  1. Box Relay Outcome for applying current date upon a file upload

    Currently with Box Relay and a Metadata date field you can set a date to be applied upon a file or folder upload. However, you can not select 'current date'. It will only apply a date that you have selected at the time of crafting the relay. It would be great to have an automation to set a date based on when the file was uploaded to Box.

  2. Ability to create folders on the fly when moving/copying content

    Users would like to be able to create a folder when moving/copying content, as opposed to only being able to move/copy content to pre-existing folders. It would save time and energy to be able to do that on the fly as opposed to creating the folder ahead of time.

  3. Date and Time Designation for the "Auto Delete" Function/「自動削除」機能の日時指定について

    For operational purposes, I would like to make files available to external users for a limited time, and then end the release on a set date.
    However, if you use automatic file deletion'' or '' specify folder time,'' the deletion execution date may be delayed by several days from the specified date.
    Please delete files/folders on the specified date instead of deleting them sequentially after the specified date.
    If it is functionally difficult to delete on the day of the specified date, and the delay of several days cannot be corrected, then a warning message should be displayed when the…

  4. Specifying shared folders as destination folders

    Currently it’s not possible to select shared folders when choosing a destination folder on Shuttle, and this reduces the number of accounts that can be used in migrations to Box instances using a closed folder structure (i.e., all content centralized in a few accounts).

    If it becomes possible to migrate into shared folders, it’d allow the use of more migration accounts that could run more jobs simultaneously and speed up migrations projects.

  5. Preserve names when staff leaves

    Add a feature to preserve the names of departed users in the Box Activity comments and tasks and approvals instead of changing their names to "Anonymous User" or "A Prior Collaborator" to preserve records of who was involved in the approval process even if they no longer have active accounts. Additionally, approvals set up by departed users should remain visible and not disappear from the Activity box. This is important for any company using Box as a review or internal control tool.

  6. Allow individual file sharing to groups

    Currently, you can share folders with groups, but not individual files. I have a custom tutorial I'd like to share with a user group wihtout nesting it in a folder, like the "Get Started with Box" PDF file does, but there is no option for it. Optimally, I'd prefer to see an option in which we could replace the "Get Started with Box" PDF file with our own PDF tutorial that addresses our specific needs.

  7. Expansion of File Version Limit settings

    For customers currently using Governance, the "File Version Limit" setting can be set to 1-100 or unlimited.
    We would like this setting to be improved so that it can be specified as 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, etc. The reason is that problems may occur when there are multiple file versions when migrating between tenants or within a tenant, so I would like to limit this in the settings.

  8. shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!

    shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
    The URL is meaningless to the end user and the file path would create an easier way to return to the same document and recognize where it is saved

  9. Contact search on first and last name when sharing a folder

    When searching a contact to share a folder with, the first name, surname and even the email address should be listed as results if they contain the string you are looking for.

    Today search "Smith" to find "John Smith" doesn't give any result, but searching "John" will give "John Smith". The issue is that something you only know the first name or last name of the contact you're looking for. Mickey Mouse might be registered as "Mouse Mickey" and won't be found searching "Mickey". Disturbing.

  10. Ability to scope Malicious Content Rules by User/Group/Shield Lists

    Currently malicious content rules apply to all users. To test moving from an audit/detection-only stance to enforcement, it would be useful to be able to create multiple rules that are scoped to specific users/groups/Shield Lists.
    This will allow us to keep most users in an audit/detection-only rule, while we test enforcement with a pilot group in another rule.

  11. An option to set a parent folder and all subfolders to "available online only"

    Currently, the default drop down menu allows for "Make available offline". This option applies to all sub-folders as well. This is great. After for working on various projects over many months I forget which projects were set to "Make available offline" and requires a lot of tedious and time consuming digging to find folders that were offline and then turn them off.
    It would be great to have the option for any folder regardless of previous settings to "online only".

  13. Set the number of invitation reminder emails to be sent.

    When a managed user invites an external user, I would like a feature that allows them to set the number of reminder emails to be sent, such as once a day, once every three days, once a week, etc.
    This prevents random and careless reminder emails from being sent repeatedly to users of other companies.

    管理対象ユーザーが社外ユーザーに招待した際に、リマインドメールを1日に1回、3日に1回、1週間に1回など、送信回数を設定できる機能がほしいです。
    これによりランダムかつ不用意に何度も送信されるリマインドメールが他社のユーザーに送信されることを防ぐことができます。

  14. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  15. Enable to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via file request.

    I would like to use the Box API to obtain information about the uploader of a file uploaded via a file request.
    In the current specification, the "createdby" and "modifiedby" names of these files are both "Anonymous User" even if the file was uploaded by a user who is logged into Box.

  17. Please implement the ability to check "Search only in this folder" on the search results screen.

    The search function has a check box that says Only search inside of THIS FOLDER.
    Sometimes we click the search button without checking this checkbox, and after the search results are displayed, we regret that we should have specified a folder to search.
    Thereafter, if we then decide to search within a particular folder by checking a checkbox, we have to go back to the original folder, which is time-consuming.
    Please implement the ability to select "Only search inside of THIS FOLDER" without having to return to the previous screen, even after the search results are displayed by clicking the…

  19. Prepare documents for signature within the embedded signing experience

    My prospect is a software company for freight, shipping & analytics looking to revamp their doc management and eSign process. They have a high volume of docs, like rate confirmations letters, that need to be sent from brokers to carriers for signature. We have run into a technical gap that Box Platform + Box Sign do not have an API for doc prep in an iFrame. Doc Prep URL as it stands today cannot be embedded. Prospect does not want brokers to go outside of portal to a Box URL window.
