    It would be nice to limit the characters allowed in a text field (either via the markup page or through a parameter in the template tags) (e.g. '[[t|1|m:1|limit:300]]). This way users can't type in an essay, typing OVER existing text already in the PDF

  2. The ability to control deletion and restoration from the Recycle Bin.

    I would like to see the ability to control the deletion and restoration of items from the Recycle Bin by user/group in the Enterprise Settings for Content and Sharing.
    Currently, when a free user is added to a tenant, the user added can delete and restore items that they own.
    If this feature is added, we would be able to control the deletion and restoration of items by the user in question on a per-user basis.

    Enterprise設定のコンテンツと共有に、ユーザー/グループ指定でごみ箱からの削除、復元が制御できる機能を追加してほしいです。
    現在、フリーユーザーをテナントに追加した時に該当ユーザーは自身が所有しているアイテムを削除、復元できてしまいます。
    この機能が追加された場合、該当ユーザーによるアイテムの削除、復元をユーザー単位でコントロール出来ます。

  3. I would like shortcut files created on Box Drive to be reflected on Box Web as well.

    I am aware that shortcut files (.lnk) created in Box Drive (on Explorer) are ignored as a file type and cannot be synchronized.
    However, in my work, I use Box Drive a lot and sometimes create shortcuts, but I can't share them because they are not synced, and they are deleted when I log out of the system.
    I feel this kind of specification is very inconvenient.
    I would love to see you respond to make this happen.

    (Japanese)
    Box Drive(エクスプローラー上)で作成したショートカットファイル(.lnk)は、
    無視されるファイルの種類として対象となっており同期が出来ないことは認識してます。
    しかしながら業務上、Box Driveの利用が多くショートカットの作成することがありますが、
    同期されないことで共有もできず、またログアウトしたことで削除されてしまう。
    このような仕様だと大変不便に感じてます。
    実現に向けて是非対応してほしい。

  4. use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)

    Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.

    Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

  5. Allow End Users to run a Collaborations Report for Content they Own

    As organizations scale, IT Admins may want to enable end users to manage their own content and who has access to this content. Users being able to run a collaborations report and/or a folder and files report on content that they own is important for enabling users to manage their own content collabs so that these responsibilities can be distributed, and don't necessarily fall solely on the admin and security teams who manage Box to audit content and associated collaborations. End users that own content should be empowered with all the tools necessary to manage who has access to content…

  6. Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads

    When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.

    However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.

    We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible

    Because User Activity Reports record items as 'Download'…

  7. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

  8. Request for Early Improvement of Upload Speed for Large Files in BoxZones Environment (excluding the United States).

    While improvements have been made in the past regarding upload speed in the NonZones environment, these improvements have not yet been implemented in the Zones environment.

    There is no significant difference for small to medium-sized files, but there is a noticeable difference for large files of 1GB or more, with a roughly threefold gap observed in multiple upload speed measurements.

    As employees regularly upload large-sized drawings, photos, videos, and other data in their daily tasks, this disparity leads to missed opportunities and decreased productivity.

    Particularly, when transitioning from the NonZones environment to the Zones environment, it results in a deteriorated user…

  10. Box Relay outcome to Apply Classification to a folder dynamically

    It would be helpful if Box Relay would have the ability to apply a classification to the folder where the workflow was triggered on dynamically as an outcome, which would also classify all content within that folder structure as well. This would allow applying classifications to the folder that a new file event trigger happened in for example, which would then flow classifications to all content and sub-folders in that folder structure.

  11. PII and PI fields for text within Boxnotes for granular access control

    Customer-facing workers would like to be able to create, store and manage information about their customers in order to better serve them. This often involves storing personally-identifiable information (PII) within Boxnotes. The feature request is the ability to mark or tag specific pieces of text (such as a person's name for example) as PII and control who has access to view such PII. This is because many knowledge workers are part of large distributed teams, and many of the team members need access to the customer-related information within Boxnotes, but not the PII. This would be a way to make…

  12. Please separate the colors of the icons displayed in folders and files.

    Due to the release of Box Shield's new classification indicators, the colors of the "lock icon" and "shared link icon" displayed on folders and files are all grayed out.
    In the past, the "lock icon" was red, and the "shared link icon" was blue, etc., making it easy for users to see and use.

    We believe this is a far cry from Box's goal of accessibility, which is "ease of use for all users."
    In order to provide an easy-to-use environment for all users, please restore the icon colors to the previous specifications or color code them.

  15. zip file decompression function

    Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
    We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
    It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.

  16. Add the ability to fix scrollbars in tables

    We make great use of the table feature of Box Notes and often create tables with a huge number of columns.
    A while ago the UI was changed and scrollbars became available.
    However, the longer the table is, the longer it takes to get to the scrollbar, because the scrollbar does not appear until I get to the bottom row.
    I have to go further just to find the scroll bars, and I find this operation laborious.
    Therefore, we would like the scrollbar to be fixed so that it always appears at the bottom of the table currently displayed on…

  17. Schedule settings for all reports

    Currently, the following reports cannot be scheduled.
    ・Platform Activity
    ・Outbound Activity
    ・Security Logs
    ・Legal Holds
    ・Retention

    There are several types of reports that only the administrator can output, Since it takes time to output each report, automatic acquisition on a regular basis will improve operational efficiency.

    ・リテンション

    管理者しか出力できないレポートの種類が複数あり、各レポートの出力にも時間がかかるため、
    定期的に自動取得が行えれば業務効率化につながります。

  18. Box Status site improvement

    1. Adding status of each region on Box Status site(https://status.box.com/) , because currently an outage impacting only users in a specific zone/region doesn’t appear on the status site. (e.g. customers who are in Asia region are unable to download/upload/preview.)

    2. Clarifying the definition of impact. "Incident Response and Communications" article (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697394-Our-Approach-to-Incident-Response-and-Communications) has the guideline of customer impact. However, definitions and examples of each category are not clear enough.

  19. I would like to see functionality added to the terminate_sessions API to delete cache information.

    When an administrator deletes BoxDrive session information, the cache remains.
    Even if an administrator deletes BoxDrive session information using the terminatesessions API, the cache will remain on the user side because this API is different from normal logoff.
    In this situation, even if the user loses the authority to handle the data, the data remains at hand, which may cause a security incident by a malicious user.
    Therefore, we would like to add a function to delete cache information when the terminate
    sessions API is executed.
    In the above difficult case (because deleting the client's cache seems difficult due…

  20. Provide an exportable report for Shield Admin for each Anomalous Download alert

    Every time an anomalous download alert is received, IT would ideally want to share a readily available report (XLSX / CSV) with the affected user's manager as they would know far more about the content and whether this is abnormal behavior. As it stands today, if the alert is not big then a manual list of folders / files is provided, or we have to run a User Activity Report (which can take some time) and then filter and cut down accordingly.
