  2. Improve to view the status of tasks

    As users are currently able to view by icons whether or not shared link is on files and files are locked at a glance in the "file list" view, we would like to view if tasks are done or not at a glance

  3. Admin Console insights for Daily Active Users, Monthly Active Users and Power Users

    We would like to see insights for users in Admin Console like the Box Customer Success Manager visualizes. For example,
    - Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User
    - % of Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User versus Deployed Users
    - Who are Power Users

  4. Add a 'description' for folder and files at the top of the page, just below the folder/file name.

    A description of the folder at the top of the page will save time for our users, stakeholders and team members. It can be used as a way to describe what a user can expect to find in a given folder; and if this option extends in all sub-folders and files, it can help save a lot of time, bandwidth, and storage.

    The following format example will work well:

    Account name > Project name > Research files

    In this folder, you will find data about the project research and all the research files that are available. For any information on…

  5. Extend Box Notifications and Tasks to systems of engagement

    Provide a framework that enables Box partners to extend Box notifications and tasks to their systems of engagement. For example, when content in Box is shared with a Space in Webex, users should be altered via Webex of any updates, changes, comments (including annotations), tasks applied to the respective shared content.

  6. Nested folders

    With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:

    Collections:
    Project1-folder1
    Project1-folder2
    Project1-folder3
    Project2-folder1

    I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.

    Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive too.

  7. Documents within Folders

    It would be helpful to have the ability to highlight all documents in a folder (the file names) and paste into Excel to evaluate. If this is already possible please send me instructions jill.hall@lennar.com

  8. My folder has disappeared on 25th Feb

    For some reason my folder called "NewCo spin-off" has disappeared on 25th of Feb. I talked with IBM support for 2 hours, the girl said that she will raise a ticket but she didn't. Below is the chat. Can you please investigate this issue - why did it happen? People were using it and all of them ask me where the data is.

    Advisor [Kathlyn]
    Hi, thanks for contacting Win10 support in Beijing, This is Kathlyn, Please allow me few moments to read over your inquiry and create a support ticket for you.

  9. 2fa

    Title: 2FA – Session Level NOT Machine Level

    Category: 2FA

    Idea:

    After enabling 2FA:

    Steps followed:

    Quit Safari (v14.0.3) (Cmd+Q)

    Launch Safari

    Navigate to account.box.com/login

    Login without 2FA (2FA enabled)

    As a separate test, I also removed my Safari session from Box security, quit Safari (Cmd+Q), opened Safari and was able to login without a 2FA credential.

    When a user removes an active session (or saved login location), any new login attempts should be seen as a new computer, and thus prompt for the credentials setup by the user logging in.

    I was able to get Box to prompt for…

  10. Delete the history of "Inbox" and "Recent Notes" in Box Note.

    Delete the history of "Inbox" and "Recent Notes" in Box Note.

    You cannot delete the history of "Inbox" and "Recent Notes" in Box Note.
    It is not necessary to display Notes that are no longer relevant to the user or that they no longer need to access.

    By deleting the history, only the Notes that are relevant to you will be displayed, which will improve the efficiency of your work in Box Note.


    Box Noteの「受信トレイ」と「最近のノート」の履歴を削除する。

    ボックスノートの「受信箱」と「最近使ったノート」の履歴を削除することはできません。
    ユーザーに関係のないノートや、ユーザーがアクセスする必要がなくなったノートを表示する必要はありません。

    履歴を削除することで、自分に関係のあるノートだけが表示されるようになり、Box Noteでの作業効率が向上します。

  11. restrict by file type at folder level

    Would like the ability to restrict File Types at the folder level, (with Waterfall rule would be ok, but ability to break waterfall would be a bonus).
    Currently we use Quarantine Policies to restrict .msg files in Box, but does not allow us to make exceptions by folder. (eg. to allow certain departments this ability, but block from others).

  13. Password Protect Folders Designated as "Invited People Only" Collaborators

    I would like to add passwords to folders that are tagged as "Invited People Only" to increase the level of security on the content. I would like to create a folder that is shared only with invited people, and also add a password for the folder to ensure content is as secure as possible, e.g., pre-lease earnings reports, HR terminations, pending litigation, etc.

  14. We are unable to respond when Geodetection alerts are triggered. Would greatly appreciate ability to prevent access.

    We have had a # of Geodetection alerts from users with unexpected IP addresses accessing shared links. Currently, we are unable to block these users, so we can only remove files after the fact. Our security team is requesting an ability to prevent this access (potentially with an ability for admins to override and allow the access).

  15. Edit thumbnails

    We would like the ability to choose/change the thumbnail of an MP4 file. The random thumbnail
    of my latest project shows our guest speaker in an awkward manner. We don't want her to be hesitant to share it! We offer a library of MP4s and consider thumbnail modification an esthetic/branding opportunity.

  16. High Security Permissions Risk with Box Teams Integration on Private Channels that gets Box folder Auto-Created

    Box support needs to address this error immediately.

    Currently, Teams Private Channels are not supposed to have the ability to add the Box app. The behavior we've seen is that if the private channel already exists prior to adding the Box app to the Teams group, the Box app gets added to that private channel as well where it auto creates a Box folder. It works if private channel is added after Box app has been added to the Teams group.

    The response I got from Box support is that they are planning to eventually integrate the Box app in…

  17. Specify how date is displayed within the dynamic naming feature in Relay

    For non US customers... Specify how date is displayed within the dynamic naming feature in Relay. For example, 02/24/2021 vs 24/02/2021

  18. Reporting function for file size and type by folder

    A reporting function for file size and type by folder, including a breakdown of this information for enclosed folders, per-folder.

    For example, we are interested in the space taken (per-folder and by file type) for a body of data in Box, but the aggregate of these folders has roughly 1.1 million files and takes 3.5TB of space. We would like to see a breakdown such that we could see, for example, that of the 3.5TB, XX% is PDF, pictures, music, movies, MS documents, etc., as well as the size of each enclosed folder.

    I started running a "Files and Folders"…

  19. Azure groups - not modifiable

    The azure managed groups should not be modifiable from BOX, as this brings inconsistency in what azure says, as well as brings clutter.

    My example:

    If you have group 1 in azure, replicated in box group 1, you should not be able to modify box group 1 in box, it should be blocked.

    This is already the case in tools like Atlassian, where synced groups from AD are non modifiable.

    This brings security breaches, as, in the admin user console, when you search a user, all the access that he has been given by azure groups, do not apear in…
