Ignore unreadable files in Box Sync.
The users environment causes Excel to create unreadable temporary files. Box Sync will not sync temporary files. However, not being able to read the file causes Box Sync to throw and error and quit. The user would prefer Box Sync to ignore unreadable files.

Open Shared Link Controls: Prevent Open Shared Folder Links without Disabling Company Folder Shared Links
Right now you can't disable Open folder links without disabling Company folder links. The native Box setting for this is too restrictive (prevents sharing folders internally other than via collaboration).
18 votesWe are currently focussed on bulk operations with managing Shared links.

Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Track Legal Hold events and notify certain users when these events occur
A Legal Hold report would help with this too. In looking at legal holds there's reporting for each hold but not a comprehensive report listing all hold activity
0 votesThis is unlikely to be something we build. Admins could accomplish this through the events stream or a tool like Splunk.
-
Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold
It would be really beneficial for the Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold (without making them an admin)
0 votesMost legal holds happen at the admin/legal team level, but I understand the request and will reconsider with additional customer use cases.

"Failed logins" on Enterprise Settings should clear the number of failed login when a user logins successfully
Currently, the number of failed login piles up even after a user logins successfully. It's strange, so it should be cleared when a user logins successfully.
1 voteThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature.

We encourage Kofax to build against our API to create this integration.

Create a group of previously created groups aka nested groups
We have a group of providers that we would like to make a larger super-group of the nested smaller groups instead of adding each individual user
30 votesAt this time, we are developing solutions for using groups to grant access to apps and enterprise settings. https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/36670615
Supporting nested groups may be a longer term vision that we consider after solving the first problem above.

"Save files to device" settings to separate for Box Capture
Currently, "Save files to device" settings on Enterprise settings affect both Box Mobile App and Box Capture. However, we want to do the settings separately.
1 voteThis is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

Ability to export reports in CSV format
CSV is more useful than Excel when they export logs because some our internal system can import only CSV format (not Excel). It's more convenient to give an option to choose CSV or Excel as export type.
4 votesBecause the admin can save the Excel file as a CSV and we do not want to overpopulate the user interface with too many choices, it is unlikely that we will address this request.
-
Ability to import/export group information to edit
To edit group settings efficiently, it's helpful that Box Admin can import/export group information for bulk edit.
8 votesThere is a clear ask for bulk operations (edit/delete/add) for user management in the Admin Console, but we are currently focusing on making our user management pages and APIs scale and perform more quickly. While this is on our radar, we are not currently prioritizing this on our near term roadmap.

Folder Settings: Add 'automatically remove invited collaborators' at the folder level (user defined)
Currently, "Automatically remove invited collaborators" can be set up only in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings, but some customers are requesting to set up in Folder Settings (meaning at the folder level) because it enables more granular security settings.
7 votesThe usability complexity of this feature would not be worth the small benefit it would provide to a small minority of users.I would suggest instead instead using the existing workaround of Shared Link Expiration.

We evaluated this previously, but have decided not to make changes yet given the user experience tradeoffs. If we get more requests of this, we can re-evaluate.

Add a prompt when moving a folder to ensure a customer wants to perform the action before moving into a folder.

Server side un-zipping of files
Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.
Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.
2 votesThis is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

Enable "Login with Box Account" Functionality similar to Twitter & Google Accounts
Add the ability to enable their users to log in with their Box account by providing a button alongside the Google and Twitter buttons within our application.
While it is true that this can be done with standard OAuth, it is a bit awkward and clunky so isn't a great developer or user experience. We are looking for something similar to the SDK and tools offered by companies like Google.
