  1. I want when I share a folder link that the preview file order is in the same order for everybody

    Right now, when I send a folder people get it in totally different orders based on their box settings, how do I change this?

  3. Tables - need change the background color

    I think the table need to be change background color. Background color can use to make table header or important table cell.

  4. Need to be able to view group members before adding to a folder

    Would be great to be able to see members of a group prior to adding them to a folder. At the moment, even those groups which are listed as being viewable by anyone in the company can't be viewed until AFTER they are added to a folder, unless someone is a group admin. It means that either someone has to contact an admin to be sure they have the right group, or they have to add the group and then check right away to make sure they added the right one.

  5. Drive and Sync

    It should be impossible to have both Box Drive & Box Sync installed and working on the same machine. An install of one should automatically be impossible until the other is removed from the machine.

  6. DLP

    When copying content from Box Drive to an external volume, Sophos DLP is unable to capture information about this event.

    According to the Sophos team, this is a result of Box Drive relying on a legacy file system filter driver, CBFS.

    It is suggested that Box update Box Drive to work with Windows file system minifilter drivers as opposed to CBFS. That way DLP could monitor and capture these events.

    Statement from Microsoft regarding legacy file system drivers as opposed to minifilter drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/blocking-file-system-filter-drivers

  7. We would like the ability to put a specific Matadata as our home page.

    We would like the ability to select certain Matadata as our home page. This would allow for us to really customize our home page to our specific needs and the ability to adjust it easily, vs using the favorites.

  8. Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users.

    Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users. We use classifications and access policies for specific domain whitelisting. We currently do not allow external collaboration with personal webmail domains for obvious reasons. But some departments like recruiting would need to share content with personal webmail domains. We would like to create a classification/access policy combo that permits this but is ONLY visible to specified users/groups. Thinking of a option like how you can whitelist relay and other features for certain users. Have that same option with classifications. That way the whole org can't use that classification just…

  9. Send in-app notification for failed bulk move/copy.

    Box Notification on account (not email notification) for failed moves.

    When copying or moving a large numbers of files, sometimes those moves fail.

    We would like to be notified about files that failed to copy or move

  10. Ability to find a file or folder using just the ID.

    Is Box working on an easier tool to lookup files and folders based off of ID?

    I'd like to suggest a box tool where we can find the file and folder using just the ID. Having to run a 40+ min report on all of our files and folders anytime a user asks is very time consuming. I get 5+ requests a day.

  11. Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors for Owner/Co-Owner and Editor

    Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors.
    Share for Owner/ Co-Owner and Editor also includes the ability to Invite

    Share for Viewer Uploader and Viewer only allows you to share a link to people in the folder. So essentially they can only ’share’ with people it has already been share with.

    I’d like to see either:

    • Add Invite as a descriptor for Owner, Co-Owner and Editor > I like Invite as it is explicit OR
    • Change Share to Share Link to Viewer and Viewer Uploader > still a little confusing because you can’t really share w/ anyone that does not already…

  12. Create new permission level to allow sharing without destructive privileges

    Create new permissions levels in Box to provide more flexibility:

    Permissions/ Roles (ie. Editor, Viewer, etc.):

    There is no ability to add someone to a folder and allow them to Invite other persons without giving them destructive permissions > Edit and Delete (Editor Role) >

    Viewer Inviter (not sure I like the name, but it goes well w/ the previous request) > Upload, download, preview and Invite

    This would allow the user to invite others, but not have destructive permissions. I could actually make two new roles and change Viewer Uploader:

    Editor Lite > Upload, download, preview, invite, share and…

  13. Synchronize changes between Box Edit and Box Drive for Excel

    The file which is referred from external, if we edit , save download and upload, we need to save original Excel from Box Edit. The customer does not want to open Edit only for this.

    For example, there are two excel ExcelA and ExcelB. Excel B is referring the data from ExcelA.

    ExcelA was created via Box Drive and ExcelB was from Box Edit.

    If Excel A was modified, then open ExcelB, but the modification is not reflected to ExcelB.

  14. Change the background color when selecting collaborator in @mention function

    We would like to request to change the background color when selecting collaborator in @mention function

    When searching for collaborators using @mention function and when the target collaborator has been selected, the background color becomes "light grey" and it is hard to tell if it is already selected.

  16. Report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    We would like to be able to automatically mark a user on Box as inactive. Also, would like to see a report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    One example would be the below:

    I'll give you an example - we have integrated our AD with Adobe, so that when a user is disabled in AD, their Adobe product licenses are also automatically removed and therefore available to use for the new users. We add users to security groups in AD to assign the licenses. When the Adobe connector pulls the user data…

  17. Allow the ability to save a set of parameters to routinely run the same report

    It would be very helpful to be able to save a set of parameters to use to run the same report over and over with different date ranges/on different days.

  18. Display pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started

    Please display a pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started (or in other words, users are able to open contents).

    We own a lot of content - this makes Box Drive take a long time checking the updated contents and starting up.
    This is causing delays of Box Drive being launched.
    If a notification pops up when Box Drive is ready to start accessing contents, users would not have to check the status of Box Drive so frequently.
    Instead, they could work on other things while waiting for Box Drive to start.

  19. Block end user password reset for SSO users

    In our environment, we enforce SSO, however users can still go into their user settings to reset their password and change the password. My understanding is that this password is only usable for FTP access, but it is confusing for users and we do not use the FTP functionality. Block end user password reset for SSO users

  20. Add an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.

    Could you please consider adding an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.

    We found Box for EMM does not include any identifier like "Box for EMM" in its User-Agent when doing authentication with MAM checked-in. We just only allow access that "Box for EMM" includes in User-Agent. Therefore, ADFS cannot determine whether an application is Box for EMM or not and the user is unable to access from Box for EMM.
