1. Requests regarding Box For Teams V2

   I would like to use the Box For Teams V2 integration, but the following functions are bottlenecks and cannot be used.

   Therefore, I want to be able to turn off only the following functions in the tenant settings.
   　
   　・Automatic creation of Box folders for teams/channels
   　・Automatic mapping of user permissions

   In most cases, Japanese companies use a controlled system in which the administrator owns the items.

   However, if folders are automatically created or permissions are automatically attached with the Box For Teams V2 integration, control cannot be taken, so we requested this.

   Box For Teams V2連携を利用したいが下記の機能がボトルネックになり利用できない。
   そのため、テナント設定で下記機能のみをOFFに出来るようにして欲しい。
   　・チーム/チャネル用Boxフォルダの自動作成
   　・ユーザー権限の自動マッピング

   ・背景
   日本の企業では管理者にアイテムを所有させる統制型で利用するケースが殆どです。

   しかしながら、Box For Teams V2連携で自動でフォルダ作成されたり、自動で権限がついてしまうと統制が取れないため、要望いたしました。

2. Box Sign Completed Document Sent Via Email

   It would be great with Box Sign, if when a document is completed the email also includes a copy of the document, not just a link

3. Improve the use of Variable Strings in the JAVA SDK

   For customers who are leveraging an API gateway using Java SDK version 3.2.1 some URL prefix text strings are not dynamically adjusted.

   For example, when customers are downloading the file representation in it tries to call directly the box API URL like the following URL:

   https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/

   Some customers may be leveraging a customer specific gateway, so they need to be able to dynamically change the URL where https://api.box.com/ is replaced with the gateway prefix like all the other calls:

   {{CUSTOMERGATEWAY}} /internalfiles/123/versions/345/representations/jpgthumb32x32

   There are a number of places where the prefix was not dynamic.

4. Run User Activity Report with API

   We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
   Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
   Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

5. Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)

   Hi,
   it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.

   If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.

   Best regards,

6. ADD LOCKED FOLDERS LIST IN THE USER ACTIVITY REPORT

   Currently we have no way to look up which holders are locked via FolderLockAPI.
   To avoid any trouble not knowing who has been locked,
   we'd like to request to add the locked folders list in the user activity report.

7. Allow Marking Folders as "Move Locked" To Prevent Users From Moving Certain Folders Regardless Of Permissions

   Our admins are constantly dealing with users who accidentally drag and drop folders into other folders. This can have a big impact across our org, especially when a high level folder that's shared across the company is moved. Here's a common use case:

   We have a top level Projects folder. That folder contains a subfolder for every organization we do business with. Those Organization folders then contain subfolders for individual projects. We'd like to be able to mark the Organization level folders as Move Locked so that our users don't accidentally move folders from one Organization into another. This happens constantly in Box Drive.

   The idea would be that an admin can mark a folder as Move Locked, and the folder would be identified with an icon letting users know that it's move locked. The only way to move it would be for an admin to unlock it first.

   Thank you for the suggestion. Box currently offers the ability to lock folders using the folder lock API - https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/

   
   

   We do not have a feature on our roadmap to expose this functionality from Box Drive. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.

   Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

   
   

8. "inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage

   FEATURE IDEA:
   Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.

   BENEFITS & BACKGROUND

   During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).

   Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or actively reported) as being "inactive" and yet those files are costing Box and their customers the same amount. As a result, organizations are searching for alternative cost-effective solutions to move their data into. Implementing a separate solution for a subset of Box data requires significant technical, administrative, procedural, and support overhead.

   Given a user or admin-driven active/inactive flag, Box could engineer their platform to use cheaper back-end storage for inactive data, and more permanent storage for active data, ultimately providing a more cost-effective service.

   Administrators could be given the ability to set the parameters for what makes something an "inactive" file, and then allow end-users to tag their own content.

   Allowing a view and controls around "active" vs "inactive" content, means Box could then provide X amount of "active" storage, and Y amount of "inactive" storage quota either included in the price, or for an additional fee (at better a less-expensive per TB rate). Organizations can then choose to deploy the associated quota controls and processes based on their own budget and needs for active and inactive storage.

   Market opportunity -- other cloud  providers do not provide user-initiated controls for this kind of approach to data storage and management. If the providers are implementing anything like this, it is not transparent to the user. Box may have an opportunity to retain users and their data, by providing a more cost-effective glacier/cold-line/archive/inactive data storage offering, side-by-side with the rest of the Box platform.

   Box storage platform already has optimizations in place to intelligently detect active (most recently and frequently used) data, and migrate it to cost-effective tiers. Great suggestion though! 

9. starts with, ends with, contains in metadata search

10. Support custom objects via the mobile Salesforce and Box integration.

    The Box and Salesforce integration for Salesforce mobile does not support custom objects at all so we had to create a deep link workaround that redirects to the associated folder within the box mobile experience (this also requires some salesforce coding to populate a field with the corresponding folderID). This is not a seamless experience....it is a clunky redirect.

    Also, you are not able to create the corresponding box folder for the first time from the mobile experience....you have to create the box folder from the desktop from within the box integration within salesforce first, before you are able to access it from mobile. This is mainly due to the the mobile box and salesforce integration not supporting custom objects out of the box.

    The custom object set up for the web app is also not seamless and requires from VF and tricky setup.

11. MFA Excluded User List Needed

    MFA Excluded User List Needed - if a user has to switch MFA devices, as of now the Admin would need to globally turn MFA off for everyone, also an admin might need to setup a box account and login as a user (say using lastpass) before the hire date, thus they need to be on an exclusion list until they start, additionally automated processes might need a login that would be excluded from MFA needs direclty within box, thus the requirement for an exclusion list for MFA that is freely adjustable.

    1. We will soon have the ability to download back up codes that can be used in case you don't have access to your MFA device.
    2. Certain Box plans have the ability to exempt specific users from MFA.
    3. We do have this exclusion list for external users.

    
    

    Given these, we don't have plans to add an exclusion list for managed user MFA at this point.

12. Tasks in relay are owned by Relay owner rather than workflow initiator

    Currently tasks have owner and assignee. The owner is always relay owner, who gets notifications when there are any changes to the task which may not be ideal.

    Allow for an option to have the task owner be the workflow initiator instead.

16. Add external collaborator's expiration date on collaboration report

    In the collaboration report, there are invited date and accepted date, but there is no expiration date. Would it be possible to add expiration date in the collaboration report?
    Because it is too tough to confirm the expiration date one by one on the collaboration list page or using API, I demand the way to confirm enitre expiration date easily.

    Thanks for the suggestion! We are looking at how to improve content sprawl on Drive. We will be considering Collections as a possible path (among other options), but don’t have a change planned in the near-term.

18. Users should be able to set up 2FA on their phones

    We invite external users who only have phones. However, we are set up for 2FA. That means these users need to find a computer to login via the webapp to set up 2FA before we can begin collaborating. This is an issue. The mobile interface should allow 2FA to be set up.

20. Show file/metadata info from Photoshop image files

    Photographers submit their images to our Box account for use in our publications. The industry standard is for professional photographers to add metadata like the photo credit and caption to each photo using the "File Info" tool in Photoshop. Unfortunately, after doing so and then uploading the images to Box, the metadata added in Photoshop is not visible in Box's metadata section. Please consider exposing this info under "details" or "metadata."

    Extra credit: Allow us to edit that same metadata in Box. Doing so would allow the correct credit and caption info to flow into our InDesign layouts. Saving lots of time and room for error. Thanks for considering this!

    While we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.
