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

Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.
It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.
Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.
30 votesThanks for the suggestion. Please continue to post use cases and feedback, to help us prioritize for a future release.

Periodic replication of Sandbox environment with Production settings/folder structure
As we become more complex with usage of Box, we maintain Sandbox environments and are using it to test Governance Policies, integrations, and more.
Other SaaS providers (e.g., Workday) will push a replication of Configuration Settings (with an option for the customer to not replicate) from the Production to Sandbox environment. This helps keep the two in sync.
It would also be enormously beneficial if the folder structure and dummy users (not content) could be replicated into the sandbox environment for a better sense of how changes will affect Production.
15 votesWe are planning to bring gradually mirroring of Production/Parent EID setting, content and metadata templates to Sandboxes. This is planned as a incremental development across FY27 and FY28.

Report on Folder Security settings changes
Would like changes to Folder Security settings to show in the Event stream and in Usage Logs. Since all Owners and Co-Owners of folders have access to these configurations, this is crucial to tracking changes to the security of sensitive content.

Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.
We would like to be able to custom color code their folders.
26 votesWe will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

Admin report or interface showing exactly where in a given file the Upload Policy was violated.
We are leveraging the Policies engine to create Upload Policies to detect and prevent PII from being uploaded into Box. When the upload policy exception is triggered, we would like to see a report or somewhere on the screen exactly where in the document the file violated the policy.
Ideally, by knowing what exactly triggered the policy, we would then use the 'Mark as False Positive' feature in the Content Manager Quarantine location to improve the Policy Engine's accuracy accordingly.

Email Notifications for Expiring External Collaborators
In addition to the owner of the folder receiving a notification that a collaboration is expiring, the user who initiated (invited) the collaborator, and the collaborator themselves receive notifications.
15 votesWhile we like this idea, it is not currently planned at this time.

Remove external collaborator after certain period of inactivity
We invite many external collaborators onto projects and it is tedious to remove them after projects end. Setting a global "remove external collaborator" time period does not always work because some projects last much longer than others.
Request:Ability to set a "remove collaborator if inactive within Domain for x time"
18 votesThank you for the use case! Because there are a few ways to remove collaborators, it is unlikely we will prioritize this in our roadmap.

Manage Quarantine Programmatically (via API)
There is no way to manage the quarantine process programmatically. As a result, we must individually release / delete quarantined files via the UI.
Given that the policies have a tendency to generate false positives, this process becomes very time consuming and difficult to manage and requires valuable IT time to click buttons (often for hours).
At our scale, and since we opt to use DLP policies, it's impossible to manage.
10 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Prevent users from creating accounts with "/" or "\" in the username
When users delete and transfer content in Box, a new folder will be created in the new users folder with a users username if that username include a / or \ if will throw and error. To prevent this from happening, please add restrictions in the username to prevent new accounts from being created with "/" or "\"

Support Embedded Audio/Video when Previewing PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) Files
Presentations sometimes have embedded audio/video, and when viewing the file in Box Preview, these embedded media components do not render/play.
This request is to allow this embedding to be rendered and exposed in Box Preview.

'Email Shared Link' - Add Reporting for the Recipient (Who the shared links were sent to)
When sending shared link emails (via the Shared Link modal -> Email Shared Link option) we do not report on who we sent the email to.
REQUEST: In the UI and Excel exports, add information on who the shared link email was sent to.

Folder-Level Sync Controls: Restrict External Collaborators from Syncing a Folder
We disable the Sync usage for our employees for security reasons. However , there is no method to disable Sync usage for external collaborator for the collaborated folders.

Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails
We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing
If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.
1 voteThank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Allow admins greater control of Box Edit upgrade process
When Box Edit automatically upgrades upon the release of a new version, there is no way for Admins to stop it and then allow the update at a more optimal time. This can be very troubling for companies with large deployment with the .MSI.
After installation or an upgrade, a user needs to either manually launch Box Edit.exe and Box Local Com Service.exe or log out of their user account and log back in to get the processes running.
At a large scale, this just is not practical and causes a lot of confusion for users and admins alike.
