  1. zip file decompression function

    Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
    We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
    It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.

  2. Button in the Admin Console to remove the existing 2FA without logging in as that User

    We currently have to search for the user in the admin console, log in as them, go to their personal settings, remove their existing method, then return to the admin console. If there was a button in the admin console to remove the existing 2FA without logging in as that person, it would be really handy

  3. Worflow Starter should be the assigner of tasks instead of the creator/owner of Relay Workflow.

    A relay workflow is created by one owner but used by several people. Since all the tasks are assigned by the workflow owner rather than the workflow starter, its confusing for assignees. E-mail and task notifications should show the workflow starter's name instead of the owner of workflow.

  4. 【Box Relay】About email notifications for approval requests

    Relayにて承認タスクを割り当てた際にメッセージ欄に関連する資料のURLを記載して依頼を行っている
    現状リンクが有効になっておらず、関連資料を確認する手間が発生している
    必要な資料をすぐに確認できるよう通知メールから記載されているURLにアクセスできるように通知メールのURLリンクを有効化してほしい

    When assigning an approval task on Relay, the request is made by writing the URL of the related document in the message field.
    Currently the links are not valid and it takes time to check related materials.
    I would like you to enable the URL link in the notification email so that you can access the URL listed in the notification email so that you can quickly check the necessary materials.

  5. 【Box Relay】About approval rejection

    Relayにて承認依頼を拒否した場合、理由を記載できるようコメント欄を追加してほしい
    現状、理由を記載する箇所がないため別途コメントのメンションやメールにて連絡する必要があり二度手間となっているため

    If Relay rejects an approval request, please add a comment field to write the reason.
    Currently, there is no place to write the reason, so you have to contact us via a separate comment mention or email, which is a hassle.

  6. Add TeX as a supported file type

    Much of my lab's documentation is written in LaTeX, or even vanilla TeX.
    It would be incredibly useful to have .tex in the list of recognized
    file types so that they can be displayed and/or edited in the browser
    client.

  7. Add new Variables to Box Relay for Naming

    In Box Relay, I find the additional variables in the Naming of Folders and Files, such as the Trigger Date, to be very helpful. However, I would like to suggest including a new variable that would reference "Workflow Starter".

    Workflow Starter variable could potentially include:

    • User's email
    • User's Last and First name
    • User's Box ID

    By incorporating this variable, I would be able to effectively organize incoming files into folders named after the user who uploaded them.

    Thank you!

  8. Large user lists don't load in Box Shuttle and there is no way to filter or narrow scope

    Build an option to filter on specific source user groups or OU's before trying to generate or load the user list.

    Current behavior: Admin account is authenticated and user list is not able to load/populate because there are too many users on the source side.

  10. have ability to create share link within templates tab

    Like the idea of templates for Sign but as templates get created, it would be great to be able to generate a shared link that would go directly to a template I want a collaborator to see or use versus using the search or manually looking at all the Sign templates. Ideally this share link creation happens from the templates tab as this is the most intuitive when reviewing templates

  11. Notify users when a folder-path download will exceed 256 characters

    When a user downloads a folder-path that exceeds the Windows 256 character limit, alongside the standard folder structure, Box creates a “_” folder and to hold the files with a Box shortened folder paths, so it can work-around the over-long file-paths. Since Box doesn’t tell the user what to expect, they think that the download is missing files and isn’t functioning correctly.

    To address user confusion, we want Box to add alerts about the folder and file path name limits in three places:

    1. When a user creates a folder name for the first time,
    2. When a user downloads an affected…

  12. Make external folders more obvious in Box Drive and Box Web

    Currently internal and external folders are comingled in Box. Although collections can help organise data in the web app, for those who predominantly use Box Drive this could potentially lead to a DLP issue, particularly where the internal and external folders have nearly identical names. In both Box Drive and Box Web it would be great to be able to choose your own colour coding for these folders e.g. anything external showing red, or the ability to group all of your external folders under one main EXTERNAL folder.

  13. Secure admin only download of 'malicious' files for analysis

    Admins should be able to download Box Shield tagged malware without marking the file safe for everyone. That way a security admin could download the file and scan it with their own security tools. That’s the only real way to diagnose if a file is malicious or just a false positive.

    Asking us to mark it safe by chatting with the user is far from best practice

  14. Lock files when editing them from a shared link that all users can edit.すべてのユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクからファイル編集を行う際にファイルをロックをする。

    When editing from a shared link that can be edited by a user who does not have editing or access permissions, the file is not locked when starting the edit.
    Therefore, when saving files on Box, duplicate files with the same name are created.
    To avoid this behavior, I would like to be able to lock files even if users do not have editing privileges.

    (日本語)
    編集権限およびアクセス権限を持たないユーザーが編集可能な共有リンクから編集する際に編集開始時にファイルにロックがかけられません。
    したがって、Box上にファイルを保存する際に重複して同一の名前のファイルが作成される動作となります。
    この動作を避けるため、編集権限を持たないユーザーでもファイルロックをかけられるようにして欲しいです。

  15. email MFA with FTP

    FTP only supports SMS MFA, this is a very restricting security setting, and quite frankly is a bad idea.

    PER BOX'S OWN DOCUMENTATION ( https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697154-Multi-Factor-Authentication-Set-Up-for-Your-Account):

    "SMS may not be available because a user is traveling, offline, or in a country that does not support 2FA through SMS."

    AS WELL AS:

    "There are known SMS security vulnerabilities, such as SIM swapping."

    Please allow us to use AT LEAST email MFA when uploading/downloading via FTP.

  18. Version history - ability to see what has changed since the last version

    Ability to see what has changed since the previous version on Box web - highlighting key differences or changes to the document. Also the ability to compare 2 specific versions side by side as you can in SharePoint to see what has changed.

  19. Automatic Size All Columns to Fit for Box Drive

    It would be great if all columns in the box drive could be automatically expanded so that file names are not cut off. This feature is available in another product that we used.

  20. Ability to see who locked a file

    identify who locked a file within Box Drive. If there is a file locked, it would be helpful to show the collaborator who has locked the file.
