  1. Unable to Retrieve Collaborator Email Address for a non-Registered Collaborator

    From the Developer:

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Create a collaboration to a folder with email, that not already registered in Box.com.
    2) Create a request via Java SDK to get collaborations from this folder. Response like this will be returned:
    {"totalcount":1,"entries":[
    {"type":"collaboration",
    "id":"987654321",
    "created
    by":{"type":"user","id":"23421234","name":"xxx","login":"xxx@xxx.xxx"},
    "createdat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
    "modified
    at":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
    "expiresat":null,
    "status":"pending",
    "accessible
    by":null,
    "role":"editor",
    "acknowledgedat":null,
    "item":{"type":"folder","id":"123456","sequence
    id":"0","etag":"0","name":"FolderToCollaborate"}}
    ]}
    'AccessibleBy' is null. So we don't receive an information about collaboration, for example email. But if user with this email registered in box, we receive information about it, like this:
    ...
    "status":"accepted",
    "accessible_by":{"type":"user","id":"1233445678","name":"Yyy .","login":"yyy@yyy.yyy"},
    "role":"viewer", …

  3. More efficient way to get metadata on files in search

    Search by metadata returns a list of files. That list isn't much use without knowing the metadata it matched. To use Box's metadata for anything past the initial search query that's related to display, each individual search result must be queried for its metadata.

  4. Add Ability to @mention Collaborators when Added via Group

    Currently, users cannot @mention collaborators when they've been added to the folder via a Group.

    Request: Allow users to @mention collaborators, regardless of whether they've been individually added or added via a Group.

    As part of the Retention UI revamp that was released alongside Metadata Driven Retention on April 11, 2018, customers can now add more than one folder to a policy via the Admin Console. We now have greater parity between our UI and API.

  11. French translation inconsistency in the action button "Corbeille"

    There is a translation inconsistency in the action button Corbeille (Trash), which creates some confusion among users. The button should state an action, not the actual object as this leads some users to think that the button takes you to the actual Trash.

    We suggest something like "mettre la corbeille," instead.

  15. Metadata Inheritance (Folder-Level) via Cascade Policies

    Allow metadata fields to be applied at the folder level, with files in that folder (or added to that folder) automatically inheriting the metadata fields AND potentially the values associated with those fields.

  16. Auto-Hide Password Field on Login Page ('Smart SSO')

    The Box standard (non-custom branded) login page (account.box.com) does not automatically remove the password field if the email entered is in an EID with SSO Required.

    This means that users are often presented a password field that they don't even need to fill in, and they often have never even created a Box password, so they end up putting their SSO password into the field, then just have to enter it again when redirected to their SSO / IdP login page.

  17. 'Email Shared Link' - Allow Searches to Include Spaces

    The 'email shared link' feature (in the Shared Link pop-up) does not allow the user to enter a space when typing in the name/email field, meaning a user cannot type someone's first and last name to narrow down to exactly who they want.

  18. Disable 'Upload via Email' Admin Setting Globally

    Currently, the 'Upload via Email' setting (that's shown on the Folder Settings page) is always enabled, and admins have no way of disabling this setting globally in their instance.

    REQUEST: Add a new option to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Security -> Uploads that gives Admins the ability to disable this setting/option globally.

    We are planning to add the folder filter back to the search results page. We don’t plan on adding it to the quicksearch dropdown.
