Add additional user reporting without "Export User" report
There is currently no way to report on Users besides the export user option which exports the entire list of users in the enterprise along with a lot of useful details.
It would be very useful if admins could generate reports with the options in the sort by on the webapp. While we can use the sort by on the web, exporting the users provides more details on one screen admins can review that the webapp does not provide unless you drill into each user.
For example, ability to export users (along with current details on the user export) that…
0 votesWe don’t have any plans to make user reporting available in the webapp at the moment.

Device pinning should count number of device by IMEI: International Mobile Equipment Identity.
Currently Box count number of device by Device ID provided by Apple. Device ID is unique. If user re-installed App, Box count is up even in spite of same device.
0 votesApple does not currently give access to IMEI within code (they used to). Currently we get a vendor ID as specified by Apple, which may or may not change (depending on iOS version).

Admin Messaging to all Users
Currently, there is no way to send a mass message to all users in an enterprise. It will be great to be able to send a message about an upcoming maintenance or upcoming feature users can look forward to or certain changes that may be coming directly from Box.
I needed to send a message to our users a few weeks ago when we needed to disable SSO in order to perform some maintenance with Recommend and I had no options. I used a Box group we add all our users to, but there is no HTML formatting so the…
4 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on making foundational updates to the Users & Groups page to make managing users easier at scale.

Upload via Email: Add Option to Not Send the Confirmation Email to the Uploader
Currently, when someone sends an email (with an attachment) to an 'upload via email' email address, Box automatically sends that user an 'upload complete' confirmation email.
There are various scenarios where an admin does not want end users to receive this confirmation email -- whether the user should not know that Box is the tool being used or for other reasons.
REQUEST: Add a 'send confirmation email to uploaders' option that can be unchecked (but is enabled by default) within the Upload via Email setting on the Folder Settings page.

This is a relatively expensive request for a modest payoff. We will be prioritizing other features on our roadmap.

Viewers of watermarked files can download file before previewing it
Owner of folder wants to have users be able to mass download files within watermarked folder. In the current way, user has to preview each file individually before seeing option to download.

We’ll continue to track requests for this feature. However, it is not planned.

Option for bookmarks to open in same tab
It distracts to have bookmarks open in a new tab and takes away from the main information. I would prefer for it to open in the same tab.
0 votesWe appreciate this request. However, it will not provide a wide benefit for most of our users, so it will not make our roadmap. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Ability to create a custom group name that will be displayed on the collaborator list without affecting the SSO integration
Currently, groups only have names unlike user accounts that have names and aliases. However, since we have SSO groups enabled, we have found that is impossible to rename groups without causing issues.
Because of SSO groups, we had to have a specific naming convention for our groups so we can know which groups to send to Box. All our group names begin with COMPANYBOXPD and then the corresponding team name. Since these groups are shown as collaborators, it will be nice to be able to edit the group to display a user friendly group rather than the technical…
1 voteThank you for the submission! This is a reasonable request. However, we will need to hear from additional customers before prioritizing this request.

Ability to add attachments to Box Notes
As a collaborative editing tool, attaching related materials would be useful in many situations (today, we upload the attachments & link to them, but this presents access limitations & additional steps.)
This is essentially already allowed with the upload ability of image types, but given file level collaboration, having attachments would solve numerous issues our teams are starting to encounter.
3 votesThis is not a current focus area for the Box Notes roadmap. We are happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files
When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.
5 votesThis should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

This is available to set up in a custom environment. However, we do not plan to create an in-product solution to address this need.

Virus Scan Alert on virus-found should send to co-admin as well
Since the Box administrator account is not tied to any IT member, it is very impractical for us to review the emails this account receives.
Thus, we would like to request such emails to be sent to co-admins as well.
0 votesAs an alternative to the email sent to the admin, virus scan alerts are logged in the Box Events API.

Request to add Chunk Downloads, download resume feature
When a large file fails to download, users will have to start the download from the beginning all over again. We would like a retry/resume feature.
10 votesGood morning, Box supports 'HTTP Range Headers' for downloads that allow Browsers or any compatible client to request ranges of the data instead of the full file at once. This allows browsers to pause and resume downloads from Box. More details about HTTP Range Headers here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/R.

Support Kerberos Authentication for Macs (Box for Desktop)
We require authentication for all traffic on our corporate networks/proxies.
We leverage Kerberos and request full support of the Kerberos protocol for all calls made by Box for Desktop.
Context: Currently, Box Sync supports Kerberos for the login flow (due to the Sync login page being an embedded WebKit browser which DOES support Kerberos), but Box Sync doesn't actually support Kerberos for its own network requests (that happen after the login flow).

Hiding list/view of Collaborators without removing ability for users to add new collaborators.
This is more of a cosmetic request to hide all collaborators (view of owners and co-owners is fine) but still provide ability for collaborators to invite new ones.
0 votesThis is the first request we have heard for something like this and the use case isn’t totally clear to us.
It seems to be pretty narrow with low impact so we will not prioritize it on our roadmap, but we will keep an eye out to see if this begins trending.

This is a very niche use case that could help customers, but also negatively impact other customers.
I would like to better understand the root problem before adding complexity to the product.

Ability to add a comment to a user.
If we mark an account as Inactive, we'd like to be able to add a comment to the user for tracking purposes e.g., "Disabled by Jane D. per contract non-renewal."
0 votesThere is nothing planned in this area for now. Have you considered using the Tracking Codes feature?

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.
