Upload policies catching too many false positives
137 files flagged so far today for Social Security Violation. Here is the warning information: File attached.
I am getting so many false positives that I would need a team to look at every single file that gets flagged. The scanning engine is terrible. Please escalate to your internal dev group so it can get fixed.
2 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)
Other applications (like Slack) have a user-level free text field (similar to a User Description / Information field) where admins or users can enter free text to describe the user.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary
Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.
This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.

User management settings in mobile app
We would like user management access within the mobile iOS app. We would like to be able to reset a password on the fly as well as deactivate someone quickly if we are not near our computer.
1 voteThank you for the suggest! This is not an area in which we will invest.
App usage would be sporadic and would not drive engagement as much as dedicating our resources towards our existing apps.

Tracking Codes via SAML
REQUEST: The ability to add tracking codes as part of the SAML assertion. Currently Tracking Codes must be managed manually in the Admin Console or vis API.
1 voteThank you for this suggestion. We will not be prioritizing this in our roadmap. We will review with additional customer demand.

Allow Save to PDF from Office to point to Box share.
Users currently use the "Save as Adobe PDF" which I believe is a plugin for Office. It generates a popup window for "Acrobat PDFMaker" which uses the standard Windows Explorer.
As a result, users need to save to local drive first, then upload to Box. They'd like to save a PDF directly to Box.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

We don’t plan to currently support this, as most customers would find it problematic if a user could simply turn on the smallest possible security measures and thus receive a “valid” device.

Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships
Allow for a Point in Time recovery.
We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.
5 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Report on all Upload email addresses that are created
Currently we can create a report on shared links. There is not a way to track all upload email addresses that have been created. The features surrounding upload email addresses is rather limited compared to the features associated with shared links.

Viewers of watermarked files can download file before previewing it
Owner of folder wants to have users be able to mass download files within watermarked folder. In the current way, user has to preview each file individually before seeing option to download.

Ability to add attachments to Box Notes
As a collaborative editing tool, attaching related materials would be useful in many situations (today, we upload the attachments & link to them, but this presents access limitations & additional steps.)
This is essentially already allowed with the upload ability of image types, but given file level collaboration, having attachments would solve numerous issues our teams are starting to encounter.
3 votesThis is not a current focus area for the Box Notes roadmap. We are happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Ability for Reply to Box Shared Link Emails to be sent directly to sender
When using the Box's Email Shared Link, there is no bounce back email or there is no way to track or reply to the email (the address has the name of the sender with a Box no reply email address).
Request: Have email of the sender instead of the no reply box email address

Force the Box iOS / Box Android / Box EMM applications to re-authenticate more often than every 60 days.
Ideally, we would like for the timeframe to be user definable.
This is an important security requirement for us as we move into supporting non-GFE devices, so please do let us know if you need additional information.
1 voteThe mobile app is built on top of our APIs and therefore adheres to the standard token durations. Applications that are managed through an EMM provider already provide an advanced level of security that reduces overall risk.
As a workaround, through your EMM provider, you could revoke the Box application and force users to reinstall on whatever basis you deem appropriate.
Some providers may also allow you to revoke the managed app config which will force Box for EMM to log the user out.
At some point, however, you would have to push the managed app config back down to the device.

Add global setting where you can set folders on global level to sync to desktop
Currently have app that sets certain folders for offline access but would like to do that within Box as a global setting to set certain folders/files available for offline access.

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Ability to customize download policy thresholds
Currently the policy thresholds are automatically set by our algorithms, and the policy is triggered on a per minute rate basis and one hour time window. This has caused alert fatigue for the customer because so many notifications are generated every few minutes based on these thresholds that they aren't able to update or customize.
9 votesWe will be looking at how to reduce the noise but it might not be through enabling customization.
