UAR
When running a UAR from Admin Console, I think it would be very helpful if either on row 1, or perhaps in its own sheet of the resulting excel report, to include a summary or quick SQL-type list of what parameters were used to run that report. This would cut down back and forth in some cases on troubleshooting whether the person who generated the report did or did not include the correct date range, actions, User/Content IDs, etc, to resolve these issues quicker.

select default name for auto uploads from mobile
When images are uploaded from my phone to Box, they are named IMG_12345.JPG. I'd like to have the date in the file name (this is the setting for Sync.com uploads, and if I recall correctly last I used it, Dropbox.com).
Ideally, users would be able to choose their desired naming structure but datetime would still be a big improvement over a sequential number.
Thanks,
Jase1 voteHello,

VTiger does not have an integration with Box.com
We are planning to use VTiger, a CRM software, but realise that it does not integrate with Box.com. Are there any plans to change that? Other wise we need to switch to Google Drive or Drop box. Thanks

annotate
When adding an annotation to a file, it would be nice to make it a once stop annotate and enable the person that i am @ mentioning to annotate the file and not require the owner to first extend the file through permissions, then go annotate. Annotation should be one process for sharing and extending annotation.

Get rid of the "Hello" lets get started box
Turn of the " Hello" lets get started box or have away to turn it OFF. It is hard enough seeing what you need on the limited screen space. Very annoying

I want to display the same date and time as the original file when I preview the file.
Please fix the following issues in the preview, which are also noted as known limitations:.
[Excerpt from the article]
Excel preview does not follow time information in the original file. When previewing Excel documents in Box, the time-related functions (for example, TODAY() or TIME()) do not display accurately. This is because Excel date/time functions are dynamic, while the previewed document is static. Box preview obtains and displays the date the file was previewed. A static version of the time/date is displays in the previewed document, based on the time the preview was generated.reference article

Insights map uses wrong geoip database
We have noticed that the map displayed on the insights page does not use the same information the report attached to the map does. On the map we see connections to countries that are not in the report.
This massively reduces the value of the map and has raised multiple security alerts, as we see connections from countries on our "forbidden list" that we cannot explain with the report.
Lack of correct information is removing trust in the overall solution in our security department. This should be fixed soon.

Ability to set an expiry date for external collaborators
It would be very helpful to secure access to our files if we were able to set an expiry date when inviting external collaborators to a folder. It seems the only option is to share a link with an expiry date, but that leaves it open for the link to be sent to others and doesn't help if a collaborator needs wider access permissions, or just flag it up as a reminder in our Outlook calendars!

”Box Edit” ”logs”
About the addition of the automatic log deletion function of Box Edit
I understood that the current maximum value for log storage is as follows
（現在のログ保存の最大値は以下のようになっていると理解しています。）・Box Edit log: 5 files with a maximum of 5MB per day
・Local Com Server Log: 5 files of up to 5MB per day
・Upgrade Service Log: 10 files with a maximum of 10MB per dayAlthough there is an upper limit per day, the Box Edit logs will continue to accumulate forever.
We are concerned that if we use the system for a long period of time, the storage capacity will keep increasing…7 votes -
Allow group administrators of SSO-enabled tenants to change the email addresses of group members
According to the information provided by following link,
group administrators are authorised to change the email addresses of managed users.*

In the case of tenants using SSO,
only the administrator and co-administrator can change a managed user's email address.In this case, the group administrator cannot change the email address of the group member.
However, in a tenant with a very large number of users,
it is very difficult for the administrator/co-administrator to complete all the…2 votes -

Watermarking feature turns document to a PDF and loses all formatting
Currently the watermarking feature turns the selected document to a PDF, therefore losing all formatting from the original application. In excel the document loses all formatting features, including tabs, etc. Watermarking should not lose the formatting of the original document - and/or allow for watermarking feature to only be used when downloading and not in the view features.

Watermarking only for downloads
Watermarking in the Box view is intrusive. Allow for water marking feature to be marked as an option for downloaded materials only.

Ability to open password protected files from mobile devices
Until a few weeks ago, password protected files could be opened through the mobile app from a mobile device. Now the attempt to open a password protected file results in an error of "Decryption failed. (null). Password protected files cannot be opened from mobile device from m.box.com or www.box.com either (error is different). Seems to defeat purpose of cloud based storage since so many users depend on a mobile device to open view files from Box storage.

"inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage
FEATURE IDEA:
Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.BENEFITS & BACKGROUND
During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).
Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or…

Feeds and tasks in the carousel.
I want to see feeds, tasks and notifications in the carousel instead of opening feeds, not pop-ups or email notifications.
By doing so, the user can notice it quickly.
However, the current carousel has few display items in the first place.1 vote -
About the shared link in the browser URL field.
About the shared link in the browser URL field.
I would like the displayed shared link address to be selectable below.
・Display up to the file or folder ID
・ Display ID and shared linkIf the shared link is also displayed, the collaborator will not be able to access the shared link when the shared link expires. If the display is up to the ID, the collaborator will have permanent access.

Allow Marking Folders as "Move Locked" To Prevent Users From Moving Certain Folders Regardless Of Permissions
Our admins are constantly dealing with users who accidentally drag and drop folders into other folders. This can have a big impact across our org, especially when a high level folder that's shared across the company is moved. Here's a common use case:
We have a top level Projects folder. That folder contains a subfolder for every organization we do business with. Those Organization folders then contain subfolders for individual projects. We'd like to be able to mark the Organization level folders as Move Locked so that our users don't accidentally move folders from one Organization into another. This happens…
49 votesThank you for the suggestion. Box currently offers the ability to lock folders using the folder lock API - https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/
We do not have a feature on our roadmap to expose this functionality from Box Drive. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!
