  1. "Recents" feature - Feedback

    There is a box notification above "Updates" page that states the following:
    "Box has decided to end of life (EOL) the Updates feature on August 31, 2022. As an alternative to Updates, please use Recents to access content you have recently interacted with."

    As "Recents" feature does not offer any information about other users' interaction in shared files and folders (comments, uploads, views, etc) and, additionally, the notification system does not work for most of these instances (comments without tagging, uploading, etc) or does not work well enough (many times there is no notification or it is well delayed), this…

  2. Box Shutdowns down early during shutdown, so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted

    This problem plagues me onace a week or so. When Windows 10 is shutting down, Box Drive shutdowns down early before Windows asks to save opened changed docs - so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted. I end up having to save locally, reboot, then put the file into Box, then shutdown a second time. Painful, especially at the end of the day.
    Proposal - work with Microsoft on a way to delay the Box shutdown point - until after the cancel shutdown message occurs...

  3. Ability to specify items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the user activity report.

    It seems that the specification is also intended to check the movement of items before and after they are moved to the recycle bin, but I would like you to be able to specify the items that have been moved to the recycle bin when outputting the report.

    Currently, it is a specification that can not be searched if it is moved to the trash box when the item name is surely grasped.
    Items cannot be specified in the target folder and file items.

    If it can be specified at the time of reporting even if it has been moved…

  5. Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files

    When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
    However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
    (After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)

    Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

    (日本語)
    <フォルダ名・ファイル名の変更時にサポートされていない文字を入力するとエラーを表示させる>

    現在、フォルダやファイル作成時にBoxでサポートされてるUnicodeの基本多言語面 (BMP)以外の文字を入力するとエラーが表示されます。
    しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
    (変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)

    サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。

  6. Large Folder Operation email notification when the operation is finished

    I would like to have the user and admin to receive an email notification once the large folder operation (LFO) is finished so that each counterpart knows when the operation is finished.

    We have already made sure that the Content remains available to all the collaborators during a Transfer & Delete LFO. We are working on ways to do the same with other forms of LFO. We believe this approach will be a much better productivity accelerator for our customers.


    For the purposes of this request to allow for email notification, this still remains in our roadmap to evaluate what would be the remaining use cases that will required an email to be sent.

  7. Ability to conduct e-discovery investigations without being noticed by the User

    When investigating a lawsuit or security incident, we sometime want to do so without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.

    In such case, Box admin login to the target account 'as user' from admin console. But under current specification, the target user can know this admin's activities in the 'Access Stats' and Activities in Box UI.

    So I want Box to enhance the function that admin or co-admin can login as user and investigate without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.

  9. Box Shield - Internal users on lists

    Would like the ability to add internal users in addition to external collaborators to Shield lists. Right now we can only apply the Shield access controls to external collaborators outside our EID. We would like the lists to be able to b applied to our internal users as well to create policies around specific users and groups. Would provide much needed guardrails for the business groups inside our instance

  10. I want to switch pages by swiping pdf or powerpoint on iPad even when in the middle of filling in annotations.

    Sometimes I want to see the other page of pdf when I am in the middle of filling in annotation. However, the current behavior of Box's annotation, you need to save the annotation to move to the other page of pdf or powerpoint.

  11. Want to have an option to skip the "Save" button

    Every time a user finishes writing, the user needs to click Save button. As it is not intuitive and effective so it should be the same UX as iPad's markup (Apple's standard annotation)

  12. To enhance trash for users who had an access to contents to be able to see them in it

    Currently, only owner of deleted content or user who deletes content can see them in Trash. It would be helpful if deleted contents in trash can be seen by all of users who had collaborator permissions (e.g. above previewer).
    This is needed because when a user deletes contents (accidentally), the "non-owner" collaborators have a difficulty of knowing what happens on contents. For some enterprises, content owner is typically a service account so every time this happens we need to find the "culprit" or connect to IT who can access as owner, which is very painful.

  20. Allow me to set default sorting to alphabetical anywhere

    Please, pretty please — allow me to set default sort of folder contents to alphabetical within a folder, for any folder. Should be an option under Settings for the folder.

    I have folders numbered for steps in a publication process, and I have to click "Name" every single *#$% time I display the folder list because it defaults to most recent. I may need to access any step in the process at any point in time; recent is USELESS to me. This is sooooo cognitively draining because I am touching dozens to 100s of files a day.

    Note: this is…
