  1. Add and more events into a same flow in relay

    When You build a flow in relay, You don't have the possibility to add another event into this same flow as a result. This might help if You need to repeat a part of the flow (similar as a loop).

  2. Direct Links for files on Box Drive

    We have Excel files that reference each other that we moved from local drives to Box Drive. The links change to whatever box folder we move them to, but the path is listed as "C:\users\username\filename"... etc. We need these links to reference the actual Box URL so that other people who have access to the file can still get the updated reference.

  3. Ability to set a legal hold on multiple users in one operation

    would like to be able to set a legal hold on multiple users (400 users) in one operation. The reason behind why is that “it would be a huge time saver for organizations that have lots of users to be able to add them all to a legal hold or other governance policy at once rather than one at a time. If there were a master distribution group such as “all users” that could be used instead of having to start typing each user’s name one by one that would do the trick.”

  5. Print in Preview Mode when using web-based Box

    It would be a game changer if Box added in the ability to print documents directly from the preview view while using the browser version of Box. It is very time consuming and labor intensive to have to open each document in their native application to print them. If we could instead print documents directly from the preview mode in the browser, it would make things much easier.

  6. possibility to call another relay automation

    I made a scenario with relay and I would like to use it into another instead of creating again and again same flows. So it would be nice to get the possibility to combine different scenarios as sub-scenarios (like procedures in a program).

    As part of paid Relay, you can set various metadata values to trigger different aspects of the process.

  7. Export owned and collaborated files & folder tree by user

    When exporting user’s Files & Folder tree, it only shows the users owned folders. It should show all the content the user has in their account, including collaborated folders. even after selecting a specific user.

  9. Able to get Box user ID by querying the username

    Hi, currently in order to find a box user id for ONE user, we need to use
    https://developer.box.com/reference#get-all-users-in-an-enterprise
    to get ALL users and then filter for the specific user.

    If would be nice if we can simply query a user's box user id by the username.

    There is an optional parameter called `filter_term` which can be used to retrieve a user on the basis of the name or login. See link below and a snippet from the dev docs.
    https://developer.box.com/reference/get-users/#param-filter_term

    `filter_term`
    Limits the results to only users who’s name or login start with the search term.

    For externally managed users, the search term needs to completely match the in order to find the user, and it will only return one user at a time.

  14. Ability to mirror documents in other root folders

    Our organization utilizes the collaboration with external users to give them access to view one specific folder relative to their client account. We do not want these users to have access to our main folder that houses the original documents for their client account, but rather only this one specific folder that has a copy of selected documents relative to their positions on the Board. Right now, we have to manually upload or delete new documents to both folders. If there is a change to our original document, we have to manually upload the new version to the copy folder…

    Hello, if we understand your request correctly, you could use the bookmark feature to bookmark a link to specific files so the Board will always be routed to the up-to-date version of the original document but not be able to view the rest of the items in the main folder.

  15. Allow users to invite collaborators from Box Drive

    Users have the ability today in Box Drive to ‘Manage Collaborators’ via the right click menu of a file. When selected, this will cross-launch to the manage collaborator page on the Box.com web application.

  16. Auto-Update Drive so there is no end user interaction needed

    We have 15000 users and trying to manage manual updates for Drive is tedious and often painful.

    Box Drive will silently update without user interaction if an update is available when the user launches Box Drive (such as after they reboot their machine)

  17. File folder tree report needed for potential security breach

    Scenario: Employees have improperly stored data in box.com by marking data as public that should not have been labeled in such a manner. The data is sufficiently sensitive that the company would like to quantify and evaluate what has been labeled in such a way to make the data public.

  20. Clarification of SDK Authentication

    It would be really nice if there was a good clean copy of the authentication methods script. The pieces and parts don't work and it is hard to figure out why. Example... Trying to authenticate with OAuth2 you can't get it to work with the examples and then jumping over to upload files doesn't jive. Aside from the Dev Token method, I can't get anything to work. HOW DO I AUTHENTICATE WITH OAUTH2?
