the error says "something went wrong. User requests that the error say more about why the transfer cannot occur.

  2. Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)

    Use Case:
    - There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
    - This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
    - Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folder

    Currently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:

    Option 1:
    Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
    Export the report
    Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column
    This requires…

  4. "Move Owned Items" API call fails for users with a large amount of content.

    We aim to fully automate the deprovisioning of users using Box Platform. This normally involves transferring content the user owned to their manager or another service account. For users who own large amounts of content this is challenging (even via the UI), and not possible at all using API.

  5. Visual Versions: Preview prior versions directly in the web app

    Concurrent editing feature in Office Online can result in 200+ versions of a document within a matter of hours.

    There is no easy way to identify which version we want to roll back to without downloading previous versions.

    We would like a preview of earlier versions to be available in the web app - does not need to be a full html5 but maybe an instant preview?

  6. When a user downloads a folder, the admin would like the individual files shown as downloaded in the access stats reports

    Currently if you download a folder, the report will only show the user downloading a folder, not the individual files iwthin the folder. The client would like to know exactly what was downloaded as the content of a folder can change in it lifetime

  9. increase font size on file/folder picker

    Relay's file picker has a noticeably smaller font size and it's inconsistent with our new ui's brand

    We are moving to the Box File picker widget.

  10. Ability to Annotate / Markup Files (documents, images, etc.)

    Users can currently comment on files, and this request is to extend that functionality to allow users to add annotations to specific locations within a document or file.

    Specific types of annotations to support:
    — Drawing (e.g., circles, arrows, freehand, etc.)
    — Point
    — Highlight

  11. Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions

    In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.

    Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
    --"John D" will populate correctly
    --"jdoe" will populate correctly
    --"Doe" will NOT populate correctly

    REQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).

    Thank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

  12. Show Exact Timestamp for Comments (Instead of 'X Months Ago')

    Make new Web App comment timestamps exact, just like they were in Legacy.

    We’ve updated the timestamps shown in the Activity sidebar of Amsterdam for Comments and Tasks such that they now show a more logical mix of exact and relative dates. Additionally, you can always hover over a timestamp to see a tooltip with the full day/date/time for any entry.

  13. User Trash -- Ability to search within Trash from the Web for end users

    Since Box has a public-facing Search API that allows searching within the Trash, the Web App should also make use of this functionality and allow users to search in Trash from the Web. API documentation here: https://docs.box.com/reference#searching-for-content

  14. Security Report: Log when apps are disabled/enabled in the Admin Console

    Currently, when admins/co-admins mark apps as 'available' or 'disabled' in the Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Apps page, no reporting event is triggered, meaning companies have no way to self-identify who enabled/disabled which applications/endpoints, and this is a major security concern for some customers.

    REQUEST: Add entries to the Security Report in the admin console whenever:
    1. A published app's status is changed between Available, Disabled, and Added by Default (via the Enterprise Settings -> Apps page)
    2. An API key is added/removed from the Unpublished Applications Whitelist field on Enterprise Settings -> Apps

  16. Initiate retention time period on content Based on Metadata / Attributes Upon Upload (Migration) to Box

    For example, when content is uploaded to Box, applying a 7 year retention policy to content, but basing it off the last modified or created date. In this scenario, the 7 year policy would apply to the content, but it would not live for 7 years in Box - it would like for 7 years from the last modified/created date.

    Transcription and translation capabilities from any ML provider can be integrated into Box today with the Box Skills Kit. These can be automatically added to Box metadata via a Box Custom Skill and viewed in the Box Preview experience.

  18. Allow preview of either the latest 99 comments on a file or all comments

    If a file has more than 100 comments on it, there are 2 issues at play:
    1) the mobile app only displays 100 of the 100+ comments
    2) of the 100 comments the mobile app does display, it shows the oldest 100 comments

    Ideally the mobile app could display all existing comments (aka more than 100 comments). If this is not possible or too intensive a project, instead of displaying the oldest 100 comments it should instead at least display the latest/most recent 100 comments
