  1. Open files from web app in Box client

    Oftentimes our team shares the location of a file within Box by pasting a link into, e.g. Asana. Clicking that link opens the item in the Box web app. There's no way to open that location within the Box client on MacOS other than looking at the file path on the web, then manually browsing to that location in Finder. I'd like a link you can click from the web app that reveals the location of that file within Finder.

  4. Update activity report to include password reset (IP & time)

    Add the password reset to the activity report or security log so that you know who sent it.
    Logging the IP address and time of day when it was sent will make it easier to determine if it was done by a malicious third party or by the user.

    (In Japanese)
    パスワードリセットが誰によって送信されたかが分かるようにアクティビティレポートもしくはセキュリティログに追加してください。
    送信時のログにIPアドレスと時間帯ログにのこれば、悪意のある第三者実施したのかユーザーの手によって実施されたのかの調査がしやすくなります。

  5. Ability to view reports as a group administrator

    I would like to see a fix for the error that occurs when a group administrator displays a report.

    If you try to view the report as a group administrator, you may get the error message [Unexpected error.] error may occur.
    The current workaround is to run a report.
    We use the report function when we need to take immediate action for recovery, but if we use [Run], which takes a long time to output, the action will be delayed, which is a problem for our business.
    Therefore, we request that the function of displaying reports be migrated to the…

  6. File counts do not refresh often enough for our needs

    The file counts within the webapp do not update regularly enough.

    We need to be able to see if there are files in folders and if so, how many, without having to look inside each folder.

  7. Like External users, make a remove user from all content for Managed users.

    Like External users, make a remove user from all content for Managed users. So we can remove a managed user from all content instead of removing them from each folder individually.

  8. Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request, or to change the sender email

    Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request. Sometimes the client doesn't recognize the admin person sending the sign request and refuses to sign. It would help to be able to CC their sales rep so the request looks more legitimate.

    Alternatively, I'd like the ability to change who the Box Sign email comes from, so the email notification requesting signature can appear to come from the client's sales rep instead of the admin setting up the signature.

  9. Box notes should have variable width

    Box notes look silly when shared on a widescreen. Tables all scrunched into imaginary paper proportions. You should offer an option to dynamically widen the box note (and its contents) as the window widens.

  10. Notify user on corrupt file upload

    We should be able to notify a user when the file he just uploaded is detected by shield as corrupted.
    The notification could be sent by mail or by notification on the website, depending on the configuration given by the user.

    This feature is relly important on a legal base, because each user should have the ability to correct his own mistake.

  11. Show path of synced files with errors

    Box currently only shows the folder and file name of an element that had an error with syncing but no path. If you have a lot of files and folders it's impossible to find these elements and fix the sync error, especially if a file has a repeatedly used or undescriptive name.
    It doesn't work to search the box folder on Mac and I can't search files that haven't been synced yet in the web interface, so at least the pathname should be displayed, so I can find the affected file locally.

  12. Ability to start a workflow from the "New +" section

    My customer would like to trigger a workflow that copies a folder (and subfolders) IN the folder where it is created.

    Customer use case:

    A financial services company needs to create a deal folder within the company folder a fund team is working from. Instead of going to the deal folder template to copy it into the specific company folder, they would like to trigger the workflow to copy the deal folder template to the company specific folder with one click and from the company folder.

    This would be similar to using a manual trigger but having a dynamic variable…

  15. Output a report detailing the operation of a file request.

    The current useractivity report outputs all file requests as "Edit File Request Link" when the settings are changed or when the file request expires, so it is not possible to see the details of what operations are performed from the report.

    Please make it possible to output a report detailing what was set or changed in the operation.

    (Japanese)
    現在のユーザーアクティビティレポートでは、ファイルリクエストについて設定を変更をした時や有効期限が切れた時に、すべて「ファイルリクエストリンクの編集」として出力されるため、どのような操作が行われているかなど詳細をレポートからは確認することはできません。

    何を設定・変更したか操作の詳細をレポートで出力できるようにしてください。

  16. Send Relay notification to internal distribution list

    In relay, we want to send a notification to a distribution list (internal), but right now you can only send to managed users or external users that have been previously invited to a folder. We have a use case where we want to trigger a notification to an entire group, they have access to the folder, but we don’t want to rely on individual notifications for this, we want them to get a forced notification. They are in a group, but groups in box aren’t mail enabled.

    So either the ability to send to a distribution list… or honestly, what…

  17. Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    E.g. add more fields, enable option so the File Request does not have to all be completed all at once, enable a dashboard for sender and receiver to see completion progress on the full File Request, enable ability for creator of file request to approve items on the file request and mark them complete, enable ability for sender and receiver to edit the File Request retroactively after submissions.

  19. Metadata: enable cascading Metadata for custom Metadata

    I enabled Cascading Metadata, but can only use existing Metadata Templates. When I try to use custom Metadata that is not an existing template, I get error: "Cascade policy cannot be applied to custom metadata at this time."

  20. Search file contents for non-standard file types (e.g. py, R)

    It would be a wonderful if Box could be adjusted to index and search the file contents for files beyond Microsoft Office and text files. For example, much of what I would like to search is in python or R scripts, so being able to index and search those files as well would be very helpful.

    (it would also be very useful to search specific metadata field such as "name" or "type", like windows explorer enables)
