Drive: More granular controls when designating a file as Marked for Offline
I tried to select particular folders to sync, but found that other folders that I had not selected were then trying to sync. I tried to stop them syncing, to find that then stopped the folders I was trying to sync. After going backwards and forwards a few times, Box Drive crashes.
I just want this feature to work as it should, syncing just the folders I want and leaving the rest as online access only.
What is happening is that when you click on a folder to select it and then mark it for offline, it is fine.

Add ethical walls to collaboration
We'd like to set up controls to prevent certain groups (like Investment Banking) from collaborating with users in a different group (Research).
8 votesThis is currently not planned. We are looking into restrictions that admins could set at this level, but there is nothing planned on the roadmap for this as of now.

File Checker
I would like my program to be able to access all .pdf files in a given folder, and read them to find and extract specific information on each .pdf document like scraping the text data in each of the .pdf fields. This data would then be used to compare to an excel spreadsheet.
This would essentially be a file checker. Making sure that the information entered on a .pdf file is the information that we have on a separate excel spreadsheet.
Thoughts?

User Activity report should have logs for “New version upload”
At present, it only shows as “Edit” and if a new version with a different name was uploaded on a file by mistake, the admin will not be able to find out what happened by searching for the file name.

Make source.parent.name to include all of path
source.parent.name show just folder name.
For example, if the collaborator folder is A and it lcates “All files/A”. the customer get api.box.com/2.0/events?streamtype=adminlo..,
source/parent/name just show A. This behavior make the user not to find the folder easily.
It should be shown “All files/A”2 votes -
Add Ability to Suppress Collaboration Emails via API
Hello
At Catalytic, we are deeply integrated with Box and 100% api driven. Currently when creating folders and adding collaborators via API, we are UNABLE to suppress the Box email notification.
This is causing confusions with our users as we are sending a Catalytic Branded email as well.
Please help

409
On a 409 Name Conflict exception, the response does not contain the ID of the group in conflict, requiring the use of another API call to get the ID of the group with that name. Typically we recommend trying to find the group first, if the group is likely to have been created, but in the instance it is not, then 2 calls are, once again, necessary.
We have also seen instances where the group name search is not returning a valid result, and the logic can never find, nor create the group, causing a critical failure in the logic.

Improve CORS whitelist wildcard support
I would love to be able to use wildcards in CORS with a little more specificity. In particular, for review apps on Heroku, you will have a url that is auto-generated for each pull request, so something like http://my-app-dev-pr-523.herokuapp.com. I would like to be able to add http://my-app-dev-pr*.herokuapp.com to the CORS list but it currently flags that is an improper URL so I have to do the much more broad (less secure) http://*.herokuapp.com

Automatically transfer files based on the file's last modified date
Desired: A tool that, based on last modified date, (automatically) transfers files to Box before or after a certain date.
Currently: Users have to manually sort files by last modified date and select files to transfer to Box. For automatic batch transfers from personal machines or file servers, users would have to use a time-based job scheduler tool in conjunction with an FTP client.

Use Box as governance layer for content outside Box
Ability for Box to function as federated content viewer (governance) - as some content will remain outside Box. Use Box as governance layer but not storage element.
4 votesWe do not plan to enable Box Governance as the federated policy layer across multiple systems at this time. However, it is possible to use the Governance APIs to enact this if you have another federating system.

Limit large files to desktop viewing only
Really large files should not be shown on mobile device and so we'd like to inhibit people from being able to see it.
Large files 100+ Gig, ‘rushes’ from ad shoots moved in disk, genomics files at academia,… must solve user experience issue with mobile/web – we want to be able to classify that content as desktop only.
5 votesThis is not on the roadmap for 2019, but is a great suggestion that we may look into in the future.

Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names
Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.
Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.
Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

customize permissions that preserve watermarking on downloaded content
High urgency request for the ability to customize permissions that preserve watermarking on downloaded content. Currently only “Viewers” preserve the watermark when downloading content.
We’d like to allow customers to customize the permissions that can preserve the watermark e.g. Editors, Co-Owners, Owners.
