  1. Root Folder Organization: Organize folders into personal subfolders even if they are not owners

    Requesting ability to move folders shared with you into sub-folders you choose to create & manage (not impacting the true location/hierarchy of the shared folder itself established by the folder owner)

  2. Box Zones Japan with using Microsoft Azure

    Comply to Japanese regulation which requires to store flies in Japan.

  3. Instructions for installing cli on Linux

    Why don't you at least include some guidance on https://developer.box.com/docs/box-cli regarding where to start if you are using Linux? I have been unable to effectively use my box account since the webdav support ended, and every so often take another stab at it. It would be nice if this page at least pointed to the best resources for installing on Linux, rather than just giving a link to the download pages.

  5. Direct Links for files on Box Drive

    We have Excel files that reference each other that we moved from local drives to Box Drive. The links change to whatever box folder we move them to, but the path is listed as "C:\users\username\filename"... etc. We need these links to reference the actual Box URL so that other people who have access to the file can still get the updated reference.

  6. Ability to include subfolders on User Activity Report

    There are times when we are asked to run reports for security investigations.

    A lot of these requests call for reporting on a folder and all of its child folders.

    We understand that this is currently not possible but was wondering if there was anything in the roadmap to include the ability to select a folder and possibly include another checkbox that says "include subfolders" or something along those lines.

  8. File Request - Display Icon on Folders with File Request Enabled

    On the website, much like the icons on/next to folders for Shared Links, Descriptions, or Sync To Desktop, it would be nice to have an icon for folders that have the File Request feature enabled on them. It would greatly assist with being able to easily identify folders that have the feature enabled at first glance. Thank you.

  9. Box Notes Export or Download to Common Formats

    It would be great if Box Notes supported a simple way to Download/Export into non-Box format like plain text, html, markdown, rtf, or Word. I am hesitant to leverage Box Notes until this feature is present.

  10. Changes to workflow builder functionality

    Create changes to workflow builder functionality:
    1. Allow folder Editors to be able to build workflows (we have very few co-admins)
    2. Allow the workflow builder to specify who is assigning the task (or make it generic.) Just because Bob builds the workflow doesn't mean his name should be on the assigning task.

    We are making continuous major investments to our Edge infrastructure to improve upload and download performance globally and increase our file size limits (150GB today).

    To upload large amount of data, Box Shuttle should be considered and if Box supports FTP, it is not the recommended way to upload large volume of files for both performance and reliability reasons.

  12. 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.

    Hello. 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

  13. Pasting Excel Table into Box Note

    User would like to be able to paste and Excel table into a Box Note for ease of sharing data all in one file.

  14. Box/MS Teams integration - prevent native file sharing

    Need to add an explanation to the webpage on integrating the Box app with MS Teams:

    Box file sharing is not practical in Teams if users are still able to attach files using the built-in Sharepoint capabilities of Teams. Box needs to explain how to turn off the native file sharing in Teams, thereby forcing users to use Box.

    Apparently, there is a way to turn off the ability for teams to create SP doc libraries.

  15. Support Markdown tags in Box Notes.

    We want to be able to use Markdown tags in Box Notes. On a side note, Preview for MD files currently does not support UTF-8. Supporting Markdown in Box Notes will help as a workaround.

    existing feature  ·  Anonymous responded

    Box Drive will silently update without user interaction if an update is available when the user launches Box Drive (such as after they reboot their machine)

  17. Easily replicate folder structure for projects

    We would like the ability to better manage templates of existing content so that he can very easily replicate a folder structure within Box for ongoing projects.

  19. Create robust shared link reporting

    Such as: The ability to nominate specific folders and all content within for which a report should be generated; Timestamp for when a Shared link was created; Who created it; What share permission was set and any settings that were applied; Timestamp for when a Shared link was changed/updated; What the new permission and settings are; Who changed it; Timestamp for when a shared link was removed; Who removed it

  20. Password protected feature to Box Sign

    Box allows to send a password to the signer for the signing purposes but it is not kep on after that. I recommend adding password protected feature on the documents sent from Box Sign, so any sensitive data could be protected.
