  1. Add folder/file path to usage log reports

    Currently, the usage log report only shows the most recent folder that it lives within, and not the entire path.

  2. Support for Macro-enabled Files

    Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.

    Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

  4. Outlook: Add Ability to Save the Email Itself (the .msg file or a PDF of it), Not Just the Attachment

    There are use cases (given Box's retention capabilities) for users to save Outlook emails themselves (.msg files) to Box using Box for Office. The Box for Office integration currently only allows the user to 'Save Attachments to Box', which doesn't save the actual email itself.

    SPECIFIC REQUEST: Adjust the 'Save Attachments to Box' button/feature to include an option to save the email itself (as a PDF or the .msg file) to Box along with the attachment.

  5. Ability to change default collaborator level globally

    Customer is requesting the ability to change the default collaborator level upon adding a new collaborator. The default level is now Editor, but the customer wants to set the default to Viewer Uploader or something else to protect against provisioning too much access to users.

    Additionally, the customer wants to collaborate with many customers (external users) and would like to provision appropriate access to those users (preferably not Editor).

  6. Search - Add Microsoft Visio Files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) to the 'Full Text Search' Index

    Box already has in-file search ('full text search') on other Office file types (Word Docs, PowerPoint files, and Excel spreadsheets), so users expect that Visio files (which are part of the Office suite) would also be indexed by Box.

    REQUEST: Include contents of Visio files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) in Box's search index.

    Context - here's the externally-documented list of file types supported by Box's in-file ('full text search') feature: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Search-Overview-and-FAQs/ta-p/354#search_hdsiw

    Thanks for the feedback! We have and added this to our backlog. Due to low customer demand for these types, they are currently not prioritized on the roadmap.

  7. Automated Email Notifications Based on Metadata Values

    Provide the ability to set automated email notifications based on values entered into folder/file metadata.

    For example, 'send a reminder email to X people X days prior to the date entered in the 'lease expiration' metadata field on a file.

    We will do our best to support any operating system-level support for a stylus. But the demand for this is more rare, so it is Not Planned for our roadmap.

  9. Open Shared Link Controls: Only [specified roles in the folder] can create open links

    REQUEST: The ability for admins to choose which roles (Editor, Viewer Uploader, etc.) are able to create open ('people with the link') links in folder they're in.

    Currently, if you are a collaborator with permissions to create/edit a shared link, you can choose any of the 3 shared link permissions levels.

    ADMIN STORY: "I want to require that only Co-Owners in folders can create open shared links. Editors and below can create shared links, but they won't be able to chase the permission to 'people with the link."

    CONTEXT: Many large enterprises, and even smaller ones with a security focused…

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  11. Provide a Box Note Realtime API so we can create new Box Notes from our custom apps

    Our users would like to be able to create a new Box Note from their own custom app menu bar.

    This note would be saved in the folder from which they clicked the icon.

  13. Access Stats: Ability to get Access Stats programmatically per-file

    Provide an a file API endpoint to obtain Access stats similar to the functionality in the Webapp.

    Right now, we have to collect all the relevant events and do the math every time to get an accurate count. This complicates the application logic. Would be much easier to obtain the stats without having to calculate them on your own just like the UI does.

    For example having the ability to pass a field and get summary figures in the response. Having to create an event parser to do this is a high barrier to entry to get this type of…

  14. Bulk Edit - Add Ability to Change Primary Email Addresses

    Bulk Edit currently allows admins to change various settings for users, but it does not allow the admin to 'bulk edit' the primary email addresses for their users. This functionality would be handy in various scenarios, including when a company goes through an email domain change.

    Right now, customers must come to Box (Customer Success) to have us run scripts in Internal Admin to do bulk email changes as we do not have this feature natively in Bulk Edit within the Admin Console.

  15. Enable Self-Serve Creation of Metadata Templates by Non-Admins

    Customers would like a way to provide a sub-set of capabilities to their end-users to create metadata templates, without having to give them a co-admin level access to Box admin console.
