  1. filter the activity report with specific classification

    We want to get the activity reports for specific classification(just like specifying the folder).

    We need to audit user activities for confidential files every quarter. Current activity reports can only specify the user, date, folder and action, not classification.

  2. Accessibility concern

    I am a screen reader user and appreciate the option to turn on the Accessible Version of BOX. I do this frequently, as it greatly improves the usability of the site for me as a screen reader user. But if I'm already in a folder or looking at a document, when I click that link, it takes me out of the document I was in and back to my main list of files and folders. And often, it makes me sign in all over again. When the Accessible Version of Box link is activated, it would be much better if…

    In 2022 Box Web achieved substantial conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0, level AA. Box web includes more features than a.box.com and has a more convenient experience for authenticating and previewing files.


    Going forward, Box will strive to provide a universal experience rather than a separate accessibility site. In 2023 a.box.com will be retired and all users will use Box Web (app.box.com). We recommend transitioning off of a.box.com as soon as possible.  


    We are continually working to improve the usability and accessibility of Box Web.  Any feedback on the usability or accessibility of Box Web is welcome.

  3. Email Address Lists Shield

    To support ethical walls, it would be advantageous to be able to create lists of email addresses for different teams within the same company so that collaboration and shared link access can be restricted. Example for private side, public side employees within an investment bank content could be classified for each with access controls in place to prevent sharing and collaboration.

  4. Zoom.us video recordings archival into Box.

  5. Automatic classification based on filename

    We would like to be able to automatically classify certain files based on filename. We have files of a certain type, that always have the same file extension, that are always high-value assets for us. To be able to automatically classify these and change permissions around external sharing for them would be a big win for us. Without it, we either have to educate our users to always classify these manually, or be content with the possibility of them being outside our security preferences. However, we should also be able to un-classify them, in the rare event that one of…

  6. Send notification after approved/rejected status change

    To improve the real-time collaboration (Task activity) within each team and the team members. Automated notifications sent out to team members indicating the APPROVED/REJECTED status would help). Presently the Team leader and members use the COMMENT feature to keep the team informed. I want more automated notifications as changes occur.

  7. Please consider combining all of chains requesting 2-factor authentication via the likes of Google Authenticator and/or Yubikey

    There are several chains below which are basically requesting the same thing. If you combined all of those into one chain, I'm pretty sure the combined total votes would be the highest in the Security topic. Providing 2-factor authentication via something like Google Authenticator and/or options like Yubikey is absolutely necessary. If we are not given this option, our auditor will require that we stop using Box within about 2 months. I'm doing everything I can to keep Box. It works so well for my team. I don't want to lose it. PLEASE make this a priority.

  8. Proper 2-factor authentication with TOTP not SMS

    Using SMS for 2-factor authentication is oudated and insecure. Using TOTP is an industry standard and should be implemented.

  10. Preview files about xdw, xbd and xct in Box for iOS.

    Please support xdw, xbd and xct files in Box for iOS.

    Box for iOS can preview files supported by Box, such as PDF.
    However, Box for iOS can not preview xdw, xbd and xct files (*1) for the following reasons.

    DocuWorks Viewer Light (iOS) (*2) implements Quick Look Preview Extension.
    Thus, an app can preview xdw, xbd and xct files if the app implements QLPreviewController.
    Although Box for iOS has already implemented QLPreviewController, previewing xdw, xbd and xct files are not supported by Box.

  11. Log Access Policy Violations

    Box currently only logs successful actions. We would like to see when a user attempts to share content that is blocked by Shield Access policies. From a DLP and insider threat perspective this would be huge in determining what people are attempting to do, not just what they are successful at doing.

  14. Relay workflow sharing across users

    As far as I can tell, only the person who has created the Relay workflow has access to the workflow and I can't share the workflow I have already created with one of my colleagues. As a result, if he wants to start a new workflow using the same flow that I had built, he has to start over as I can't share mine with him. This is a really basic function you need to create ASAP if you want adoption with Relay.

  15. Getting Notifications that Don't apply to non-admins

    When I logged into Box this morning, I saw the following note in the lower right-hand corner of my home screen.

    Your Box account has been growing!
    A growing number of users at your company have signed up for Box accounts – exceeding the number seats included in your plan by {{MLDATAOVERAGE_SEATS}}. To adjust this license overage, add seats to your plan using the link below.

    1. We do have seats available
    2. I am not an admin so this shouldn't be a notification I should receive.

  16. Allow users to share built workflows

    Allow workflow builders to share their workflows with each other. Currently workflows need to be rebuilt by each user whereas it would save a lot of time to be able to share these workflows that have already been built.

  17. Update the .NET SDK to support .NET Core 3.1

    The current .NET Core NuGet package is set to support .NET Standard 1.4, but this means that support for old libraries is required. For example, the SDK throws exceptions when getting an admin client due to incompatibilities with System.IdentityModel.JwtToken >= 5.4. These sort of problems are going to continue to happen as the framework progresses.

  18. Simplify "File Request" window

    I have users on my team still using ShareFile to specifically "request files" from external people because the process is simpler. Three key suggestions for the Box "File request" feature:
    1) Can you streamline the pop-up window to focus on the "link" versus the embed widget link. 2) Expose the option/checkbox of the requestor to receive an email when the content is uploaded.
    3) Allow the requestor to adjust the expiration date. Default would be tied to the admin link share policies

    Thanks!

  19. Display Shield classification labels by default beside the name of each item in a folder

    When viewing the contents of a folder, it would be beneficial to the user experience to see which items are classified and how without needing to select the item or attempt to preview it.

  20. Request a file link for Editors

    Many of my customers are requesting for Editors to have the ability to generate request a file links. Owners and Co-Owners have very omniscient capabilities for folder configurations that Editors may not need (nor do the Owners want them to have) but because Editors do much of the editing and information creation/modification, it would be helpful if they could have the ability to request content.
