  1. Rollup secret for OAuth2 with client credentials.

    Please provide a way to update client_secret without any custom app service impact.
    With the current interface, issuing a new secret invalidates the previous one.
    Periodic updating of secret is a security best practice, but this is not possible with client credentials.

  2. Message template aligned with Sign template

    Ability to have message templates aligned with the Sign templates. Modifications to send messages are done per message, even if template is set-up. 

    template needs to be on each document

    Example:  Please Sign xyz document, does not populate from document name.

  3. Display in Sign interface reason why for declined signature requests

    When a document is declined, the reason why it was declined is only available in one e-mail.
    It should be available on the document as well as in the web interface. I could put a comment on the document (why I wanted to reject it), and in the Reject field, but only the reason in the reject field was kept and only available in the e-mail that was received. After that, in Box SIgn, you see that the document was declined, but you d'ont know why. That is a huge limitation.

  4. External collaboration Allow list per group

    We would like to limit the external collaboration to allowed domains for a specific group not the entire tenant.
    This is useful when the subsidiary company, especially a financial company, can have a limited external collaboration for security reason.

  5. Rewind a folder

    Dropbox had an incredibly useful feature called "rewind", where you could rewind the entire contents of a particular folder back to a certain point in time. This has saved our company on numerous occasions. Box should look into adding this feature since there isn't a way to preview different versions of a folder (only a file). Could save customers from huge headaches of losing files within a folder.

  6. Admin-level alert notification on certain Box Drive permission errors

    Users can create folders in Box Drive at the root level. In a closed folder taxonomy, the folder does not sync and fails with permission and/or problem item errors. If a user does not address the notification (or notifications are disabled), users can continue to create content in the unsynced folders. Icon overlays are also not reliable, so this will not be discovered until the content is lost due to hardware failure or software/OS reload. Consider alerting admins of these issues via the event stream or Shield-type alerts to prevent data loss, or disabling the creation of folders this way.

  7. Improve performance of co-authoring in Box Drive

    It takes 5 minutes or more for Box Drive to show co-authored changes. Even if that change is done by just one person. Basically , if a change is made by someone on a file and he closes the file, the file is not updated for about 5 minutes. When attached right away to a email, the attachment will still have the previous version.

    These may be reflected in documents once opened, however, cannot be seen in the Box Drive window. The 'last updated' date and time does not reflect when a document has co-authored saved changes.

    This is extremely…

  8. When importing documents they should keep the date of the document, NOT the date they were uploaded.

    When all my documents and files were imported into Box back in the beginning, they all got the same date. That has been horrible to work with. Many documents have similar names but I could always look at the date and know that the more recent one was probably the one I was looking for. But now, I have to look through each document to see if it is the one I want.

    Of course, once I have worked on it, it now has today's date and I can tell my newer documents. But now, even after being on Box…

    Box Sign via Text/SMS is not under consideration for the future 2024 roadmap due to other priorities and effort. 

    Please continue upvoting the request, we will review this request again next year. 

  11. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

  13. Automated File renaming (at scale) - Programmatic creation of workflows

    When a file is moved to any folder called “#Archive”, the file should be renamed with a prefix of “OLD_”

    For example: I have a file called “mywordfile.docx” I now want to archive this file, so I drag it into a folder call “#Archive”. Box Automation should then rename my file to “OLD_mywordfille.docx”

    Problem statement
    The box automation trigger “when file moved to folder” requires an explicit folder path. Meaning I would need to configure a rule per “#Archive” folder within our folder structure. We have many. So, manually setting up relay for every single #Archive folder is not a…

  14. Ability to select users outside the tenant in the user filter of the user activity report.

    Currently, when retrieving activities of non-tenant users, it is necessary to output all without filtering and then select the target data in Grep.
    Our tenants have a large number of users, and if all the data were to be output, it would be a huge amount of data, and the above process would take a lot of time.
    I think that selecting users outside of tenants will reduce our work time and improve convenience, so I would really like to see this happen.

    現在は、テナント外ユーザーのアクティビティを取得する場合は、フィルタをかけずにすべてを出力してからGrepで対象データを選定する必要があります。
    我々のテナントはユーザー数が多く、すべてのデータを対象として出力すると膨大なデータになり上記作業に多くの時間がかかります。
    テナント外のユーザーを選択することで、こちらの作業時間が短縮し利便性の向上に繋がると思うので是非実現してほしい。

  15. Add a feature to include all recipients in the fully executed copy notification and to attached a fully executed copy in PDF. Currently it

    Please add a feature to include all recipients in the fully executed copy notification and to attached a fully executed copy in PDF. Currently it's confusing, since the signers and cc recipients gets directly a copy of the fully executed copy, but there's no way for the signers to determine who gets a fully executed copy, which adds to the confusion. This is very useful for viewing executed pdf from a mobile device (no need to signin to Box sign app which is cumbersome esp when SSO and MFA is enabled)

    Citrix RightSignatture has this feature and it's really useful.

  16. Syncing files and having them download to devices automatically

    Create a setting in Box Drive so that files, once updated, automatically sync and download to all devices for use offline. Now, we have to designate each folder for "use offline." Why not have a setting that allows us to make that the default (so it functions like Box Sync)? As it now stands, I'd have to know in advance which files I might use on a flight, if I'm traveling with a different computer. That's a pain.

  18. Expose workflow APIs to track progress of individual workflows

    Today when querying for active workflows, the Box workflow API returns only workflow templates and not the actual workflow instances that each user initiates. As a relay user initiating a workflow based on a manual start trigger at the same time as other users I want to be able to query the workflow API to obtain information about a specific workflow instance, this feature will allow a user to get real time information on the status of each active workflow and not just the template. Without the ability to track the status of workflows in a granular fashion multi-step workflows…

  19. Notifications not sent when Viewer downloads watermarked file

    Notifications do not get sent when a Viewer downloads a watermarked file.

    I understand that the notification engine is getting replaced/upgraded, and I hope this gets fixed in the next generation.

    This function is important to Enterprise users trying to keep track of downloads by low-permissions users.

  20. The BoxShield "Sign Request Restrictions" feature should be improved so that signature PDF and Log files can be generated.

     In the BoxShield "Restrict BoxSign Requests" function, by selecting Access Policy > Security Control > Restrict External Collaboration > [Existing and New External Collaboration], signatures can be made, but no signature PDF or Log file is generated.
     Please improve so that signature PDF and Log files can be generated normally when signing.

     BoxShield「BoxSignリクエストの制限」機能にて、アクセスポリシー>セキュリティコントロール>外部コラボレーションの制限>[既存および新規の外部コラボレーション]選択によって、署名はできるが署名PDF・Logファイルは生成されない。
     署名した際に、普通に署名PDFおよびLogファイルが生成できるよう改善してほしい。
