  1. Ability to Remove Collaborator Expiration via web app or API

    Collaborator expiration was turned on for a short period of time now we only have the option of extending the date the collaborator will be removed. The user would like this removed completely even though I can set the to expire in the distant future. The only other resolution is to remove and re-add those collaborators. So it would be great to have a feature where the admin/owner/co-owner could not only extend but remove the expiration on the folder.

  2. Skills that are configured to fire on 'All content in your company' in the enterprise should fire when I copy a folder with content

    We have a skill that is configured to fire on 'All content in your company' in the enterprise, but when I copy a folder with content the skills is not triggered. Skills only trigger at the file level, not on files within a folder that are moved.

  3. Apptec

    We use an EMM called Apptec360 to manage our mobile devices. It would be nice if this can be supported by Box for EMM.

  4. Option for condensed/compact UI

    Please consider an option for a condensed Web UI (similar concept to Gmail's cozy/compact): smaller icons, less white space, options to eliminate interface elements like the sidebar. It would be nice to be able to fit more information (filenames, file lists, etc.) on the screen.

  5. Remove shares no longer available after the owner was deactivated

    We deactivated one user who retired. The folders he owned disappeared in Box Web for the shared users but they didn't disappear in Box drive, so users could still create files which were not saved in Box.
    Could deactivated shares be updated very quickly in Box Drive to avoid that behavior please?

  10. Set enterprise settings via api

    We have an open risk item on the Box platform due to lack of controls on change management.
    Specifically:
    Box console settings must be manually performed across dev, test and production environments.
    Lack of automated mechanisms to maintain consistency with the settings across the environments may allow weaknesses in lower environments (dev/test) to be exploited to exfiltrate data or modify data or inconsistencies between functionality tested in lower environments and what is configured in prod.
    We would like the ability to be able to configure the settings via API so we can build environment management into out CICD pipeline. We…

    We are not planning to bring API endpoint for settings update, as many settings require manual input after asynchronous data aquisition outside of Box.

  11. Add functionality to downloads report

    Box can output "when", "who" and "started the download" from reports.
    However, the user is requesting us to add the function which shows "when" and "who" and "finished the download" on the report.

  12. Extend expiration dates to be shown in their user activity reports

    For external collaborations, it shows the date the collaboration is going to end when it's first set in the user activity to report as
    -Action: Collaboration expiration
    -Details: To: YYYY-MM-DD

    However when you extend this period, the "To: YYYY-MM-DD" isn't displayed so you don't know until when it's extended until unless you go the individual folder/file itself and look at the "clock" mark manually.
    In the report
    -Action: Extend collaborator expiration
    -Details: [Blank]

    The customer wants to have a grasp of each expiration dates so they're saying looking at each item manually on Box is impractical.
    They would like the…

  13. API: "email_alias" Is it possible to register other than the same domain?

    API: "email_alias" Is it possible to register other than the same domain?

    At this time, if you disable it until the email address is confirmed with
    the same specifications as when registering from the UI,
    I think that you can prevent misuse.

    Example)
    Suppose a customer wants to give a user two email addresses in different
    domains before the company integrates.

    This specification allows administrators to bulk register using
    the API without user effort.

  14. Allow configuration of permissions to apply and change each classification created

    To apply or change a classification, select "Owners/co-owners and editors" in the classification settings, and then click Users with editorial privileges or higher can apply and change the classifications.
    However, by implementing a feature that allows configuration of permissions to apply and change each classification created, the Security can be enhanced.

  15. Improve overall support response times

    Overall support response times for Box standard support have been terrible as of late. I understand that most staff are working from home but this does not justify >3 day response times on tickets where functionality within your products is broken and is hindering productivity.

    Did you fire half of your support staff?

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have escalated your support ticket.

  16. Box for Office - Access to Collections

    Now that we can organise our files in Box using Collections, it would be good to be able to access this functionality in the Office Apps. This is 'mainly' relevant to the Outlook Box add-in that comes as part of Box for Office for when you want to save to Box or insert from Box.
    Excel/Word/PowerPoint - I would argue that the best experience is opening from Edge/Chrome using Box Edit.

  17. Remember the folder location for your flow on folder picker component

    Once you built your workflow, sometimes you want to doublecheck folder location for your flow.
    When folder structure is deep, the path is not visible on your flow, so you click the folder picker but it will navigate you to a root folder instead of the folder you selected.
    It will be helpful if it has an option to go to the selected folder location for the flow rather than root folder.

  19. Menu Bar resizing

    The new menu bar is larger in width in the new UI when the size of the window is large enough to expand it. It would be nice to either have the "hamburger" menu button available all the time to shrink it, or the option to resize the column to what ever length chosen.
