  1. Logging in to Box from a shared link should not redirect to home

    With the current iteration of Box, when you follow a shared link while not logged in, the only way to log in is to click "Go to My Account" which directs you to your home page on your Box Account. This requires re-following the link again to get to the shared item as a logged in user. This adds several additional clicks to the simple task of following a shared link from an internal email regarding new comments on an item, for example.

    This was not the case in the past, where there was a "Log In to My Account"…

  3. Shortcut for creating code block

    It would be a great improvement to be able to create the code blocks while typing with keyboard shortcuts (or short-words). Quite standard across editors is for example the triple backtick (```).
    I see it already works for numbered lists (you just need to type "1. ") or quote by typing "> ".

  5. Collaboration Report - Add Last Accessed Column

    Box Admin frequently runs reports on all external collaborators who they work with and wants to remove external collaborators from files that they haven't accessed in awhile. Wants to be able to run a report that filters to all external collaborators and allows you to see the files that they are collaborated on AND the last date that they accessed those files. This will help the admin determine if an external collaborator can be removed from a file. The collaborator report allows you to do most of this. However, the Collaborator report is missing a "last accessed" column. The request…

  6. Edit User Access permissions - View Options Needed

    It would be great to see the following enhancements made to the Edit User Access permissions section of the User page; specifically the 'Select folders this user can access' section:
    1) Allow for columns to be Expanded to see the entire folder name
    2) Include a sort option to these columns in order to sort by folder name, owner, file size, or Access level.

  8. The version log on the right should make document type immediately evident

    When version history is displayed on the right, no indication of version type (docx or pdf) is given, other than the file size, from which an inference might be made. I told my co-workers I'm a "version nazi"--that is, I'm against starting a new Box document when we've finalized a Word document as a PDF. I want them to stack the PDF version(s) right on the old versions so that ALL versions of a specific document--whether docx or pdf--are in the same Box document. But to make this more palatable, it would help if a user could readily see file…

  9. Simple Search AND Advanced Search

    Box Search has its uses, but seems to be lacking a lot of basics I would have thought common. Given the wide ranging uses that customers seem to have, it makes sense to have more options opened up. More new Features are nice, but existing and frequently used Features like Search should really be refined.

    The Simple Search is definitely helpful for some, but it looks like a lot of people are not satisfied with its the current state. Sorting is lacking. Filters are lacking. Why not include an Advanced Search function which includes what numerous Users have been reporting…

  10. Folder-level "custom terms of service"

    Is it possible to only setup "Custom Terms of service" on specific sub-folders for external collaborators? Or is this setting only account-wide??

    Use case:

    We have a dataroom set up, and some external collaborators have problems accessing the "login custom terms of service" NDA and logging into Box. The notification emails from the system are often sent to their spam folder.

    We can send an NDA via the "e-sign" feature, but don't want our external collaborators to then have to accept it a 2nd time when they come to a (separate, for NDA e-signers) dataroom folders.

    Can we setup a…

  12. Selective Bulk Trash Restoration

    Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.

    The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.

    Example:
    Files below a specific…

  13. Folder setting: enable/disable file request

    Feature that allow owner/co-owner of folders to enable or disable file request in the folder setting.

    Currently, users can generate file request link in any folders with editor permissions. Some enterprise want to control (disable) usage of file request at the top-level folders depending on intended use.
    e.g. disable file request link in [internal-only] folder.

  14. Display actual user name instead of "Previous Collaborators"

    About the owner and last updater of files and folders on BOX. If you delete the owner's account, the owner will be displayed as "Previous Collaborators", but I would like you to leave the owner name without changing to this display. It is necessary to comply with the Japanese local electronic bookkeeping law. Please consider.

    BOX上のファイルやフォルダの所有者、最終更新者についてです。所有者のアカウントを削除すると所有者は「以前のコラボレータ」表示になりますが、この表示に変更せず所有者名を残していただきたいです。日本ローカルな電子帳簿法対応で必要です。ご検討ください。

  17. Default Black ink for E-signatures in Box Sign – as required by The Crown

    It is imperative for Police Services throughout the UK to use Black ink ONLY when signing signatures for lawful documentation. I understand that there may be a need for other businesses to use purple/blue/red ink, however, within the Police and throughout the judicial process, any other colour than black ink will be rejected, which will lead to increase time an Officer or Investigators spend on obtaining signatures and investigating crime. Therefore, we require black ink, at the very least to be the default colour for signees.

  18. Ability to to delete saved previous versions

    I am burning through storage because Box is saving every version of a file I am working on. There is currently no easy way to cut down and delete all previous versions of a file, and going through one by one is time consuming (and after I did, did not seem to decrease the folder size anyways). It would be awesome if there was a way to delete all previous versions of a file and only keep the most recent one.

  19. troublesome 'Saved' and 'What's New' button placement in Notes window

    The 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons in the bottom right corner of the Notes window are frustrating in their placement. As I write in Notes, these two buttons constantly obscure my text so that I need to stop typing and hit return several times to 'raise' my text in the Notes document away from those buttons . . . only to (several lines later) find myself in the same situation: the text I'm typing is hidden by the 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons. Surely there's a better way to display these buttons without obscuring where we type. Thank you.

  20. I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.

    In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"
