  1. Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)

    Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.

    No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)

    We don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

  2. Disable ability to use a secondary password

    We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.

    Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    This is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

  5. Usage Logs - Indefinite Timeframe for Retrieval (Extend Current 7 Year Limit)

    Currently Box Usage Logs are retained by Box for 7 years. Box customers can export up to 7 years worth of Usage Logs from the Box Admin Console.

    As a customer, I want that 7 year limit to be raised to 'indefinitely,' meaning we can pull Usage Logs for actions taken at any point in time, not just the past 7 years.

    REQUEST: Remove 7 year limit for Admin Console Usage Logs exports.

    Thank you for this suggestion! This is not currently planned for now. We will let you know if anything changes.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    Thank 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.

  8. Add Sort by 'Status' Option to Managed Users Page

    Add the ability to sort by user status (active, inactive, cannot edit & delete, cannot upload edit & delete) to the Managed User page in the Admin Console.

    We are re-designing the managed users page and will focus on adding advanced filtering of managed users by status as a follow up. Right now, releasing the re-design will be our first priority, so filtering by status is not on the near-term
    (6 month) roadmap. We will revisit this after we release the new page.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

    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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  17. 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.

    The 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.

  19. 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.
