  1. Review Document button unreadable in desktop Outlook

    When a sign request email is sent, the "Review Document" button renders as a black-and-blue square without any text in the desktop Outlook client (tested on Version 2401 build 17231.20194, but widely repeatable across our company). Downloading Pictures (a common fix for Outlook formatting issues) does not fix this issue.

    Opening the same email in Outlook for Web, Outlook Mobile, Gmail, and other email clients renders the Review Document button correctly. Competitor products all render their equivalent of the Review Document button correctly in all variants of Outlook.

    Given the prevalence of Outlook in corporate environments, this makes documents sent…

  2. Preserve names when staff leaves

    Add a feature to preserve the names of departed users in the Box Activity comments and tasks and approvals instead of changing their names to "Anonymous User" or "A Prior Collaborator" to preserve records of who was involved in the approval process even if they no longer have active accounts. Additionally, approvals set up by departed users should remain visible and not disappear from the Activity box. This is important for any company using Box as a review or internal control tool.

  3. Open CSV files with Google Sheet (from Box WebApp/Preview)

    As of today, only file with .gdoc, .gslide, .gsheet, .docx, .pptx, .xlsc extensions can be "Opened With" Google workspace apps from the Box WebApp preview.

    This request is to add support for .csv files, so they can also be opened with Google Sheet.

  4. Notification function when a conflict occurs when editing a file

    Files are locked when edited from Box Drive by users who have co-authoring enabled.
    However, it takes time for the lock to take effect, which can lead to file conflicts if another user edits the file first.

    BoxDrive and BoxEdit normally notify you when a file conflict occurs, but unfortunately users who have enabled the collaborative editing feature do not receive the notification that a conflict has occurred.

    If you want to co-edit with a user whose co-editing function is disabled, you can co-edit with Office Online if you are editing Excel or Word, but the file you want to…

  5. make linked files visible in Finder on desktop

    Linked files are only visible in the web version of Box, and not visible on the desktop with Box Drive. This defeats the purpose of having linked files since the majority of users are accessing Box through Box Drive on their desktop. Please update!!!

  6. Require 12 characters for External Collaborator Passwords

    Currently, if 'Require Strong Passwords for External Collaborators' is selected, the external collaborator will be required to use at least 8 characters (along with additional criteria). The ask is to require 12 characters, rather than 8, for increased security.

  8. Box File Request - Ability to add a global forced expiration date.

    Box File Request - Ability to add a enterprise global forced expiration date policy. The users by default are not prompted to apply an expiration date. It would be nice to have a future setting that allow box admins to enforce a global policy to enter an expiration date or timeframe with options that admins control/enforce.

  9. Ability to map Box Groups to Information Barrier Segments

    The current requirement for uniqueness in Information Barrier segments only allows Box Admins to add individual users to segments, not user groups. This process can increase the long-term maintenance.

    Ideally, customers should be able to use attributes from Active Directory that are then synced to Box Groups. Ultimately, the Box Groups would be used to update Information Barrier segment membership automatically. If the group update breaks the requirement that a user can only belong to one segment, Box could produce an error message.

  10. Ability to resize the signature box for signers

    Currently, Box's functionality does not allow the signer to change the size of the signature area.
    If the signer has a large number of characters or strokes and the signature area is small, it will be inconvenient because the signer's name will be difficult to read.
    Therefore, we would like to implement a function that allows the signer to change the size of the signature area.

    タイトル:Box Sign上で陰影画像のサイズを変更したい

    現在Boxの機能では署名者側で署名箇所の大きさを変更する事ができません。
    署名者の文字数や画数が多い場合に署名箇所が小さいと署名者の名前が見にくい為不便です。
    その為、署名者側でも署名箇所の大きさを変更できる機能の実装を希望します。

  11. Contract term display added to the "Accounts and Billing" screen on the Administration page

    Currently, it is not possible to check the contract term on Box, and to do so, we must contact the sales agent.
    We would like to see an improvement to the "Accounts and Billing" screen of the Management Console to add an indication of the contract period so that the administrator can check the contract period at any time, as is the case with trial tenants.

    <管理画面の「アカウントと請求」画面に契約期間の表示を追加>
    現状Box上で契約期間を確認することはできず、確認するためには販売代理店に問い合わせる必要があります。
    トライアルテナントのように、管理コンソールの「アカウントと請求」画面に契約期間の表示を追加し、管理者がいつでも契約期間を確認できるように改善してほしいです。

  12. Allow individual file sharing to groups

    Currently, you can share folders with groups, but not individual files. I have a custom tutorial I'd like to share with a user group wihtout nesting it in a folder, like the "Get Started with Box" PDF file does, but there is no option for it. Optimally, I'd prefer to see an option in which we could replace the "Get Started with Box" PDF file with our own PDF tutorial that addresses our specific needs.

  13. Applying folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification policies

    Would like to apply folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification Policies. Currently, we can apply to a selected group of folders, but we have an organizational need to be able to apply a classification policy to all content and add a small selection of folders to exclude from that classification policy.

  14. Expansion of File Version Limit settings

    For customers currently using Governance, the "File Version Limit" setting can be set to 1-100 or unlimited.
    We would like this setting to be improved so that it can be specified as 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, etc. The reason is that problems may occur when there are multiple file versions when migrating between tenants or within a tenant, so I would like to limit this in the settings.

  15. IP address restriction setting in admin console

    We would like to be able to configure IP address restriction setting in admin console.
    It cannot be set up IP address restriction without a service request to product support.
    Therefore, any customer have to wait long time to set it and also is inconvenient.

  17. Additional info in Anomalous Download Shield e-mail notifications

    It would be very helpful to see "Previous weekly download amount", "anomalous download amount" and the "delta" on Anomalous download e-mail notifications. We use these to identify notifications that require further investigation, but these are only available by clicking into the reports which make this kind of detection difficult to scale and manage.

  19. Make the signature font bolder or darker

    Change the font to bolder or darker for the signature options. Some are very light. In addition, remove the red ink option. Some financial institutions do not accept signatures in red ink.

  20. Dynamic notification feature in Relay

    In Relay notifications, it's currently only possible to include a pre-set static message. We'd like to have the ability to include dynamic settings that incorporate pre-trigger information such as the target file name.
