  2. show file name in Version History

    Some files with autosave create new versions every couple of minutes (2 hours in a Keynote = 238 Versions). It is necessary to be able to view filename in the Version History sidebar, not just in the preview pane. It is impossible otherwise to determine which file I'm looking for just by looking at version numbers.

  3. Run User Activity Report with API

    We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
    Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
    Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

  4. Behavior when searching for and specifying a user name by using the suggestion function in Japanese

    If a user wants to email the user with a shared link URL or folder sharing when using Box, and then tries to search using the name of the Box account in Japanese, the cursor must be moved to another location after the first one has been specified. I would like you to eliminate this unnecessary cursor movement and make it possible to search by user name continuously.

    corresponding operation in the box
    ① Click the "Send Shared Link" icon.
    ② Enter "山田" in Japanese ⇒ Several candidates appear.
    ③ Candidate confirmed.
    ④ Next, for example, enter "佐藤" ⇒ no…

  5. About the scope of expiration notice to co-owners.

    Currently the expiration of the invited user to a folder is notified to the owner and co-owner of the folder,
    however, any co-owner cannot receive the expiration of the invitee of its child folder while owner receives all the expiration notification.

    We would like to request to cascade the scope of co-owner's privilege to its child folders so that the co-owner of the parent folder can receive all the expiration notification of the descendant folders.

  6. make it easier to find space used and space available.

    Provide access to space used and space available at the Box taskbar icon, rather than having to get into account settings.

  7. PCI Compliance

    As a user in an industry which must be PCI compliant,
    I want content flagged by Shield as containing PCI content to not be included in the full-text search index,
    So that our Box environment can be PCI compliant without having to disable full text search for the entire environment.

  8. Add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.

    When we preview the file, on the right side of the screen, in the Activity column, we will see "Add Task".
    However, there are times when we don't want our users to use the task feature.
    Please add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
    For example, it would be nice if we could disable the task function in the folder settings.

    ファイルをプレビューした際、画面右側、アクティビティのカラムに「タスクの追加」とあります。
    しかし、タスク機能をユーザーに利用させたくないことがあります。
    「タスクの追加」を表示しないようにする設定を追加してください。
    たとえば、フォルダの設定でタスク機能を無効にするなどできると嬉しいです。

  9. I would like to change the thumbnail/preview image for videos to a specific keyframe. You can do this in most video hosting platforms.

    I would like to set custom thumbnails/preview images for videos. We should be able to set it as a specific keyframe or even a custom image. You can already do this on Youtube, Vimeo etc.

  11. I want to name or add descriptions to the different versions of a file

    I have some documents with hundreds of versions. Right now, though, the only versions I would ever refer to are those uploaded in the past few weeks, when I remember the changes made and have context for why the file was updated. Looking back on new versions a year ago, I have no way of knowing what changes were made, what versions were major changes and what were marginal. The ability to preview prior versions is nice, but without the ability to review changes to the text, I would spend hours trying to understand what was different about a prior…

  12. search filenames using leading wildcards

    Box.com should allow search for filenames of the files that Box creates due to conflicts. The beginning of the filename is unknown but filename ends in email.address@company.com.

    Currently, Box.com cannot find all filenames ending in email.address@company.com.

    So there is no way to find the files that Box itself has created due to conflicts. We have tens of files scattered on our server that Box created due to network anomalies, and no way to serach for them and reconcile them.

  14. Show the number of bytes in the "size" column along with the number of files

    The web app currently has "Name", "Uploaded", and "Size" columns.
    Currently, the "Size" column shows the number of files.
    In addition to the number of files, we'd like to see the size of the file (i.e. how many bytes).
    Could you show the number of bytes in the "size" column along with the number of files?

    ウェブアプリには現在、「名前」「アップロード済み」「サイズ」の欄があります。
    現在、「サイズ」欄にはファイル数が表示されています。
    ファイル数に加えて、ファイルのサイズ(つまり何バイトか)を表示して欲しいと考えています。
    ファイルの数と一緒に「サイズ」欄にバイト数を表示してもらえませんか?

  15. secondary domain

    Add the ability to resolve a second or multiple number of subdomains to one box instance.
    ie; companymain.app.box.com AND companytwo.app.box.com would both resolve to one managed instance. This would be useful for using shared links and having a drodown or option to use a different subdomain for either a department or umbrella organization housing data for various organizations.

  16. The "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.

    We'd like to see the "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.
    If possible, we'd like this setting to be able to be done by folder from "Folder Settings".

    We are confident that this feature will expand the use of Box even further.

    「ファイルリクエスト」機能を管理対象ユーザーだけでなく、外部ユーザーも利用できるように利用可否の選択肢を広げて欲しい。
    可能であれば、この設定は「フォルダ設定」からフォルダ単位で行えるようにして欲しい。

    この機能があればBoxの利用の幅がさらに広がると思います。

  17. Notify or provide options on password protected files in Automated Classification

    When running automated classification, files containing passwords will not be checked for PII information. This means they are potentially at risk of getting shared externally. There should be options to classify them if they are password protected or it should have the option of alerting.

  19. New Files take 10 minutes to appear in the search (Content Explorer)

    It takes ~10 minutes for a newly added file to appear in the search of the Content Explorer UI Element. In the meantime, if you attempt to search for that file based on the name, it displays no results, making it look like a bug. It can take even longer if the servers are busy (it took ~20 minutes for a file I uploaded to appear in a search one time)

    Please look for ways to reduce the turnaround on this. A suggestion: the file should be available to search by name right away, if it takes ~10 minutes to…

  20. Printing Annotations Attached to Box Notes

    Currently annotations do not appear when a BOX Note is printed. It would be helpful if the option to print the the annotations was given as a setting.
