  1. Reporting Tools for Box Relay and Box Canvas Via Console and API/SDK

    It would be nice to have a report available in the admin section for Relay and Canvas, as well as access via REST API / SDK so we can generate our own reports.

  2. Slack notifications for tasks

    We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.

  3. Show timestamp in "update" column in Box Web/Box for Teams

    Dear Box team, it would be very helpful shwoing the timestamp of the last change of a file/folder is shown in Box Web and Box Teams Plugin instead of showing the date only (or a text).
    Content shown today:
    Changed yesterday by <Username>

    Desired content:
    <tt.mmm.yy> <hh:mm> <username>

  4. Add Folder for New User

    When creating a new user, we would like the ability for the admin to create a dedicated folder for said user within the new Admin Console UI.

    Currently this feature exists within the original UI.

  5. SSO Break Glass Account

    I have a customer that recently let their SSO certificate expire and when they tried to fix the problem they were completely locked out of their account and were not able to go in and resolve it themselves. They went to support who was ultimately able to help them, but not before a LOT of escalations. The customer stated that other online systems offer a special "break glass" administrative account that when logging in to the system can bypass SSO to get into the account and resolve whatever issue that needs to be resolved. They are asking for a similar…

  6. Better information on Alert Information for Location Detection Rules

    Please add the country below the IP on a Shield Alert Email for Allowed countries Detection rules notification. This keeps us from having to log into box to see what country the violation occurred in..

  7. Shortcut to open file directly without preview

    We would like to have the option to open a file directly without opening the preview first (or right click --> open with).
    Maybe this can be done via a shortcut or a default setting in the user preferences?
    Thanks!

  8. Box for Salesforce - Setting to choose auto-collab permission

    We want the collaborating to be more restrictive, i.e., we don't want users to be able to delete content. Right now we have to customize that interaction.

    One way is to add a setting that, rather than auto collaborating a user from SF, the SF Admin can choose the permission level to auto collab Users (for example as a viewer or viewer uploader)

  9. Comments and notifications for @ mentions

    When @ mentioning a colleague in a document, the email notification not only reaches the recipient, but also all colleagues who are shared in the folder. How can that be changed? Greetings and thanks

  10. Collaboration Expiry notification to Folder Owner

    When setting the Collaboration Expiry period, only the users effected receive an email informing the termination.
    I would like to the Folder/File Owners to receive it too so that they can extend the collaboration when necessary before the collaboration gets terminated.

  11. allow for setting schedule for a report that's been run (and saved) once

    Hi

    an (easily implemented?) suggestion: when a file report is saved and run once, it seems that it can not be easily re-run on a schedule - one has to create a completely new report and set the schedule from the start. This is not ideal - I like to test things out before I commit to a schedule. Can you allow admins to set/change the schedule for a saved report even though the original saved report is a one-off/manually run?

  12. File Request's new email notification format is a step backwards - it doesn't tell us the email address of the uploader (but it used to)

    A few months ago, the format for the email notification would show the email address of an uploader that used the "file request" feature.

    The updated format has LESS information, now it simply says that "someone" uploaded a file. Go back to the prior version which showed the email address of the uploader.

  13. Delete User without transferring content when using Retention Policy

    【Background】
    When a Retention Policy is active and I try to delete a user that does not have a content that is under retention policy, it is required to transfer their content to another user.

    【Request】
    When the user that does not hold an item that is not under retention policy, I would like to have the user deleted without transferring their content.

    This is because we are currently using an ecosystem called Hakonnect, which manages users, but it returns an error when trying to delete a user with retention policy on.

  14. Create an audit only mode for classification policies

    Auto-classification policies can receive an audit only mode similar to Shield Access Policies. Essentially an auto-classification policy in audit only mode will return a list of files that would have triggered an auto-classification upon upload or interaction. Shield administrators can then review the list of files that would have been classified and review for accuracy.

    Decreases risk of misclassifying content due to policy misconfigurations.

  15. Add information about deleting tasks to the User Activity Report

    If a task is accidentally deleted, the current User Activity Report can't see who deleted what task and when.
    There is currently no way to check if the deleted task was really unnecessary.
    We would like to see more items related to the task function in the User Activity Report so that administrators can see who deleted what tasks and when.

    【タスクの削除に関する情報をユーザーアクティビティレポートに追加する】

    タスクが誤って削除された場合、現在のアクティビティレポートでは、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除してしまったか確認できない。
    削除されたタスクが本当に不要なものであったか、現状では確認する術がないため、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除したか、管理者が確認できるよう、
    アクティビティレポートのタスク機能に関する項目を増やして欲しい。

  16. Deleting all active shared links in bulk

    I want to delete all the active shared links within our Company but the only way to do this is sending a report to each user for them to do themselves. As admin I would like to be able to do this every for example 3 months. This would help keep information secure by not having lots of shared links that have been forgotten about active,

  19. Block file request via classification / access policy

    Currently there is no security control for access policies that allows to block file requests.
    We created a classification "external" with the security control "External Collaboration Restriction". However it is still possible that externals upload files to these folders. To us this is also a way of external collaboration. And this also creates the risk of mixing internal and external files in folders that are classified as internal.

  20. Add custom images by browsing to images already stored on Box.

    Allow users to add custom images by browsing to images already stored on Box. Canvas currently only allows users to import custom images from a computer. This increases the complexity of using Canvas, decreases the value of storing media files in Box, and, makes Canvas seem more like 3rd party tool than a Box feature/function.
