  1. Ability to Obsolete Folders & Notify Owner

    Add an option under the folder settings ([?] button), under Sharing, add an item for Obsolete Folder which upon selecting would go to a simple page stating that clicking Ok will notify the Folder Owner(s) that you believe this folder is obsolete and should be deleted.

    Additionally, when selecting Remove, to Remove as Collaborator, that page can also have an option to notify the Owner(s) that the folder looks to be obsolete and is suggested to be deleted.

    This addresses a narrow use case without adding value to a significant amount of our users.

    There is also a current way to achieve this by emailing the owner to ask them to delete the folder.

  2. Remove all Collaborators from Folder

    We have a commonly changing set of external collaborators that need to be in a folder. This list may change every week or every month. Some of the folders may have large numbers of collaborators and there is no way to bump them all out if needed other than removing the folder completely.

    This currently seems like a much more narrow use case than the other requests we have gotten so it will not be prioritized in the short term.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases and customer demand.

  3. Mobile browser support on Device Trust

    When Device Trust is turned on, all access from mobile browsers are blocked. There is a large number of mobile users (iPads) that need to access Box through a mobile browse as there are certain functionality that not available through the Box mobile application.

    The most important things for us that iPad users may need through the browser that they can't do through the apps are the following (and this is important because most of our sales force ONLY have iPads and not PCs, leaving them no other way to perform these tasks, except potentially using VDI on their iPads).…

  4. Ability to set a custom attribute in the Box Capture application

    We would like the ability to set an attribute in the Box Capture application to automatically name photos with a desired store name.

    For example, rather than automatically name the photo 2016-05-23_001.jpg, we would like to have the option to set the default name via an attribute or prefix that would enable them to more easily identify, search on, and organize them.

    As an example they would like the option in the Box Capture application to be able to Set Photo Name Prefix to "Boise" so that the resulting photos would be saved to Box as: Boise2016-05-23001.jpg; Boise…

    Thanks for the feedback. We’ll be exploring a better way of providing value in the naming convention of repeated saving actions within a session.

  5. Ability to adjust the search string, while maintaining the current set of filtering criteria.

    As users are searching and adjusting advanced search filters many of times they realize they need to adjust the original search request, and this can be quite cumbersome when they have to repeat the advanced search filter settings.

  6. Ping Federate connector to automatically sign people out of all apps when deprovisioning

    Use the API call "Update User" to force a user to change password (and in doing so, log them out of all applications) when deprovisioning a user using outbound provisioning. This isn't necessary if users are being deprovisioned to "Deleted" or "Inactive" status, but if they are being set to "Cannot Delete, Edit & Upload", then the user will still have access to Box via Sync/Mobile clients

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the future roadmap. We are currently focused on improving our user interface and key flows of user management before we add enhancements to the de-provisioning process.

  9. Ability to download a watermarked Folder

    We are trying to distribute bundles of secure content pertaining to movie releases and would like the ability to apply watermarks to entire folder downloads.

    This is not planned.

    We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

  12. Request to increase item count per folder limit

    We would like to be able to add more than 15,000 items per folder. We are working with multi-level folders structures within our environment and anticipate having more than 15,000 items within the first level of their subfolders.

    We have an internal initiative to scale up this and several other metrics. And we have made significant progress in terms of the number of items that can be stored in a Folder. I am happy to report that our research have shown that our infrastructure can easily scale up to 1 Billion items in a single Folder.


    Since this initiative is underway, we are in the process of understanding how such a scale impacts the usability of our first party applications that sits on top of our platform. However, accessing such large number of items on a single folder via our APIs should be straightforward.


    Disclaimer: We are not yet committing that such scale limits will be available to all pricing tiers.

    Thank you for the feedback! This is not prioritized on our Mobile roadmap.

  14. Direct Integration with the Microsoft Project Desktop & Online Apps

    Users using these applications would like to leverage a native Box integration (similar to what already exists in Word/Excel/PowerPoint via Box for Office and the native Box for Office Online integrations).

    This is not currently planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

  15. Custom Message When Deleting Users

    We would like to have a custom message that is sent every time we delete a user from our enterprise account.

    This is unlikely to be prioritized given other commitments.

    What types of messages would you like to send? Are deleted accounts only for those who have left the company? Would they also receive the message? Is there generic information that Box can do a better job of sharing with users?

  16. Preview in icon rather than the normal file type icon display

    We uses several files, often with long naming conventions, within folders. We generally access these files through iPads while working remotely.

    Preview often does not load for all of our files so we would like to have the file type icon that normally is next to the file name be a small preview of the file. This would allow our agents to quickly see a glimpse of the file before having to load the preview for all of the files.

    The loading time for the file and folder tree would cause massive performance issues if they were thumbnail views. That being said, we may explore alternative methods to resolving the long file name issue.

  17. Provide Shared Links Details report on a user / groups level

    Instead of running it for the entire enterprise, we want it segmented by user or group

    Happy to review. Can you provide more clarity on the use case/reason here? Are you hitting a scale issue, or is there some data you’d like added to the report?
