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…

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.

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.1 vote -
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

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.

Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms
Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.

Unify nomenclature for permission levels between mobile and web clients
We've noticed that the same feature is called differently in Desktop-browser, iOS app and Android app
Specifically the link type 'Invited people only' is called 'People in this folder' in iOS (which I actually like better) and 'People in this file and folder' in Android
Can you pass this feedback onto the product team? I don't think it makes sense to be inconsistent between the platforms

Universally apply multiple templates to a file
Universal metadata fields:
Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
A metadata template can be applied, but within…7 votes -
Allow bulk actions to be interrupted (such as copy/move/restore/delete)
When users copy / move / restore / delete a large number of items, we want them to be able to cancel if they notice a mistake along the way.
Currently, when processing a large number of items in Box, we need to wait until the process is completed even if we notice a mistake.
When processing large numbers of items, processing may require several days.
During that time, folders and files are locked.
Please make it possible to interrupt the process on the way.72 votesDue to higher priority initiatives, this has been deprioritized.

Box Tools - Excel as default application for CSV and XLS
We would like Box Edit to have Excel as the default application for all excel files, including CSV.
Right now we run into an issue with CSV files where it is necessary to perform an operation to copy and then paste to Excel from Notepad. (Since opening CSV files might cause garble due to a character code (UTF-8), we are opening Notepad first and then open Excel files)
Another workaround would be editing the registry which is risky and inconvenient - which is why we would like Edit to automatically open CSV with Excel as the default62 votesWe don’t plan to implement this exception in Box Tools. However, we’re working on a related solution: the ability to open files in Finder/Explorer via Box Drive, where you can then choose to open them with a different app. Stay tuned for updates.

Get a list of all collaborators for a box folder
I want to get a CSV file with all collaborators for a box folder. The fields should be the same as on the Collaborators page. This needs to be available for end users - not just for box administrators. I need this so I can copy the internet IDs from one folder and add them as collaborators on a different folder. Doing this single name at a time is not practical.

I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails.
I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails. I used to receive emails but I don't anymore. Why did that change??
