Lucidchart Enhanced Two-Way Integration
The current Box + Lucidchart integration is based on the 'More Actions' menu in the Box webapp.
REQUEST: Work with Lucidchart to extend this integration to a true two-way integration (similar/exactly the same as what Lucidchart already has with Google Drive - https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/google-apps), allowing the user to save to Box from Lucidchart and more.
0 votesPlease reach out to Lucidchart directly to get this integration request prioritized.

Group-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the Group level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults by Group. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a Group can generate Open Shared Links, invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated, even if users in that Group are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
19 votesFor now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.
Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.
-
Consistent Support Helpdesk Info Across Endpoints
Currently, admins can control the Custom Support Information (Helpdesk contact info) that appears in the web app. However, admins cannot control the support information shown in all endpoints, like Box for Office.
This will help large enterprises avoid confusion with their end users.
0 votesWe are not planning to change this at the moment. We will reconsider based on additional customer demand.

Prevent personal email clients from being opened in Box for EMM via 'Email Link' option
The 'Email Link' functionality in Box for EMM, used when emailing a shared link, directly prompts the user for email clients recognized on the device (e.g. default email client and Gmail). We would like to be able to restrict Box for EMM from presenting the option of the personal email client.
Or, as a fallback, restrict the 'Email Link' option entirely, as it serves as a security loophole for our team.
0 votesThere is no method for the Box mobile app to distinguish between a personal and business email address.
Even if we were able to remove the email functionality, which many customers use, end users would still be able to copy the shared link and paste it within their desired email client.
The shared link itself should be where proper security is enforced. These restrictions can be managed through the Admin Console.

Unclear on what the specific request and use-case are for this feature request. Please provide more detail!

BCC E-mail to Archive is Insufficient as an eDiscovery feature
The BCC E-mail to Archive feature cannot be used for eDiscovery if users disable their e-mail notifications, as the feature only works if an email is sent to users.
As a result, this control cannot be relied upon by organizations and introduces a gap in control.
We require this functionality for our compliance/legal requirements.

Box Notes at its core is a collaborative product and so many features don’t make sense in a ‘Hide Collaborators’ environment. We’d suggest turning off ‘Hide Collabs’.

Support for Macro-enabled Files
Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.
Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

Non Compliant Device signing onto Device Trust seeing Domain
We have enabled Device Trust for our organization, but we noticed that when a non-compliant device attempts to use Box Sync with their Children's account, it sends a response listing the domain in which the device must be registered to.
"Device must be a member of one of the following domains: kidsnet.childrenshc.org"
We would prefer if the domain name is not sent out to the web and instead the message "Device is not a member of the allowed Domain(s)" as a security concern.

Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)
When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"
REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.
Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.
69 votesThis is not planned in the near future due to other higher priority initiatives.

Shared Folder Page: Add the Ability to Search
The shared folder page does not currently have the ability to search, meaning users must manually navigate through (potentially) pages of folders to find the relevant file.
REQUEST: Add the ability to perform searches when viewing a Shared Folder page as a non-collaborator.
For example, if a customer is using open shared links as a way to host a 'Brand/PR Assets' library with subfolders for logos, imagery, etc., the users are unable to quickly locate the file they need amongst the subfolders. Search would help with this.
23 votesThis is a great suggestion, and I can definitely see the usefulness of such a feature. Based on current priorities, I don’t foresee us being able to implement this feature in the short-term.

Batch Email Notification for Policy Violation
If an admin uploads a folder of 10 documents to Box and each violates an upload policy, the end user will receive 10 email notifications. Our admin has asked that we batch these emails together if the violation happens within a certain time period.
0 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan to update notifications. We may look into this in the future.
-
Customize Upload Policy Email Notifications
Ability to add customized logos, hyperlinks, and change the text of the notification email so it makes more sense for our organization.
As the notification stands now, it's generic and we want to make it more descriptive.
4 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

Support HTML webpage in Preview
Users have requested to run HTML pages and associated image assets in the same way that Dropbox supports them.
4 votesThis seems like website hosting on Box. This is not currently planned as there isn’t ample customer demand backing it.

Enable searching for groups by name
We have ~1500 employees and many legacy group. We are working to create a new group structure and have a need to search for similar groups by name to create a mapping to consolidate their groups.
4 votesCustomers can use the Get Enterprise Groups API to retrieve groups by name: https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference.
However, we do not provide this functionality through the Groups UI in the Admin Console. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap because we are currently focusing on improving the user interface and performance to manage users.

Notification Policy - Notify if not part of certain domains
It's desired that Notification Policies have the ability to notify if an external collaborator is added that is not part of the EID's domains.
Currently, companies must set a notification policy and detail all of the domains they want a notification policy for.
0 votesWhile this is possible to implement, we are not making significant changes to sharing policies in the near future.

Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships
Allow for a Point in Time recovery.
We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.
6 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.
