SSO Required to have exemptions for Admin(s)
This actually makes a lot of sense as we have it for Device Trust, but we would like SSO Required WHILST exempting an admin or two. If the IdP is down, no one can get in and this would create a catastrophic business impact.
14 votesThis is not currently prioritized. We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

Bulk Download Speed Increase
We're attempting to download files over 10 GB using the bulk download feature but it is taking longer than it would take if they were to download each file individually. It appears we are hitting a limit to which the bulk download feature is actually improving their speeds.

Usage Logs and Admin Events don't report version reversion
ITEMMAKECURRENT_VERSION is a Standard User Event in the API but doesn't show up in Usage Logs or Admin Events.
When a previous version of a file is promoted as the latest version, we do not receive an enterprise notification for that.
If we quarantine a file (create tombstone as say version 2) and the user makes the v1 version as latest (v3), then the event received is of type user event and not an enterprise event, which makes us not be able to process such a change.

Tables - Ability to Copy a Row and Paste into a Table in A Different Box Note
Requesting ability to copy a Box Note row and paste into another Box Note table (preserving formatting and links). Currently, you can paste into a new table this way, not an existing table in our testing.
Rationale: Ease of use, consistent ability to cut and paste
21 votesWe understand this use case, however it is not a current priority for the team. We will let you know if anything changes.

This is a non-trivial change to our architecture and user-experience. We will consider this as we review our organizational structure for content within Box.

Please expand user name character field limit from 50 to 100 words.
Global companies need local characters such as Japanese and English for name field and 50 is short for some names
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. Once we see more traction from customers who want are requesting this functionality, we can revisit our decision.

Usage Logs - Include WebDAV Login Actions
We currently don't see WebDAV login activities in the Usage Report. We want to see the log for WebDAV failure logins for security reasons.
2 votesThis is a resource-intensive request which is not on our short-term roadmap. We will update you if anything changes.

If a managed user triggers IP CAPTCHA, send an email notification to the enterprise's admin.
If a user triggers CAPTCHA on an IP address, it could potentially impact many users if our account is NATing our IPs to one external IP.
Typically this is caused by an end user saving a bad set of credentials into some kind of client (FTP or WebDAV) that is constantly trying to reconnect.
2 votesThis request makes sense, but this is not something that is planned for the foreseeable future.
I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

Bulk Edit - Add 'Status' column to Bulk Edit spreadsheet
There is no way in the Admin Console to update 'status' (active, inactive, etc.) for 2 or more users at once (aka in bulk).
22 votesEnhancements to the Bulk Add/Edit feature are not currently on the roadmap, but will keep track of this request and consider prioritizing if many customers are requesting it. User status can be edited via API or SAML

This is not something that we would consider as part of the basic virus-scan for all files today. Customers requiring advanced features such as quarantining malicious files can benefit from a CASB product with Box integration

Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address
This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.
Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.
This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via SAML).
20 votesThis feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.
Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.

Improve event information on shared link changes
When running Reports > Usage Logs > select all for "File Sharing" in the Admin Console, you currently only see that a user modified a Shared Link access level. This new feature would allow admins to see what access level the Shared Link was prior to and after the change.
This is important if an admin wants to know how accessible the content was when the Shared Link was initially created and shared.

Clarify in collaborators list which users are active and inactive
Our admin accidentally transferred data from an account to a deactivated account causing collaborators to temporarily lose access.
She pointed out that she could not tell from the list of collaborators which users were deactivated that have something like that would have prevented her from making that mistake.
7 votesThank you for the request! If we hear this from additional users, we will consider this again.

Thank you for the suggestion. While we do understand this feature would be valuable, it is not currently prioritized for this year. We will update this thread if we decide to revisit this request in the future.
