Display warning if you are opening a file in, for example, Word Desktop when someone else has it open in Word Online.
I know that you can see that teeny icon in the upper right of the preview window when someone is editing the file in Word Online, for example. But it would be great if there were a warning that pops up to tell you that someone has it open in Online, and to warn you of the consequences of editing it in Desktop. Users get really freaked out when they get the conflict error after the fact, and a warning would at least explain the consequences.
22 votesHello. This feature already exists in Box. When you have a file open in an online editor (either Office Online or GSuite), there are two indicators that this is occurring:
(1) a tinycon next to the file name to indicate an open online editing session
(2) the Open With menu is restricted only to the current online editing session, so you can join a co-editing session for the active tool, but desktop and any other editing tools are disabled for entry -

Remove Open with Office Online Option
We would like the ability to remove the option for opening documents in Office Online (ex: Microsoft Excel Online: Open this file in your browser). We are not O365 customers and people are often confused since the option to open in the native desktop Office app looks practically the same.

We actually already have a ‘Show Folder Tree’ feature in the Web App – you can access it by simply clicking ‘Show Folder tree’ when on the All Files page in your account. Here’s a screenshot of what that feature looks like: https://cloud.box.com/s/zihrv07iv7mei41a0uf8ew5fnc9dlu9n
Hope that helps!

File folder tree report needed for potential security breach
Scenario: Employees have improperly stored data in box.com by marking data as public that should not have been labeled in such a manner. The data is sufficiently sensitive that the company would like to quantify and evaluate what has been labeled in such a way to make the data public.
8 votesIt sounds like what is being asked for here is a content report that includes history for when content was marked public. This information can be found by running a User Activity report for Collaboration and Shared Links type events: https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Admins/Running-Reports/ta-p/26790#useractivity.

Workflow phases for easier understanding of progress
We have a workflow that could be over 25 steps in total. These steps are separated, in their original design, into phases such as Preparation > Briefing > Development > Sign-off > Release. Currently, it's impossible for users to see which stage they are in or which stages have been completed, as they are not defined. A user would have to know the number of steps in each phase to understand this currently. Phasing is a basic feature included in most workflow systems.
