  1. Manage Box Drive folders that sync with the Box.com - I have to uninstall Box Drive from all of my devices

    Because I cannot select which folders to sync from Box.com, I cannot use Box Drive which makes going back to One Drive extremely appealing.

    This seems like such basic functionality and it's very disappointing that Box didn't provide it - and actually took it away when moving from Box Sync.

    My idea is for Box Drive to provide the same basic functionality that Box Sync had and One Drive and Google Drive and Dropbox have.

  2. Google Workspace Add-on - Remove Collaborators

    When a customer uses the Google Workspace Add-on (either clicking the Box icon in Google Drive to move a Google document to Box OR using the Gmail integration) and that document has Collaborators who were added in Google, then Box will emails all those Collaborators invites to the new Box folder. Multiple customers have complained about this.

    For my customer, Coursera, their main content storage solution is Google. Only the Legal Team uses Box for retention. When the Legal Team moves a file from GDrive to Box, it then sends Collaboration requests to all Google Collaborators on the file (many…

  3. canvas sharing outside the organisation

    Currently one of the great things about other canvas style products is to be able to share it outside the organisation and to be able to invite a guest to contribute/edit the document.

    Currently the external user needs to have a box account I believe.

    Also a nice to have would be the ability to copy from Miro to Canvas

  5. Notify user immediately when a file is updated or uploaded.

    We would like the functions or API commands to notify user immediately when a file on the Box is updated or uploaded.
    We would like to be able to trigger the next process on file updates, so we would like the ability to be notified each time an update is made, rather than a periodic notification.

  6. Ability to customize/configure the location of the shortcut to Box Drive folder on Windows.

    We would like to have the ability to customize the location of the shortcut to Box Drive folder on Windows or to disable its creation.
    Right now, the creation of the shortcut cannot be disabled or customized (just as the cache location cannot be customised), and it's always created under c:\users\username\desktop. This is not ideal for users who are not allowed access to userprofile folder.

  7. User activity on some days only (like saturday and sunday)

    Would it be possible to run the activity report and select some days in the week ?
    It could be interesting to see the activity during the week-end (saturday and sunday), so we can see if it's normal or not.

  10. Metadata export with file upon download

    We use box widget on our website for file upload. We have a metadata form/template that gets filled out, however outside of box there is no way we can use that data. We are looking to automate some process's it would be nice if the information that is filled out could be extracted with the uploaded pdf file upon download. Once the pdf has been downloaded the metadata that goes with the file is gone. I'm told that this isn't possible currently with box. Hopefully some consideration on how box can be used in automation process outside of its own…

  12. Box Sign - Fields are tall and wide and need to be resized.

    It's time consuming to have to resize the Signature field and Date field. The initial field is too tall for most signature spots and the Date fields are too wide. After a person signs, the signature box covers other words if not resized before. Could the default size of the fields be adjusted?

  13. Allow more than 10 redirect URIs in app configuration

    Our app sits on top of regionally distributed infrastructure, supporting multi-tenancy, and we need to be able to configure more than the maximum of 10 redirect URIs that is currently allowed. It would be nice if we could configure as many as needed.

  14. After pressing the share button, I would like the "Invite users" field to be hidden for users who do not have invitation authority.

    During daily operations, after pressing the share button, the "Invite users" column is displayed even from the user screen that does not have invitation authority, which causes confusion.
    If you hover the cursor over it, you will see "You do not have permission to invite collaborators", but I would like the "Invite Users" field to be hidden from the share screen so that I can make a decision right away.
    If it is difficult, if you are not authorized, please display the message "You are not authorized to invite" when this screen opens.

    日頃操作する中で、共有ボタンを押下後に招待権限を持たないユーザー画面からも「ユーザーを招待」の欄があることで混乱が生じてしまう。
    カーソルを合わせれば「コラボレータを招待する権限はありません」と表示されるが、
    直ぐに判断できるように共有画面からは「ユーザーを招待」の欄を非表示にするようにしてほしい。
    もし難しい場合、招待権限がないユーザーがこの画面が開いたら「招待権限がない」というメッセージを表示させてほしい。

  15. I want the general user to be notified when an item is copied or moved and the process is complete.

     When an item is copied or moved, a message is displayed indicating that the move is complete, but when the target folder is checked, the process may not be complete.
     After moving or copying large data, the user may immediately see "copy completed" but the process is not actually completed, confusing the user.
     Currently, general users can only visually confirm that the process is complete, and the only way to confirm that the process is complete is to request a user with administrative privileges to output a user activity report.
     Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to…

  17. Improving metadata input experience from file request links

    The operability of the metadata amount and date input fields should be improved.
    Currently, after entering a numeric value, the input value changes unless the user selects a blank space on the screen or moves to the next item, which does not seem to be a common operability.
    For example, entering 1000 in the metadata amount field from the request link and then entering the next item without selecting a blank space on the screen or moving to the next item will cause the amount value to change to 999.

  18. Prevent items with restricted movement from being moved on the Box Drive display

    If "Do not allow ownership of content to be transfered to external users" is enabled in the tenant settings, content cannot be moved to external tenants by users other than the administrator.

    However, when content is moved in Box Drive, although it is not actually moved, it appears on the display as if it is stored in the destination folder, and it does not return to the original folder until the user logs out/logs back in to Box Drive.

    Content whose movement is restricted by Classification Policies will immediately return to the folder in which it was originally stored, both…

  19. Prevent desktop box folder deletion

    Please create a way to globally disable users the ability to delete folders from their desktop with Box Drive.

    They are under the impression that if they hit "delete" on the folders they are removed from the Projects. This in turn has caused a lot of chaos from team members deleting the entire Project folders instead of going to the Box website and revoking their permissions.

    No amount of training we try do it can solve this with a company our size.

    Team members are deleting terabytes of data and it's exhausting trying to recover all this data.

  20. Admin, content owner, and/or content co-owners can lock folders in the native UI so that they can't be moved.

    Make Owner/Co-Owner folder lock available in native web interface. It's really bad if a folder that shouldn't be moved gets moved by an Editor. Right now, this is only available via API https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/
