  1. 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,

    Nirmal

  2. File Type request: .log files (text)

    A lot of applications output their logs with the extension .log. These are just text files (.txt) with a .log extension. Unfortunately, files with .log extensions can't load in preview. Please allow .log files to load in preview (for desktop and mobile interfaces).

    Thanks for the suggestion of this addition. We are not currently planning to add this functionality, but will keep the post updated for future.

  3. Ability in Box Drive to have documents physically stored on PC or external driver

    In Box Drive it would be good that the documents are physically on our PC in offline mode, not just a memory copy (metadata).

  5. 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.

  6. Retain user name in comment/ task even after user is removed.

    When user is removed, all comment/ previous will be display as "Anonymous User". For customer who rely on comment/ tasks it is confusing to keep track on which account posted what.

  7. Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.

    It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.

    Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.

  9. 'Email Shared Link' - Add Reporting for the Recipient (Who the shared links were sent to)

    When sending shared link emails (via the Shared Link modal -> Email Shared Link option) we do not report on who we sent the email to.

    REQUEST: In the UI and Excel exports, add information on who the shared link email was sent to.

  10. Ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.

    In the case that a user accidentally uploads a sensitive file to an invited folder and delete it to avoid the access of others, the folder collaborator with viewer-uploader or above access permission can find it by searching the trash and moreover he/she can restore it.
    We need to limit the ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.
    It would be even better if this could be configured in the admin console.

    ユーザーが誤って招待されたフォルダに機密ファイルをアップロードし、他のユーザーのアクセスを避けるためにそれを削除した場合、ビューアー/アップローダー以上のアクセス権限を持つフォルダのコラボレータは、ごみ箱を検索することでそれを見つけることができ、さらに彼/彼女はそれを復元することができます。
    削除されたアイテムを見ることができるのは、削除したユーザーのごみ箱だけに制限する必要があります。
    これを管理コンソールで設定できればさらに良いと考えています。

  11. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  12. Box Drive: Display pop up warning when copy / move large number of items

    Just like below warning pop-up displayed in WebApp, Box Drive shall pop up a warning to let the user know when large number of files / folders are going to be copied / moved.  (also to prevent accidental copies / moves)

    Copy Items

    (!) This operation is not immediate and may take some time.

    You are about to copy 9000 items to the folder 'Project Folder 01'. Due to the large number of items, this operation may take up to several hours to complete. During this operation, content within this folder may not be available for access. Do you want…

  13. Notification "new version" upload

    Notify the folder group when a new version is uploaded.
    Currently only when the first version is uploaded, a notification is sent. If version 2 is uploaded, the folder group does not get a notification.

  14. Add "Dimensions" info under "File properties"

    To be able to see the dimensions of an image is an extremely valuable feature for designers to review and "QC" all of the marketing assets without having to download all the files.

    Thank you for the suggestion. While we definitely understand the value of displaying dimensions for image files, this functionality is not currently planned on our near term roadmap. Please continue to add comments and suggestions here to help us prioritize in the future.

  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

  16. Need warning message when different filename/extension is uploaded using "Upload New Version"

    User can upload a new version with different filename/extension from the current version using "Upload New Version" feature. User should be prompted when this happens as this is often the user error.

  20. Enhanced Locking Experience on Sync (mimic file server experience) - Auto-Lock & Unlock

    Adapt the Box Sync / Box for Desktop lock/unlock experience to mimic the standard locking UX that users are familiar with from Windows file servers.
    Example screenshot from file server UX: https://cloud.box.com/s/4px71vfralrlpnj6x9sdeoquyxdellg6

    Key Components:
    -Pop-up upon double-clicking a file to ask user if they'd like to check out (lock) a file or open a read-only version
    -Auto-unlock upon closing the file
