    not planned  ·  Brad Monroe responded

    The overall request for the ability to annotate files in Box is tracked here: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-feedback/suggestions/35984509-ability-to-annotate-markup-files-documents-ima

    Specific to this request, we do not plan to expose the ability to mark up a file (with highlights, drawings, etc.) with annotations that aren’t visible to other users. The primary use case for annotations in Box is to share feedback on a given file, like these examples:
    “Update this paragraph to be here instead” on a document or “Change the color of this to blue” on an image

  4. Allow Excel to open report (csv) without worrying about encoding

    The encoding for such csv file is in UTF-8 (no Byte Order Mark) and Excel failed to interpret such file, resulting in non-Unicode character turning garble.

    Since we open this report in a Spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, it would be beneficial to have Byte Order Mark added to the csv report in the first place.

    The workaround now is either
    1) Open the csv file in a modern text editor and re-save it using UTF-8 (with Byte Order Mark)

    2) Open a blank spreadsheet on Excel. From "Data" tab click on import from text data source. The manually imported…

  6. Box used to have style options for the embed folder/file widget.

    We liked the option to customize the Box Embed widget since we embed content on sites like intranets.

    When the style options change or are taken away, it really impacts site consistency. Now, we can now only select the widget size, but don't see the Dark or Light option any longer.

  11. Viewer does NOT see Download button in Context Menu ('...' menu) nor in Action Bar when multiple items are selected

    .Given that Viewers have the ability to download watermarked files, the Download button should appear everywhere as normal. This ticket is to add the Download button in the following two locations for Viewers:
    * File list context menu ('...' menu)
    * Action bar when performing a multi-select

  12. Enable remote uploads with Box API

    Allow remote uploads with our upload API. OneDrive and Dropbox allow this method.

    Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#save-url
    OneDrive: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/OneDrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_upload_url

    We would like to upload files from external services directly and do not want to download the file to the client. Being able to upload files directly from external services will avoid deduplication of files.

  15. Allow authentication across multiple Box applications through one "passport"

    There are many ways in which to authenticate to Box through Mobile, Sync, Drive, Web etc. Is it possible to have a single unified check wherein we could then open any end-point for Box to authenticate?

  16. Make Box Lightning Component Pack for Community Cloud IDs field driven instead of static

    Rather than a static file / folder ID it would be great to be able to configure the component to allow dynamic IDs based off folders associated to new Salesforce records

  17. FTPS access for collaborators to a subfolder rather than through root level credentials

    Use Case: Research studies using radiology images that come in large image sets from tools like MRI scanners which can have hundreds to thousands of images which make it impossible or impractical to use the web interface.

    However, they are still external collaborators who should have the ability to send files.

  19. Ability to generate shared links with the same settings for multiple items in a folder

    We would like the ability to multi-select content, generate shared link references to the content, and either have the result exported to a CSV file or into a table formatted Box Note with File Name and shared link URL.

    We are looking to displace existing Wiki functionality in favor of Box
