  1. To have shared file Information field open to public (non-logged) viewers

    Hello, I would like to suggest that Information field of public file shares are shown without requiring login. I believe that both the class of utility that particular field offers to visiting viewers as well as the practical aspect of having to log-in in order to view that text is not realistic and should be open to public viewers.

  2. Easier way to create a bookmark in Box from shared link generation

    Bookmark takes too many steps even when saving a Box's shared link. It should be easier to create a bookmark of a shared Link from adoption perspective.

    As-Is: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Copy the link 3. Move to folder where I want to save a bookmark 4. Create Bookmark and paste&name the link

    To-Be: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Prepare a prompt (probably in the shared Link generation popup) and select "Create Bookmark" and user can select folder they would like to save the link in within the same prompt 3. Save the bookmark (without actually moving…

  3. Do not delete option

    Id like to be able to designate certain folders in Box Sync that could only be deleted by going to the server and not from a local Box Sync folder on the computer to avoid possible accidental deletion of important folders or files.

  5. Allow me to stop Box Drive without hiding the Box contents

    If I stop Box Drive (right click on the icon and choose exit), the Box folder disappears, even though I've marked all folders for available offline.

    I sometimes am in a location with a very low data cap, and the costs for exceeding the quota are very steep. If I store a file in Box from another device, when my computer connects and Box Drive is running, then it will attempt to sync and download any files.

    On my old Windows 10 computer, I didn't have this issue. The Box folder stayed around, and I could even add files to…

  6. Supporting Text Format in Box for Outlook

    Currently, Box for Outlook is only available in HTML format, which is the only format supported by Outlook and OWA.
    Some companies make only plain text available.
    In this case, Box for Outlook cannot be used, so please make sure that the text format is also available.

    For companies that only use OWA, Box for Outlook is a great way to share data on Box.
    This is expected to improve work efficiency.

    (日本語)
    現在、Box for OutlookはOutlookおよびOWAでサポートされている形式はHTML形式のみです。
    企業によってはプレーンテキストのみを利用可能としています。
    この場合、Box for Outlookが利用できないため、テキスト形式も利用できるようにしてください。

    OWAのみを利用している企業にとって、Box上のデータを共有する手段の一つであるBox for Outlookは非常に最適です。
    これによって作業効率化が期待できます。

  7. Ability to hide the name of the user who uploaded the document./資料をアップロードしたユーザーの名前を非表示にする機能

    Please make it possible to hide the name of the user who uploaded the folder or file.
    We would like to be able to customize each folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the name of the user who uploaded it.

    (In Japanese)
    フォルダやファイルをアップロードしたユーザーの名前を非表示にする事ができるような機能を作ってほしい。
    フォルダ単位などで所有者及び共同所有者以外はアップロードをしたユーザーの名前が見えないといったようなカスタマイズができるようにしてほしい。

  9. Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)

    Hi,
    it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.

    If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.

    Best regards,

  10. Disable full-text search for a subset of Box content

    Suggest adding the ability to disable full-text search for only a subset of Box content versus just enterprise-wide.

  11. Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.

    Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
    Thanks

  12. Have sync centralised in cloud and automatically sync between website and computers

    Keep the concept in Box Sync where you choose what folders you want to sync on Box.com or via Box Drive on computer. Then Box.com and all computers using Box Drive should sync those folders. I don't understand why we currently use "Make Available Offline" feature to individualise syncing for each computer instead for all computers of same account.

    Also, documentation says you lose these offline files once you log out of Box Drive. That's a pain if you have to redo choosing which folders to make available offline.

    Overall, sync like in Box Sync is a more desirable feature…

  13. I want to make it so that access statistics for operations by administrators are not left behind (stealth).

    【Current Specifications】

    1. Log in to the target user as a proxy and access the site.
      → The operation by the administrator is recorded as the access statistics of the proxy-logged user.

    2. Access from the "Contents" function of the management console.
      → The operation by the administrator is recorded as the access statistics of the administrator.

    【background】

    When a user deviates from the organization's rules (service rules, security rules, etc.) in the use of Box, a case is envisioned in which the administrator wants to view or download files owned by the user concerned as evidence of the deviation.
    If access…

  15. Option to not leave the data on the device

    If the user presses the + button and selects "Take photos or videos" and encounters an upload error when uploading the photos or videos taken, those files are automatically saved in the device's library.
    Since the data remaining on the device poses a security risk, you need an option to not leave the data on the device in the application settings.

  16. + button should be disabled with "Restrict content creation"

    Users belonging to tenant with "Restrict content creation - Only admins can create and delete first-level folders, files, and bookmarks" setting enabled can see "+" button for adding content on their root folder screen of Box for iOS mobile app.
    They can operate through "+" button, but it fails due to the restriction.

    The customer believe that "+" button should be grayed out if this restriction is in effect.
    The customer wants the same to happen because "+" button is grayed out in the folder that the user is accessing with VIEWER privilege.

  17. Allow Excel Formulas to Link Directly to Files on Box

    Currently, when you open Excel on Desktop, it creates a temporary file on your own computer. When trying to connect one report to another through formulas, this results in the formula looking for the report on your desktop instead of the location the report is saved on Box. In order for the formula to update properly, you need to have both reports open at the same time.

  18. Set default branding experience for File Request Links

    In an effort to become "Enterprise Grade" and set certain UI preferences as the default, it would be nice if there was a way to have the enterprise UI settings (logo, color, etc) set as the default user experience when creating a new File Request link rather than having to set that manually. This would also help with consistency across the user created links when making them for external facing entities, reducing confusion for third parties.

  20. Report or visibility into folders set up to receive emails and upload files to Box

    It would be super helpful to know as an Admin any folders that are set up to accept emails and upload files to box folders. There is no report or visibility in this. As cyber attacks increase, we need to verify and make sure we know all of our external facing components - not knowing what folders has this component is a concern we have.
