  1. Add a Box eSign workflow as the final step of a Relay contract review workflow

    On Box Relay, can Box Sign directly integrate with a contract review Relay workflow? The idea here is that they want to create a workflow that reminds legal that they have things needed to be reviewed? (I.E. legal is getting a ton of requests, some things are being forgotten)

  2. File recipient splash page - download link is hard to locate, sign-up link is prominent.

    It is confusing to clients that receive files from us in Box, that do not need them to have an account, when the link points to a splash screen that displays a prominent green 'Go To My Account' button in the top right corner. Below the button is the download link, but it is a nondescript grey down arrow without any text indicating that this is how to download. Many clients are confused and we get callbacks about not being able to download or log in. Please change it so the download link is at the top and is labeled…

  3. Allow inheritance in folder structure

    Windows allows for folders to enable or disable inheritance from Parent folder to Child folders. This is needed in BOX so collaborators who don't need access or shouldn't have access to certain Child folders within a Parent folder can still navigate where access is needed and not expose sensitive data.

  4. allow opening of Recent Files in Microsoft app, not just the browser

    In "Recent Files" clicking on the three horizontal dots/ellipsis/meatball menu allows you to open Microsoft files in the browser, but not in the app. It'd be nice if you could just open in the app from the Recent Files section. Thanks.

  5. 2FA - Option to select SMS or Email as opposed to both

    Hi all,

    We would like to have the option to select SMS as a 2FA method without having to have email as an option.

    Back in April last year Box introduced the option to have email as a 2FA Method. Unfortunately we can’t have Authenticator app and SMS but no email as a setting. Either it’s Authenticator app only or we have to enable emails too.

    On productions we go for the Authenticator app as that’s the most secure option, but one of our subsidiaries would like to give the option for SMS too.

    Enabling emails is a major security…

  6. Please improve the tasks upper limit 20,000.

    The following page says "Maximum number of Tasks per user: 20,000" and we know that if the number exceeds 20,000 tasks will no longer appear in the Tasks Inbox as an example.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695954-Adding-Comments-and-Tasks

    Please remove the upper limit or change it so that users can continue to use the Task after 20,000 without loss of convenience.

    下記のページに「ユーザーごとのタスクの最大数は20,000です。」とあり、20,000件を超えるとタスクの受信トレイにタスクが表示されなくなることを私たちは知っています。
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360043695954-コメントとタスクの追加

    上限を失くす等、2万件を超えてもユーザーの利便性が損なわれずにタスクを利用できるように変更をお願いします。

  7. Accuracy of recognizing flicks and swipes in mobile previews

    For example, when previewing an Excel sheet with large rows and columns, the Box mobile app preview may mistake the user's swipe for a flick and terminate the preview.
    We feel this happens more frequently than in the native Office mobile app.
    Please improve it to detect the difference between a swipe and a flick a little more accurately.

  9. Document Expiration Reminder Set up

  11. password reset scheduling during holidays

    I am writing to request consideration of scheduling password changes to avoid peak vacation times. As a citizen developer, I do not have a dedicated team to manage these changes and it can be difficult to find time to complete the updates while also taking time off for vacation.

    I understand the importance of regularly updating passwords for security purposes, but I believe that scheduling these updates during times when fewer people are likely to be on vacation would minimize disruptions and make it easier for everyone to stay on top of this important task.

  12. Enable us to tag folders with specific colors, to indicate whether they're populated or not.

    I would like to be able to tag folders (or choose their literal color, green red blue etc) to indicate whether or not they're complete, incomplete, populated, etc. My company often uses Box to sort invoices and W9 forms for contractors we hire on individual projects, and tracking down all that paperwork can be tedious. If I can, for example, color a folder Grey if it's empty, Yellow if it has an invoice but is missing a W9, and Green if it's fully populated, it'll save me the trouble of having to manually enter each folder and check.

  13. Ability to filter recent files by file extension

    It would be great to be able to filter files in the Recent Files section by extension, access date, etc. Currently you can't sort anything. My use case was easy. I knew I had access one Excel file one week before but couldn't remember the name nor the real date. instead of scrolling in the whole list, I could have selected "Excel / spreadsheet file" to see only these files for a faster search.

  16. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

    The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
    It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
    We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
    Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
    Please improve performance.

    「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

    Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
    操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
    Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000~2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
    上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
    性能改善をお願いします。

  17. Ability to preview contents of the files contained in the zip file

    Box can list all the folders and files contained in the zip file, however it doesn't allow us to preview the contents of each files contained in the zip file.
    We need to download the zip file to preview the contents.

    It would be better to have ability to preview the contents of the each files so that we can complete our work within Box.

  18. Improvements should be made so that folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled can be selected when selecting folders in Box Relay.

    When selecting folders in Box Relay, folders below the folders for which CAN VIEW PATH is enabled cannot be selected.
    The only current workaround is to disable CAN VIEW PATH or search for lower level folders in the folder search, which is inconvenient because many similar folders are picked up and it is necessary to open each folder one by one, so we would like to see an improvement so that lower level folders can be selected even from folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled.

    <CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダをBox Relayのフォルダを選択する際に選択できるように改善してほしい>
    Box Relayのフォルダを選択する際CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダの下層のフォルダが選択できません。
    現在の回避策としてはCAN VIEW PATHを無効化するかフォルダ検索で下層のフォルダを検索するしかなく、類似するフォルダが多数ピックアップされてしまい、一個一個フォルダを開く必要があり不便な状態のため、CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダからも下層のフォルダを選択できるよう改善してほしいです。

  19. Enable to see full file name on ipad (especially)

    Please enable to see full file name on iPad. We usually name a file long name containing project name and code in order to manage files easier by project. But if do so, we couldn't see full file name by using iPad since the view is similar to the web. This situation is worse for construction field and we hope it will change like moblie view(iPhone's view).
