  1. Box Sign Completed Document Sent Via Email as attachments

    It would be great with Box Sign, if when a document is completed the email also includes a copy of the document, not just a link

  2. Box Sign - Make PDF form fields fillable

    Box Sign does not currently recognize embedded PDF form fields. You can add a text, date, checkbox, or signature field to a PDF document, but the original form fields are unavailable (but left intact).

    Use case: We ask our contractors to complete IRS W-9 forms using the standard IRS fillable PDF forms. If Box Sign could recognize the embedded fields in the IRS forms, our contractors could fill out, sign, and file the forms in one process. As it is, we will have to send them the fillable PDF form, ask them to fill it in and send it to…

  3. Move checked off items to the bottom of list

    It would be fantastic if you have a list in Box note, the items you mark as "complete" get moved to the bottom of the list.

  4. Feature that allows end users who are collaborating on a folder to see information about deleted items

    If someone accidentally deletes a folder or file, it needs to be recovered as soon as possible because it will be completely deleted within a certain period of time.
    However, by the time the end user realizes that the item has been deleted, it may already be too late and the item may have completely disappeared.

    The sooner the end user can confirm the information about the deletion, the sooner it can be dealt with.
    Reports should not be easily exported by end users, but should be able to be checked promptly by other means.

    Please add a feature that…

  5. Ability to get list of annotations through an API

    I would like to use API to get a list of annotations for a file.

    I can use the API to get comments on a file, but not the annotations.

    Could you please implement such an API?

    For example, something like this.

    (e.g.) [GET] https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/annotations/

  7. Ability to copy/duplicate files

    My local City sends out links to files that expire in 30 days or so.
    Currently I download those files, then upload them back to box,net.

    The "copy" feature for such links seems to copy the links, not create a safe local copy of the data.

  8. Smart Access: Allow move/copy even with download restriction

    Download restriction restricts external users (editor permission) from moving content within folders they have access to. There should be an option to restrict download but also allow for moving and copying within folders that have the classification policy because to an end user, this is not a download function.

  10. Bring back home directory "mountpoint" on the mac

    I don't know if it's just me, or some problem with the privacy etc settings that have been a moving target with OSX lately, but after my latest reboot on a fully updated MacBook I was greeted with a popup from Box Drive saying it is now fully MacOS 12 compatible, and lo and behold, my /Users/app/Box directory is gone. I can only access Box files from the Explorer, but not the command line. I never looked into what the Box drive was exactly, a link, a mountpoint, no idea, but I miss it badly.

  11. Share link disclosure range for images and file previews inserted in Boxnotes

    It is possible to insert images and share links in Boxnotes and set up file previews, but there are users who can access Boxnotes but cannot see the images or previews because they do not have access to them.
    However, users who insert links or images often don't realize that they are restricted because they can see the images or previews.

    When inserting images or previews into Boxnotes, I would like to see a warning that says "Other users may not be able to see this."
    Or a message saying "Would you like to adjust the publishing range of the…

  12. Update Email Format

    Allow formatting of the email. When received on an Outlook Exchange Email Server, the button and the "Review Document" phase are the same color. Also, the copy and paste link should wrap to fit the screen instead of running the entire long URL on one line. When it is all on one line, the signer has to search and scroll side to side to find the button.

  13. Add custom Box metadata to the data that Airtable can access through their integration

    The Airtable + Box integration is very interesting but today when you link a Box folder to Airtable it only pulls over basic FILE metadata and not any of the custom metadata that maybe attached to the file or folder. If Airtable could pull the custom metadata and use that in the data view we could easily create a Metadata View of the folder that would be very useful for cases like Contracts or DAM. Metadata views was something Box was planning on the roadmap and then went away. So many customers want a metadata view of a folder this…

  14. Email notifications based on saved search

    Provide the ability for a user to save an arbitrary search query (including the use of Metadata templates if applicable) and be notified of new content that arrives in a Box folder when it matches that saved search.

    This would immensely help our Box users be notified in real-time as we upload content that they are interested in. Otherwise, they have to periodically search the entire folder at some period of the day to find this new content of interest. Using the current notification capability that triggers on all uploads would be too much "noise" to the user; they need…

  17. Box Sign capability for Enterprises with restrictive shared link policy

    We are not able to initiate a signing request using existing content from our Box instance however, we can by choosing and uploading a file from our file system. Support is telling me that our organization's shared link setting of "Shared links can be accessed by: people in your company and people in this folder only" is causing this behavior and that Box Sign will not work unless we change it to "People with this link" Can the capability to use Box Sign with our current settings be enabled?

  18. Auto lock/unlock for read-only file.

    Currently, BoxDrive works with AutoLockUnlock=1 as below.

    1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is locked automatically.
    2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting is gone.

    Please improve as below.

    1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is not locked automatically.
    2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting keeps.

    Best,

  19. Transfer Workflow Ownership (not sending it as a template but as a workflow)

    Recently the workflow ownership transfer has been released.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402945686291-Transferring-Your-Workflow-to-Another-User

    However, this is to make the template of the workflow that is needed to be transferred.

    There is a need to transfer the actual workflow for below reasons:

    1. the new owner needs to check the past workflow activity but with the template it is not possible
    2. since it is a template, the new owner still needs to make the workflow

    Thank you for your consideration.

    We definitely want to address this use case (new owner sees past workflow activity) but do not have plans to address it in the near term. We will update when we have a firmer idea of when this can be tackled.

  20. Updates on the lock functionality after Save as

    I want the lock to come off properly after Save As.(BoxDrive)

    If you save a file to a folder in Box Drive using "Save As" in the Office app and then close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
    If I close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
    The lock is not automatically removed when the application is closed.

    After saving the file, other users are not able to edit the file, and this is interfering with my work. I would like to see this fixed.

    名前をつけて保存後にロックが正常に外れるようにして欲しい(BoxDrive)

    Officeアプリの「名前を付けて保存」でBox Driveのフォルダにファイルを保存し、
    すぐにアプリを閉じると、新しく作成されたファイルにロックが残ってしまいます。
    アプリを閉じても自動的には解除されません。
    保存後に他のユーザーがファイルを編集することが出来ず業務に支障をきたしているため
    修正をして欲しいです。
