  1. Automatic Locking of Documents

    It would really help our productivity to have all documents automatically lock when a user opens the file, other users that then open the document at the same time are notified they are opening a read only version since the document is currently opened by "insert user name". The file would then automatically unlock when the original user exits the file. Very similar to how Microsoft handles this with shared drives.

  3. Limiting Box integration locations

    When creating a Box Integration - the ability to limit which folder(s) the integration appears in would be helpful. Some features are not applicable to all folders.

  4. Ability for variable dates in metadata templates

    When assigned a metadata template as a Relay outcome, customer would like to have the Date value be dynamic and reflect the date the template is assigned, vs the date the workflow was created. The idea is that each outcome would change the status field of the file, and they'd also like to capture the date the status was changed. Knowing the date the status changed would allow end users to search for content in a certain status, by date range.
    This functionality currently does not exist without asking the end user to manually update the date. Use case for…

  7. Collaboration List

    Users show up twice in Collaboration list if they invite with the following steps. Steps 1.Folder A -> Folder B 2.User A is collaborated on Folder B. 3.User B then adds User A as a collaborator on Folder A. 4.User A shows up twice in collaboration list. We would like Box to show up once in the scenario because it isn't easy to find properly permission when inviting many collaborator.

  8. Updates Feed - need filter mechanism and ability to go back months in time.

    The Updates feed (box.xxxxx/updates) needs a filter mechanism for date/time range, user(s) or even specific parent folder (any activity in or under the specified folder). We utilize box for customer downloads of updates, and need to see when/if they downloaded. Also need ability to specify time range going back at least 1 year.

  10. Custom Terms of Service - Prompting External users to accept terms after change to terms

    It has been noted that if the text of theCustom Terms of Service is changed for internal users, internal users are prompted to re-accept the new terms. However for external users, if the text of the terms is changed, the external users is not prompted to accept the new terms until they are invited to a new folder. Can the external users be prompted to accept the new terms once the text is changed?

  11. Conflict with the Adobe Photoshop short key (on Windows) Ctrl,Shift,Alt+B

    The short key combination (on Windows) Ctrl,Shift,Alt+B, overrules the Adobe Photoshop version of this combination by opening a Box search window. As I use this combination in Photoshop (to open the black/whit dialogue window) it is often quite annoying that even when working in Photoshop this combination doesn't work as intended. An option to have the possibility to change the short key combination (or another solution) in another would solve this problem. More so because I understand that checking all short keys that are in use in any program is impossible.

  13. The rename button needs to be on top and not blocked by subsequent columns

    Since a recent update, the rename button (being the pencil icon at the end of the item name) dissappears behind the subsequent columns. This means I can no longer just click on it to accurately name new items. This used to be always accessable and now I must go thr long wayt around to rename items - which is for every. single. item.
    Please correct this ASAP!

  14. Make it more obvious that there are multiple pages of documents

    Lists of files and folders may continue onto more than one page. Make the "2 of 2" at the bottom of the list very large and explicitly add a "See more" label next to the pagination. It is far too easy to not notice that there is more than one page of files, which leads to quality isssues.

  16. Indexing Box Drive Offline Files

    I have access to a number of folders that I don't need frequently (if at all), but I do have a select group of folders that I use daily, and I keep these stored as files available offline. I recently migrated from a computer that used Box Sync to a computer using Box Drive, and I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't search my offline files using the windows file explorer. Instead, I'm forced to use the Box Drive search window, which requires that I search ALL of my folders, which frustrates many of my directed searches.

  17. Set default permission to Previewer

    We would like the ability to set the default permission to Previewer. Most users are not changing the default permission we have setup when sharing. Being able to set the default permission to Previewer helps us manage security even better.

  18. Return character in Classification Definition

    Currently "Classification Definition" can be written with 'return character' in its input form. But when this "Classification Definition" is shown to the user, 'return character' is being ignored and is shown in one line.

    Definition needs to be shown in the same way it was written / configured, and also needs to be shown in several lines when required (e.g. written in multiple languages where each language's definition needs to be shown in each line, instead of all in single line).

  19. Bulk Shared Link Generation

    A user level ability to generate shared links in bulk in Box webapp. A little background, we are supplying images of our product to major dept stores (think Macy's, Dillards, Nordstrom, Kohl's, etc). These are the images they used to post our product on their web sites. We essentially have to fill out their forms with our product attributes with links to the image. We create 1000's of products annually, this my need to have a listing of all the links.

  20. Share folder as read-only/add folder to Box Drive from shared link

    Case:
    I receive the agenda and related documents for meetings within the department I work at as Shared Links to a folder in Box. I want to access these documents during the meeting directly through Box Drive on my computer. The desired access includes any documents added after I first opened the link. All related accounts are part of the same organisation/"Company" (in this case a university).

    Current situation:
    When I am signed into my Box account and open the link I can view the documents and have two options: "Save link" and "Download". The only way to get it…
