  1. Having staggard jobs for high number of file transfer through box shuttle

    Currently box shuttle does not give the option to run the job either by size of data transfer or number of files.

    If we have the option to stagger the job by number of files or size or even system auto divides the job into sub jobs then data transfer can be even faster and more convenient to handle.

  2. Add history to box drive search box as it is ussual in all good software!

    There is no history in box drive search box! Viewed/edited files are even missing in the last open files in word or excel! Why I must enter search criteria again and again? Hire an UX specialist to tell you what to do!

  3. Placement of "Delete Group"

    The placement of the "Delete group" button at the top right of the screen that appears when you click a group from the list of groups in the management console is too poor.

    During normal operation, what you see here are forward-looking functions such as "Save" and "Add."
    The more you get used to the operation, the more likely you are to press this button with force.

    管理コンソールのグループの一覧から、グループをクリックした際に表示される、画面右上のボタン「グループの削除」の配置が悪すぎる

    通常のオペレーション時、ここに表示されるのは、「保存」や「追加」といった前向きな機能群である
    操作が慣れてくるほど、このボタンを勢いで押してしまいそうになる

  4. Privileged Identity Management

    I would like to see the ability to apply PIM for Box Admin and Co-Admin roles; a mechanism whereby the Admin role is granted for a minimal amount of time based on the Just in Time principle.

    We would like to see minimum privileges, minimum time, and consistent with the company's zero-trust strategy.

    Box管理者、共同管理者のロールについて、PIMを適用できるようにしてほしい。Just in Time の原則に基づき、最小限の時間だけ管理者ロールが付与される仕組み。

    最小権限、最小時間を実現し、企業のゼロトラスト戦略との整合性を取ってほしい。

  6. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  7. Enabling external links/references in excel workbooks

    In Excel any external references (e.g. in macros or other workbooks) are disabled, for data driven companies who use excel heavily it would be ideal to have these functions available in box drive. Using Box online can be limiting.

  8. prevent file download to local drive for editor

    We would like to have the ability to prevent a user with editor access from being able to download the shared folder content.
    According to https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13404788095507-Restrict-download-access, it seems not possible.

    Our goals are:
    - Allow them to create files/folder, and to edit them from within the Box drive.
    - Prevent them from downloading the files into their local drive and take it with them.

    As a security measure of data loss prevention.

  9. Content Insights reports cannot be output if there are restrictions on content creation.

    (Japanese follows English)
    There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
    Currently, there are many cases in which system administrators are required to respond to requests, which places a heavy burden on both administrators and users, and hinders the use of content insights.
    Please enable output even in tenants that have restrictions on content creation, such as specifying the report output destination or outputting to a local file.


    コンテンツ作成の制限が入っているとコンテンツインサイトのレポートが出力出来ない

    コンテンツインサイトのアクセス統計情報をエクスポートという機能がありますが、コンテンツ作成の制限をして第一レベルのフォルダの作成を禁止している場合は出力ができません。
    現状だとシステム管理者に依頼を受けて対応するケースが多く、管理者、利用者とも負荷が大きく、コンテンツインサイトの活用の阻害となっています。
    レポートの出力先を指定する、ローカルにファイル出力するなどコンテンツ作成の制限が入っているテナントでも出力できるようにしてください。

  10. Please automatically close the tab of the browser we used to log in after completing the login process.

    The login method from Box Drive has been changed to using a web browser.
    Currently, the behavior is that the tab of the web browser used for login authentication remains after login is completed.
    The administrator is troubled by the many inquiries from end users asking if closing this tab will cause any problems.

     Reference:

    [Proposal 1]
    Please automatically close the tab of the browser we used to log in after completing the login process.

  11. Custom color change setting on individual files

    Just a simple custom color setting on files would be excellent. The standard purple that Box uses to display the file type really clashes with our branding. We are using the embed widget and turned off the Box logo which is really helpful, but when the audio file plays it shows up purple and does not look custom at all.

    1.Grab the email addresses from participants list in the invite

  13. Download Collaboration

    Uploading a file from a web browser
    I would like to have the ability to automatically download a file uploaded from a web browser on a different computer.
    This will greatly help in improving the efficiency of indirect collaboration with other software.

    1. upload a file (csv) from a browser (chrome) to Box on computer A. 2.
    2. PC "B" (Win11) has a software program installed on it, and the csv file is imported by the software.
    3. The PC in environment B is always connected to the Internet while it is running, so we would like the uploaded file to be automatically…

  14. Improve Print to PDF conversion to avoid extra pages

    When sending single page .tif files to print as .pdfs, Box web app conversion scaling creates extra pages due to imperfect margins. Manually adjusting the scaling down to 70% brings the image size down to fit on a single page.

    We would like to see either improved automated scaling or a way to set a default scale in the Admin Console to avoid overburdening end users having to set the scale by hand every time they need to print.

  15. Box Device Trust Domain Requirement Azure AD tenant ID

    Really simple suggestion for documentation and the Device Trust config page. In December 2023, for companies with no local domain but using Azure AD , I needed to fill in the "Tenant ID" into the Device Trust policy domain requirement field in order to successfully connect. I grabbed mine from my Microsoft Entra overview page, but there are other ways to get it like running "dsregcmd /status" on a joined laptop.

  16. Create Annotations/Markups with Viewer Role with Watermarking Enabled

    When Watermarking is NOT enabled on files/folders, users with the Viewer permission are able to markup/annotate without downloading the file. As soon as Watermarking is turned on, that functionality goes away. The only option is to increase their permissions, which gives them rights to upload, which I do not want. Why does this functionality go away when Watermarking is enabled? Is this able to be fixed?

  17. Better (or customizable) bandwidth limits for wedding media companies

    Better (or more customizable) monthly bandwidth limits and no transfer speed limitations. I run a wedding media company that does about 200TB of bandwidth/year. Coming from Dropbox, I think there is definitely a vacuum in the market for a cloud company to pick up their slack, especially for wedding producers...

  18. Restrict Access Right to Sub-Folders

    Hello,

    After creating FOLDER A and SUB-FOLDERS B, C, D under A, along with sub-subfolders E, F, G under B, I granted User X viewer access to A. However, I aim to restrict or remove their access to C, E, F, and G. Unfortunately, this functionality isn't currently available with Box.com. Could you consider adding this feature? Thank you!

  19. Force user email validation for external collaborators

    In the case that Person P from Company B is laid off and p@b.com mailbox is turned off , the Box.com External Account is still active with whatever security it had. Person P can keep accessing Box.com and CNMLLP content without CNMLLP or Company B knowing about it. Also, external bad actors can guess passwords and gain access, and there's no visibility. If we can force an external collaborator to click a link in a email, for instance in a browser-initiated Password Reset that sends an email right away, then it proves that Person P still has access to P@C.com

  20. Enable to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via file request.

    I would like to use the Box API to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via a file request.
    In the current specification, the "createdby" and "modifiedby" names of these files are both "Anonymous User" even if the file was uploaded by a user who is logged into Box.
