  1. Default to 100% zoom out for 360 preview

    When you use 360 preview, it is zoomed in a little bit by default right after opening the file. We always have to zoom out to get the full picture. We would like the 360 preview not be zoomed in right after opening and have the preview start zoomed out.

  2. Update shared link expiration workflow is confusing

    The workflow to update the shared link expiration date on the mobile app is confusing and not intuitive.

    Here’s what I would have expected to happen:

    1. I get email in my inbox warning me that a file or folder that I own or collaborate on is expiring soon
    2. I click the link contained in the email
    3. I see a screen that gives me an option to extend the date or not
    4. I make an update or leave it as-is and confirm
    5. Done

    Instead here’s what actually happens

    1. I get email in my inbox warning me that a file or folder…

  3. @mention notifications should know when you @mention yourself

    Change messaging of @mention emails when @mentioning yourself. Currently it says “someone” @mentioned you, while it would make more sense to provide a response such as “you mentioned yourself in a comment.”

  5. Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions

    We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.

    But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

  7. Allow someone to customize their Feed to either follow or unfollow users. Sometimes I don't want to see everyones activity

    The Feed page gets so busy sometimes that I never bother really looking at it to make it useful. I would much rather prefer to follow only those users who are on my Team or in my Department. So, being able to "follow" users or groups seems more beneficial.

  8. Improve online Permissions integrations with Box Drive to local Applications (Excel)

    If a user is a "View only" collaborator in a folder on Box and they attempt to open a file with a program like Excel through Box Drive, they will receive an error message from Box Drive about not having permissions to save changes. This happens even if no changes are made, and the user is left with 'unsynced' files they must reconcile.

    In a similar experience on a "real NTFS" volume, Excel would display "Read-Only" beside the title of the file. No errors would be displayed unless the user attempted to actually save to the directory.

    Excel is not…

  10. Group permissions allowed using auto-start template with Box Relay

    Our use case requires that group permissions be allowed when using auto-start template with Box Relay. As of right now it only allows for a direct permissions to a folder before publishing the workflow.

    not planned  ·  varunparmar responded

    All enhancements and new features will be considered as part of the all new Relay planned for GA on June 26, 2019.

    New feature including group permissions will be evaluated post-GA.

  11. Preview embedded videos in PDFs

    We have a team that wants to embed videos in PDFs and have that render using Box’s previewer in the browser. The target audience will only be able to view these files in the browser and not download them.

  13. Toggle Recents between Modified and Viewed

    Recents can be more useful and efficient if you can view only files you have modified. As it is now, you see everything you viewed (including sometimes a ton of image files that got marked as viewed), and have to scroll through them to find files you have been working on. Modified would be great as the default, and then you could choose to see only those files you recently viewed.

  14. Ability to discern between your notes and notes shared with you on left menu.

    This would make finding your own notes easier and also help you easily know if a note was created by you or someone else. This would be a variation of the different colors of Box folders.

  15. I'd like to see the language in Box Notes match that in Box.

    I'd like to see the language in Box Notes match that in Box. For example, in Box Notes sharing is Get link and Invite people to edit. It would be nice if the same language was used to make learning easier. Also, It would be nice if the link dialog box was similar where you can click Copy, and also type in a person's name to send an invitation.

  16. Fix iOS Microsoft Office Security - No Pin Required

    If you have Box Mobile App installed and a Pin is enforced, your data is protected by pin every time you launch the app. If you install iOS Excel or Word and then sign into the application/authorize, anytime you launch word or Excel you are not prompted to sign in again and there is no passcode enforced on either of those apps. They have full access to all documents in your Box account. Box Device Trust and EMM will not enforce or protect this either and is easily bypassed since this is an Application Integration, you don't even need Box…

  17. Ability to block external invitations for collaboration

    We don't want users accepting any external invites to external company shares but we want them to be able to share folders with any company. Basically, we only ever want to be the folder owner.

    We have a rule that only we can create the folders and share them out but this sometimes is accidentally overlooked. In addition, Box does not have an option to "block outside collaborator invitations" only an option to completely turn off inbound/outbound sharing or white list domains.

  18. Folder-Level Collaborator Reporting: Ability to run a report of which internal and external collaborators are added to an item

    Users should be able to run a report of any folder they are an owner or co-owner of to see the list of external collaborators. This would be nice so they could periodically review it and remove stale collaborations.
