  1. Notification about Update of File

    If you share a link to a file or folder, is there a way for recipients on that file to be notified that the file has been updated or in the case of a folder that another file has been added?

    For example, when they receive the link, could there be a message that says, if you'd like to get updated about this file/folder enter your e-mail. Then Box has a way of sending them the updates.

  2. Ability to search/surface duplicate content

    It would be beneficial to be able to show all duplicate content where files are identical.

  3. Metadata Versioning History

    As we need to meet specific regulatory or compliance requirements, it's helpful to have a history of the metadata attributes that are applied to a folder or file.

    It would be ideal if this was versioned on files/folders in the UI or reportable via user reports.

    Although we do not plan to introduce this feature in the near term, we recognize its importance. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

  4. Report / Customizable dashboard for a workflow

    I would like to get an overall view of my workflow and which files are at which stages, including:
    - How many files are in Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc.
    - How many files have completed
    - How many files were denied (or stopped in process)

  5. Adding AI activities to the User Activity Report

    Box AI reporting is currently only available to tenants on the Enterprise Plus plan.
    Box AI is now available to tenants with the business plan or above, but since operation logs cannot be confirmed from reports, auditing is not possible, making it unusable for businesses and posing a fatal security flaw.
    In order to use and utilize Box AI, please make sure that AI activities are output regardless of your plan.

    (日本語訳)
    ユーザーアクティビティレポートのAIアクティビティの追加

    現在Box AIに関するレポート機能を使用できるのは、Enterprise Plusプランを利用しているテナントのみです。
    businessプラン以上のテナントでもBox AIが利用できるようになりましたが、レポートから操作ログが確認できない状態では監査ができないため、企業として利用できずセキュリティ的に致命的な欠陥があります。
    企業でBox AIを利用・活用するため、プランに関わらずBoxAIに関するアクティビティが出力されるよう改修をしてください。

  6. Disposition Report should be able to show files that were deleted in the past

    It's important for GxP compliance and ease of auditing to know what files were disposed of in the past, or during a specific period, like in the last 30 days, last 6 months, etc.

    Disposition report should be able to show previous deletions, not just upcoming deletions, and admins should be able to filter by retention policy, and date.

  7. Using public Beta for Folder Insights with Editor permissions

    Most users who need Folder Insights are editors.
    Also, invitations are often restricted for security reasons.
    I would like to see Folder Insights and reports downloadable even for invite-restricted editors.

    -in Japanese-
    フォルダインサイトを必要としているユーザーの多くは編集者権限であり、
    またセキュリティ上の理由から招待を制限されていることが多い。
    招待制限されている編集者権限でもフォルダインサイトの閲覧とレポートのダウンロードができるようにしてほしい。

  8. Support for Qualified electronic signature (QES)

    Supporting Qualified Electronic Signature through 3rd-party identity validation would be incredibly useful as it's required within the EU for some categories of processes

  10. Wants to find move operation from the source folder

    User Activity report searches the destination folder which the file currently exists. However in move operation, the customer wants to search not only the destination folder but also the source folder.

  11. Relay:Enable/disable the "Invite assignees as Viewers/Editors" option

    A new feature has been added to Relay called "Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors".
    Perhaps, it is possible that, due to a mistake, users who should not be collaborating are automatically collaborated with.
    However, in the current specification, the checkbox for this feature cannot be changed from enabled.

    We would like the checkbox to be able to be unchecked optionally.

    誤操作により、本来権限を付与されるべきではないユーザーがコラボレートされてしまう可能性があるため、
    チェックボックスのチェックを任意で外せるようにしてほしい。

  12. FIX the SEARCH to search exact terms and support advanced search parameters

    There are several major issues here, search should be powerful in order to make the tool as useful as possible. It is to the point now that we are storing so much information on Box that not having a search tool that actually works is causing us serious headache and loss of productivity.

    1. Search returns results for all forms of a word, how is it helpful to be absolutely unable to narrow a search. For example, if I search for "Government" (yes, even when using quotes) I get results including government, governance, govern, etc. Thanks Box, you have now included…

  13. disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled

    We would like a Function to disable comments, tasks, and version history when "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" is enabled in the "Privacy" folder settings.

    We want this because If you invite multiple external collaborators, we don't want external people to detect who you are inviting.

    There is a function to hide collaborators, but if invited external users use comments, tasks, version history, it will be possible to see who is invited, so we would like to disable these functions as well.

  14. Create Relay Tasks based on dates defined in metadata

    We would like to create tasks based on dates that have been assigned to the document through metadata. For example a task would be created on September 20 if that date was specified in metadata. We have several scenarios where documents "expire" and we need to renew them. These dates are variable based on when the original document is loaded into Box.

    Hello All, 


    We do not have this feature planned in short team and have this feature in the backlog for next year. We will consider this again next year and reach out for input and feedback.


    Thanks,

  15. Collapse sidebar on right hand side (Activity / Details / Metadata) by default

    Give users ability to decide at either account or folder settings level whether content opens up in full screen (i.e. marketing video etc) with the side bar on right hand side collapsed by default.

    They can then click if they want to open the sidebar to check on Activity / Details / Metadata

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  17. Email Notification Frequency Options - Immediate, Daily Digest, Weekly, etc.

    Box currently provides email notifications as options for end users to 'subscribe' to email notification alerts when content is uploaded, downloaded, previewed, deleted, or commented on. Box currently only provides one 'type' of email notification: instant (which includes automatic batching when events occur within a few minutes of each other).

    REQUEST: Add the ability for users to choose the 'type' of email notification they'd like to enable at the folder level (via Folder Settings):
    --Real-time emails (what we already have today)
    --Daily digest (1 email per day)
    --Additional weekly option (optional)

  19. Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser

    Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser.

    We have applied Box Shield's [Download and Print Restriction] to "For Box Desktop" and [Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via browser is also disabled.
    Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via a browser is also disabled.
    Similarly, Office co-editing functions that are opened via a browser should not be restricted, since access in BoxEdit is not restricted.
    Errors in opening the file in the browser cause confusion for the user.
    Also, please add the following explanation to the Access Policy Settings…

  20. Ability to Name Scheduled Reports

    Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is…
